NEW QUESTION 2
An administrator manages a cluster and notices several failed components shown in the exhibit.
What two options does the administrator have to run all NCC checks manually? (Choose two.)
A. Using the Actions drop-down menu in the Health dashboard of Prism Element.
B. Running ncc health_checks run-alll on the CVM
C. Using the action action drop-down menu in the Health dashboard of Prism Central
D. Running noc health_checks run_all on the PC VM
Answer: AB
Explanation:
Prism Element and NCC are two ways to run all NCC checks manually on a Nutanix cluster. Prism Element is the web console that provides management and
monitoring capabilities for a single Nutanix cluster. Prism Element has a Health dashboard that shows the status of various components and services in the cluster,
such as disks, nodes, CVMs, NCC, and alerts. The Health dashboard also allows the administrator to run NCC checks manually by using the Actions drop-down
menu on the right side of the screen. The administrator can choose to run all NCC checks or specific checks based on the category or severity. The NCC checks
will run in the background and generate a report that can be viewed or downloaded from the Summary tab. This method is easier and faster than running NCC
from the command line on the CVM.
NCC stands for Nutanix Cluster Check, which is a framework of scripts that performs system checks and validations on Nutanix clusters. NCC can detect issues
related to hardware, software, configuration, hypervisor, networking, and more. NCC can be run from the command line interface (CLI) of any CVM in the cluster
by using the ncc command. To run all NCC checks manually, the administrator can use the command ncc health_checks run_all, which will execute all available
checks and display the results on the screen. This method is more comprehensive and detailed than running NCC from Prism Element. References: : [Health
Dashboard - Prism Element Guide] : [Nutanix Cluster Check (NCC) - Nutanix Support & Insights] : [Running NCC Checks - Nutanix Support & Insights]

NEW QUESTION 4
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.)
Answer: AC
Explanation:
According to the CPU (%) - VMware Docs web search result2, one of the possible causes of high CPU ready % is over-provisioning vCPUs for a VM or having too
many VMs on a host. CPU ready % indicates the percentage of time that the VM was ready, but could not get scheduled to run on the physical CPU. High CPU
ready % can lead to VM performance problems, such as slow response time or application latency. To improve VM performance, the administrator should reduce
the number of vCPUs assigned to VMs or reduce the number of VMs on the hosts, so that there is less contention for CPU resources.
NEW QUESTION 5
An administrator is implementing a VDI solution. The workload will be a series of persistent desktops in a dedicated storage container within a four-node cluster
Storage optimizations should be set on the dedicated storage container to give optimal performance including during a node failure event
Which storage optimizations should the administrator set to meet the requirements?
A. Compression only
B. Deduplication and Erasure Coding
C. Compressoion and Deduplication
D. Compression Deduplication and Erasure Coding
Answer: D
Explanation:
According to the web search results, three storage optimizations that should be set on a dedicated storage container for a VDI solution with persistent desktops
are compression, deduplication and erasure coding. Compression is a technique that reduces the size of data by removing redundant information. Deduplication is
a technique that eliminates duplicate copies of data blocks and stores only unique blocks. Erasure coding is a technique that increases usable capacity by
reducing the replication factor of data blocks and using parity information instead7. These three optimizations can improve performance and save storage space
for VDI workloads, especially during a node failure event when
data needs to be rebuilt from parity information8. The administrator can enable these optimizations by using Prism Element web console or ncli command-line
interface9.
NEW QUESTION 6
When configuring Prism Central, which two log modules are able to forward messages to an external syslog server? (Choose two.

NEW QUESTION 7
An administrator is troubleshooting vDisk performance issues in a Nutanix cluster with hybrid disks. The VMs all have Flash Mode enabled.
But users are reporting disk latency.
What could cause the performance issues?
Answer: D
Explanation:
data size for flash mode exceeds 25% of the SSD capacity could cause the performance issues. Flash mode is a feature that allows vDisks to be pinned to SSDs
for faster access, but it has a limit of 25% of the SSD capacity per node. If this limit is exceeded, some vDisks may be evicted from flash mode and cause disk
latency2.
NEW QUESTION 8
A system administrator needs to add more VMs to their Nutanix cluster.
Which two actions should the administrator perform to determine if the current cluster can accommodate the new VMs? (Choose two)
Answer: BC
Explanation:
According to the web search results, the two actions that the administrator should perform to determine if the current cluster can accommodate the new VMs are:
? Utilize Optimize Resources for VM efficiency: Optimize Resources is a feature in
Prism Central that helps the administrator improve the efficiency and performance of their VMs by identifying and resolving issues such as overprovisioning,
inactivity, constraints, or bullying3. By using Optimize Resources, the administrator can reclaim unused resources and optimize the resource allocation for their
VMs3.
? Determine utilization with Cluster Runway: Cluster Runway is a feature in Prism Central that helps the administrator estimate how long their cluster can continue
to run normally based on the current consumption rate of CPU, memory, and storage resources4. By using Cluster Runway, the administrator can see how adding
more VMs will affect the resource utilization and capacity of their cluster4.

