A new Nutanix cluster is ready for production on a remote site with no IT staff. Changes to the infrastructure will cost money and probably cause a cluster stop. The administrator needs to perform a health check on the environment that should include:
• Network connectivity checks
• Network performance status
• Storage performance status
Which tool should be used to perform this test?
An organizations Nutanix Cluster is based on VMware vSphere. The cluster is configured to download software updates automatically. The administration needs to verify and eventually upgrade VMware hypervisor via Prism Ul.
After logging in to Prism, the administrator receives the message shown:
No available versions for upgrade
What is causing the current state?
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?
Refer to the exhibit.
A Nutanix host is connected as shown in the exhibit with br0-up set to active/backup. Physical Switch 1 experiences a power outage causing br0-up to failover to using eth2. The CVM and host become inaccessible. User VMs restart on other hosts in the cluster, which causes a disruption to those VMs.
Which configuration issue likely caused this outage?
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?
An administrator is planning to deploy a Nutanix cluster to support a few high-performance VMs. This deployment will have the following considerations:
• Individual VMs will likely generate network throughputs in the range of 90-100Mbps
• Due to the configuration of the VMs, it is unlikely that a node will host more than one or two of them at a time
• Individual VMs will communicate with only a few (one or two) remote hosts at a time
• Multicast will not be used in the environment
• The hosts are connected via two 1GbE network connections
How should the administrator configure the network bonds to meet this requirement while maintaining the simplest switch configuration?
An administrator has a custom backup application that requires a 2TB disk and runs in Windows. Throughput is considerably lower than expected.
The application was installed on a VM with the following configuration:
• Four vCPUs with one core/vCPU
• 4GB of Memory
• One 50GB vDisk for the Windows installation
• One 2TB vDisk for the application
What is the recommended configuration change to improve throughput?
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.)
An administrator is configuring software only. Data-at-Rest Encryption on their Nutanix cluster. They are planning to deploy a third-party key management server (KMS).
Where should this server be hosted?
An administrator is deploying a three-tier application on a Nutanix Enterprise Cloud consisting of web, application, and database VMs. Traffic between the servers must be limited to specific services/ports. There is an application layer firewall VM deployed on one host in the cluster.
In which way should the administrator meet this requirement?
An administrator receives reports that VDI desktop performance in an 8-node Nutanix VDI environment is poor. Opening applications takes between 1 and 2 minutes.
When investigating the issue, the following conditions are found:
• Cluster memory utilization: 80%
• Cluster SSD utilization: 70%
• Average VM CPU Wait Time: 11%
• CVM CPU utilization: 75%
Which action should be taken to improve VDI performance?
A VM is exhibiting one or more of the following baseline values based on the past 30 days:
• CPU usage < 20%
• CPU ready time < 5%
• Memory usage < 50% (moderately) or < 20% (severely)
• Memory swap rate = 0 Kbps
Which type of VM is being described?
An administrator has a 32-node hybrid cluster with CPU, RAM and storage utilization of 80%. A database VM is configured with VM Flash.
What is causing this IO latency?
A customer has a primary datacenter with 12 Nutanix blocks distributed across three racks. The customer wants to achieve the most resiliency possible. They also have a datacenter in a branch office that is 400 kilometers away from the primary datacenter.
Which two solutions should be used? (Choose two.)
Refer to the exhibit.
An administrator receive the warning massages shown in the exhibit while validating cluster conversion from EXSi to AHV.
What should the administrator do to address this warning in v Center Server?
An administrator is concerned that Prism will be inaccessible if Active Directory is unable to process logins. Which method should the administrator use to access the cluster in the event of this type of outage?
An administrator protected a DB VM running on a Nutanix cluster with NearSync Replication, which schedules to repeat every 15 minutes □ to a second site. The daily change rate is low. During nightly backups, the replication window is missed due to write volume.
Which two options describe the expected behavior? (Choose two.)
An administrator finds that home shares cannot be configured in a new Files 3.5 deployment. Why is this happening?
A three-node cluster has a Nutanix Files instance with three FSVMs.
What happens after a node failure?
An administrator configures authentication in Prism Central (PC) for the NTNX-Admins group. Users report that they are unable to log in. The administrator confirms that the Active Directory (AD) settings in PC are correct.
Which condition could result in this behavior?
