What is causing the current state?

Accepted Answer

A)  VMware support has expired, so downloads are not available. 
B)  vSphere binaries need to be manually uploaded. 
C)  The environment is running the latest vSphere version, so no update is required. 
D)  The cluster is unable to connect to release api.nutanix-ccm:8D.

Question 2

An administrator migrates a VM onto a new Nutanix cluster. After the migration, the administrator observes the following conditions: Cluster memory utilization: 64% Cluster CPU utilization: 19% Cluster storage utilization: 32% Average VM CPU utilization: 25% Average VM CPU ready%: 24% Average VM memory utilization: 60% Which two changes should the administrator make to improve VM performance? (Choose two.)

Accepted Answer

A)  Add more memory to the VMs. 
B)  Reduce the number of vCPUs assigned to VMs. 
C)  Replace high core count CPUs with high clock rate CPUs. 
D)  Reduce the number of VMs on the hosts.

Question 3

An administrator knows that the disks in a cluster are out of date and a new firmware is available. For security reasons, these clusters do not have access to the Internet. Which two steps must be completed to update the firmware? (Choose two.)

Accepted Answer

A)  Configure LCM with a URL to access the firmware bundle. 
B)  Download a dark site bundle and stage it on an internal webserver. 
C)  Download the updated firmware .tgz file from the Nutanix portal. 
D)  Select Upgrade Software, then select disks and upload the updated firmware.

Question 4

A customer recently set up Async Replication between Site A and Site B. The customer wants to conduct a planned failover and clicks Activate on Site B. The customer then runs the following command on Site A: ncli pd deactivate_and__destroy_vms name=<protection_domain_name>. What does this do to the customer environment?

Accepted Answer

A)  VMs get deleted from Site B and the protection domain is now Active. 
B)  VMs are powered off on Site A and must be manually powered on at Site B. 
C)  VMs get deleted from Site A and the protection domain is no longer active. 
D)  Customer must then manually power off VMs at Site A and power them on at Site B.

Question 5

An administrator finds that home shares cannot be configured in a new Files 3.5 deployment. Why is this happening?

Accepted Answer

A)  NFS default access is set to Read Only. 
B)  Multi-protocol access is not configured. 
C)  Access Based Enumeration is not enabled. 
D)  The system is deployed as a single FSVM.

Question 6

An administrator inherits a new Nutanix environment and logs in to a CVM to check the network configuration. The configuration is as follows:  Which action should the administrator take to improve network performance?

Accepted Answer

A)  Configure VLAN tagging both on br0 and br1 and their physical interfaces. 
B)  Add eth0 and eth1 to the br0-up bond 
C)  Configure balance-sib or balance-tcp mode for br0-up if switch configuration allows 
D)  Remove one 10 Gbs interface from br0-up to make sure all 10 Gbs can be used.

Question 7

An administrator receives reports about a Nutanix environment. The investigation finds the following; VMs are experiencing very high latency Each node is equipped with a single SSD, utilized at 95% Each node is equipped with three HDDs, utilized at 40% Why are the guest VMs experiencing high latency?

Accepted Answer

A)  CVMs are overwhelmed by disk balancing operations. 
B)  All VM write operations are going to HDD. 
C)  All VM read operations are coming from HDD. 
D)  VMs are unable to perform write operations

Question 8

An administrator is monitoring the Nutanix v5.15-based AOS cluster performance logs and notices that a SQL server VM is greatly exceeding its intended maximum IOPS. The administrator has confirmed that a QoS policy was previously created for the group of VMs this server is a member of. What are two reasons that this VM would exceed its maximum configured IOPS from the QoS Policy? (Choose two.)

Accepted Answer

A)  The VM is missing the required snapshot needed to implement the QoS Policy. 
B)  The VM was not created as an AFS virtual machine. 
C)  The SQL Server VM has volume groups attached. 
D)  It was cloned from another SQL Server VM that was a member of the QoS Policy.

Question 9

An administrator has an existing Nutanix seven-node cluster running at RF2 that must be changed to have the following capabilities: RF3 set for the cluster Performance tier deduplication What is the minimum memory needed on the CVMs to allow for these capabilities?

Accepted Answer

A)  24GB 
B)  28GB 
C)  32GB 
D)  20GB
