NCM-5.15 Online Practice Questions and Answers

In a Nutanix cluster, a Protection Domain contains 50 entities that are replicated to a remote Single Node Replication Target. The current schedule configuration is as follows: Repeat every 6 hours Local Retention Policy 1 Remote Retention Policy 8 Starting time 12 am

At 8 am on Monday, the administrator discovers that a protected VM is corrupted. The latest good state was Sunday 2 pm. The administrator needs to maintain current protection.

Which strategy should the administrator use to meet these requirements?

A. From the Remote site, activate the Protection Domain, then re-protect the entity.

B. From the Remote site, restore the VM from the local snapshot by selecting the correct snapshot.

C. From the local site, retrieve the correct remote snapshot, then restore the VM locally.

D. From the local site, restore the VM from the local snapshot by selecting the correct snapshot.

An administrator is supporting a business critical environment and deploys metro availability to achieve a zero data loss configuration. The two clusters are connected by a 1GbE connection. A new workload is going to be deployed to this cluster. This workload requires a sustained 150MB/s of write throughput and 20MB/s of read throughput.

Which change must be made to deploy the workload successfully on this cluster?

A. The bandwidth must be increased to support this workload.

B. The workload must be configured to read at greater than 12.5MB/s.

C. The replication frequency must be less than 60 minutes.

D. Zero data loss nearsync must be used to support this workload.

A customer with a four-node RF2 cluster is adding application 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?

A. The customer has the ability to add more VMs up to the 100% storage utilization.

B. There is available capacity in the storage fabric and the cluster is resilient.

C. Node failure is imminent due to storage utilization.

D. The cluster is not resilient in the storage fabric

An administrator has two clusters: Site A and Site B. Async DR is configured between the clusters as follows: Site A is the Primary Site Site B is the Secondary inactive Site, no VMs running Site A is fully in Production Site B used as Backup/Disaster Recovery

The customer wants to perform a planned failover between the sites. How should the administrator accomplish this?

A. Click Activate on the Secondary site within the Data Protection Dashboard

B. Click Activate on the Secondary site and run deactive NCLI command on Primary site

C. Choose Migrate on the Secondary site within the Data Protection Dashboard

D. Choose Migrate on the Primary site within the Data Protection Dashboard

A customer needs a DR solution designed around the following requirements: There are 8 ms of latency between Sites A and B The administrator needs the shortest RPO/RTO possible Application consistent snapshots are required Use of Nutanix VSS

Which Data Protection Method should be used?

A. Async

B. Metro Availability

C. Near Sync

D. Cloud Connect

An administrator receives reports that VDI desktop performance in an 8-node Nutanix VDI environment is poor. Opening applications takes between 1 and 2 minutes. When investigating the issue, the following conditions are found:

Cluster memory utilization: 80%

Cluster SSD utilization: 70%

Average VM CPU Wait Time: 11%

CVM CPU utilization: 75%

Which action should be taken to improve VDI performance?

A. Increase the amount of SSD storage in the cluster.

B. Add memory to the nodes in the cluster.

C. Add CPU resources to the cluster.

D. Increase the number of vCPU cores allocated to the CVM.

An administrator needs to evaluate if the existing configuration of Protection Domains meets the specified corporate recovery policy for SQL Data. The corporate policy requires that all SQL Servers be recoverable at the DR site within 30 minutes, and must result in a maximum of 60 minutes of data loss. SQL data must be required.

The protection domain is configured as follows: Application consistent snapshots are enabled The SQL server VMs are assigned to the Protection Domain as their own Consistency Group The Protection Domain schedule is configured as snapshots taken every 90 minutes from 7 am until 8 pm

What must be changed to meet the required policy?

A. Revise the schedule to be 15 minutes

B. Revise the schedule to be 60 minutes

C. Revise the schedule to be 30 minutes

D. Revise the schedule to be 45 minutes

An administrator protected a DB VM running on a Nutanix cluster with NearSync Replication, which schedules to repeat every 15 minutes to a second site. The daily change rate is low. During nightly backups, the replication window is missed due to write volume. Which two options describe the expected behavior? (Choose two.)

A. NearSync stops working and fails over to the remote site.

B. Protection Domain transitions back to the hourly schedule.

C. The Administrator needs to re-enable it manually.

D. The system continuously tries to get to the NearSync schedule.

An administrator is configuring software only. Data-at-Rest Encryption on their Nutanix cluster. They are planning to deploy a third-party key management server (KMS). Where should this server be hosted?

A. As a single VM on the Nutanix cluster

B. On hardware external to the Nutanix duster

C. As a clustered VM setup on the Nutanix cluster

D. As a single VM deployed on the host that contains the Prism leader CVM

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:

All AHV hosts are powered on and the CVMs are running

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

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

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.

C. The genesis process is down on both Nodes D and E.

D. Nodes D and E are in maintenance mode.