Which three cluster operations require an administrator to reclaim licenses?(Choose three)
A. Destroy a cluster.
B. Upgrade a cluster
C. Migrate a cluster
D. Remove a Node from a cluster
E. Move Nodes between clusters.
Answer: ADE
Explanation:
https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/details/?targetId=Web_Console_Guide- Prism_v4_7:lic_licensing_managing_c.html
Reclaiming Licenses (Including License Renewal)
You can reclaim and optionally re-apply licenses for nodes in your clusters:
? You must reclaim licenses when you plan to destroy a cluster. First reclaim the licenses, then destroy the cluster. You do not need to reclaim Starter licenses.
These licenses are automatically applied whenever you create a cluster, including after you have destroyed a cluster.
? Return licenses to your inventory when you remove one or more nodes from a cluster. Also, if you move nodes from one cluster to another, first reclaim the
licenses, move the nodes, then re-apply the licenses.
? You can reclaim licenses for nodes in your clusters in cases where you want to make modifications or downgrade licenses. For example, applying an Ultimate
license to all nodes in a cluster where some nodes are currently licensed as Pro and some nodes are licensed as Ultimate. You might also want to transition nodes
from Ultimate to Pro licensing.
? You must reclaim licenses when you renew licenses. First reclaim the expired licenses, then apply new licenses.
NEW QUESTION 10
Which AOS process determine if an I/O from a user will be written to OpLog or to an Extent Store?
A. Stargate
B. Curtor
C. Cassandara
D. Zeus
Answer: A
Explanation:
Stargate is the AOS process that handles all I/O operations for the cluster. It is responsible for determining whether an I/O from a user will be written to the OpLog
or to the Extent Store, based on the type and size of the I/O. Stargate also performs data tiering, compression, deduplication, and erasure coding1. Stargate runs
on every CVM and communicates with other Stargates to ensure data locality and redundancy2.
NEW QUESTION 12
In the event of a disk failure, which process will immediately ad automatically scans Cassandra to find all data previously hosted on the failed disk, and all disks in
that node?
A. Curator
B. Stargate
C. Genesis
D. Prism
Answer: A
Explanation:
Curator is the process that runs on every node in a Nutanix cluster and is responsible for data management tasks such as deduplication, compression, erasure
coding, and replication factor compliance. Curator also handles disk failure recovery by scanning Cassandra to find all data previously hosted on the failed disk,
and all disks in that node. Curator then rebuilds the data on other nodes in the cluster using the distributed storage fabric1.

NEW QUESTION 18
An administrator logs in to Prism Element goes to the Network view, and sees the output shown in the exhibit.
Which three steps must the administrator take to increase throughput to the host? (Choose three.)
Answer: ABC
Explanation:
These are the three steps that the administrator must take to increase throughput to the host. According to the network diagram, the host has two 10Gb interfaces
and two 1Gb interfaces in the default bond, but only one of the 10Gb interfaces is connected to a switch. The other 10Gb interface is disconnected and has a red
??X?? on it. The two 1Gb interfaces are also disconnected and have dotted lines. This means that the host is using only one 10Gb interface for all its network
traffic, which limits its maximum bandwidth to 10 Gbps.
To increase the throughput, the administrator should connect both 10Gb interfaces to the physical switch, preferably to different switches for redundancy and high
availability. This will allow the host to use both 10Gb interfaces for network traffic, which can increase its maximum bandwidth to 20 Gbps. However, this also
requires changing the bond mode from active-backup to balance-slb or balance-tcp, which are load balancing modes that distribute network traffic across multiple
interfaces based on source MAC address or TCP session1. The default bond mode of active-backup only uses one interface at a time and switches to another
interface only when the active one fails2.
Finally, the administrator should remove any 1Gb interfaces still connected from the default bond, as they are not needed and may cause performance issues or
conflicts with the load balancing modes. The 1Gb interfaces can be used for other purposes, such as management or backup networks, by creating separate
bonds or bridges for them3. Alternatively, they can be left disconnected if they are not required.
NEW QUESTION 23
Which node type does not deploy a Nutanix Controller VM?
A. Storage Only
B. Hyper Converged
C. Compute Only
D. All Flash
Answer: C
Explanation:
A Compute Only node is a node that does not have any local storage devices and only provides compute resources to the cluster2. A Compute Only node does
not run a CVM, but instead relies on the CVMs of other nodes to access the distributed storage fabric2
NEW QUESTION 27
An administrator is commissioning a Nutanix Enterprise Cloud. Once the user VMs have been deployed and are running, the administrator finds that VMs on the
same host are able to communicate, but are unable to communicate between hosts.
What must be changed to enable full inter-VM communications?
Answer: C
Explanation:
According to the web search results, one possible cause of inter-VM communication failure between hosts is that the switch is not configured to allow VLAN 15
traffic. VLAN 15 is the default VLAN ID used by AHV for internal communication between CVMs and hosts. If the switch blocks or drops VLAN 15 packets, it will
prevent inter-VM communication across hosts4. To enable full inter-VM communication, the administrator should update the switch to specifically allow VLAN 15
traffic on the ports connected to the
AHV hosts.
NEW QUESTION 30
When installing Nutanix Guest Tools (NGT) on an ESXi-hosted VM, which port should be enabled on the VM to allow communication with the NGT-Controller VM
service?
A. 2000
B. 2074
C. 8080
D. 9943
Answer: D
Explanation:
NGT is a software package that enables advanced VM management features provided by Nutanix, such as file-level restore, VM mobility, and application-
consistent snapshots12. To use NGT, you need to enable the NGT feature for a VM in the Prism Element web console, mount the NGT installer (ISO disk file) in
the VM, and install NGT in the VM1. However, before installing NGT, you need to ensure that the VM can communicate with the NGT-Controller VM service, which
runs on the Controller VM (CVM) of each Nutanix node3. The NGT-Controller VM service listens on port 9943 for incoming requests from the guest VMs3.
Therefore, you need to enable port 9943 on the ESXi- hosted VM to allow communication with the NGT-Controller VM service.
NEW QUESTION 34
In which two scenarios is Native Key Management Server supported? (Choose two)
Answer: BD
NEW QUESTION 38
Refer to Exhibit:
An administrator needs to enable inline deduplication for a pre-existing storage container. When trying to enable deduplication on the storage container. this
feature is grayed-out.
What is the reason for this behavior?
Answer: D
Explanation:
Nutanix supports two types of deduplication: post-process and inline. Post- process deduplication runs periodically on a schedule and can be enabled on any
cluster. Inline deduplication runs in real time before data is written to disk and can be enabled only on all-flash clusters.
Therefore, by checking the type of storage and the type of deduplication, you can determine if you can enable inline deduplication on a storage container or not.
Nutanix inline deduplication is a feature that reduces the stored size and avoids duplicate data on a storage container1. It is recommended only on some specific
scenarios, such as when using Nutanix Files or virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) workloads12.
NEW QUESTION 40
An administrator needs to ensure logs, alerts and information is consistent across clusters that are located in different countries.
Which service needs to be configured?
A. SMTP
B. DNS
C. SNMP
D. NTP
Answer: D
Explanation:
NTP service needs to be configured to ensure logs, alerts and information is consistent across clusters that are located in different countries. NTP stands for
Network Time Protocol and it is used to synchronize the clocks of all the nodes in a cluster1. This helps to maintain accurate timestamps for logs, alerts and other
information that are generated by Nutanix clusters1.
NEW QUESTION 45
A node with Erasure Coding fails. What is the impact?
Answer: B
Explanation:
When a node with Erasure Coding fails, the cluster will automatically rebuild the missing data using replication factor (RF) 2 or 3, depending on the cluster
configuration. This means that the data that was previously stored using Erasure Coding will now be stored using full copies, which may increase the amount of
data stored in the SSD tier1.

