NCM-MCI Online Practice Questions and Answers

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 finds that home shares cannot be configured in a new Files 3.5 deployment. Why is this happening?

A. NFS default access is set to Read Only.

B. Multi-protocol access is not configured.

C. Access Based Enumeration is not enabled.

D. The system is deployed as a single FSVM.

Refer to the exhibits.

An administrator has reported that a new VM is not performing well.

After analyzing the information presented in the exhibits, which option shows the best conclusion regarding this workload?

A. VM is CPU constrained since the hypervisor cannot provide the required resources.

B. VM is CPU constrained because more CPU needs to be added to the VM.

C. VM is Storage constrained, because the workload is waiting for storage access.

D. VM is not CPU constrained, because the VM is not running, a multithreaded application.

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 needs to replace the self-signed certificate on a cluster. Which two requirements must be met as part of the process? (Choose two.)

A. The cluster administrator must restart the interface gateway.

B. The signed, intermediate and root certificates are chained.

An administrator receives an error indicating that the CVMs in the cluster are not syncing to any NTP servers. An investigation of the issue finds:

1.

The NTP servers are configured in Prism

2.

The time on all CVMs is the same

3.

Both the CVMs and AHV hosts are configured for the UTC time zone Which two steps can be taken to troubleshoot this issue? (Choose two.)

A. Confirm that the NTP servers are reachable from the CVMs.

B. Restart genesis on all CVMs.

C. On a CVM. run the command a Hash ntpq-pn.

D. Restart the chronos service on all CVMs.

An administrator needs to initiate a new VDI project within a couple of months. Prism Central reports there are no storage resources to accommodate such workloads.

The administrator sees many powered-off VMs and has the authority to delete test VMs powered off at least for 30 days. Test VMs belong to the Test category.

Using Prism Central, which steps are required to identify the correct VMs to be deleted?

A. Use Capacity Runway to filter by Test and Powered-off VMs

B. Filter VMs list, choose Test category and Inactive under Efficiency

C. Create a new Scenario selecting Test VMs. filter by uptime

D. Create a new Project selecting Test VMs, sorting by power state

A customer has a Nutanix cluster with 10Gb connectivity via switch fabric extenders. The administrator receives NCC health check errors of latency greater than 200ms. Which action should the administrator take to resolve the NCC errors?

A. Replace the switch fabric extenders with 10G line rate switches

B. Upgrade NCC and increase the CVM memory by 4Gb

C. Add 2 additional 10G uplinks from the switch fabric extenders per node

D. Upgrade NCC and increase the vCPU of 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:

1.

Application consistent snapshots are enabled

2.

The SQL server VMs are assigned to the Protection Domain as their own Consistency Group

3.

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 tc 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 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.
