Question1: 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?

Question2: A VDI environment based on AHV Cluster is not performing well. The current environment is using only one bridge (Bridge0). The administrator needs to verify if nodes are using all network cards associated to Bridge0.
Which two menus should be used to check the current configuration? (Choose two.)

Question3: 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 can accommodate the new VMs? (Choose two.)

What is causing this problem?

Question5: 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:

* One 50GB vDisk for the Windows installation
* One 2TB vDisk for the application
What is the recommended configuration change to improve throughput?

Question7: An administrator needs to create and start five new VMs for a Data Analytics Project (OLAP). The VM Profile is as follows:
* vCPU:4
* vRAM: 64 GB
* vDisk: 1.5 TB
Each of the four nodes of the Nutanix cluster has the following:
* 24 vCPU. 20% overall usage
* 192 GB RAM, 60% overall usage
* 2xl920GBSSD
* 4x 2 TB HDD
At cluster level, there is a single RF2 container that is 30% utilized and has an extent store capacity of 13.5 TB.
Which component requires administrator attention?

Question8: An organizations Nutanix Cluster is based on VMware vSphere. The cluster is configured to download software updates automatically. The administration needs to verify and eventually upgrade VMware hypervisor via Prism Ul.
After logging in to Prism, the administrator receives the message shown:
No available versions for upgrade
What is causing the current state?

Question9: An administrator is deploying Nutanix Files 3.5 and needs to configure the sizing of the FSVMs for an increased number of concurrent SMB connections over the default 750.
What should the administrator do?

Question10: An administrator needs to make sure an RF3 cluster can survive a failure of two complete racks without negatively affecting performance. The current cluster configuration consists of the following:
* 30 All Flash Nodes: distributed 10 nodes per rack across three 42U racks
* Each node is configured with 20TB usable storage all flash (Cluster Total 600TB Usable)
* Current cluster utilization is 500TB storage
* Storage containers have Erasure Coding enabled
Which configuration changes should be made to make sure the cluster meets the requirements?

Question11: An alert about RX errors on eth2 on a node is reported in the cluster. The administrator logs in to the CVM in question, checks the ping_* files in the data/logs/syststats folder, and notices intermittent ping loss.
The node in question has the following network configuration:

Which action should be used to troubleshoot without disrupting the VMs running on this node?

Question12: After the migration, some SQL queries take longer to execute than prior to migration.
The following SQL best practices were applied while creating the SQL VM on Nutanix:
* 8 vDisks per SQL server VM
* Database and Log files on separate vDisk
* 2 TempDB database drives and 1 TempDB log drive
What should the administrator to do improve the SQL Server performance?

Question13: An administrator is deploying a new application to a Nutanix Enterprise Cloud. The application requires a security to prevent unauthorized access. The application also uses many non-standard ports that are unique to it. Security should not be changed for existing applications.
What should the administrator do to meet these requirement?

Question14: An administrator is planning to deploy a Nutanix cluster to support a few high-performance VMs. This deployment will have the following considerations:
* Individual VMs will likely generate network throughputs in the range of 90-100Mbps
* Due to the configuration of the VMs, it is unlikely that a node will host more than one or two of them at a time
* Individual VMs will communicate with only a few (one or two) remote hosts at a time
* Multicast will not be used in the environment
* The hosts are connected via two 1GbE network connections
How should the administrator configure the network bonds to meet this requirement while maintaining the simplest switch configuration?

Question15: An administrator is performing a set of routine checks and notes that Prism Central is running with 4 vCPUs and 21 GB RAM. The organizations environment is based on two Nutanix clusters with 170 VMs plus a Legacy vSphere infrastructure. No manual changes have been done on Prism Central VM.
Which configuration justifies the current Prism Central configuration?

Question16: An administrator is using Nutanix Move to migrate a Windows 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 the administrator do to continue with the migration with Nutanix Move?

Question17: Refer to the exhibit.

A Microsoft SQL 2016 deployment is shown in the exhibit. The administrator receives user reports that database queries take too long to return.
Which optimization should be made to this configuration to improve performance?

Question18: 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?

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

Question23: 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?

Question24: Microsegmentation was recently enabled in a Nutanix environment. The administrator wants to leverage Prism Central to create a policy that will block all traffic, regardless of direction, between two groups of VMs identified by their category.
Which policy should be used to meet this requirement?

Question25: An administrator needs to expand a cluster based on AHV and running on Nutanix G5 hardware with a new Nutanix G7 system. The cluster is running AOS 5.10 but the operation fails when expanding the cluster. AOS is running on the new system. There are no issues discovering the node.
Why is the operation failing?

Question26: An administrator is managing multiple Windows and Linux VMs connected to Nutanix Volumes. The Linux VMs are experiencing intermittent connectivity issues. The Windows VMs do not experience the same issue.
Which option should the administrator use to resolve this issue?

Question27: 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.)

Question29: 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?