NEW QUESTION 50
An administrator wants to ensure that data in a container is stored in the most space efficient manner as quickly as possible after being written,
Which space efficiency too meets this requirement?
A. Inline Compression
B. Thin Provisioning
C. Cache Deduplication
D. Erasure Coding
Answer: A
Explanation:
inline compression is a technique that compresses all incoming write I/O operations over 4 KB inline in the persistent write buffer (oplog)23. This approach
enables you to use oplog capacity more efficiently and helps drive sustained performance2. From AOS 5.18 onward, inline compression (compression delay=0) is
enabled by default for all new containers24. https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/solutions/details?targetId=TN-2032-Data- Efficiency:TN-2032-Data-

NEW QUESTION 54
Refer to the exhibit.
An administrator is trying to implement the solution that is shown in the exhibit, but has been unsuccessful.
Based on the diagram, what is causing the issue?
A. A remote Witness VM
B. Active containers in both sites
C. Network latency
D. Unsupported hypervisor
Answer: C
Explanation:
The correct answer is C. Network latency.
The diagram shows a solution that uses synchronous replication between two remote protection domains, cluster site A and cluster site B. Synchronous replication
is a feature that allows near-zero RPO (recovery point objective) by replicating data to the remote site before acknowledging writes to the local site. However,
synchronous replication has some requirements and limitations that must be met for it to work properly. One of these requirements is that the network latency
between the two sites must be less than or equal to 5 ms1. If the network latency is higher than 5 ms, the synchronous replication will fail and the protection policy
will be suspended2.
Therefore, based on the diagram, the most likely cause of the issue is that the network latency between cluster site A and cluster site B is higher than 5 ms, which
prevents the synchronous replication from working. To verify this, the administrator can use the ??ncli cluster ping?? command to measure the network latency
between the two sites3. If the network latency is indeed higher than 5 ms, the administrator can either improve the network performance or switch to a different
replication mode, such as near-synchronous or asynchronous.

NEW QUESTION 57
The Stargate service becomes unavailable on a single CVM on an AHV node. What is used to maintain I/O operations in the cluster?
A. Route injection
B. iSCSl redirector
C. Hypervisor HA
D. ha.py
Answer: A
Explanation:
According to the Nutanix Support & Insights web search result1, route injection is used to maintain I/O operations in the cluster when the Stargate service
becomes unavailable on a single CVM on an AHV node. Route injection is a mechanism that allows the CVMs to communicate with each other and redirect the I/O
requests to another healthy CVM in the cluster. Route injection uses the Linux kernel routing table to add or delete routes dynamically, based on the availability of
the Stargate service on each CVM.

