• Question 53:

  An administrator is tasked with creating an Objects store with the following settings:

  Medium Performance (around 10,000 requests per second) 10 TiB capacity Versioning disabled Hosted on an AHV cluster

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

  Who will the administrator achieve this request?

  A. Enable versioning and then rename the Object 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
  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.

• Question 54:

  An administrator is tasked with performing an upgrade to the latest Objects version.

  What should the administrator do prior to upgrade Objects Manager?

  A. Upgrade Lifecycle Manager
  B. Upgrade MSP
  C. Upgrade Objects service
  D. Upgrade AOS
  D. Upgrade AOS

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  Before upgrading Objects Manager, the administrator must upgrade AOS to the latest version. AOS is the core operating system that runs on each node in a Nutanix cluster and provides the foundation for Objects Manager and Objects service. Upgrading AOS will ensure compatibility and stability for Objects components. References: Nutanix Objects Administration Guide, Acropolis Operating System Upgrade Guide

• Question 55:

  A healthcare administrator configure a Nutanix cluster with the following requirements:

  Enable for long-term data retention of large files Data should be kept for two years Deletion or overwrite of the data must not be allowed

  Which Nutanix-enabled technology should the administrator employ to satisfy these requirements?

  A. Files-Connected share
  B. Files-Read-only share
  C. Objects-WORM with versioning
  D. Objects-Life Cycle Policy
  C. Objects-WORM with versioning

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  The Nutanix-enabled technology that meets these requirements is Objects -WORM with versioning. WORM (Write-Once Read-Many) is a feature that prevents anyone from modifying or deleting data in a bucket while the policy is active. WORM policies help comply with strict data retention regulations that mandate how long specific data must be stored. Versioning is a feature that keeps multiple versions of an object in a bucket whenever it is overwritten or deleted. Versioning policies help preserve previous versions of an object for backup or recovery purposes. By enabling WORM and versioning for an Objects bucket, the administrator can ensure that data is kept for two years without being deleted or overwritten.

• Question 56:

  Which two steps are required for enabling Data Lens? (Choose two.)

  A. In Prism, enable Pulse health monitoring.
  B. Configure a MyNutanix account to access the Data Lens console-
  C. Add File Services VM admin credentials to a MyNutanix account.
  D. Configure the Data Services IP in Prism Central.
  A. In Prism, enable Pulse health monitoring.
  D. Configure the Data Services IP in Prism Central.

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  The two steps that are required for enabling Data Lens are: In Prism, enable Pulse health monitoring: Pulse is a feature that collects diagnostic and usage information from Nutanix clusters and services and sends it to Nutanix for analysis and support purposes. Pulse health monitoring is a feature that monitors the health status of Nutanix clusters and services and sends alerts to Nutanix if any issues are detected. To enable Data Lens, Pulse health monitoring must be enabled in Prism Element or Prism Central. Configure the Data Services IP in Prism Central: Data Services IP is an IP address that is used for communication between Prism Central and Data Lens. Data Services IP must be configured in Prism Central before enabling Data Lens for any file server. Data Services IP must be routable from both Prism Central and Data Lens. References: Nutanix Files Administration Guide, page 93; Nutanix Data Lens Deployment Guide

• Question 57:

  An administrator needs to allow individual users to restore files and folders hosted in Files.

  How can the administrator meet this requirement?

  A. Configure a Protection Domain for the shares/exports.
  B. Configure a Protection Domain on the FSVMs.
  C. Enable Self-Service Restore on shares/exports.
  D. Enable Self-Service Restore on the FSVMs.
  C. Enable Self-Service Restore on shares/exports.

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  Self-Service Restore (SSR) is a feature that allows individual users to restore files and folders hosted in Files without requiring administrator intervention. SSR can be enabled on a per-share or per-export basis, and users can access the snapshots of their data through a web portal or a Windows client application1. References: Nutanix Files Administration Guide1

• Question 58:

  What is the most efficient way of enabling users to restore their files without administrator intervention in multiple Files shares?

  A. Click Enable next to the name of the share in Manage Recovery Settings from Data Lens.
  B. Click Enable Self Service Restore in the Edit wizard for each share in Shares tab from Files Console.
  C. Assign the same Category to all FSVMs and adding that Category to a single Protection Policy in PC.
  D. Add all FSVMs to a Consistency Group within a single asynchronous Protection Domain in PE.
  B. Click Enable Self Service Restore in the Edit wizard for each share in Shares tab from Files Console.

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  Nutanix Files allows users to restore their files from the snapshots taken by the protection policy. A protection policy is a set of rules that defines how often snapshots are taken, how long they are retained, and where they are replicated. A protection policy can be applied to one or more file shares. To enable users to restore their files without administrator intervention, the administrator must enable the Self Service Restore option for each share in the Files Console. This option adds a hidden folder named .snapshot in each share, which contains all the snapshots taken by the protection policy. Users can access this folder and browse the snapshots to find and restore their files. The administrator can also configure the permissions and quota for the .snapshot folder. References: Nutanix Files Administration Guide, page 75; Nutanix Files Self-Service Restore Guide

• Question 59:

  A team of developers are working on a new processing application and requires a solution where they can upload the ... code for testing API calls. Older iterations should be retained as newer code is developer and tested.

  A. Create an SMB Share with Files and enable Previous Version
  B. Provision a Volume Group and connect via iSCSI with MPIO.
  C. Create an NFS Share, mounted on a Linux Server with Files.
  D. Create a bucket in Objects with Versioning enabled.
  D. Create a bucket in Objects with Versioning enabled.

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  Nutanix Objects supports versioning, which is a feature that allows multiple versions of an object to be preserved in the same bucket. Versioning can be useful for developers who need to upload their code for testing API calls and retain older iterations as newer code is developed and tested. Versioning can also provide protection against accidental deletion or overwrite of objects. References: Nutanix Objects Administration Guide

• Question 60:

  Deploying Files instances require which two minimum resources? (Choose two)

  A. 12 GiB of memory per host
  B. 8 vCPUs per host
  C. 8 GiB of memory per host
  D. 4 vCPUs per host
  C. 8 GiB of memory per host
  D. 4 vCPUs per host

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  The two minimum resources that are required for deploying Files instances are 8 GiB of memory per host and 4 vCPUs per host. Memory and vCPUs are resources that are allocated to VMs (Virtual Machines) to run applications and processes. Files instances are file server instances (FSIs) that run on FSVMs (File Server VMs) on a Nutanix cluster. FSVMs require at least 8 GiB of memory and 4 vCPUs per host to function properly and provide SMB and NFS access to file shares and exports. The administrator should ensure that there are enough memory and vCPUs available on each host before deploying Files instances.
