• Question 133:

  Administrator is creating a Windows 10 VM that will be used for a virtual desktop template. After creating the VM and booting to the ISO, the administrator is unable to install Windows and receives the following error.

  

  What steps does the administrator need to take to install the OS?

  A. Load the Nutanix VirtIO Serial Bus Driver.
  B. Load the VirtIO Network Ethernet Adaper.
  C. Load the Nutanix Virtual Balloon Driver.
  D. Load the Virtual SCSI pass-through controller.
  D. Load the Virtual SCSI pass-through controller.

• Question 134:

  Refer to exhibit:

  

  An administrator needs to update some images that were previously uploaded to their Nutanix cluster, while logged into Prism Element when trying to update the images, the update icon is not enabled. What could be the cause for this behavior?

  A. RBAC is configured and the administrator's user doesn't have the right privileges.
  B. The files were ISO but were uploaded as disk images hence cannot be used or edited.
  C. Images are corrupted and must be re-uploaded.
  D. Images were imported into Prism Central.
  D. Images were imported into Prism Central.

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  According to Nutanix Support and Insights1, image create, update, and delete (CUD) behavior depends on whether a cluster (also known as Prism Element) is registered to Prism Central. Images created on a Prism Element reside on Prism Element and can be managed from Prism Element. For better centralized management, you can migrate images manually to Prism Central by using the image import feature.

• Question 135:

  AHV IPAM assigns an IP address from the address pool when creating a managed VM NIC.

  At which two instances does the address release back to the pool? (Choose two)

  A. The IP address lease expires
  B. The VM NIC is deleted.
  C. The IP address is changed to static.
  D. The VM is deleted.
  B. The VM NIC is deleted.
  D. The VM is deleted.

  Explanation/Reference:

  https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/solutions/details/?targetId=BP- 2029_AHV:BP-2029_AHV Administrators can use Acropolis with IPAM to deliver a complete virtualization deployment, including network management, from the unified Prism interface. This capability radically simplifies the traditionally complex network management associated with provisioning VMs and assigning network addresses. To avoid address overlap, be sure to work with your network team to reserve a range of addresses for VMs before enabling the IPAM feature. The Acropolis master assigns an IP address from the address pool when creating a managed VM NIC; the address releases back to the pool when the VM NIC or VM is deleted.

• Question 136:

  Refer to Exhibit:

  

  An administrator needs to enable inline deduplication for a pre-existing storage container. When trying to enable deduplication on the storage container. this feature is grayed-out.

  What is the reason for this behavior?

  A. Replication Factor 1 is configured on the storage container.
  B. The cluster has less than 5 nodes which is the minimum node-count to enable deduplication.
  C. Capacity reservation is not enabled on the storage container.
  D. The cluster has hybrid storage and deduplication is supported only on all-flash clusters.
  D. The cluster has hybrid storage and deduplication is supported only on all-flash clusters.

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  Nutanix supports two types of deduplication: post-process and inline. Post- process deduplication runs periodically on a schedule and can be enabled on any cluster. Inline deduplication runs in real time before data is written to disk and can

  be enabled only on all-flash clusters.

  Therefore, by checking the type of storage and the type of deduplication, you can determine if you can enable inline deduplication on a storage container or not. Nutanix inline deduplication is a feature that reduces the stored size and avoids

  duplicate data on a storage container1. It is recommended only on some specific scenarios, such as when using Nutanix Files or virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) workloads12.

• Question 137:

  An administrator wants to reduce the largest amount of alert emails received from Prism Central.

  Which two settings should the administrator customize to meet this requirement? (Choose two)

  A. Skip empty digest email
  B. Every Single Alert
  C. Dally Digest
  D. Email Recipients
  C. Dally Digest
  D. Email Recipients

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  According to the Nutanix Support and Insights website1, you can configure alert emails through Prism Central by enabling or disabling customer email notification for each alert. You can also modify or create custom alert policies for different entities and clusters23.

• Question 138:

  A user is complaining about slowness of a mission-critical MSSQL Server. The administrator logs into Prism Element to investigate the VM performance and observes what is shown in the diagram.

  

  Which action would best improve VM performance?

  A. Disable hyperthreading in the BIOS.
  B. Add additional RAM to the user VM.
  C. Add additional RAM to the host on which the VM is running.
  D. Ensure the host's CPUs ere not excessively overcommitted.
  B. Add additional RAM to the user VM.

  Explanation/Reference:

  Prism Element is a graphical user interface that allows you to manage Nutanix clusters1. You can use Prism Element charts to understand Nutanix cluster workloads and troubleshoot performance related issues2. memory optimized virtual

  machine sizes offer the best performance for SQL Server workloads on Azure VMs. Adding more RAM to the user VM can help reduce paging and improve query execution times.

  SQL Server performance can be affected by disk latency and throughput. By creating separate virtual disks for data and logs, you can spread activity across multiple spindles and reduce disk contention.

• Question 139:

  After running an LCM inventory it is noticed that there are a number of firmware and software updates available. The administrator would like to avoid any host reboots, but would like to apply some of the available updates? Which two updates can be done while avoiding a host reboot? (Choose two.)

  A. M.2 Drives
  B. AHV
  C. Data Drives
  D. AOS
  A. M.2 Drives
  D. AOS

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  AOS and M.2 Drives are two updates that can be done while avoiding a host reboot. AOS is the Acropolis Operating System that includes the hypervisor, storage and management components of the Nutanix cluster, and firmware and software updates can also be applied to it without requiring any host reboots

• Question 140:

  During an AHV upgrade, an administrator finds that a critical VM was powered off rather than migration to another host. Which scenario explains this behavior?

  A. NO AHV hosts were able to be scheduled.
  B. The VM OS hung during migration.
  C. The VM was on the same host as the acropolis leader.
  D. The VM was marked as an agent VM.
  D. The VM was marked as an agent VM.
