An administrator needs to deploy an application with a large amount of data connected via Nutanix Volumes.
Which two actions should the administrator take when designing the Volume Group? (Choose two.)

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?

An administrator has two clusters: Site A and Site B.
Async DR is configured between the clusters as follows:
✑ Site A is the Primary Site
✑ Site B is the Secondary inactive Site, no VMs running
✑ Site A is fully in Production
✑ Site B used as Backup/Disaster Recovery
The customer wants to perform a planned failover between the sites. How should the administrator accomplish this?

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?

Refer to the exhibit.

User 1 and User 2 belong to the AAPM group.
What are two descriptions of how Files perform quota management? (Choose two.)

A Nutanix cluster is deployed with the following configuration:
✑ Three four-node blocks (A, B, and C)
✑ All Flash Redundancy Factor 2
What is the effect of simultaneous disk failures on two nodes located in block A?

An administrator configures authentication in Prism Central (PC) for the NTNX-Admins group. Users report that they are unable to log in. The administrator confirms that the Active Directory (AD) settings in PC are correct. Which condition could result in this behavior?

An administrator is monitoring the Nutanix v5.15-based AOS cluster performance logs and notices that a SQL server VM is greatly exceeding its intended maximum IOPS. The administrator has confirmed that a QoS policy was previously created for the group of VMs this server is a member of.
What are two reasons that this VM would exceed its maximum configured IOPS from the QoS Policy? (Choose two.)

An administrator needs to migrate workloads from a Nutanix cluster running VMware ESXi to Nutanix AHV. The migration process needs to be completed in multiple VM groups and support roll back in case any problems are found during user acceptance testing.
Which action should the administrator perform?

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?

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:
✑ The NTP servers are configured in Prism
✑ The time on all CVMs is the same
✑ 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.)

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?

An administrator receives reports about a Nutanix environment. The investigation finds the following;
✑ VMs are experiencing very high latency
✑ Each node is equipped with a single SSD, utilized at 95%
✑ Each node is equipped with three HDDs, utilized at 40%
Why are the guest VMs experiencing high latency?

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?

An administrator is deploying an application using Nutanix Volumes. After configuring the volume group and connecting the guest's iSCSI initiator to the volume group, they begin performance testing. The administrator learns that performance on the virtual disk attached to the iSCSI initiator is far less than that of a virtual disk connected directly to the VM.
Which situation is causing this condition?

An administrator is responsible for the following Nutanix Enterprise Cloud environment:
A central datacenter with a 20-node cluster with 1.5PB of storage

✑ Five remote sites each with a 4-node cluster with 200TB storage
The remote sites are connected to the datacenter via 1GB links with an average latency of 6 ms RTT.
What is the minimum RPO the administrator can achieve for this environment?

An administrator has a custom backup application that requires a 2TB disk and runs in Windows. Throughput is considerably lower than expected. The application was installed on a VM with the following configuration:

• Four vCPUs with one core/vCPU
• 4GB of Memory
• One 50GB vDisk for the Windows installation
• One 2TB vDisk for the application
  What is the recommended configuration change to improve throughput?

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 company needs to replicate their VMs to a remote site and must have an RPO of less than 1 hour.
When creating a protection domain, what should an administrator do to meet this requirement?

An administrator needs to make sure an RF2 cluster can survive a complete rack failure without negatively effecting workload performance. The current cluster configuration consists of the following:
✑ 30 nodes: distributed 10 nodes per rack across three 42U rack
✑ Each nodes is configured with 40TB usable storage all flash (Cluster Total 1.2 PB Usable)
✑ Current cluster utilization is 900TB storage
Which configuration changes should be made to make sure that the cluster meets the requirements?

A customer wants to run SAP HANA on a Nutanix cluster with the following characteristics:
✑ AHV nodes
✑ SAP HANA version 2
✑ Production database files
Which configuration should be recommended to the customer?

A customer needs a DR solution designed around the following requirements:
✑ There are 8 ms of latency between Sites A and B
✑ The administrator needs the shortest RPO/RTO possible
✑ Application consistent snapshots are required
✑ Use of Nutanix VSS
Which Data Protection Method should be used?

An administrator receives an alert in Prism indicating that interface eth2, on an AHV host is receiving many CRC errors. After togging into the problematic host, the following command is run to show the indicated output:

What is causing this issue?

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?
