An administrator needs to initiate a new VDI project within a couple of months. Prism Central reports there are no storage resources to accommodate such workloads.
The administrator sees many powered-off VMs and has the authority to delete test VMs powered off at least for 30 days. Test VMs belong to the Test category.
Using Prism Central, which steps are required to identify the correct VMs to be deleted?
- A . Use Capacity Runway to filter by Test and Powered-off VMs
- B . Filter VMs list, choose Test category and Inactive under Efficiency
- C . Create a new Scenario selecting Test VMs. filter by uptime
- D . Create a new Project selecting Test VMs, sorting by power state
Refer to the exhibit.
User 1 and User 2 belong to the AAPM group
What are two descriptions of how Files perform quota management? (Choose two.)
- A . User 2 can continue to add another 3GB file but will receive a daily notification email.
- B . User 1 can continue to add another 5GB file but will receive a daily notification email.
- C . User 1 can add an 8GB file to the share without receiving notification.
- D . User 2 can add an 8GB file without receiving a notification email.
A customer wants to run SAP HANA on a Nutanix cluster with the following characteristics:
• AHV nodes
• SAP HANA version 2
• Production database files
Which configuration should be recommended to the customer?
- A . Start with a cluster containing three or more nodes
- B . Enable only compression for the container that contains the Production database
- C . Do not enable compression, deduplication. or erasure coding on the storage container
- D . Plate the SAP HANA Database on the same socket as CVM
An administrator knows that the disks in a cluster are out of date and a new firmware is available.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.)
- 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.
A three-node cluster has a Nutanix Files instance with three FSVMs.
What happens after a node failure?
- A . The affected FSVM will get live-migrated to another node.
- B . The affected FSVM will not be restarted on another node due to its agent VM setting.
- C . The affected FSVM will not be restarted on another node due to its VM-to-VM anti-affinity settings.
- D . The affected FSVM will be restarted on another node.
A VDI environment based on AHV Cluster is not performing well. The current environment is using only one bridge (Bridge0). The administrator needs to verify if nodes are using all network cards associated to Bridge0.
Which two menus should be used to check the current configuration? (Choose two.)
- A . Network Configuration item in Settings menu
- B . Host view in Network menu
- C . Host NICs tab in Hardware menu
- D . I/O Metrics tab in VM menu
An administrator needs to create and start five new VMs for a Data Analytics Project (OLAP).
The VM Profile is as follows:
• vCPU:4
• vRAM: 64 GB
• vDisk: 1.5 TB
Each of the four nodes of the Nutanix cluster has the following:
• 24 vCPU. 20% overall usage
• 192 GB RAM, 60% overall usage
• 2xl920GBSSD
• 4x 2 TB HDD
At cluster level, there is a single RF2 container that is 30% utilized and has an extent store capacity of 13.5 TB.
Which component requires administrator attention?
- A . Physical RAM, because it is not enough to power on all of the new VMs.
- B . Physical Cores, because they are not enough to power on all of the new VMs.
- C . Storage, because the capacity is not enough to create VMs.
- D . Flash Tier because it is not enough to accommodate the workloads.
Refer to the exhibits.
An administrator has reported that a new VM is not performing well.
After analyzing the information presented in the exhibits, which option shows the best conclusion regarding this workload?
- A . VM is CPU constrained since the hypervisor cannot provide the required resources.
- B . VM is CPU constrained because more CPU needs to be added to the VM.
- C . VM is Storage constrained, because the workload is waiting for storage access.
- D . VM is not CPU constrained, because the VM is not running, a multithreaded application.
An administrator is notified that a bare metal database server is down. This database server is being served storage using a Nutanix Volume Group. Upon investigating, the administrator finds that the disks in the database server that map to the vDisks in the volume group have gone offline.
What is causing this issue?
- A . The Volume Group Load Balancer has been disabled.
- B . Port 9443 is blocked in the server firewall.
- C . Port 3260 has been blocked in the server firewall.
- D . A CVM serving the Volume Group has gone offline.
Refer to the exhibit.
An administrator logs in to Prism and sees the status shown in the exhibit within the Hardware Diagram section.
What should the administrator do?
- A . Resolve all alerts and re-import the disks to make sure there is no service disruption.
- B . Restart all CVMs for the cluster to check, confirm health and repartition and add the disks.
- C . Reseat all disks immediately. If this does not help, reseat the nodes.
- D . Check status of applications running on the cluster and call support
