NCM-MCI-5.15 Online Practice Questions and Answers

A VM is exhibiting one or more of the following baseline values based on the past 30 days:

CPU usage<; 20%

CPU ready time<; 5%

Memory usage<; 50% (moderately) or<; 20% (severely)

Memory swap rate = 0 Kbps

Which type of VM is being described?

A. Constrained VM

B. Inactive VM

C. Bully VM

D. Over-Provisioned VM

An administrator needs to create and start five new VMs for a Data Analytics Project (OLAP). The VM Profile is as follows:

vCPU:4 vRAM: 64 GB vDisk: 1.5 TB

Each of the four nodes of the Nutanix cluster has the following:

24 vCPU. 20% overall usage 192 GB RAM, 60% overall usage 2xl920GBSSD 4x 2 TB HDD

At cluster level, there is a single RF2 container that is 30% utilized and has an extent store capacity of 13.5 TB.

Which component requires administrator attention?

A. Physical RAM, because it is not enough to power on all of the new VMs.

B. Physical Cores, because they are not enough to power on all of the new VMs.

C. Storage, because the capacity is not enough to create VMs.

D. Flash Tier because it is not enough to accommodate the workloads.

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?

A. Compression, Deduplication, and Erasure Coding

B. Deduplication and Erasure Coding

C. Compression and Deduplication

D. Compression only

Refer to the exhibit.

What is the purpose of eth2 on the CVMs?

A. RDMA Network Segmentation

B. iSCSI connectivity

C. Remote site connectivity

D. Network Segmentation

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?

A. A role mapping needs to be associated with the AD group.

B. The users must be added to the Domain Admins AD group.

C. The Local authentication type must also be selected in PC.

D. A client chap certificate must also be added in PC.

Refer to the exhibit.

A Nutanix host is connected as shown in the exhibit with br0-up set to active/backup. Physical Switch 1 experiences a power outage causing br0-up to failover to using eth2. The CVM and host become inaccessible. User VMs restart on other hosts in the cluster, which causes a disruption to those VMs.

Which configuration issue likely caused this outage?

A. Bridge br0-up should be configured to use balance-tcp rather than active/backup.

B. The CVM should have eth1 connected to the OVS.

C. The upstream port for eth2 is missing a VLAN.

D. The user VMs only have one NIC

While creating an image placement policy on the organizations AOS 5.15-based Nutanix cluster, the administrator wants to ensure there are no restrictions on using the selected images on clusters outside of the identified set. What type of Policy Enforcement must the administrator choose?

A. Soft

B. Internal

C. Hard

D. External

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?

A. Replace the cable from eth2 to the switch

B. Remove eth3 from br0-up and monitor for new alerts

C. Check the port on the switch side for any errors

D. Enable balance-s1b on br0-up and monitor if a problem persists

Refer to the exhibit.

A Microsoft SQL 2016 deployment is shown in the exhibit. The administrator receives user reports that database queries take too long to return. Which optimization should be made to this configuration to improve performance?

A. Combine both of the OS and SQL Binaries disks

B. Add a second SCSI controller for the Database.

C. TempDB, and Logs disk Separate the Database. TempDB, and Logs onto their own disks

D. Configure the VM to use a PCI disk controller

An administrator is trying to correct high cluster IOPs and Cluster Controller Latency. Networking is the suspected issue.

Which networking parameters should be configured in the Nutanix cluster?

A. Bond State and network latency

B. Number of NICs connected and network latency.

C. Number of NICs connected and frame size

D. Number of NICs connected and bond state.
