  Which protocols are supported by Files?

  A. SMBv2 SMBv3, NFSv2, NFSv3
  B. SMBv1. SMBv2, NFSv2, NFSv3
  C. SMBv1. SMBv2, NFSv3, NFSv4
  D. SMBv2 SMBv3, NFSv3, NFSv4
  D. SMBv2 SMBv3, NFSv3, NFSv4

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  The protocols that are supported by Files are SMBv2, SMBv3, NFSv3, and NFSv4. SMB (Server Message Block) is a protocol that allows clients to access files, printers, and other resources on a network. NFS (Network File System) is a protocol that allows clients to access files on a remote server as if they were local. Files supports both SMB and NFS protocols for creating shares and exports that can be accessed by different types of clients.

• Question 32:

  An existing Object bucket was created for backups with these requirements:

  *

  WORM policy of one year

  *

  Versioning policy of one year

  *

  Lifecycle policy of three years

  A recent audit has reported a compliance failure. Data that should be retained for three years has been deleted prematurely.

  How should the administrator resolve the compliance failure within Objects?

  A. Modify the existing bucket versioning policy from one year to three years.
  B. Recreate a new bucket with the retention policy of three years.
  C. Modify the existing bucket WORM policy from one year to three years.
  D. Create a tiering policy to store deleted data on cold storage for three years.
  C. Modify the existing bucket WORM policy from one year to three years.

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  The administrator should resolve the compliance failure within Objects by modifying the existing bucket WORM (Write-Once Read-Many) policy from one year to three years. WORM 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. The administrator can extend the WORM retention period for a bucket at any time, but cannot reduce it or delete it. By extending the WORM policy from one year to three years, the administrator can ensure that data in the bucket is retained for the required duration and not deleted prematurely.

• Question 33:

  An administrator is planning to upgrade all ESXi hypervisors in a cluster hosting Files.

  When performing one-click hypervisor upgrades, what prerequisite must be performed?

  A. Enable the anti-affinity rules on all FSVMs.
  B. Manually migrate the FSVMs.
  C. Shutdown the FSVMs.
  D. Disable the anti-affinity rules on all FSVMs.
  D. Disable the anti-affinity rules on all FSVMs.

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  The prerequisite that must be performed before performing one-click hypervisor upgrades is to disable the anti-affinity rules on all FSVMs. Anti-affinity rules are rules that prevent two or more VMs from running on the same host at the same time. Anti- affinity rules can improve the availability and performance of FSVMs by distributing them across different hosts in a cluster. However, anti-affinity rules can interfere with one-click hypervisor upgrades, which require all VMs on a host to be migrated to another host before upgrading the host. Therefore, the administrator must disable the anti-affinity rules on all FSVMs before performing one-click hypervisor upgrades, and re-enable them after the upgrades are completed.

• Question 34:

  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 35:

  Which Data Lens feature maximizes the available file server space by moving cold data from the file server to an object store?

  A. Backup
  B. Versioning
  C. Smart Tier
  D. Smart DR
  C. Smart Tier

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  The Data Lens feature that maximizes the available file server space by moving cold data from the file server to an object store is Smart Tier. Smart Tier is a feature that allows administrators to tier data from Files to cloud storage based on file age, file size, and file type. Smart Tier can help reduce the storage cost and optimize the performance of Files. Smart Tier can move cold data, which is data that has not been accessed or modified for a long time, from the file server to an object store, such as AWS Standard or Azure Blob, and free up the file server space for hot data, which is data that is frequently accessed or modified.

• Question 36:

  A Files administrator needs to generate a report listing the files matching those in the exhibit.

  What is the most efficient way to complete this task?

  A. Use Report Builder in File Analytics.
  B. Create a custom report in Prism Central.
  C. Use Report Builder in Files Console.
  D. Create a custom report in Files Console.
  A. Use Report Builder in File Analytics.

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  The most efficient way to generate a report listing the files matching those in the exhibit is to use Report Builder in File Analytics. Report Builder is a feature that allows administrators to create custom reports based on various filters and criteria, such as file name, file type, file size, file owner, file age, file access time, file modification time, file permission change time, and so on. Report Builder can also export the reports in CSV format for further analysis or sharing. References: Nutanix Files Administration Guide, page 97; Nutanix File Analytics User Guide

• Question 37:

  Which user is authorized to deploy File Analytics?

  A. Prism Central administrator
  B. AD user mapped to a Prism admin role
  C. Prism Element administrator
  D. AD user mapped to a Cluster admin role
  A. Prism Central administrator

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  The user that is authorized to deploy File Analytics is Prism Central administrator. Prism Central is a web-based user interface that allows administrators to manage multiple Nutanix clusters and services, including Files and File Analytics. Prism Central administrator is a user role that has full access and control over all Prism Central features and functions. To deploy File Analytics, the user must log in to Prism Central as a Prism Central administrator and follow the steps in the File Analytics Deployment wizard. References: Nutanix Files Administration Guide, page 93; Nutanix File Analytics Deployment Guide

• Question 38:

  What is the network requirement for a File Analytics deployment?

  A. Must use the CVM not work
  B. Must use the Backplane network
  C. Must use the Storage-side network
  D. Must use the Client-side network
  D. Must use the Client-side network

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  Nutanix File Analytics is a feature that provides insights into the usage and activity of file data stored on Nutanix 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. The FAVM collects metadata and statistics from the FSVMs and displays them in a graphical user interface (GUI). The FAVM must be deployed on the same network as the FSVMs, which is the Client-side network. This network is used for communication between File Analytics and FSVMs, as well as for accessing the File Analytics UI from a web browser. The Client-side network must have DHCP enabled and must be routable from the external hosts that access the file shares and File Analytics UI.

• Question 39:

  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 40:

  An administrator has been directed to configure Volumes to Nutanix's best practices for security.

  What should the administrate! do to be compliant?

  A. Enable at-rest encryption on Volume Groups.
  B. Configure Volume Groups to use CHAP.
  C. Use data services IP for external host connectivity.
  D. Segment iSCSI traffic to a physically separate network.
  B. Configure Volume Groups to use CHAP.

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  Nutanix Volumes is a feature that allows users to create and manage block storage devices (volume groups) on a Nutanix cluster. Volume groups can be accessed by external hosts using the iSCSI protocol. To secure volume groups from unauthorized access, Nutanix recommends configuring CHAP (Challenge-Handshake Authentication Protocol) for each volume group in Prism Element. CHAP is a security feature that authenticates iSCSI initiators and targets before allowing access to a volume group. CHAP requires both the initiator and the target to have a shared secret (a password) that is used to generate a challenge and a response during the authentication process. CHAP can prevent unauthorized access to volume groups and protect data from malicious attacks. References: Nutanix Volumes Administration Guide, page 25; Nutanix Volumes Security Guide