NEW QUESTION 79
What is the expected behavior of the VMs residing on that host when a controller VM becomes unavailable?
Answer: B
Explanation:
According to the Nutanix Support & Insights web search result1, if the owner Controller VM becomes unavailable, the address moves to another Controller VM,
ensuring that it is always available. This IP address is also used as a cluster-wide address by clients configured as part of Nutanix Files and other products.
Therefore, the host will automatically redirect I/O and VMs will continue running without any interruption.
NEW QUESTION 82
An administrator needs to increase bandwidth available to the AHV host and to the CVM. How should the administrator complete this task?
Answer: B
Explanation:
The default network configuration for AHV hosts and CVMs is a bond named br0-up with two or more uplinks in active-backup mode. This means that only one
uplink is active at a time, while the others are in standby mode. This provides high availability, but not load balancing or increased bandwidth. To increase the
bandwidth available to the AHV host and the CVM, the administrator can change the bond mode to Active-Active, which allows all uplinks to be used
simultaneously. This can be done using the manage-ovs commands on each AHV host. The steps are as follows1:
? Log in to the AHV host using SSH.
? Enter maintenance mode on the CVM by running allssh 'cluster status | grep -i cvm | grep -i down'.
? Change the bond mode to Active-Active by running manage_ovs --bond_mode active-active update_uplinks br0-up <uplink_list>, where <uplink_list> is a
comma- separated list of uplink interfaces (for example, eth0,eth1).
? Verify the bond mode by running manage_ovs show_uplinks.
? Exit maintenance mode on the CVM by running allssh 'cluster start'.
Reference: AHV Networking Best Practices
NEW QUESTION 85
An administrator is tasked with configuring networking on an AHV cluster and needs to optimize for maximum single VM throughput.
Which bond mode should the administrator select?
Answer: B
Explanation:
Active-Active is a bond mode that allows all uplinks in the bond to be used simultaneously for traffic transmission and reception. This bond mode provides load
balancing and increased bandwidth for the AHV host and its VMs. Active-Active bond mode uses a hashing algorithm based on source MAC addresses to
distribute traffic across different uplinks in the bond. Each individual VM NIC uses only a single bond member interface at a time, but multiple VM NICs are spread
across different bond member interfaces. As a result, it is possible for a Nutanix AHV node with two 10 Gb interfaces to use up to 20 Gbps of network throughput,
while individual VMs have a maximum throughput of 10 Gbps6.
Therefore, if an administrator needs to optimize for maximum single VM throughput, they should select Active-Active bond mode for their AHV cluster. This bond
mode can be configured using Prism Element UI or manage-ovs commands on each AHV host7. No additional configuration is required on the upstream switch
side, as long as the switches are interconnected physically or virtually and both uplinks trunk the same VLANs8.

NEW QUESTION 87
A user running a Computer Aided Design (CAD) application is complaining about slow response time within the VM, particular when moving windows or rendering
images.
Which VM metric will guide the administrator toward diagnosing the problem?
Answer: B
Explanation:
A GPU (graphics processing unit) is a specialized hardware device that can accelerate graphics rendering and computation for applications that use APIs such as
DirectX, OpenGL, CUDA, and OpenCL. A GPU can also offload the CPU from encoding
and decoding tasks for remote display protocols such as Frame Remote Desktop Protocol (FRP). A VM can use a GPU either by directly accessing a physical
GPU (pGPU) on the host or by using a virtual GPU (vGPU) that shares a pGPU with other VMs. A user running a computer aided design (CAD) application may
benefit from using a GPU or a vGPU to improve the performance and responsiveness of the application, especially when moving windows or rendering images.
However, if the GPU or vGPU is not properly configured or provisioned, the user may experience slow response time within the VM. Therefore, to diagnose the
problem, the administrator should monitor the GPU Usage metric for the
VM. The GPU Usage metric shows the percentage of GPU resources that are consumed by the VM over time3. The administrator can use Prism Central to view
the GPU Usage metric for each VM in a chart or a widget4. The administrator can also use Prism Central to view other metrics related to GPU performance, such
as GPU Memory Usage, GPU Encoder Usage, and GPU Decoder Usage3. By analyzing these metrics, the administrator can determine if the VM is using the GPU
efficiently and optimally, or if it needs more or less GPU resources.

An administrator is configuring cross-hypervisor DR from an ESXi cluster to a new AHV cluster. When the administrator migrates a protection domain to the AHV
cluster, the VMs fail to boot.
What should the administrator do to correct this problem?
Answer: C
Explanation:
According to the web search results, one of the requirements for cross- hypervisor disaster recovery (CHDR) is to install and configure Nutanix Guest Tools (NGT)
on all the VMs2. NGT configures the VM with all the required drivers for VM portability. Without NGT, the VMs may fail to boot after being migrated to a different

NEW QUESTION 93
An administrator is tasked with configuring network on an AHV cluster and wants to maximize throughput for the host with many small VMs while minimizing
network switch configuration.
Which bond mode should the administrator select?
A. Active-active
B. Active-Active with Mac Pinning
C. Active-Backup
D. No-Uplink Bond
Answer: A
Explanation:
According to the Nutanix AHV Networking Guide, active-active bond mode provides load balancing and fault tolerance for network traffic by distributing packets
across multiple interfaces using a hashing algorithm based on source and destination MAC addresses, IP addresses, and TCP/UDP ports. This mode does not
require any special configuration on the network switch and can improve throughput for hosts with many small VMs.
NEW QUESTION 97
Which method can be used to migrate a VM configured for UEFI-boot from a Nutanix Hyper-V cluster to AHV?
A. Live Migration
B. Storage vMotion
C. Nutanix Move
D. Cloud Connect
Answer: C
Explanation:
Nutanix Move is a tool that allows you to migrate VMs from different sources to Nutanix AHV with minimal downtime and complexity. Nutanix Move supports
migration from Hyper- V to AHV, including VMs configured for UEFI-boot. UEFI stands for Unified Extensible Firmware Interface, which is a standard for the
software interface between the operating system and the firmware. UEFI-boot is a mode of booting that uses UEFI instead of BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) to
load the operating system. UEFI-boot offers some advantages over BIOS-boot, such as faster boot time, larger disk support, and better security features1.
To migrate a VM configured for UEFI-boot from a Nutanix Hyper-V cluster to AHV, you need to use Nutanix Move and follow these steps2:
? Download and deploy the Nutanix Move appliance on the AHV cluster.
? Log in to the Nutanix Move web console and add the source Hyper-V environment and the target AHV environment.
? Create a migration plan and select the VMs that you want to migrate. You can choose either automatic or manual preparation mode for the migration.
? Start the migration plan and monitor the progress. The migration plan will perform data seeding, which is the process of copying the VM data from the source to
the target in the background.
? When the data seeding is complete, perform a cutover, which is the process of shutting down the source VMs and powering on the target VMs. The cutover will
also configure the boot device for the UEFI-boot VMs on AHV.
? Verify that the migrated VMs are working as expected on AHV.

