NEW QUESTION # 74
Which data savings technique utilizes stripes and parity calculation in a Nutanix cluster?

• A. Erasure coding
• B. Deduplication
• C. Parity strip
• D. Compression

Answer: A

Explanation:
According to the Nutanix Support & Insights web search result1, erasure coding is a data savings technique that utilizes stripes and parity calculation in a Nutanix cluster. Erasure coding increases the usable capacity on a cluster by reducing the replication factor of data blocks. Instead of replicating data, erasure coding uses parity information to rebuild data in the event of a disk or node failure. Erasure coding can save up to 50% of storage space compared to replication factor 2, and up to 75% compared to replication factor 32.

NEW QUESTION # 75
Which baseline is used to identify a Zombie VM?

• A. Memory usage is less than 1% and memory swap rate is equal to 0 Kbps for the past 21 days.
  VM has no logins for the past 21 days
• B. VM has no logins for the past 21 days
• C. VM is powered off for the past 21 days.
• D. Fewer than 30 1/Os and less than 1000 bytes per day of network traffic for the past 21 days

Answer: D

Explanation:
The correct answer is D. Fewer than 30 I/Os and less than 1000 bytes per day of network traffic for the past 21 days.
A zombie VM is a type of inactive VM that is powered on but does very little activity. A zombie VM wastes host resources such as CPU, memory, disk, and network that could be used by other VMs. A zombie VM can be identified by using the VM Profile feature in Prism Central. The VM Profile feature analyzes the resource utilization of each VM and assigns it a profile based on its efficiency and impact on other VMs.The profiles are as follows1:
* Efficient: The VM is well-provisioned and has optimal resource utilization.
* Over-provisioned: The VM has more resources than it needs and has low resource utilization.
* Constrained: The VM has less resources than it needs and has high resource utilization.
* Inactive: The VM has no resource utilization and is idle or powered off.
* Bully: The VM has high resource utilization and causes contention for other VMs.
A zombie VM is a subtype of an inactive VM that meets the following criteria2:
* The VM is powered on for the past 21 days.
* The VM does fewer than 30 read or write I/Os (total) per day for the past 21 days.
* The VM receives or transfers fewer than 1000 bytes per day of network traffic for the past 21 days.
To identify a zombie VM, the administrator can use Prism Central to view the VM Profile dashboard and filter by profile type. The dashboard shows the number of VMs in each profile type, as well as their resource consumption and efficiency score. The administrator can also drill down into each VM to see its detailed metrics and recommendations for optimization.

NEW QUESTION # 77
Refer to exhibit:

Why has an anomaly been triggered?

• A. Normal Controller behavior has increased.
• B. Observed values do not match predicted values.
• C. Observed IOPS exceed normal values.
• D. Controller reached 2500 IOPS.

Answer: B

Explanation:
Nutanix anomaly detection is a feature that monitors seasonal trends for time-series data (e.g. CPU usage, memory usage, latency, etc.) and establishes a "band" of expected values based on historical data12. Only values that hit outside the "band" will trigger an event / alert1.
Nutanix leverages a method for determining the bands called 'Generalized Extreme Studentized Deviate Test'.
A simple way to think about this is similar to a confidence interval where the values are between the lower and upper limits established by the algorithm.
Another web source3 shows an example of how anomaly detection works in Nutanix Prism Central. In the video, you can see that when the observed value of a metric deviates significantly from the predicted value based on historical data, an anomaly event is triggered and displayed on a chart.
Therefore, by comparing the observed values with the predicted values based on historical data, Nutanix anomaly detection can identify abnormal behavior and alert you accordingly.

NEW QUESTION # 78
The administrator wants a container to be displayed and limited to 1TB in the hypervisor.
What advanced container setting must the administrator set?

