    2.

    CPU ready time<; 5%

    3.

    Memory usage<; 50% (moderately) or<; 20% (severely)

    4.

    Memory swap rate = 0 Kbps

    Which type of VM is being described?

    A. Constrained VM
    B. Inactive VM
    C. Bully VM
    D. Over-Provisioned VM

  • Question 272:

    After finishing customer education during a new cluster deployment, the consultant wants to make sure all in-scope tasks have been completed.

    Which document can the consultant use to verify all tasks have been closed out?

    A. As-Built Guide

  • Question 273:

    A customer has a G6 AHV cluster with 4x10GbE NICs on each node and the following configuration:

    1.

    Networking is set to default

    2.

    Only two NICs are connected

    The customer receives the following critical message:

    The NIC is disconnected from the switch, or the switchport is failing.

    What should the consultant verify to resolve the issue?

    A. The NICs are configured for active-backup.
    B. The VLANs are configured correctly on the switch or tagged on the cluster.
    C. The other two 10GbE connections are removed from the default bond.
    D. The NICs are connected for balance-slb.

  • Question 274:

    After installation, network ports are properly configured with the default active-backup bonding.

    One 10GbE port goes to switch 1. Another 10GbE port goes to switch 2. A consultant tests failover by manually pulling one of the cables and notices it is taking too much time to failover, which is causing excessive packet loss.

    What should the consultant enable to resolve this issue?

    A. LACP on switch
    B. PAgP
    C. Portfast
    D. Jumbo frames

  • Question 275:

    An administrator is deploying an application using Nutanix Volumes. After configuring the volume group and connecting the guest's iSCSI initiator to the volume group, they begin performance testing.

    The administrator learns that performance on the virtual disk attached to the iSCSI initiator is far less than that of a virtual disk connected directly to the VM.

    Which situation is causing this condition?

    A. The VM's iSCSI traffic is being routed to the data services IP subnet
    B. The performance test is generating small block random 10.
    C. The duster data services IP address is a bottleneck, shared with other iSCSI traffic
    D. Data Locality ensures that VM attached disks are always faster than iSCSI volumes.

  • Question 276:

    An administrator is deploying a new application to a Nutanix Enterprise Cloud. The application requires a security to prevent unauthorized access. The application also uses many non-standard ports that are unique to it. Security should not be changed for existing applications.

    What should the administrator do to meet these requirement?

    A. Use existing categories for the VMs. and create new security policies to use the existing categories.
    B. Use existing categories for the VMs and modify existing security policies to include the specific port.
    C. Create new categories for the VMs, and create new security policies that include the new categories.
    D. Create new categories for the VMs, and modify existing security policies to include the new categories.

  • Question 277:

    A customer has two mission-critical applications and needs to have them backed up to a remote location. The remote location is connected using a leased line and has an average latency of 7 ms.

    Which Nutanix technology will provide the shortest RPO possible?

    In which order should the cluster be deployed?

    A. Create Cluster -> Install License Key -> Encrypt Cluster -> Create Storage Containers
    B. Create Cluster -> Install License Key -> Create Storage Containers -> Encrypt Cluster
    C. Create Cluster -> Encrypt Cluster -> Install License Key -> Create Storage Containers
    D. Create Cluster -> Create Storage Containers -> Encrypt Cluster -> Install License Key

  • Question 280:

    An administrator receives a notification that storage in a Nutanix cluster is unavailable. The cluster consists of five nodes and is configured with a Fault-Tolerance level of 1 (FT-1).

    Upon investigation, the administrator finds the following:

    1.

    All AHV hosts are powered on and the CVMs are running

    2.

    Nodes A, B, and C are connected to one top of rack switch

    3.

    Nodes D and E are connected to a second top of rack switch

    4.

    The cluster status command run on Node A shows that CVM services on nodes D and E are down

    Which issue is causing the storage outage?

    A. The default gateway for the CVMs and AHV hosts is down.
    B. The switch connecting Nodes D and E is down.
