QuestionQ1

Section 4 – Analyze and Remediate Performance Issues

Refer to the exhibit.

Question Image

An administrator receives complaints about poor performance in a particular VM. Based on the VM performance metrics, what is the most likely cause of this behavior?

Explanation

A very high CPU Ready value indicates that the VM has work ready to run but cannot promptly obtain physical CPU scheduling time from the hypervisor. This is characteristic of severe CPU contention or overload on the host.

QuestionQ3

Section 2 – Manage Cluster Storage

An administrator needs to ensure that data in a container is stored in the most space-efficient way as soon as possible after it is written.

Which space-efficiency tool satisfies this requirement?

Explanation

Inline compression reduces the physical size of data as it is written to disk, providing storage savings immediately on the write path. Dell documents inline compression as compressing and decompressing data on the fly during disk writes and reads.

QuestionQ5

Section 5 – Configure, Analyze, and Remediate Alerts and Events

Refer to the exhibit.

Question Image

An administrator is attempting to create a custom alert policy for all VMs. Why is the Alert warning if field grayed out?

Explanation

Nutanix alert policies do not allow a separate warning threshold when a Behavioral Anomaly threshold is configured. Behavioral anomaly detection therefore disables the Alert warning if controls.