• A. Reserved Quota
• B. Advertised Quota
• C. Advertised Capacity
• D. Reserved Capacity

Answer: C

Explanation:
According to the Nutanix Support & Insights web search result3, advertised capacity is an advanced container setting that allows the administrator to reserve an advertised storage space for a storage container. An advertised capacity setting gives the hypervisor a maximum storage size that the storage container can use.
This setting can be any arbitrary value greater than or equal to the resiliency required. The hypervisor ensures that the storage container storage doesn't go beyond the advertised capacity. If the administrator wants a container to be displayed and limited to 1TB in the hypervisor, they should set the advertised capacity to 1TB.

NEW QUESTION # 79
A user running a Computer Aided Design (CAD) application is complaining about slow response time within the VM, particular when moving windows or rendering images.
Which VM metric will guide the administrator toward diagnosing the problem?

• A. Hypervisor Memory Usage (%)
• B. GPU Usage
• C. Storage Controller Latency
• D. Swap in Rate

Answer: B

NEW QUESTION # 80
Which algorithm do snapshots and clones leverage to maximize efficiency and effectiveness?

• A. Continuous Data Protection
• B. Copy-on-Write
• C. Split-mirror
• D. Redirect-On-Write

Answer: B

Explanation:
According to the Dell Unity: Data Reduction Technical White Paper1, snapshots and clones on Dell Unity use the Copy-on-Write (CoW) algorithm to maximize efficiency and effectiveness. CoW is a technique that defers the copying of data until it is modified. This means that snapshots and clones only consume space when changes are made to the source or the clone, respectively. CoW also preserves the original data in case of a rollback or recovery operation.

NEW QUESTION # 82
An administrator is preparing to deploy a new application on an AHV cluster, Security requirements dictate that all virtual servers supporting this application must be prevented from communicating with unauthorized hosts.
Which option would achieve this goal?

• A. Create a new solation Environment policy apply it to the new servers and all authorized hosts.
• B. Create a new VLAN, create a subnet on the cluster with the VLAN tag, deploy servers with vNlCs in the new subnet.
• C. Create a new Application Security Policy restricting communication to the authorized hosts and apply it to the servers in enforce mode.
• D. Create new' subnet and assign to an existing VPC assign the IP prefix and gateway for the subnet, deploy servers with vNlC5 in the new subnet.

Answer: C

Explanation:
An Application Security Policy is a security feature in Nutanix AHV that can be used to restrict network communication between virtual servers based on a variety of criteria, such as IP address, port, and protocol. By creating a policy that restricts communication to authorized hosts and applying it to the servers in enforce mode, the administrator can prevent unauthorized communication between virtual servers.

NEW QUESTION # 84
A recently configured cluster is leveraging NearSync with a recovery schedule of 15 minutes. It is noticed that the cluster is consistently transitioning in an Out of NearSyne.
What action should be taken to potentially address this issue?

• A. Add a vCPUs to the user VMs.
• B. Configure a secondary schedule in the same Protection Domain.
• C. Increase network bandwidth
• D. Change the NearSync schedule to 30 minutes.

Answer: C

Explanation:
One of the possible reasons for a cluster to transition out of NearSync is insufficient network bandwidth between the source and target clusters. NearSync requires a minimum network bandwidth of 10 Mbps per VM for replication3. If the network bandwidth is lower than the required amount, the replication of recovery points may take longer than the configured RPO, resulting in an Out of NearSync condition. To address this issue, you can increase the network bandwidth between the clusters or reduce the number of VMs protected by NearSync4.

NEW QUESTION # 85
Refer to Exhibit:

NEW QUESTION # 86
While installing Windows 2019 on a new VM on an AHV cluster, an administrator notices there aren't any drives listed for the install.
What might the problem be?

• A. VirtIO drivers aren't supported on this version of Windows 2019.
• B. VirtIO drivers have not yet been installed and the disks are SCSI disks.
• C. VirtIO drivers have not yet been installed and the disks are IDE disks.
• D. VirtIO drivers must be installed on AHV for installations of Windows.

