Nutanix NCP-US Online Questions & Answers

• Question 51:

  What are two network requirements for a four-node FSVM deployment? (Choose two.)

  A. Four available IP addresses on the Storage network
  B. Five available IP addresses on the Client network
  C. Five available IP addresses on the Storage network
  D. Four available IP addresses on the Client network
  B. Five available IP addresses on the Client network
  C. Five available IP addresses on the Storage network

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  The two network requirements for a four-node FSVM deployment are five available IP addresses on the Client network and five available IP addresses on the Storage network. The Client network is used for communication between the FSVMs and the clients, while the Storage network is used for communication between the FSVMs and the CVMs. For each FSVM, one Client IP and one Storage IP are required. Additionally, one extra Client IP is required for the file server VIP (Virtual IP), which is used as a single point of access for all shares and exports on the file server.

• Question 52:

  Which scenario is causing the alert and need to be addressed to allow the entities to be protected?

  A. One or more VMs or Volume Groups belonging to the Consistency Group is part of multiple Recovery Plans configured with a Witness.
  B. One or more VMs or Volume Groups belonging to the Consistency Group may have been deleted
  C. The logical timestamp for one or more of the Volume Groups is not consistent between clusters
  D. One or more VMs or Volume Groups belonging to the Consistency Group contains state metadata
  B. One or more VMs or Volume Groups belonging to the Consistency Group may have been deleted

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  The scenario that is causing the alert and needs to be addressed to allow the entities to be protected is that one or more VMs or Volume Groups belonging to the Consistency Group may have been deleted. A Consistency Group is a logical grouping of VMs or Volume Groups that are protected together by a 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 for disaster recovery purposes. If one or more VMs or Volume Groups belonging to the Consistency Group are deleted, the Protection Policy will fail to protect them and generate an alert with the code AI303551 - VolumeGroupProtectionFailed.

• Question 53:

  Which two prerequisites are needed when deploying Objects to a Nutanix cluster? (Choose two.)

  A. Microsegmentation is enabled.
  B. Data Services IP is configured on the PI
  C. DNS is configured on the PE.
  D. AHV IPAM is disabled on the VLAN used for Objects.
  A. Microsegmentation is enabled.
  B. Data Services IP is configured on the PI

• Question 54:

  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 55:

  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.

• Question 56:

  An administrator is upgrading Files from version 3.7 to 4.1 in the highly secured environment the pre-upgrade check fail with below error:

  FileServer preupgrade check failed with cause (s) Sub task poll timed out

  What initial troubleshooting step should the administrator take?

  A. Examine the failed tasks on the FSVMs
  B. Check the there is enough disk space on FSVMs.
  C. Verify connectivity between the FSVMs.
  D. Increase upgrades timeout from ecli
  C. Verify connectivity between the FSVMs.

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  One of the possible causes of a failed pre-upgrade check for Files is network connectivity issues between the FSVMs. The administrator should verify that there are no firewall rules or network policies that block the communication between the FSVMs on ports 22 (SSH), 9440 (HTTPS), and 2009 (RPC). The administrator can use tools such as ping, traceroute, and telnet to test the connectivity between the FSVMs. References: Nutanix Support Portal - Troubleshooting Nutanix Files Upgrade Issues

• Question 57:

  An administrator has discovered that File server services are down on a cluster.

  Which service should the administrator investigation for this issue?

  A. Minerva-nvm
  B. Sys_stats_server
  C. Cassandra
  D. Insights_collector
  A. Minerva-nvm

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  The service that the administrator should investigate for this issue is Minerva-nvm. Minerva-nvm is a service that runs on each CVM and provides communication between Prism Central and Files services. Minerva-nvm also monitors the health of Files services and reports any failures or alerts to Prism Central. If Minerva-nvm is down on any CVM, it can affect the availability and functionality of Files services on that cluster.

• Question 58:

  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.

• Question 59:

  A company uses Linux and Windows workstations. The administrator is evaluating solution for their file storage needs.

  The solution should support these requirements:

  Distributed File System Active Directory integrated Scale out architecture

  Which of following answer is correct?

  A. Mine
  B. Objects
  C. Volumes
  D. Files
  D. Files

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  The solution that meets the company's requirements for their file storage needs is Files. Files is a feature that allows users to create and manage file server instances (FSIs) on a Nutanix cluster. FSIs can provide SMB and NFS access to file shares and exports for different types of clients. Files supports these requirements: Distributed File System: Files uses a distributed file system that spans across multiple FSVMs (File Server VMs), which improves scalability, performance, and availability. Active Directory integrated: Files can integrate with Active Directory for authentication and authorization of SMB clients and multiprotocol NFS clients. Scale out architecture: Files can scale out by adding more FSVMs to an existing FSI or creating new FSIs on the same or different clusters.

• Question 60:

  What is the binary image extension of File Analytics?

  A. JSON
  B. QCOW2
  C. ISO
  D. VMDK
  B. QCOW2

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  File Analytics is a feature that provides insights into the data stored in Files, such as file types, sizes, owners, permissions, and access patterns. File Analytics is deployed as a VM on an AHV cluster using a QCOW2 binary image file that contains the File Analytics software and configuration3.
