Close answer details
Correct answerA
ExplanationExplanation: inline compression is a technique that compresses all incoming write I/O operations over 4 KB inline in the persistent write buffer (oplog)23. This approach enables you to use oplog capacity more efficiently and helps drive sustained performance 2. From AOS 5.18 onward, inline compression (compression delay=0) is enabled by default for all new containers 24. https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/solutions/details?targetId=TN-2032-Data- Efficiency:TN-2032-Data-Efficiency
An administrator needs to limit the amount of storage space that data stored in single container can consume. Which action should the administrator take?
-
A
Enable reservation for rebuild capacity
-
B
Set an advertised capacity for the container
-
C
Store VM snapshots in a different container
-
D
Thick prevision the container
Reveal answer details
Close answer details
Correct answerB
ExplanationExplanation: The best way for the administrator to limit the amount of storage space that data stored in a single container can consume is to set an advertised capacity for the container. This will ensure that the data stored in the container doesn't exceed the set limit, and it will also help prevent any potential performance issues due to resource contention. Additionally, the administrator should consider thick provisioning the container, which will pre-allocate the amount of storage space that can be used by the container. This will help ensure that the data stored in the container doesn't exceed the advertised capacity.

Question 12
Single choice
An administrator is performing validation testing of a new-deploy cluster. During this test, the administrator disconnect each LAN interface from each of the nodes while pinging the hypervisor and guest VMs. When the first interface is disconnected, pings continue as expected to the hypervisor, but pings stop responding from the guest. Pings continue when the interface is reconnected. When the second interface is disconnected, pings continue to both the hypervisor and guest VMs. What could be the cause of this error?
-
A
This is normal behavior for a LAN Failover
-
B
Switch ports are configured with different VLANs
-
C
Portfast is not enabled on the switch ports
-
D
One of the network interfaces has a bad patch cable.
Reveal answer details
Close answer details
Correct answerB
ExplanationExplanation: switch ports are configured with different VLANs could be the cause of this error. If the switch ports are not configured with the same VLANs as the network interfaces on each node, then there could be a mismatch in network connectivity when one interface is disconnected 1. This could affect the guest VMs that are using a different VLAN than the hypervisor.

Refer to Exhibit:  An administrator is trying to create a custom alert policy for all VMs. Why is the Alert warning if field greyed cut?
-
A
The Alert critical if threshold is set.
-
B
The Behavioral Anomaly threshold is set.
-
C
The Enable Policy option checked.
-
D
The Auto resolve alerts option is checked.
Reveal answer details
Close answer details
Correct answerB
ExplanationExplanation: when you create a custom alert policy, you can choose between two types of thresholds: Static Threshold and Behavioral Anomaly. Static Threshold allows you to set a fixed value for the metric that triggers the alert. Behavioral Anomaly allows you to use machine learning to detect abnormal behavior based on historical data. If you select Behavioral Anomaly as the threshold type, you cannot set a warning level for the alert. You can only set a critical level that indicates how much deviation from normal behavior is considered an anomaly 3. Therefore, the Alert warning if field is greyed out when you select Behavioral Anomaly.