Erasure Coding is a feature that increases the usable capacity on a Nutanix cluster by reducing the amount of data replication. Instead of replicating data, Erasure
Coding uses parity information to rebuild data in the event of a disk failure. The capacity savings of Erasure Coding is in addition to deduplication and compression
savings1.
Erasure Coding is most beneficial for scenarios where the data is written once and read infrequently, such as long term storage of archival data, backup data, or
cold data. This is because Erasure Coding has some trade-offs and limitations that may affect the performance and availability of the cluster. Some of these trade-
offs and limitations are2:
? Erasure Coding requires more CPU and memory resources than replication, as it
involves more complex calculations for encoding and decoding data.
? Erasure Coding increases the network bandwidth consumption, as it involves more data transfers between nodes for encoding and decoding data.
? Erasure Coding reduces the resiliency of the cluster, as it can tolerate fewer node failures than replication. For example, a cluster with redundancy factor 2 can
tolerate one node failure with replication, but only two disk failures with Erasure Coding.
? Erasure Coding is not effective for workloads that have many overwrites or random writes, as it involves more overhead for updating the parity information.
? Erasure Coding is not supported for some features, such as volume groups, file
server VMs, or Metro Availability.
Therefore, if an administrator needs to configure a container on a Nutanix cluster, they should enable Erasure Coding only if the container will store data that is
written once and read infrequently. This way, they can maximize the capacity savings of Erasure Coding without compromising the performance and availability of
the cluster.

NEW QUESTION 99
Which two types of granular RBAC does Nutanix provide for AHV hosts? (Choose two.)
A. Category based
B. Project based
C. Disk based
D. Cluster based
Answer: AD
Explanation:
Nutanix provides two types of granular RBAC for AHV hosts: category based and cluster based3. Category based RBAC allows administrators to assign roles to
users or groups based on categories, which are key-value pairs that can be applied to various entities in Prism Central, such as clusters, hosts, VMs, images, and
networks. Categories can be used to group entities by different criteria, such as department, project, environment, or location. For example, an administrator can
create a category key named Department and assign different values to it, such as Finance, Marketing, or Engineering. Then, the administrator can apply this
category to different clusters or hosts and assign roles to users or groups based on this category. This way, users or groups can have different levels of access to
different clusters or hosts depending on their department4. Cluster based RBAC allows administrators to assign roles to users or groups based on specific clusters
registered in Prism Central. For example, an administrator can create a role named Cluster Admin and assign it to a user or group for a particular cluster. This way,
the user or group can have full access to that cluster and its hosts and VMs, but not to other clusters5.

Answer: C
Explanation:
According to the web search results, one recommended configuration change to improve throughput for a custom backup application that requires a 2TB disk and
runs on Windows is to span the 2TB disk across four vDisks. Spanning is a technique that allows you to create a single logical disk from multiple physical disks.
Spanning can improve throughput by distributing I/O requests across multiple disks and reducing contention5. To span a disk across four vDisks, the administrator
should create four vDisks of equal size (500 GB each) and attach them to the VM. Then, in Windows Disk Management, create a spanned volume from the four
vDisks and format it as NTFS6.
Answer: D
Explanation:
Virtual NIC receive packet dropped is the most useful VM metric for isolating the cause of users being disconnected from remote desktop sessions to a specific
VM. This metric shows the number of packets that are dropped by the virtual NIC of the VM due to insufficient buffer space or other reasons. Packet drops can
indicate network congestion, misconfiguration, or performance issues that can affect the quality and availability of remote desktop sessions. Packet drops can also
cause retransmissions, delays, and errors in TCP-based protocols such as RDP2. To view this metric in Prism, go to Entities > Compute & Storage > VMs >
Summary View and select a VM. Then, in the Details View, go to Metrics > Performance and select Virtual NIC receive packet dropped from the drop- down
menu3.
A. The cluster runs in a degraded state until the failed drives are replaced and the data has been restored to three replicas.
B. Sixty minutes after the failures a rebuild of the lost data can remaining HDDs begins torestore to three replicas.
C. The VMs with data on those drives crash, and an HA event occurs, restarting them on a remaining healthy node.
D. The Nutanix cluster recognizes the failures and immediately begins to rebuild lost data to three replicas.
Answer: D
Explanation:
This is because Nutanix uses a distributed storage fabric (DSF) that replicates data across multiple nodes and drives to ensure data resiliency. When a drive fails,
the cluster detects the failure and initiates a data rebuild process to restore the replication factor (RF) of the affected containers. The data rebuild process does not
affect the availability or performance of the VMs, as they can still access their data from other replicas on other nodes or drives. Therefore, there is no need to wait
for 60 minutes, use a shared volume group, or trigger an HA event.
A. Dynamic Network
B. Unmanaged Network
C. Managed Network
D. DHCP Network
Answer: C
Explanation:
A managed network is a type of network that can be created on an AHV cluster and allows VMs to automatically be assigned an IP address at creation time. A
managed network uses the Nutanix IP Address Management (IPAM) service, which provides DHCP and DNS functionality for the VMs on the network. A managed
network can be configured with a subnet range, a default gateway, and DNS servers. The IPAM service will allocate IP addresses from the subnet range to the
VMs and register their hostnames in the DNS servers. The IPAM service will also release the IP addresses when the VMs are deleted or moved to another
network1.
To create a managed network on an AHV cluster, the administrator can use Prism Element or Prism Central. The steps are as follows2:
? In Prism Element, go to the Network Configuration page and click Create Network.
? In Prism Central, go to the Networks page and click Create.
? Enter a name and description for the network.
? Select Managed as the network type.
? Enter the subnet range, default gateway, and DNS servers for the network.
? Optionally, enable VLAN tagging and enter a VLAN ID for the network.
? Click Save.