Answer: B

Explanation:
VirtIO drivers are device drivers that are specifically designed for virtualized environments. They allow the guest operating system to communicate directly with the underlying hardware, bypassing the emulation layer. This improves the performance and efficiency of the virtual machines. VirtIO drivers are supported by various hypervisors, including Nutanix AHV1.
Nutanix AHV uses SCSI disks for VMs by default. However, Windows does not have native support for SCSI disks and requires VirtIO drivers to recognize them. Therefore, if an administrator is installing Windows 2019 on a new VM on an AHV cluster, they need to install the VirtIO drivers before selecting the destination disk for the installation. Otherwise, they will not see any drives listed for the install2.
To install the VirtIO drivers during Windows installation, the administrator can use one of the following methods3:
Use a VirtIO ISO image that contains the driver files. The administrator can download the VirtIO ISO image from the Nutanix support portal and upload it to the AHV image service. Then, they can attach the VirtIO ISO image to the VM as a CD-ROM device and load the driver from it during Windows installation.
Use a Nutanix Guest Tools (NGT) ISO image that contains the driver files and other tools. The administrator can download the NGT ISO image from Prism Element or Prism Central and attach it to the VM as a CD-ROM device. Then, they can load the driver from it during Windows installation.
Use a floppy disk image that contains only the driver files. The administrator can create a floppy disk image using tools such as WinImage or WinRAR and upload it to the AHV image service. Then, they can attach the floppy disk image to the VM as a floppy device and load the driver from it during Windows installation.

NEW QUESTION # 87
Which Nutanix service control ncli, the HTML5 UI, and Rest API?

• A. Prism
• B. Zookeeper
• C. Cassandra
• D. Chronos

Answer: A

Explanation:
Prism is the central service control used by Nutanix to manage the clusters. It provides a unified view of the entire system, and it is used to control the HTML5 UI, the nCLI, and the REST API. Prism is used to manage the resources of the system, such as the nodes, storage, and networks, as well as to monitor the performance of the system and the applications running on it.
https://www.nutanixbible.com/2f-book-of-basics-cluster-components.html
PrismKey Role: UI and API
Prism is the management gateway for components and administrators to configure and monitor the Nutanix cluster. This includes Ncli, the HTML5 UI, and REST API.
Prism runs on every node in the cluster and uses an elected leader like all components in the cluster. All requests are forwarded to the leader using Linux Iptables. This allows access to PRISM using any CVM Ip address.
Prism communicates with Zeus for cluster configuration data and Cassandra for statistics to present to the user. It also communicates with the ESXi hosts for VM status and related information These are only some of the essential services that make up the CVM functionality. For more information on all the services and various Nutanix Cluster components, refer to the portal documentation.

NEW QUESTION # 88
In the event of a disk failure, which process will immediately ad automatically scans Cassandra to find all data previously hosted on the failed disk, and all disks in that node?

• A. Prism
• B. Curator
• C. Genesis
• D. Stargate

Answer: B

Explanation:
Curator is the process that runs on every node in a Nutanix cluster and is responsible for data management tasks such as deduplication, compression, erasure coding, and replication factor compliance. Curator also handles disk failure recovery by scanning Cassandra to find all data previously hosted on the failed disk, and all disks in that node. Curator then rebuilds the data on other nodes in the cluster using the distributed storage fabric1.

NEW QUESTION # 89
An administrator is concerned about the amount of data that a VM reading and writing to the storage fabric.
Which metric will provide that data?

• A. VM Storage Controller Bandwidth

NEW QUESTION # 91
After the initial configuration and upgrade of NCC, the administrator notices these critical alerts:
* IPMI 10.7.133.33 is using default password
* Host 10.7.133.25 is using default password
* CVM 10.7.133.31 is using default password
Which two initial cluster configuration tasks were missed during the deployment process? (Choose two.)

