What is the purpose of eth2 on the CVMs?
- A . RDMA Network Segmentation
- B . iSCSI connectivity
- C . Remote site connectivity
- D . Network Segmentation
An administrator wants to utilize Network Visualization to monitor the physical and logical network on the Nutanix cluster. The first-hop switch has LLDP enabled. The network switch information is still not being displayed.
What is causing this problem?
- A . The ISL between switches is not configured.
- B . SNMP is not configured properly.
- C . br0 and br1 are not defined.
- D . The cluster is using RDMA-enabled NICs.
An administrator is migrating 5MB shares from a third-party platform to Nutanix Files with the following characteristics:
• Shares contain user profile directories
• DFS-N will be used
How should the administrator create target shares for this migration?
- A . Create multiple general purpose shares and distribute migrated data as evenly as possible.
- B . Create multiple distributed shares and distribute migrated data as evenly as possible.
- C . Create standard shares with multiple top-level directories and distribute migrated data.
- D . Create distributed shares with multiple top-level directories and distribute migrated data.
An administrator manages the following two Nutanix AOS 5.15 cluster environment:
• Corp-cluster-01
• Corp-cluster-02
The VM images must be available only on Corp-cluster-01, but cannot be checked out to cluster Corp-cluster-02. The images also cannot be checked out to any other clusters that are registered with Prism Central in the future.
Which two configuration settings must the administrator choose when creating the image placement policy that satisfies the stated requirements? (Choose two.)
- A . Create an image placement policy that identifies cluster Corp-cluster-01 as the target cluster
- B . Set the policy enforcement to Soft.
- C . Set the policy enforcement to Hard.
- D . Create an image placement policy that identifies cluster Corp-cluster-02 as the target cluster.
A customer has a Nutanix cluster with 10Gb connectivity via switch fabric extenders. The administrator receives NCC health check errors of latency greater than 200ms.
Which action should the administrator take to resolve the NCC errors?
- A . Replace the switch fabric extenders with 10G line rate switches
- B . Upgrade NCC and increase the CVM memory by 4Gb
- C . Add 2 additional 10G uplinks from the switch fabric extenders per node
- D . Upgrade NCC and increase the vCPU of the CVM
For several days, an administrator notices the following alerts:
• CVM NIC Speed Low Warning Alerts
• Warning Alerts of CVM NIC not performing at optimal speed
• CVM is disconnected from the network Critical Alert
• Network Visualization page shows excessive dropped packets on CVM/Host
Which steps should be taken to determine which problem should be addressed first?
- A . • Access the Hardware Page to verify resources are available
• Analyze ail CVM Speed Alerts in the Alerts/Events page
• Analyze output for the network and interface properties and connectivity issues - B . • Verify Host/CVM connectivity on the Network Visualization page
• Use to verify the bridge and bond configuration
• Review alerts/events page for the CVM disconnected error - C . • Review Alerts page for NIC speed alerts and alert timing
• Analyze the genesis.out log file for process failures
• Assess the NIC properties in the Network Visualization > Host Properties page - D . • Restart networking services on the CVM
• Determine the current configuration of the affected CVM via output
• Access the Alerts/Events page for the CVM network connection failures
Refer to the exhibit.
An administrator configures Active Directory authentication as shown in the exhibit. Upon finishing setup, users are not able to log in.
What configuration change should be made to fix this issue?
- A . Change leaps to https
- B . Change the Directory URL to use an IP rather than a name
- C . Change the plct from 389 to 636
D Change the Domain to use an IP rather than a name
In a Nutanix cluster, a Protection Domain contains 50 entities that are replicated to a remote Single Node Replication Target.
The current schedule configuration is as follows:
• Repeat every 6 hours
• Local Retention Policy 1
• Remote Retention Policy 8
• Starting time 12 am
At 8 am on Monday, the administrator discovers that a protected VM is corrupted. The latest good state was Sunday 2 pm. The administrator needs to maintain current protection.
Which strategy should the administrator use to meet these requirements?
- A . From the Remote site, activate the Protection Domain, then re-protect the entity.
- B . From the Remote site, restore the VM from the local snapshot by selecting the correct snapshot
- C . From the local site, retrieve the correct remote snapshot, then restore the VM locally.
- D . From the local site, restore the VM from the local snapshot by selecting the correct snapshot.
A customer with a four-node RF2 cluster is adding application VMs to their system. After adding these VMs, the Prism dashboard shows 81% storage utilization.
What is the consequence of running the cluster at 81% storage utilization?
- A . The customer has the ability to add more VMs up to the 100% storage utilization.
- B . There is available capacity in the storage fabric and the cluster is resilient.
- C . Node failure is imminent due to storage utilization.
- D . The cluster is not resilient in the storage fabric
A company needs to replicate their VMs to a remote site and must have an RPO of less than 1 hour. When creating a protection domain, what should an administrator do to meet this requirement?
- A . Enable Async Replication with an RPO of 60 minutes
- B . Enable Near-Sync Replication with an RPO of 15 minutes
- C . Enable Entity Sync on the designated VMs
- D . Enable Availability Zones and send the VM to multiple targets