Answer: AB
Explanation:
Automated live migration is a feature of Nutanix that allows the cluster to automatically move VMs from one host to another without any downtime, in order to
optimize the performance and availability of the cluster. According to the Nutanix documentation1, automated live migration can occur in the following scenarios:
? Cluster resource hotspot: When a host or a group of hosts experience high resource utilization, such as CPU, memory, or network, the cluster can automatically
migrate some VMs to other hosts with lower utilization, in order to balance the load and avoid performance degradation.
? AOS upgrade: When upgrading the Nutanix software (AOS), the cluster can automatically migrate the VMs from the host that is being upgraded to another host
in the same availability zone, in order to maintain the VM availability and minimize the impact of the upgrade process.
? AHV host maintenance mode: When putting an AHV host into maintenance mode, the cluster can automatically migrate all the VMs from that host to another
host in the same availability zone, in order to prepare the host for maintenance operations such as hardware replacement or firmware update.
Answer: BC
Which capability refers to the storage of VM data on the node where the VM is running and ensure that the read I/O does not have to traverse the network?
A. Intelligent Locally
B. Data Locality
C. Intelligent Tiering
D. Data Tiering
Answer: B
Explanation:
Data locality is the capability of storing VM data on the node where the VM is running and ensuring that the read I/O does not have to traverse the network. Data
locality is a unique feature of Nutanix that provides high performance and low latency for VMs by minimizing network traffic and crosstalk. Data locality works by
writing one copy of the data local to the VM and the other copy (or copies) on other nodes. When a VM migrates to another node, Nutanix also moves its data to
the new node and serves all I/O requests locally. Data locality also adapts to changing workloads and access patterns by dynamically moving data to where it is
needed most1.
Answer: AB
Explanation:
According to the Nutanix Volumes - Recommendations And Best Practices web search result3, two actions that the administrator should take when designing the
Volume Group are:
? Distribute workload across multiple virtual disks: Use multiple disks rather than a
single large disk for an application. Consider using a minimum of one disk per Nutanix node to distribute the workload across all nodes in a cluster. Multiple disks
per Nutanix node may also improve an application??s performance. For performance-intensive environments, we recommend using between four and eight disks
per CVM for a given workload.
? Enable RSS (Receive Side Scaling): Receive-side scaling (RSS) allows the system to use multiple CPUs for network activity. With RSS enabled, multiple CPU
cores process network traffic, preventing a single CPU core from becoming a bottleneck. Enabling RSS within hosts can be beneficial for heavy iSCSI workloads.
For VMs running in ESXi environments, RSS requires VMXNET3 VNICs. For Hyper-V environments, enable VMQ to take full advantage of Virtual RSS.
A. Create a sperate three-node cluster using the nodes that meet the requirement.
B. Configure VM-Host affinity for the nodes that meet the application's GPU requirement.
C. Over-Provision the application VM with additional virtual GPUs.
D. Configure anti-affinity rules between the application VM and the other VMs running on the cluster.
Answer: B
Explanation:
Configure VM-Host affinity for the nodes that meet the application??s GPU requirement. This is because VM-Host affinity allows the administrator to specify which
nodes a VM can run on or must not run on1. By creating a VM-Host affinity rule that binds the application VM to the three nodes that have the physical GPU, the
administrator can ensure that the VM will always run on a node that meets its requirement, regardless of any HA or migration events. This also allows the other
nodes in the cluster to host other VMs without any restrictions.
A. Configure IDP authentication and assign the user to the Cluster Admin role in Prism Central.
B. Configure AD authentication and assign the user to the Viewer role in Prism Element.
C. Configure AD authentication create a custom role, assign the user to the role, and apply the role to all clusters and VMs
Answer: C
Explanation:
The best method to provide access for a user to view real-time performance metrics for all VMs on all clusters across the datacenter is to configure AD
authentication create a custom role, assign the user to the role, and apply the role to all clusters and VMs. This method accomplishes this with the least effort and
ongoing maintenance because:
? AD authentication allows Nutanix Prism Central to integrate with an existing Active
Directory (AD) domain and use AD users and groups for authentication and authorization5. This simplifies user management and avoids creating local users on
Prism Central.
? Creating a custom role allows Nutanix Prism Central to define granular
permissions for different actions and entities based on specific needs6. This ensures that users only have access to what they need and nothing more.
? Assigning the user to the custom role allows Nutanix Prism Central to grant access
rights for that user based on the role definition7. This avoids assigning permissions individually for each user.
? Applying the role to all clusters and VMs allows Nutanix Prism Central to
propagate the access rights for that role across all entities in scope8. This ensures that users can view real-time performance metrics for all VMs on all clusters
A. Create a new VLAN, create a subnet on the cluster with the VLAN tag, deploy servers with vNlCs in the new subnet.
B. Create a new Application Security Policy restricting communication to the authorized hosts and apply it to the servers in enforce mode.
C. Create a new solation Environment policy apply it to the new servers and all authorized hosts.
D. Create new' subnet and assign to an existing VPC assign the IP prefix and gateway for the subnet, deploy servers with vNlC5 in the new subnet.
Answer: B
Explanation:
An Application Security Policy is a security feature in Nutanix AHV that can be used to restrict network communication between virtual servers based on a variety
of criteria, such as IP address, port, and protocol. By creating a policy that restricts communication to authorized hosts and applying it to the servers in enforce
mode, the administrator can prevent unauthorized communication between virtual servers.

