QuestionQ1

Section 4 – Troubleshoot Nutanix Unified Storage

Refer to the exhibit.

Question Image

What is the most likely reason the user VM does not show the newly created Volume Group (LUN) as a discovered target?

Explanation

Nutanix Volume Groups use a client allowlist to control iSCSI access. The Windows VM’s iSCSI initiator IQN must be included in that allowlist for the target to be presented and discovered; merely configuring a reachable target portal does not grant the VM access to the Volume Group.

QuestionQ3

Section 1 – Deploy and Upgrade Nutanix Unified Storage

An administrator finds that the option to upgrade Objects Manager is disabled.

What is the most likely cause?

QuestionQ4

Section 2 – Configure and Utilize Nutanix Unified Storage

An administrator is configuring a Windows client to access a Volume Group (VG) provided by a Nutanix cluster.

Which configuration details should the administrator obtain from the cluster?

Choose two
Explanation

Nutanix Volumes uses the cluster iSCSI Data Services IP (DSIP) as the client target-discovery and initial connection portal. The Volume Group name identifies the specific iSCSI Volume Group target to access. Individual CVM IP addresses are not used for client iSCSI connections; the DSIP provides the cluster-wide, highly available access point.
