NCM-5.15 Online Practice Questions and Answers

A customer recently set up Async Replication between Site A and Site B. The customer wants to conduct a planned failover and clicks Activate on Site B. The customer then runs the following command on Site A: ncli pd

deactivate_and__destroy_vms name=.

What does this do to the customer environment?

A. VMs get deleted from Site B and the protection domain is now Active.

B. VMs are powered off on Site A and must be manually powered on at Site B.

C. VMs get deleted from Site A and the protection domain is no longer active.

D. Customer must then manually power off VMs at Site A and power them on at Site B.

An administrator manages the following two Nutanix AOS 5.15 cluster environment: Corp-cluster-01 Corp-cluster-02

The VM images must be available only on Corp-cluster-01, but cannot be checked out to cluster Corp-cluster-02. The images also cannot be checked out to any other clusters that are registered with Prism Central in the future.

Which two configuration settings must the administrator choose when creating the image placement policy that satisfies the stated requirements? (Choose two.)

A. Create an image placement policy that identifies cluster Corp-cluster-01 as the target cluster

B. Set the policy enforcement to Soft.

C. Set the policy enforcement to Hard.

D. Create an image placement policy that identifies cluster Corp-cluster-02 as the target cluster.

An administrator learns that some security settings in a cluster have been changed. The environment is out of compliance with required policies.

Which function should be used to revert any settings that have changed from the defaults and prevent further violations?

A. Cluster Lockdown with strong password enforcement

B. Advanced Intrusion Detection Environment (AIDE)

C. Security Configuration Management Automation (SCMA)

D. Defense Information Systems Agency STIG enforcement

A systems administrator needs to add more VMs to their Nutanix cluster. Which two actions should the administrator perform to determine if the current cluster could accommodate the new VMs? (Choose two.)

A. Perform an Inventory with Life Cycle Management.

B. Determine utilization with Cluster Runway.

C. Enable Deduplication and Erasure Coding.

D. Utilize Optimize Resources for VM efficiency.

An administrator responsible for a VDI environment needs to investigate reports of slow logins. The administrator finds that increasing the number of vCPUs from 2 to 4 will reduce the login times. Production workloads are consuming 75% of the host CPU on the cluster. The administrator increases the vCPU count on all of the VDI VMs.

What are two impacts on the cluster? (Choose two.)

A. Increase CPU utilization %

B. Increase CPU ready %

C. Increase memory utilization %

D. Increasing CPU counts will decrease memory utilization

An administrator is deploying several new application VMs to a Nutanix cluster. The application is very transactional with a 28/72 random, read/write ratio. What should the administrator do?

A. Add a minimum of four SSDs to each node to ensure all writes go to the SSDs.

B. Add a minimum of four virtual disks to each VM, and aggregate them on guest OS level.

C. Add one large SSD to each node and enable Flash Mode for the VMs.

D. Add one large virtual disk to each VM and use it for all application data.

An administrator is deploying an application that requires maximum I/O throughput for scratch data. The administrator is concerned that the throughput requirement is greater than what can be provided by a single cluster node. What should the administrator do to meet this requirement?

A. Create a volume group with several virtual disks and attach to the VM

B. Create a volume group with one virtual disk attached to the VM

C. Create a virtual disk attached to the VM's PCI interface

D. Create several virtual disks attached to the VM's virtual SCSI controller

Refer to the exhibit.

What is the purpose of eth2 on the CVMs?

A. RDMA Network Segmentation

B. iSCSI connectivity

C. Remote site connectivity

D. Network Segmentation

An administrator is implementing a VDI solution. The workload will be a series of persistent desktops in a dedicated storage container within a four-node cluster. Storage optimizations should be set on the dedicated storage container to give optimal performance including during a node failure event.

Which storage optimizations should the administrator set to meet the requirements?

A. Compression, Deduplication, and Erasure Coding

B. Deduplication and Erasure Coding

C. Compression and Deduplication

D. Compression only

An administrator is updating disk firmware using LCM and receives the following message:

"There have been 10 or more cluster services restarts within 15 minutes in the Controller VM."

The message appears as each drive is upgraded.

What is the reason this message is being generated?

A. A node has been rebalanced

B. A drive has been reformatted

C. A node has been rebooted

D. A drive has been rejected
