• Question 43:

  Which action is required to allow the deletion of file server audit data in Data Lens?

  A. Enable the File Server.
  B. Disable the File Server.
  C. Update the data retention period.
  D. Configure the audit trail target.
  C. Update the data retention period.

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  The action that is required to allow the deletion of file server audit data in Data Lens is to update the data retention period. Data retention period is a setting that defines how long Data Lens keeps the file server audit data in its database. Data Lens collects and stores various metadata and statistics from file servers, such as file name, file type, file size, file owner, file operation, file access time, etc. Data Lens uses this data to generate reports and dashboards for file analytics and anomaly detection. The administrator can update the data retention period for each file server in Data Lens to control how long the audit data is kept before being deleted.

  What will be the best way to achieve this requirement?

  A. Migrate cold data from the Files to tape storage.
  B. Backup the data using a third-party software and replicate to the cloud.
  C. Setup another cluster and replicate the data with Protection Domain.
  D. Enable Smart Tiering in Files within the File Console.
  D. Enable Smart Tiering in Files within the File Console.

• Question 46:

  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 47:

  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 48:

  An organization currently has two Objects instances deployed between two sites. Both instances are managed via manage the same Prism Central to simplify management.

  The organization has a critical application with all data in a bucket that needs to be replicated to the secondary site for DR purposes. The replication needs to be asynchronous, including al delete the marker versions.

  A. Create a Bucket replication rule, set the destination Objects instances.
  B. With Object Browser, upload the data at the destination site.
  C. Leverage the Objects Baseline Replication Tool from a Linus VM
  D. Use a protection Domain to replicate the objects Volume Group.
  A. Create a Bucket replication rule, set the destination Objects instances.

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  The administrator can achieve this requirement by creating a bucket replication rule and setting the destination Objects instance. Bucket replication is a feature that allows administrators to replicate data from one bucket to another bucket on a different Objects instance for disaster recovery or data migration purposes. Bucket replication can be configured with various parameters, such as replication mode, replication frequency, replication status, etc. Bucket replication can also replicate all versions of objects, including delete markers, which are special versions that indicate that an object has been deleted. By creating a bucket replication rule and setting the destination Objects instance, the administrator can replicate data from one Objects instance to another asynchronously, including all delete markers and versions.

• Question 49:

  An administrator is trying to create a Distributed Share, but the Use Distributed Share/Export type instead of Standard option is not present when creating the share.

  What is most likely the cause for this?

  A. The file server does not have the correct license
  B. The cluster only has three nodes.
  C. The file server resides on a single node cluster.
  D. The cluster is configured with hybrid storage
  C. The file server resides on a single node cluster.

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  The most likely cause for this issue is that the file server resides on a single node cluster. 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 option to use distributed share/export type instead of standard is not present when creating a share on a single node cluster.

• Question 50:

  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.