Answer: BD
Explanation:
Zombie VMs and overprovisioned VMs are two types of inefficient VMs that can waste resources and increase costs in a Nutanix environment. Zombie VMs are
VMs that are powered on but have no activity or utilization for a long period of time. Overprovisioned VMs are VMs that have more resources allocated than they
actually need or use. Both types of VMs can be identified by adding predefined views to a report in Prism Central.
A predefined view is a template that defines what data is displayed and how that data is represented in a report. Prism Central provides several predefined views
for different purposes, such as capacity planning, performance analysis, anomaly detection, and efficiency optimization. To add a predefined view to a report, go to
Operations > Reports > New Report and select the desired view from the list1.
The Zombie VMs List view shows the list of zombie VMs in the environment based on the CPU usage, memory usage, disk IOPS, and network throughput metrics.
The view also shows the amount of resources wasted by these VMs and the potential savings that can be achieved by deleting or resizing them2.
The Overprovisioned VMs List view shows the list of overprovisioned VMs in the environment based on the CPU usage, memory usage, disk IOPS, and network
throughput metrics. The view also shows the amount of resources wasted by these VMs and the potential savings that can be achieved by resizing them3.
By adding these two views to a report, an administrator can identify inefficient VMs and take appropriate actions to optimize resource utilization and reduce costs.

According to the Dell Unity: Data Reduction Technical White Paper1, snapshots and clones on Dell Unity use the Copy-on-Write (CoW) algorithm to maximize
efficiency and effectiveness. CoW is a technique that defers the copying of data until it is modified. This means that snapshots and clones only consume space
when changes are made to the source or the clone, respectively. CoW also preserves the original data in case of a rollback or recovery operation.

Answer: AD
Explanation:
According to section 5 of the exam blueprint guide1, one of the topics covered is live migration. Live migration is the process of moving a running VM from one
host to another without any downtime or interruption of service. To perform live migration, there are some prerequisites that must be met, such as:
? All AHV hosts have IP addresses in the same subnet
? All VMs are configured for the same VLAN
? The source and destination hosts have enough resources to accommodate the VM
? The VM does not have any PCI devices attached
Answer: A
Explanation:
This is because there is no GUI method to unregister a cluster from Prism Central, so the process requires SSH access to the PC VM as well as to a CVM of the
cluster2. The unregistration process involves getting the UUID of the cluster from the CVM and then using that to trigger de-registration from PC command line2.
The unregistration process also involves cleaning up any associated metadata and configuration on both PC and PE2. Therefore, the administrator needs to use a
Host SSH session to perform this task.
What steps does the administrator need to take to install the OS?
Answer: D
Explanation:
Answer D. Load the Virtual SCSI pass-through controller.
The error message shown in the image indicates that Windows 10 setup cannot find any drives to install the OS. This is because the Nutanix AHV hypervisor uses
a virtual SCSI pass-through controller to present disks to the VMs, and Windows 10 does not have a built- in driver for this device. Therefore, the administrator
needs to load the Nutanix VirtIO driver for the virtual SCSI pass-through controller during the OS installation process. The Nutanix VirtIO driver package contains
various drivers that are specifically used by Windows VMs hosted in the Nutanix environment to enhance their stability and performance1. The administrator can
download the latest Nutanix VirtIO driver package from the VirtIO
downloads page of the Nutanix support portal. The administrator can then follow these steps to load the driver and install the OS2:
? On the Windows 10 setup screen, click Load driver.
? Insert a USB drive or mount an ISO image that contains the Nutanix VirtIO driver package.
? Browse to the location of the driver package and select the folder that matches the OS architecture (32-bit or 64-bit).
? Select the vioscsi.inf file and click Next.
? Wait for the driver to load and then click Refresh.
? Select the disk where you want to install Windows 10 and click Next. References: 1: VirtIO Driver Versions for Windows 2: Installing Windows on AHV

