NCS-Core Nutanix Certified Services Core Infrastructure Professional Questions and Answers

Refer to the exhibit.

An administrator creates a security policy that isolates their financial application from accessing the Internet When viewing the policy in Prism Central, several connections from the application are outbound to the Internet.

What is causing this issue with the policy?

An administrator is using Nutanix Move to migrate aWindows VM from ESXi to AHV. Automated guest preparation is failing with an error:

Account has UAC enabled error

The administrator is using the local built-in administrator account for the Windows VM Admin approval mode must remain enabled.

What should theadministrator do to continue with the migration with Nutanix Move?

Refer to the exhibit.

An administrator notices a critical alert on the Metro Availability Protection Domain What is causing this alert?

A consultant configures a Nutanix cluster and integrates the hosts into vCenter using VMware best practices. The customer has requested that the Nutanix cluster only have a single datastore.

Upon configuring the cluster per the customer requirements, vCenter displays an alert regarding the heartbeat datastore. The consultant adds the das.ignoreInsufficientHbDatastore value = true rule. The container can be seen from each host, but the alert remains active.

What should the consultant do to resolve this issue?

A consultant successfully completes a Foundation using a flat switch. The consultant then works with the customer to move the cluster over to their production network. After the move, the CVMs and hypervisors can no longer communicate, which prevents the cluster from starting.

Which option should be used to resolve this issue?

For several days, an administrator notices the following alerts:

• CVM NIC Speed Low Warning Alerts

• Warning Alerts of CVM NIC not performing at optimal speed

• CVM is disconnected from the network Critical Alert

• Network Visualization page shows excessive dropped packets on CVM/Host

Which steps should be taken to determine which problem should be addressed first?

A VM does not have enough resources for the demand,which leads to performance bottlenecks. The VM is exhibiting one or more of following baseline values, based on the past 30 days:

• CPU usage > 90% (moderate), 95% (high)

• CPU ready time > 5%, 10%

• Memory usage > 90%, 95%

• Memory swap rate > 0Kbps (no moderate value)

Which type of VM is being described?

An administrator migrates a VM onto a new Nutanix cluster. After the migration, the administrator observes the following conditions:

• Cluster memory utilization: 64%

• Cluster CPU utilization: 19%

• Clusterstorage utilization: 32%

• Average VM CPU utilization: 25%

• Average VM CPU ready%: 24%

• Average VM memory utilization: 60%

Which two changes should the administrator make to improve VM performance? (Choose two.)

An administrator is configuring an All Flash cluster to support the following workloads:

• Full clone virtual desktops

• Hadoop

• Write heavy databases

Whichthree correct configuration options should the administrator use to meet the item requirements? (Choose three.)

For each procedure, indicate whether it is a correct or incorrect procedure that must be configured to meet the item requirements using the drop-down option.

A customer is running out of storage in an ESXi cluster. The customer wants to add storage without paying for an additional hypervisor license.

Which option should the consultant recommend to meet the requirement?

Refer to the exhibit.

An administrator configures ActiveDirectory authentication as shown in the exhibit. Upon finishing setup, users are not able to log in.

What configuration change should be made to fix this issue?

An administrator needs to relocate an AHV cluster to a new datacenter during a maintenance window. The cluster will use the same IPs in the new datacenter.

Which two steps should be taken to prepare forthis task? (Choose two.)

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

* Networking is set to default

* 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 customer needs to meet the following requirements for their business critical application:

* SQL Servers must be on specific hosts to lower licensing costs.

* Oracle RAC servers must be on separate hosts for licensing reasons

Which policy or policies should be implemented to meet these requirements?

An administrator of a Nutanix Enterprise Cloud has microsegmentation enabled and a firewall VM installed. The security team notifies the administrator that one of the VMs hosted in the environment has been exhibiting suspect network activity. The administrator wants to isolate the VM from the production network, but must still be able to access it to perform diagnostics.

What should the administrator do to meet the requirement?

An administrator receives an alert in Prism indicating that interface eth2, on an AHV host is receiving many CRC errors. Aftertogging into the problematic host, the following command is run to show the indicated output:

What is causing this issue?

An administrator needs to replace the self-signed certificate on a cluster. Which two requirements must be met as part of the process? (Choose two.)

During the Knowledge Transfer, the customer askes where to find the details about their Nutanix environment, such as IP addresses, storage containers, and configuration.

Where can the consultant find this information?

A customer with a four-node RF2 cluster is addingapplication VMs to their system. After adding these VMs, the Prism dashboard shows 81% storage utilization.

What is the consequence of running the cluster at 81% storage utilization?

For a new AHV cluster installation, a customer has 20 NX-8155-G6 nodes with quad port SFP NICs.

The customer wants to meet the following guidelines:

* Take advantage of all available 10GbE links

* Achieve maximum throughput per VM

* Use of redundant ToR switches

* Fastest reconvergence during link failure

How should the load balancing be configured on the host?

A customer wants to run SAP HANA on a Nutanix cluster with the following characteristics:

• AHV nodes

• SAP HANA version 2

• Production database files

Which configuration should be recommended to the customer?
