NCM-MCI-5.20 Nutanix Certified Master - Multicloud Infrastructure (NCM-MCI) 5.20 Free Practice Exam Questions (2025 Updated)

An administrator is trying to correct high cluster IOPs and Cluster Controller Latency. Networking is the suspected issue.

Which networking parameters should be configured in the Nutanix cluster?

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?

An administrator is deploying an application using Nutanix Volumes. After configuring the volume group and connecting the guest's iSCSI initiator to the volume group, they begin performance testing.

The administrator learns that performance on the virtual disk attached to the iSCSI initiator is far less than that of a virtual disk connected directly to the VM.

Which situation is causing this condition?

A customer has a four-node cluster and is using Volume Groups to provide storage services to a SQL cluster.

In the event of a CVM failure in the cluster, what is the expected IO path of the volume group’s iSCSI targets?

Over the period of 2 to 3 weeks, a cluster displays the following:

•Periods where Warning Alerts of memory usage over 75% are asserted

•Periods where Critical Warnings of memory usage over 90% are asserted

•Periods of slow of frozen VDI desktops have caused work stoppage or slowdown

•VDI clones have periodically not powered up when called, causing work stoppage

Which steps should be used to prioritize the administrator’s troubleshooting efforts?

An administrator needs to expand a nutanix cluster that is tagging the network traffic at the CVM and AHV level, however the administrator doesn't remember the configured VLAN ID.

Which AHV command can the administrator run to find the correct VLAN ID?

A customer has two mission-critical applications and needs to have them backed up to a remote location. The remote location is connected using a leased line and has an average latency of 7 ms.

Which Nutanix technology will provide the shortest RPO possible?

Refer to the exhibit.

What is the purpose of eth2 on the CVMs?

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 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.)

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?

An administrator deploys Exchange on a Nutanix cluster. The administrator creates two containers with RF2 configuration:

• One container for Exchange

• One container for the other VMs

The Exchange VM is experiencing I/O performance issues.

Which changes to Storage Optimization should be used on the Exchange container to enhance I/O performance?

An administrator needs to install prism central for their 2550 multi-cluster environment.

How should they deploy the application?

An administrator has Created a new VM, but When accessing the console to monitor the guest install, the administrator sees the effect shown in the exhibit.

What is the likely cause of this issue?

An administrator needs to take a single node down for maintenance. Which two steps should the administrator take? (Choose two)

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 has received the following critical alert:

Node 192.168.148.172 is marked to be detached from metadata the administrator has opened a case with Nutanix and the support engineer has requested more information about the error. Which two action should the administrator take in the health check dashboard to collect the requested information? choose two

An administrator needs to make sure an RF3 cluster can survive a failure of two complete racks without negatively affecting performance. The current cluster configuration consists of the following:

• 30 All Flash Nodes: distributed 10 nodes per rack across three 42U racks

• Each node is configured with 20TB usable storage all flash (Cluster Total 600TB Usable)

• Current cluster utilization is 500TB storage

• Storage containers have Erasure Coding enabled

Which configuration changes should be made to make sure the cluster meets the requirements?

An administrator receives a notification that storage in a Nutanix cluster is unavailable. The cluster consists of five nodes and is configured with a Fault-Tolerance level of 1 (FT-1).

Upon investigation, the administrator finds the following:

• All AHV hosts are powered on and the CVMs are running

• Nodes A, B, and C are connected to one top of rack switch

• Nodes D and E are connected to a second top of rack switch

• The cluster status command run on Node A shows that CVM services on nodes D and E are down

Which issue is causing the storage outage?