• A. BIOS password changes
• B. Password policy changes
• C. Host password changes
• D. CVM password changes

Answer: C,D

Explanation:
The critical alerts listed are indicating that the default passwords are still in use for IPMI, the host, and the Controller Virtual Machine (CVM). This suggests that the passwords for these components were not changed from the default during the initial cluster configuration and deployment process, which is a critical security practice.
A). CVM password changes: The alert for the CVM using the default password indicates that the CVM password has not been changed. It is a standard security measure to change default passwords to prevent unauthorized access.
C). Host password changes: Similarly, the alert for the host using the default password indicates that the default password for the host has not been updated. This applies to the passwords used to access the hypervisor host directly.
Changing default passwords is a critical step in securing the Nutanix environment. This is highlighted in Nutanix's best practices and security guidelines, which recommend changing default passwords as part of the initial configuration to ensure that the environment is not left vulnerable to unauthorized access due to known default credentials. This process is typically part of the initial setup procedures outlined in the Nutanix documentation for cluster deployment and security configuration.
The IPMI alert also points to the need for changing default passwords, but since IPMI (Intelligent Platform Management Interface) is not specifically mentioned in the provided options, it falls under the broader category of host-level password changes, which would be covered by option C.
BIOS password changes (Option B) and Password policy changes (Option D) are also important but were not directly flagged by the alerts mentioned. BIOS password changes are usually a separate task and not indicated by the alerts given, while password policy changes are related to the policies governing password complexity and rotation rather than the initial password setup.

NEW QUESTION # 92
Upon logging into Prism Central, an administrator notices high cluster latency.
How can the administrator analyze data with the least number of steps or actions?

• A. Click on the chart in the widget to expand the data elements.
• B. Take note of the duster name and create a new Analysis chart.
• C. Click the cluster name in the cluster quick access widget.
• D. Modify Data Density in the main Prism Central dashboard.

Answer: A

NEW QUESTION # 93
An administrator logs in to Prism Element goes to the Network view, and sees the output shown in the exhibit.

Which three steps must the administrator take to increase throughput to the host? (Choose three.)

• A. Change the VLAN ID to a higher priority ID.
• B. Remove any 1Gb interfaces still connected from the default bond.
• C. Connect the 10Gb interfaces to the physical switch.
• D. Add a new switch to the network and connect 1Gb interfaces to it.
• E. Change the bond mode to balance-slb or balance-tcp.

Answer: B,C,E

Explanation:
These are the three steps that the administrator must take to increase throughput to the host. According to the network diagram, the host has two 10Gb interfaces and two 1Gb interfaces in the default bond, but only one of the 10Gb interfaces is connected to a switch. The other 10Gb interface is disconnected and has a red "X" on it.
The two 1Gb interfaces are also disconnected and have dotted lines. This means that the host is using only one
10Gb interface for all its network traffic, which limits its maximum bandwidth to 10 Gbps.
To increase the throughput, the administrator should connect both 10Gb interfaces to the physical switch, preferably to different switches for redundancy and high availability. This will allow the host to use both 10Gb interfaces for network traffic, which can increase its maximum bandwidth to 20 Gbps. However, this also requires changing the bond mode from active-backup to balance-slb or balance-tcp, which are load balancing modes that distribute network traffic across multiple interfaces based on source MACaddress or TCP session1. The default bond mode of active-backup only uses one interface at a time and switches to another interface only when the active one fails2.
Finally, the administrator should remove any 1Gb interfaces still connected from the default bond, as they are not needed and may cause performance issues or conflicts with the load balancing modes. The 1Gb interfaces can be used for other purposes, such as management or backup networks, by creating separate bonds or bridges for them3. Alternatively, they can be left disconnected if they are not required.

NEW QUESTION # 94

Several VMs have been created, and the administrator notices that the can successfully communicate with other VMs on that VLAN.
Provided they are on the host, but cannot communicate with VMs that reside on different hosts in the cluster.
What is most likely thee cause of this issue?

• A. The administrator did not create the VLAN on all hosts
• B. The VLAN was not created on the upstream switches.
• C. There is a firewall rule blockingVLAN512 traffic.
• D. VLANS12 is a reserved VLAN ID, and not usable for guest VMs.

Answer: B
