• Question 24:

  An administrator needs to protect a Files cluster unique policies for different shares.

  How should the administrator meet this requirement?

  A. Create a protection domain in the Data Protection view in Prism Element.
  B. Configure data protection polices in File Server view in Prism Element
  C. Create a protection domain in the Data Protection view in Prism Central.
  D. Configure data protection polices in the Files view in Prism Central.
  D. Configure data protection polices in the Files view in Prism Central.

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  The administrator can meet this requirement by configuring data protection policies in the Files view in Prism Central. Data protection policies are policies that define how file data is protected by taking snapshots, replicating them to another site, or tiering them to cloud storage. Data protection policies can be configured for each share or export in a file server in the Files view in Prism Central. The administrator can create different data protection policies for different shares or exports based on their protection needs and requirements.

• Question 25:

  An administrator has deployed a new Files cluster within a Windows Environment.

  After some days, he Files environment is not able to synchronize users with the Active Directory server anymore. The administrator observes a large time difference between the Files environment and the Active Directory Server that is responsible for the behavior.

  How should the administrator prevent the Files environment and the AD Server from having such a time difference in future?

  A. Use the same NTP Servers for the File environment and the AD Server.
  B. Use 0.pool.ntp.org as the NTP Server for the AD Server.
  C. Use 0.pool.ntp.org as the NTP Server for the Files environment.
  D. Connect to every FSVM and edit the time manually.
  A. Use the same NTP Servers for the File environment and the AD Server.

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  The administrator should prevent the Files environment and the AD Server from having such a time difference in future by using the same NTP Servers for the File environment and the AD Server. NTP (Network Time Protocol) is a protocol that synchronizes the clocks of devices on a network with a reliable time source. NTP Servers are devices that provide accurate time information to other devices on a network. By using the same NTP Servers for the File environment and the AD Server, the administrator can ensure that they have consistent and accurate time settings and avoid any synchronization issues or errors.

• Question 26:

  Before upgrading Files or creating a file server, which component must first be upgraded to a compatible version?

  A. FSM
  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 27:

  What is a mandatory criterion for configuring Smart Tier?

  A. VPC name
  B. Target URL over HTTP
  C. Certificate
  D. Access and secret keys
  D. Access and secret keys

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  Smart Tier requires access and secret keys to authenticate with the target storage tier, which can be Nutanix Objects or any S3-compatible storage service. The access and secret keys are generated by the target storage service and must be provided when configuring Smart Tier3. References: Nutanix Files Administration Guide3

• Question 28:

  What best describes the data protection illustrated in the exhibit?

  A. Smart DR
  B. Metro Availability
  C. Availability Zones
  D. NearSync
  A. Smart DR

  ---

  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 29:

  An administrator is attempting to create a share that will provide user access via SMB and NFS. However, the Enable multiprosotocol accounts for NFS clients settings is not available.

  What would cause this issue?

  A. The connection to Active Directory has not been configured.
  B. The file server instance was only configured with SMB.
  C. The incorrect Files license has been applied.
  D. NFS configured to use unmanaged authentication.
  A. The connection to Active Directory has not been configured.

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  The cause of this issue is that the connection to Active Directory has not been configured. Active Directory is a service that provides centralized authentication and authorization for Windows-based clients and servers. To create a share that will provide user access via SMB and NFS, the administrator must first configure the connection to Active Directory in the Files Console. This will allow the administrator to enable multiprotocol accounts for NFS clients, which are accounts that map NFS users to SMB users and groups for consistent access control across both protocols. References: Nutanix Files Administration Guide, page 32; Nutanix Files Solution Guide, page 6

• Question 30:

  Refer to the exhibit.

  

  What does the `'X'' represent on the icon?

  A. Share Disconnected File
  B. Corrupt ISO
  C. Distributed shared file
  D. Tiered File
  C. Distributed shared file

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  The "X" on the icon represents a distributed shared file, which is a file that belongs to a distributed share or export. A distributed share or export is a type of SMB share or NFS export that distributes the hosting of top-level directories across multiple FSVMs. The "X" indicates that the file is not hosted by the current FSVM, but by another FSVM in the cluster. The "X" also helps to identify which files are eligible for migration when using the Nutanix Files Migration Tool.
