Nutanix NCA-6.5 Online Questions & Answers

• Question 101:

  On which Prism Element dashboard can an administrator identify that a node is in maintenance mode prior to an LCM upgrade?

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

• Question 102:

  Which NIC-teaming configuration balances network traffic based on source/destination IP addresses and TCP/UDP ports?

  A. Active-Active with MAC Pinning
  B. Active-Active with LACP
  C. Active-Backup
  D. Active-Passive
  B. Active-Active with LACP

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) is a NIC-teaming configuration that balances network traffic based on source/destination IP addresses and TCP/UDP ports. LACP allows the administrator to configure multiple NICs as a single logical NIC, known as a Link Aggregation Group (LAG), which can increase the available bandwidth and provide redundancy. LACP uses a hashing algorithm to distribute traffic across the NICs in the LAG, based on the source and destination IP addresses and TCP/UDP ports. This ensures that traffic is evenly distributed across the NICs, which helps to improve overall network performance and availability.

  A. Extract the AOS binaries to the CVM
  B. Manually Upload Binaries to a local http server
  C. Manually Upload AOS binaries and metadata
  D. Use the LCM dark site Option Providing AOS Binaries
  C. Manually Upload AOS binaries and metadata
  D. Use the LCM dark site Option Providing AOS Binaries

• Question 104:

  In Prism Element, which power action will allow the hypervisor to perform a hard restart on a VM?

  A. Power On
  B. Guest Shutdown
  C. Guest Reboot
  D. Power Cycle
  D. Power Cycle

• Question 105:

  When Does AOS automatically Generate a case with nutanix Support?

  A. When disk space usage is high above 90%
  B. On failure of a scheduled NCC check
  C. When losing network connectivity to the CVM
  D. For every alert detected by pulse Diagnostics
  B. On failure of a scheduled NCC check

• Question 106:

  Nutanix Support Asked an administrator to provide AHV logs to help solve a support request .Which task should be performed to provide log files to the support team?

  A. Run NCC Check from the command line
  B. Upload log files from /home/nutanix/data/logs folder
  C. collect logs from the health Page
  D. Enable Pulse to include additional support information
  A. Run NCC Check from the command line

• Question 107:

  On which entity is Replication Factor configured?

  A. Host
  B. Oplog
  C. Volume
  D. Container
  D. Container

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  Replication Factor is configured on a Container entity. Containers group together virtual disks and files, and allow administrators to set policies on a group level. This allows for increased flexibility in managing storage resources and allows administrators to easily set policies across multiple virtual disks and files. Replication Factor is configured on Containers. A container is a logical grouping of one or more storage pools and defines the storage resources available to virtual machines. The replication factor is a setting that determines the number of copies of data that are stored across the cluster. By configuring the replication factor on a container, you are setting the number of copies of data that will be stored for all virtual machines that are associated with that container. For example, if you have a container with a replication factor of 3, it means that three copies of data will be stored across the cluster, and two copies are required to reconstruct the data in case of a failure.

• Question 108:

  What data is stored as a file on storage devices owned by a CVM?

  A. Storage Pool
  B. vDisk
  C. Extent Group
  D. Container
  B. vDisk

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  A vDisk is a file that is stored on storage devices owned by a CVM. A vDisk represents a virtual disk that is attached to a VM or a CVM. A Storage Pool is a logical grouping of physical disks in a cluster. An Extent Group is a collection of data

  blocks that belong to a vDisk. A Container is a logical grouping of vDisks that share the same storage policies and settings. References:

• Question 109:

  What is the effect of enabling Flash Mode?

  A. Sets the storage tier preference to HDD
  B. Sets the storage tier preference to SSD
  C. Sets the metadata tier preference to HDD
  D. Sets the metadata tier preference to SSD
  B. Sets the storage tier preference to SSD

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  Enabling Flash Mode will set the storage tier preference to SSD, meaning that data will be stored on the high-performance SSD storage tier. Flash Mode is designed to speed up the performance of applications by ensuring that the most frequently used data is stored on the faster storage tier.

• Question 110:

  An administrator should use which Nutanix component to to create in-guest clustering?

  A. Storage Pools
  B. Volumes
  C. Blocks
  D. Containers
  B. Volumes
