Nutanix NCA-6.5 Online Questions & Answers

• Question 61:

  An organization runs several core business applications on a Nutanix cluster. System stability and support are critical for these applications, which has an annual maintenance window. How can the administrator assure that these requirements are met?

  A. Purchase Mission Critical support.
  B. Purchase Ultimate licensing.
  C. Adhere to the STS release cycle.
  D. Adhere to the LTS release cycle.
  D. Adhere to the LTS release cycle.

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  To assure system stability and support for critical applications running on a Nutanix cluster, the administrator can adhere to the LTS (Long Term Support) release cycle. LTS releases provide stability and long-term support, with a focus on maintenance and bug fixes rather than new features. This can help ensure that the system remains stable and supported during the annual maintenance window

• Question 62:

  Which support case priority level should be assigned?

  A. P1 ?Emergency
  B. P2 ?Critical
  C. P3 ?Normal
  D. P4 ?Low
  C. P3 ?Normal

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  According to Nutanix Support Best Practices, P3 cases are designated for issues that have a moderate business impact or affect non-production systems. P3 cases are intended for issues that are important but not critical, and the issue can be deferred while continuing with normal business operations. Examples of P3 cases include software defects, minor configuration issues, or minor hardware problems.

• Question 64:

  A customer is running a three-node Nutanix cluster.

  Which data optimization feature cannot be enabled in this scenario?

  A. Post Compression
  B. Map-reduce dedup
  C. Erasure Coding
  D. Inline Compression
  C. Erasure Coding

• Question 65:

  Which feature or configuration is best for securing network traffic between the management and storage replication environments?

  A. Use of Firewall Rules
  B. Network Segmentation
  C. VM Anti-Affinity Rules
  D. Different Storage Containers
  B. Network Segmentation

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  Network segmentation is the best feature or configuration for securing network traffic between the management and storage replication environments. Network segmentation is the practice of dividing a computer network into subnets, each serving a different purpose or function. By dividing the network into different segments, it is possible to control and monitor the flow of traffic between the different segments, and to implement different security policies for each segment. For example, the management environment could be segmented from the storage replication environment, and only specific traffic, such as management traffic, would be allowed to flow between the two segments. This can help to protect the management environment from potential security threats that may originate from the storage replication environment. Other options like firewall rules, VM anti-affinity rules, and different storage containers can also help to secure network traffic, but network segmentation provides a more comprehensive and granular way to secure the traffic between different environments. You can find more information on this topic in the Nutanix Security Configuration Guide, which is available on the Nutanix support website: https://portal.nutanix.com/#/page/docs/details?targetId=Security-Guide-v5_24:Security-Guide-v5_24

• Question 66:

  What is the purpose of Discoveries within the Nutanix Support Portal?

  A. To identify clusters that are affected by known issues.
  B. To provide an audit trail of cluster logins.
  C. To identify VMs that require OS updates or patching.
  D. To provide forecasting of cluster resource utilization.
  A. To identify clusters that are affected by known issues.

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  Discoveries within the Nutanix Support Portal are used to identify clusters that are affected by known issues. This can help Nutanix Support quickly identify and address any potential problems that may be caused by a specific issue.

• Question 67:

  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 command can the administrator run to find the correct VLAN ID from the CVM?

  A. ifconfig
  B. manage-ovs
  C. acli
  D. ovs-vscl
  B. manage-ovs

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  The manage-ovs command can be used to find the correct VLAN ID from the CVM, as it allows the administrator to view and configure network settings for Open vSwitch (OVS). The ifconfig command can be used to view network interfaces

  and IP addresses, but not VLAN IDs. The acli command can be used to manage Acropolis services and objects, but not network settings. The ovs-vsctl command can be used to view and configure OVS settings, but it is not available on the

  CVM. References:

• Question 68:

  What requirement needs to be considered before configuring Replication Factor of 1 (RF1)?

  A. Application resiliency
  B. Hypervisor
  C. RAID configuration
  D. Node count
  D. Node count

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  To configure Replication Factor 1 (RF1), the cluster must have at least three nodes. In RF1, data is replicated to two other nodes within the cluster, so having at least three nodes is necessary to ensure that the data is replicated. Moreover,

  when you configure RF1, the cluster must have a minimum of three nodes to ensure that the data is accessible even if one of the nodes goes down.
