NCM-5.15 Online Practice Questions and Answers

In a Nutanix cluster, a Protection Domain contains 50 entities that are replicated to a remote Single Node Replication Target. The current schedule configuration is as follows: Repeat every 6 hours Local Retention Policy 1 Remote Retention Policy 8 Starting time 12 am

At 8 am on Monday, the administrator discovers that a protected VM is corrupted. The latest good state was Sunday 2 pm. The administrator needs to maintain current protection.

Which strategy should the administrator use to meet these requirements?

A. From the Remote site, activate the Protection Domain, then re-protect the entity.

B. From the Remote site, restore the VM from the local snapshot by selecting the correct snapshot.

C. From the local site, retrieve the correct remote snapshot, then restore the VM locally.

D. From the local site, restore the VM from the local snapshot by selecting the correct snapshot.

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?

A. Increase the number of cores per vCPU

B. Increase the vCPUs assigned to the VM

C. Span the 2TB disk across four vDisks

D. Add 4GB of memory to the VM

An administrator manages the following two Nutanix AOS 5.15 cluster environment: Corp-cluster-01 Corp-cluster-02

The VM images must be available only on Corp-cluster-01, but cannot be checked out to cluster Corp-cluster-02. The images also cannot be checked out to any other clusters that are registered with Prism Central in the future.

Which two configuration settings must the administrator choose when creating the image placement policy that satisfies the stated requirements? (Choose two.)

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 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. Expanse the cluster by adding 3 additional nodes per rack, 9 nodes total.

B. Expanse the cluster by adding 2 additional nodes per rack, 6 nodes total.

C. Expanse the cluster by adding 9 nodes to a new 42U rack

D. Expanse the cluster by adding 8 nodes to a new 42U rack

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?

A. Enable Async Replication with an RPO of 60 minutes

B. Enable Near-Sync Replication with an RPO of 15 minutes

C. Enable Entity Sync on the designated VMs

D. Enable Availability Zones and send the VM to multiple targets

An administrator needs to relocate an AHV cluster to a new datacenter during a maintenance window. The cluster will use the same IPs in the new datacenter.

Which two steps should be taken to prepare for this task? (Choose two.)

A. Stop all Nutanix Files clusters

B. Relocate the linked LDAP servers

C. Shut down all user VMs in the cluster

D. Reconfigure IPMI for the new datacenter

An administrator is migrating 5MB shares from a third-party platform to Nutanix Files with the following characteristics: Shares contain user profile directories DFS-N will be used

How should the administrator create target shares for this migration?

A. Create multiple general purpose shares and distribute migrated data as evenly as possible.

B. Create multiple distributed shares and distribute migrated data as evenly as possible.

C. Create standard shares with multiple top-level directories and distribute migrated data.

D. Create distributed shares with multiple top-level directories and distribute migrated data.

A customer has Metro Availability configured in Automatic Resume Mode between Site A and Site B.

What happens to VMs if Primary Site A has full network failure?

A. Automatic protection domain promotion in Site B. VMs automatically restart in Site

B. VMs continue to run on Site A following an automatic disable of protection domains.

C. An administrator must unwitness in Site B and promote protection domains in Site B for VMs to restart

D. An administrator must promote protection domains in Site B for VMs to restart.

An administrator deletes a large amount of data from a Volume Group presented to a Linux VM. The administrator notices that the deleted data has not been reclaimed as usable storage. What action should be taken to reclaim the storage capacity?

A. Shrink the Volume Group that is associated with the Linux VM

B. Unmount the Volume Group and then Remount the Volume Group

C. Enable the unman operation on the Linux VMD. Run Defrag on the Linux VM

A customer has two mission-critical applications and needs to have them backed up to a remote location. The remote location is connected using a leased line and has an average latency of 7 ms. Which Nutanix technology will provide the shortest RPO possible?

A. NearSync

B. Leap

C. Metro Availability

D. AsynandDR
