An administrator must expand an AHV-based cluster running on Nutanix G5 hardware by adding a new Nutanix G7 system. The cluster runs AOS 5.10, but the cluster-expansion operation fails. AOS is running on the new system, and node discovery succeeds without issues.
Why does the operation fail?
AAOS version running on G7 is older than the version on the cluster.
BFoundation software has not been updated on the cluster.
CG7 hardware cannot be added to a G5 cluster.
DEVC needs to be configured before cluster expansion

Which two steps must be completed to update the firmware?
Choose two
AConfigure LCM with a URL to access the firmware bundle.
BDownload a dark site bundle and stage it on an internal webserver.
CDownload the updated firmware .tgz file from the Nutanix portal.
DSelect Upgrade Software, then select disks and upload the updated firmware.
A CEO asks the IT administrator for a list of resources required to protect the current workloads and the two new SQL servers from a disaster. The Nutanix environment is managed through Prism Central.
Which option describes how to fulfill the CEO’s request?
ACreate a new Recovery policy by selecting the VM that needs to be protected and get hardware requirements.
BIn Capacity Runway, select Optimize Resources and select all VMs that must be protected.
CCreate a new project and assign the VMs to it to get compute and storage requirements.
DCreate a new scenario based on a new cluster based on a VM Profile and select Recommend.
An administrator plans to deploy a Nutanix cluster to support a small number of high-performance VMs. The deployment has these considerations:
Individual VMs will probably generate network throughput of 90–100 Mbps.
Because of the VM configuration, a node is unlikely to 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 through two 1GbE network connections.
How should the administrator configure the network bonds to satisfy this requirement while keeping the switch configuration as simple as possible?
AConfigure bond0 as balance-sib
BConfigure bond0 as active-backup
CConfigure bond0 as balance-tcp
DConfigure bond0 as balance-lacp
A customer requires a DR solution that meets the following requirements:

AAsync
BMetro Availability
CNear Sync
DCloud Connect
Refer to the exhibit.
An administrator observes a critical alert on the Metro Availability Protection Domain.
What is the cause of this alert?
AVMware Site Recovery Manager is handling a failover event.
BvSphere moved VMs to the remote container, and the VMs must be moved back.
CMetro Availability did not fail over and caused an outage.
DMetro Availability Protection domain is active on the remote site.
An administrator is notified that storage in a Nutanix cluster is unavailable. The cluster has five nodes and is configured with a Fault-Tolerance level of 1 (FT-1).
During the investigation, the administrator determines the following:
All AHV hosts are powered on, and the CVMs are running.
Nodes A, B, and C connect to one top-of-rack switch.
Nodes D and E connect to a second top-of-rack switch.
The cluster status command run on Node A indicates that CVM services on Nodes D and E are down.
Which issue is causing the storage outage?
AThe default gateway for the CVMs and AHV hosts is down.
BThe switch connecting Nodes D and E is down.
CThe genesis process is down on both Nodes D and E.
DNodes D and E are in maintenance mode.
An administrator configures authentication in Prism Central (PC) for the NTNX-Admins group. Users report that they are unable to log in, even though the administrator confirms that the Active Directory (AD) settings in PC are correct.
Which condition could result in this behavior?
AA role mapping needs to be associated with the AD group.
BThe users must be added to the Domain Admins AD group.
CThe Local authentication type must also be selected in PC.
DA client chap certificate must also be added in PC.
An administrator identifies several slow VMs. While investigating the issue, the administrator observes that the slow VMs have high CPU Ready Time.

CCreate a virtual disk attached to the VM's PCI interface
DCreate several virtual disks attached to the VM's virtual SCSI controller
A three-node cluster contains a Nutanix Files instance with three FSVMs.
What occurs after a node failure?
AThe affected FSVM will get live-migrated to another node.
BThe affected FSVM will not be restarted on another node due to its agent VM setting.
CThe affected FSVM will not be restarted on another node due to its VM-to-VM anti-affinity settings.

BCreate and use an emergency local account on the cluster
CDeploy an Active Directory server locally on the cluster
DManage the cluster remotely by downloading ncli to a remote workstation
An administrator has a VM that consumes a large amount of storage and has these characteristics:
