Nutanix NCP-US Online Questions & Answers

• Question 71:

  An administrator is looking for a tool that includes these features:

  Permission Denials Top 5 Active Users Top 5 Accessed Files File Distribution by Type

  Nutanix tool should the administrator choose?

  A. File Server Manager
  B. Prism Central
  C. File Analytics
  D. Files Console
  C. File Analytics

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  The tool that includes these features is File Analytics. File Analytics is a feature that provides insights into the usage and activity of file data stored on 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. File Analytics can display various reports and dashboards that include these features:

  Permission Denials: This report shows the number of permission denied events for file operations, such as read, write, delete, etc., along with the user, file, share, and server details.

  Top 5 Active Users: This dashboard shows the top five users who performed the most file operations in a given time period, along with the number and type of operations.

  Top 5 Accessed Files: This dashboard shows the top five files that were accessed the most in a given time period, along with the number of accesses and the file details.

  File Distribution by Type: This dashboard shows the distribution of files by their type or extension, such as PDF, DOCX, JPG, etc., along with the number and size of files for each type. References: Nutanix Files Administration Guide, page 93;

• Question 72:

  An administrator wants to monitor their Files environment for suspicious activities, such mass deletion or access denials.

  How can the administrator be alerted to such activities?

  A. Configure Alerts and Events in the Files Console, filtering for Warning severity.
  B. Deploy the Files Analytics VM. and configure anomaly rules.
  C. Configure Files to use ICAP servers, with monitors for desired activities.
  D. Create a data protection policy in the Files view in Prism Central.
  B. Deploy the Files Analytics VM. and configure anomaly rules.

  Explanation/Reference:

  The administrator can monitor their Files environment for suspicious activities, such as mass deletion or access denials, by deploying the File Analytics VM and configuring anomaly rules. File Analytics is a feature that provides insights into the usage and activity of file data stored on 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. File Analytics can alert the administrator when there is an unusual or suspicious activity on file data, such as mass deletion, encryption, permission change, or access denial. The administrator can configure anomaly rules to define the threshold, time window, and notification settings for each type of anomaly.

• Question 73:

  An administrator has been tasked with creating a distributed share on a single-node cluster, but has been unable to successfully complete the task.

  Why is this task failing?

  A. File server version should be greater than 3.8.0
  B. AOS version should be greater than 6.0.
  C. Number of distributed shares limit reached.
  D. Distributed shares require multiple nodes.
  D. Distributed shares require multiple nodes.

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  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 task of creating a distributed share on a single-node cluster will fail. References: Nutanix Files Administration Guide, page 33; Nutanix Files Solution Guide, page 8

• Question 74:

  What tool can be used to report on a specific user's activity within a Files environment?

  A. Prism Element Alerts menu
  B. Prism Central Activity menu
  C. Data Lens Audit Trails
  D. Files Console Usage
  C. Data Lens Audit Trails

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  The tool that can be used to report on a specific user's activity within a Files environment is Data Lens Audit Trails. Data Lens Audit Trails is a feature that provides detailed logs of all file operations performed by users on Files shares and exports, such as create, read, write, delete, rename, move, copy, etc. Data Lens Audit Trails can help administrators track and audit user actions and identify any unauthorized or malicious activities. The administrator can use Data Lens Audit Trails to filter and search for a specific user's activity based on various criteria, such as file name, file type, file size, file path, file share, file server, operation type, operation time, operation status, and so on.

• Question 75:

  What are two ways to manage Objects? (Choose two.)

  A. PC
  B. CLI
  C. API
  D. SSH
  A. PC
  C. API

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  There are two ways to manage Objects: PC (Prism Central) and API (Application Programming Interface). PC is a web-based user interface that allows administrators to create, configure, monitor, and manage Objects clusters, buckets, users, and policies. API is a set of S3-compatible REST APIs that allows applications and users to interact with Objects programmatically. API can be used to perform operations such as creating buckets, uploading objects, listing objects, downloading objects, deleting objects, and so on.

• Question 76:

  What is the primary criteria that should be considered for performance-sensitive application shares with sequential.1/O?

  A. IOPS
  B. Connections
  C. Block Size
  D. Throughput
  D. Throughput

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  The primary criteria that should be considered for performance-sensitive application shares with sequential I/O is throughput. Throughput is a measure of how much data can be transferred or processed in a given time period. Throughput is usually expressed in megabytes per second (MB/s) or gigabytes per second (GB/s). Sequential I/O is a type of I/O pattern where data is read or written in a sequential order, such as streaming media, backup, or archive applications.

  Sequential I/O typically requires high throughput to transfer large amounts of data quickly and efficiently. References: Nutanix Files Administration Guide, page 25; Nutanix Files Solution Guide, page 10
