Nutanix NCM-5.15 Online Questions & Answers

• Question 1:

  An administrator needs to initiate a new VDI project within a couple of months. Prism Central reports there are no storage resources to accommodate such workloads.

  Using Prism Central, which steps are required to identify the correct VMs to be deleted?

  A. Use Capacity Runway to filter by Test and Powered-off VMs
  B. Filter VMs list, choose Test category and Inactive under Efficiency
  C. Create a new Scenario selecting Test VMs. filter by uptime
  D. Create a new Project selecting Test VMs, sorting by power state
  B. Filter VMs list, choose Test category and Inactive under Efficiency

• Question 2:

  A. NearSync
  B. Leap
  C. Metro Availability
  D. AsynandDR
  B. Leap

  B. A drive has been reformatted
  C. A node has been rebooted
  D. A drive has been rejected
  C. A node has been rebooted

• Question 5:

  An administrator is notified that a bare metal database server is down. This database server is being served storage using a Nutanix Volume Group. Upon investigating, the administrator finds that the disks in the database server that map to the vDisks in the volume group have gone offline.

• Question 6:

  An administrator migrates a VM onto a new Nutanix cluster. After the migration, the administrator observes the following conditions:

  Cluster memory utilization: 64%

  Cluster CPU utilization: 19%

  Cluster storage utilization: 32%

  Average VM CPU utilization: 25%

  Average VM CPU ready%: 24%

  Average VM memory utilization: 60%

  Which two changes should the administrator make to improve VM performance? (Choose two.)

  A. Add more memory to the VMs.
  B. Reduce the number of vCPUs assigned to VMs.
  C. Replace high core count CPUs with high clock rate CPUs.
  D. Reduce the number of VMs on the hosts.
  B. Reduce the number of vCPUs assigned to VMs.
  D. Reduce the number of VMs on the hosts.

• Question 7:

  An administrator is managing multiple Windows and Linux VMs connected to Nutanix Volumes. The Linux VMs are experiencing intermittent connectivity issues. The Windows VMs do not experience the same issue. Which option should the administrator use to resolve this issue?

  A. Utilize Jumbo Frames
  B. Add additional disks to the Volume Group
  C. Set the SCSI timeout value to 60
  D. Utilize a separate subnet for the Linux VMs
  C. Set the SCSI timeout value to 60

• Question 8:

  A customer has NearSync configured. When the administrator tries to restore a snapshot from 3 minutes ago, it is not available. The snapshots are happening at 15-minute intervals instead of at the 5-minute configured interval. When the protection domain was initially set up, the snapshots were happening at the expected 5-minute interval.

  What should the customer do to enable the snapshots to happen at the expected interval?

  A. Utilize Metro Availability to meet this requirement
  B. Change the protection domain to use Async DR
  C. Fix a connectivity issue because the protection domain reverted to Async
  D. Configure the protection domain to take snapshots on 15-minute intervals
  C. Fix a connectivity issue because the protection domain reverted to Async

• Question 9:

  An administrator deletes a large amount of data from a Volume Group presented to a Linux VM. The administrator notices that the deleted data has not been reclaimed as usable storage. What action should be taken to reclaim the storage capacity?

  A. Shrink the Volume Group that is associated with the Linux VM
  B. Unmount the Volume Group and then Remount the Volume Group
  C. Enable the unman operation on the Linux VMD. Run Defrag on the Linux VM
  B. Unmount the Volume Group and then Remount the Volume Group

• Question 10:

  After deploying a Nutanix AHV cluster, which two actions should the administrator take to meet the requirements? (Choose two.)

  A. Deploy Volumes to support the AIX and SQL workloads.
  B. Migrate the ESXI workloads to AHV using Move.
  C. Deploy Files to support the AIX hosts.
  D. Migrate the ESXi and Hyper-V workloads using Move.
  A. Deploy Volumes to support the AIX and SQL workloads.
  D. Migrate the ESXi and Hyper-V workloads using Move.
