  B. File Analytics
  C. Prism Central
  D. FSVM
  C. Prism Central

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  The component that must first be upgraded to a compatible version before upgrading Files or creating a file server is Prism Central. Prism Central is a web-based user interface that allows administrators to manage multiple Nutanix clusters and services, including Files. Prism Central must be upgraded to a compatible version with Files before upgrading an existing file server or creating a new file server. Otherwise, the upgrade or creation process may fail or cause unexpected errors. References: Nutanix Files Administration Guide, page 21; Nutanix Files Upgrade Guide

• Question 2:

  Immediately after creation, the administrator is asked to change the name of Objects store.

  How will the administrator achieve this request?

  A. Enable versioning and then rename the Objects store, disable versioning
  B. The Objects store can only be renamed if hosted on ESXi.
  C. Delete and recreate a new Objects store with the updated name.
  D. Update the name of the Objects stores by using a CORS XML file
  C. Delete and recreate a new Objects store with the updated name.

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  The administrator can achieve this request by deleting and recreating a new Objects store with the updated name. Objects is a feature that allows users to create and manage object storage clusters on a Nutanix cluster. Objects clusters can provide S3- compatible access to buckets and objects for various applications and users. Objects clusters can be created and configured in Prism Central. However, once an Objects cluster is created, its name cannot be changed or edited. Therefore, the only way to change the name of an Objects cluster is to delete the existing cluster and create a new cluster with the updated name.

  Explanation/Reference:

  The data protection illustrated in the exhibit is Smart DR. Smart DR is a feature that allows share-level replication between active file server instances for disaster recovery. Smart DR can replicate shares from a primary FSI to one or more recovery FSIs on different clusters or sites. Smart DR can also perform failover and failback operations in case of a disaster or planned maintenance. The exhibit shows a Smart DR configuration with one primary FSI and two recovery FSIs. References: Nutanix Files Administration Guide, page 79; Nutanix Files Solution Guide, page 9

• Question 6:

  An administrator is looking for a tool that includes these features:

  Permission Denials Top 5 Active Users Top 5 Accessed Files File Distribution by Type

  Nutanix tool should the administrator choose?

  A. File Server Manager
  B. Prism Central
  C. File Analytics
  D. Files Console
  C. File Analytics

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  The tool that includes these features is File Analytics. File Analytics is a feature that provides insights into the usage and activity of file data stored on Files. File Analytics consists of a File Analytics VM (FAVM) that runs on a Nutanix cluster

  and communicates with the File Server VMs (FSVMs) that host the file shares. File Analytics can display various reports and dashboards that include these features:

  Permission Denials: This report shows the number of permission denied events for file operations, such as read, write, delete, etc., along with the user, file, share, and server details.

  Top 5 Active Users: This dashboard shows the top five users who performed the most file operations in a given time period, along with the number and type of operations.

  Top 5 Accessed Files: This dashboard shows the top five files that were accessed the most in a given time period, along with the number of accesses and the file details.

  File Distribution by Type: This dashboard shows the distribution of files by their type or extension, such as PDF, DOCX, JPG, etc., along with the number and size of files for each type. References: Nutanix Files Administration Guide, page 93;

• Question 7:

  An administrator has performed an upgrade to Files. After upgrading, the file server cannot reach the given domain name with the specified DNS server list.

  Which two steps should the administrator perform to resolve the connectivity issues with the domain controller servers? (Choose two.)

  A. Verify the DNS settings in Prism Element.
  B. DNS entries for the given domain name.
  C. Verify the DNS settings in Prism Central.
  D. DNS server addresses of the domain controllers.
  A. Verify the DNS settings in Prism Element.
  B. DNS entries for the given domain name.

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  The two steps that the administrator should perform to resolve the connectivity issues with the domain controller servers are:

  Verify the DNS settings in Prism Element: DNS (Domain Name System) is a system that translates domain names into IP addresses. DNS settings are configurations that specify which DNS servers to use for resolving domain names.

  Verifying the DNS settings in Prism Element is a step that the administrator should perform, because it can help identify and correct any incorrect or outdated DNS server addresses or domain names that may cause connectivity issues with

  the domain controller servers.

  Verify the DNS entries for the given domain name: DNS entries are records that map domain names to IP addresses or other information. Verifying the DNS entries for the given domain name is another step that the administrator should

  perform, because it can help check and update any incorrect or outdated IP addresses or other information that may cause connectivity issues with the domain controller servers. References: Nutanix Files Administration Guide, page 32;

• Question 8:

  An administrator ha having difficulty enabling Data Lens for a file server.

  What is the most likely cause of this issue?

  A. The file server has blacklisted file types.
  B. SSR is enabled on the file server.
  C. The file server has been cloned.
  D. The file server is in a Protection Domain.
  C. The file server has been cloned.

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  The most likely cause of this issue is that the file server has been cloned. Cloning a file server is not a supported operation and can cause various problems, such as Data Lens not being able to enable or disable for the cloned file server. To avoid this issue, the administrator should use the scale-out feature to add more FSVMs to an existing file server, or create a new file server from scratch. References: Nutanix Files Administration Guide, page 28; Nutanix Files Troubleshooting Guide, page 11

• Question 9:

  An administrator has received an alert AI60068 - ADSDuplicationIPDetected details of alert as follows:

  

  Which error log should the administrator review to determine the related Duplicate IP address involved?

  A. Tcpkill.log
  B. Minerva_cvm.log
  C. Solver.log
  D. Minerva.nvm.log
  B. Minerva_cvm.log

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  The Minerva_cvm.log file contains information about the Minerva service, which is responsible for managing the FSVMs and their communication with Prism Central. The Minerva_cvm.log file can be used to troubleshoot issues related to Nutanix Files, such as duplicate IP address detection. The log file can be found in /home/nutanix/data/logs/minerva on any CVM in the cluster. References: Nutanix Support Portal - Troubleshooting Nutanix Files

• Question 10:

  An administrator has been tasked with creating a distributed share on a single-node cluster, but has been unable to successfully complete the task.

  Why is this task failing?

  A. File server version should be greater than 3.8.0
  B. AOS version should be greater than 6.0.
  C. Number of distributed shares limit reached.
  D. Distributed shares require multiple nodes.
  D. Distributed shares require multiple nodes.

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  A distributed share is a type of SMB share or NFS export that distributes the hosting of top-level directories across multiple FSVMs, which improves load balancing and performance. A distributed share cannot be created on a single-node cluster, because there is only one FSVM available. A distributed share requires at least two nodes in the cluster to distribute the directories. Therefore, the task of creating a distributed share on a single-node cluster will fail. References: Nutanix Files Administration Guide, page 33; Nutanix Files Solution Guide, page 8