To periodically send information about cluster efficiency via email to a set of users, the administrator can follow these steps:
? Create a report in Prism Central that contains the relevant information about cluster efficiency.
? Add a schedule to the report to generate and send the report via email to the set of users at a specified frequency.
This will ensure that the users receive regular updates about the cluster efficiency without the need for manual intervention.
Which two initial cluster configuration tasks were missed during the deployment process? (Choose two.)
Answer: AD
Explanation:
According to the image description, the exhibit shows a screenshot of a computer screen with a table of data. The table has 6 columns and 4 rows. The columns
are labeled ??Date??, ??Time??, ??Status??, ??Details??, ??Configuration??, and ??Duration??. The rows contain information about different configurations and
their statuses. The background is a light blue color. There is a pop-up message on the bottom right corner of the screen that reads ??This question has been
answered. Click here to enable the edit button.??
Based on the table data, it seems that the screenshot is taken from the Prism Central web console, showing the results of a cluster health check report. The report
shows that there are four failed checks: Host Password Policy, CVM Password Policy, NTP Configuration, and Cluster Time Skew2. These checks indicate that
some initial cluster configuration tasks were missed during the deployment process.
The Host Password Policy check verifies that the host passwords are not set to default values and are compliant with the password policy defined in Prism
Central3. The CVM Password Policy check verifies that the CVM passwords are not set to default values and are compliant with the password policy defined in
Prism Central4. These checks are important for ensuring the security and compliance of the cluster. Therefore, changing the host and CVM passwords from their
default values and following the password policy guidelines are two initial cluster configuration tasks that were missed.

Answer: B
Explanation:
A bond is a logical interface that combines two or more physical interfaces on an AHV host. A bond provides high availability and load balancing for the network
traffic of the host and its VMs. A bond can have different modes that determine how the traffic is distributed and how the bond handles failures of the physical
interfaces. The most common bond modes are active-backup, active-active, and LACP1.
Nutanix recommends including at least two physical interfaces in every bond to ensure high availability and redundancy. If one of the physical interfaces fails or is
disconnected, the other interface can take over the traffic without affecting the connectivity of the host or its VMs. Having at least two physical interfaces in a bond
also allows for maintenance operations such as firmware upgrades or cable replacements without downtime2.
Nutanix does not recommend including NIC models from different vendors in the same bond, as this may cause compatibility issues or performance degradation.
Nutanix also does not recommend using only one physical interface in a bond, as this provides no redundancy or load balancing benefits3.
Reference: Nutanix AHV Networking Best Practices
Answer: C
Explanation:
One of the NICs needs to be configured on the internal VLAN. This is because the VMs that are isolated need to communicate with the firewall VM through a
private network, and the firewall VM needs to communicate with the external network through a public network. The internal VLAN is a logical network that can be
created and managed by AHV1. If the firewall VM does not have a NIC on the internal VLAN, it will not be able to route traffic between the isolated VMs and the
outside world.
Answer: B
Explanation:
switch ports are configured with different VLANs could be the cause of this error. If the switch ports are not configured with the same VLANs as the network
interfaces on each node, then there could be a mismatch in network connectivity when one interface
is disconnected1. This could affect the guest VMs that are using a different VLAN than the hypervisor.
A. Compression
B. Parity strip
C. Erasure coding
D. Deduplication
Answer: C
Explanation:
According to the Nutanix Support & Insights web search result1, erasure coding is a data savings technique that utilizes stripes and parity calculation in a Nutanix
cluster. Erasure coding increases the usable capacity on a cluster by reducing the replication factor of data blocks. Instead of replicating data, erasure coding uses
parity information to rebuild data in the event of a disk or node failure. Erasure coding can save up to 50% of storage space compared to replication factor 2, and
up to 75% compared to replication factor 32.

Answer: B
Explanation:
The best way for the administrator to limit the amount of storage space that data stored in a single container can consume is to set an advertised capacity for the
container. This will ensure that the data stored in the container doesn't exceed the set limit, and it will also help prevent any potential performance issues due to
resource contention. Additionally, the administrator should consider thick provisioning the container, which will pre-allocate the amount of storage space that can
be used by the container. This will help ensure that the data stored in the container doesn't exceed the advertised capacity.
A. Image
B. AHV Cluster
C. Category
D. Project
Answer: C
Explanation:
Categories are key-value pairs that can be used to tag entities such as VMs, images, networks, and projects in Prism Central. Categories can be used to create
dynamic groups of entities based on their attributes, and assign roles and permissions to those groups3. In this case, a category such as OS=Linux can be used to
group all Linux VMs and grant access rights to the Linux administration team.
Answer: B
Answer: D
Explanation:
The correct answer is D. Fewer than 30 I/Os and less than 1000 bytes per day of network traffic for the past 21 days.
A zombie VM is a type of inactive VM that is powered on but does very little activity. A zombie VM wastes host resources such as CPU, memory, disk, and network
that could be used by other VMs. A zombie VM can be identified by using the VM Profile feature in Prism Central. The VM Profile feature analyzes the resource
utilization of each VM and assigns it a profile based on its efficiency and impact on other VMs. The profiles are as follows1:
? Efficient: The VM is well-provisioned and has optimal resource utilization.
? Over-provisioned: The VM has more resources than it needs and has low resource utilization.
? Constrained: The VM has less resources than it needs and has high resource
utilization.
? Inactive: The VM has no resource utilization and is idle or powered off.
? Bully: The VM has high resource utilization and causes contention for other VMs. A zombie VM is a subtype of an inactive VM that meets the following criteria2:
? The VM is powered on for the past 21 days.
? The VM does fewer than 30 read or write I/Os (total) per day for the past 21 days.
? The VM receives or transfers fewer than 1000 bytes per day of network traffic for the past 21 days.
To identify a zombie VM, the administrator can use Prism Central to view the VM Profile dashboard and filter by profile type. The dashboard shows the number of
VMs in each profile type, as well as their resource consumption and efficiency score. The administrator can also drill down into each VM to see its detailed metrics
and recommendations for optimization.
