Nutanix NCA-6.10 Online Questions & Answers

• Question 61:

  An administrator needs to verify whether an issue reported by users is reflected in cluster activity records.

  Which area should the administrator review?

  A. Events
  B. License packages
  C. Replication factor
  D. Storage optimization settings
  A. Events

  ---

  Explanation

  Events is the appropriate focus because Events are the cluster activity records that help administrators correlate user reports with what the environment recorded. Events maps the scenario to entitlement management, which is the boundary that determines where the administrator should act in a Nutanix environment. Events keeps the operation in a supported path with predictable cluster behavior when multiple nodes, services, workloads, or management views are involved. Events should be remembered as a functional match: identify the requested outcome, then choose the Nutanix component that owns that outcome.

  License packages can matter in a different workflow, while Events is tied to the outcome requested here.

  Replication factor is a neighboring term, but Events carries the responsibility that satisfies the requirement.

  Storage optimization settings should be ruled out because the behavior under discussion belongs to Events. Events is also a useful study anchor because it links the scenario wording to a real administrative action instead of to a term that only shares the same general topic.

• Question 62:

  After starting LCM updates, an administrator would like to see a detailed view of each update as it progresses.

  Which Prism Element dashboard should the administrator use to monitor the LCM updates?

  A. Analysis
  B. Tasks
  C. Hardware
  D. Alerts
  B. Tasks

  ---

  Explanation

  Tasks is the appropriate focus because.

  The Tasks dashboard is the operational view for following update jobs after LCM starts them. Tasks maps the scenario to cluster support evidence, which is the boundary that determines where the administrator should act in a Nutanix environment. Tasks keeps the operation in a supported path with predictable cluster behavior when multiple nodes, services, workloads, or management views are involved. Tasks should be remembered as a functional match: identify the requested outcome, then choose the Nutanix component that owns that outcome.

  Analysis should be ruled out because the behavior under discussion belongs to Tasks. Hardware points to a separate concern, so comparing it with Tasks helps isolate the actual administrative function. Alerts can matter in a different workflow, while Tasks is tied to the outcome requested here. Tasks is also a useful study anchor because it links the scenario wording to a real administrative action instead of to a term that only shares the same general topic.

  A. Windows time sources
  B. Internal NTP sources
  C. Rate-limited NTP sources
  D. External ISP NTP sources
  B. Internal NTP sources

  ---

  Explanation

  Internal NTP sources is the appropriate focus because Internal NTP sources give the cluster stable time from a controlled service rather than depending on rate-limited or external public services. Internal NTP sources maps the scenario to logical storage behavior, which is the boundary that determines where the administrator should act in a Nutanix environment. Internal NTP sources keeps the operation in a supported path with predictable cluster behavior when multiple nodes, services, workloads, or management views are involved.

  A. Use Nutanix Recovery Plan.
  B. Use the Recycle Bin.
  C. Use NC2 on AWS.
  D. Use third party tools.
  B. Use the Recycle Bin.

  ---

  Explanation

  Use the Recycle Bin is the appropriate focus because.

  The Recycle Bin keeps recently deleted virtual machines for a short recovery window so the latest deleted state can be recovered. Use the Recycle Bin maps the scenario to virtual networking design, which is the boundary that determines where the administrator should act in a Nutanix environment. Use the Recycle Bin keeps the operation in a supported path with predictable cluster behavior when multiple nodes, services, workloads, or management views are involved. Use the Recycle Bin should be remembered as a functional match: identify the requested outcome, then choose the Nutanix component that owns that outcome.

  What should the administrator enable to meet this requirement?

  A. Self-Service
  B. Proxy Server
  C. Pulse
  D. NKP
  C. Pulse

  ---

  Explanation

  Pulse is the appropriate focus because Pulse allows Nutanix Support to receive diagnostic data and gather logs without a separate manual collection event. Pulse maps the scenario to cluster support evidence, which is the boundary that determines where the administrator should act in a Nutanix environment. Pulse keeps the operation in a supported path with predictable cluster behavior when multiple nodes, services, workloads, or management views are involved. Pulse should be remembered as a functional match: identify the requested outcome, then choose the Nutanix component that owns that outcome.

  Self-Service should be ruled out because the behavior under discussion belongs to Pulse. Proxy Server points to a separate concern, so comparing it with Pulse helps isolate the actual administrative function.
