NCM-MCI-5.15 Online Practice Questions and Answers

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

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.

A guest VM is reported to have poor storage performance. It has an I/O profile of 80% read. 20% write, and the HDDs form more than 50% of the read source. What should an administrator do to resolve this issue?

A. Increase SSD capacity

B. Increase the OPLOG

C. Increase the write cache

D. Use HDDs with higher RPM

A three-node cluster has a Nutanix Files instance with three FSVMs. What happens after a node failure?

A. The affected FSVM will get live-migrated to another node.

B. The affected FSVM will not be restarted on another node due to its agent VM setting.

C. The affected FSVM will not be restarted on another node due to its VM-to-VM anti- affinity settings.

D. The affected FSVM will be restarted on another node.

An administrator has an existing Nutanix seven-node cluster running at RF2 that must be changed to have the following capabilities:

RF3 set for the cluster Performance tier deduplication What is the minimum memory needed on the CVMs to allow for these capabilities?

A. 24GB

B. 28GB

C. 32GB

D. 20G?

An administrator needs to replace an aging SAN and move to a hyper-converged infrastructure. The existing environment consists of the following hosts that are connected to the SAN:

5xAIX hosts 3x Hyper-V hosts 9xESXi hosts 2x physical SQL Clusters (Windows Server 2012R2 hosts)

After deploying a Nutanix AHV cluster, which two actions should the administrator take to meet the requirements? (Choose two.)

A. Deploy Volumes to support the AIX and SQL workloads.

B. Migrate the ESXI workloads to AHV using Move.

C. Deploy Files to support the AIX hosts.

D. Migrate the ESXi and Hyper-V workloads using Move.

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?

A. Disable the vNIC on the affected VM

B. Quarantine the VM using the Forensic Method

C. Create a firewall rule that blocks VM traffic but permits diagnostic access

D. Create a security policy with a service chain directing that VMs traffic to the firewall VM

Refer to the exhibit.

A Nutanix host is connected as shown in the exhibit with br0-up set to active/backup. Physical Switch 1 experiences a power outage causing br0-up to failover to using eth2. The CVM and host become inaccessible. User VMs restart on other hosts in the cluster, which causes a disruption to those VMs.

Which configuration issue likely caused this outage?

A. Bridge br0-up should be configured to use balance-tcp rather than active/backup.

B. The CVM should have eth1 connected to the OVS.

C. The upstream port for eth2 is missing a VLAN.

D. The user VMs only have one NIC

An administrator is migrating 5MB shares from a third-party platform to Nutanix Files with the following characteristics:

Shares contain user profile directories DFS-N will be used How should the administrator create target shares for this migration?

A. Create multiple general purpose shares and distribute migrated data as evenly as possible.

B. Create multiple distributed shares and distribute migrated data as evenly as possible.

C. Create standard shares with multiple top-level directories and distribute migrated data.

D. Create distributed shares with multiple top-level directories and distribute migrated data.

An administrator has a VM that consumes large amounts of storage and has the following characteristics:

Create large / sequential writes

Data must be kept for years

Data is normally only accessed at the end of the year to run report

The administrator decides to use Erasure Coding to save space.

Which feature should the administrator utilize to save space for this VM?

A. Inline Compression

B. Flash Mode

C. Cache Dedup

D. Post-Process Compression
