Question 1

What is the function of the virbr0 bridge on AHV?

Accepted Answer

The answer of What is the function of the virbr0...

Question 2

How should an administrator configure a custom alert for a specific VM in Prism?

Accepted Answer

Modify VM settings to add the custom alert

Question 3

What is the expected behavior of the VMs residing on that host when a controller VM becomes unavailable?

Accepted Answer

When a controller VM becomes unavailable, the host typically redirects I/O to another controller VM, allowing the VMs to continue running without interruption.

Question 4

A customer has a newly-deployed AHV cluster with nodes that have 2 x 10GbE and 2 x 1GbE interfaces. The customer wants to use all available network interfaces to provide connectivity to the VMs. Which option should the administrator use to achieve this while remaining consistent with Nutanix recommendations?

Accepted Answer

The answer of A customer has a newly-deployed AHV cluster...

Question 5

When creating a VM on an AHV cluster, how is the initial placement of the VM determined?

Accepted Answer

The Acropolis Dynamic Scheduler (ADS) is responsible for determining the initial placement of a VM on an AHV cluster by selecting a host that provides adequate resources for the VM's configuration.

Question 6

Two HDDs fail simultaneously on a single AHV host. What are the chances of data loss?

Accepted Answer

Nutanix AHV uses a distributed storage fabric that replicates data across multiple nodes, so the failure of two HDDs on a single host does not necessarily lead to data loss, as data is still accessible from other nodes.

Question 7

An administrator needs to take a single node down for maintenance. Which two steps should the administrator take? (Choose two.)

Accepted Answer

The answer of An administrator needs to take a single...

Question 8

Which two methods are valid for migrating a VM from a Nutanix vSphere cluster to AHV? (Choose two.)

Accepted Answer

Nutanix Move is a tool specifically designed for migrating VMs between different hypervisors, including from vSphere to AHV. Cross-Hypervisor DR allows for replication and recovery of VMs across different hypervisors, facilitating migration.

Question 9

An administrator wants to create a trunked interface on a VM on AOS 5.10.x. Which two steps should the administrator take first to achieve this? (Choose two.)

Accepted Answer

The answer of An administrator wants to create a trunked...

Question 10

A customer has a 24-node cluster with all containers configured with RF3. Two different nodes have incurred a simultaneous HDD failure. What is the result?

Accepted Answer

The Nutanix cluster with RF3 can tolerate up to two simultaneous failures. It will recognize the failures and immediately begin to rebuild the lost data to maintain three replicas.

Question 11

What is the default network bond setting for an AHV host configuration?

Accepted Answer

The default network bond setting for an AHV host configuration is "active-backup," which provides redundancy by using one active link and one backup link.

Question 12

Where are Leap Availability Zones configured?

Accepted Answer

Leap Availability Zones are configured in Prism Central, which is the management interface for managing multiple Nutanix clusters and services, including Leap for disaster recovery.

Question 13

An administrator is configuring cross-hypervisor DR from an ESXi cluster to a new AHV cluster. When the administrator migrates a protection domain to the AHV cluster, the VMs fail to boot. What should the administrator do to correct this problem?

Accepted Answer

The administrator should install Nutanix Guest Tools (NGT) in the protected VMs to ensure compatibility and proper functionality when migrating VMs from an ESXi cluster to an AHV cluster.

Question 14

Where can an administrator change a CVM password?

Accepted Answer

The CVM password can be changed in the CVM settings in Prism Element.

Question 15

What is the maximum number of tested and supported vDisks (including snapshots) that a Nutanix cluster can maintain?

Accepted Answer

The answer of What is the maximum number of tested...

Question 16

Which algorithm do snapshots and clones leverage to maximize efficiency and effectiveness?

Accepted Answer

AOS tracks snapshots with a fine-grained redirect-on-write algorithm that allows fine-grained control and maximizes both efficiency and performance. Clone hundreds of new workloads in seconds, and create deep snapshot chains without impacting applications.

Question 17

Which change can be made on a cluster with software-based Data-at-Rest Encryption enabled?

Accepted Answer

The answer of Which change can be made on a...

Question 18

In which two scenarios is an automated live migration likely to occur? (Choose two.)

Accepted Answer

The answer of In which two scenarios is an automated...

Question 19

An administrator is adding a node with a higher AOS release to an existing cluster. What is the most efficient action an administrator should take to ensure it is in a supported state?

Accepted Answer

Reimaging the new node to match the existing cluster's AOS version ensures compatibility and support, allowing it to be added without disrupting the cluster.

Question 20

A guest VM should be able to tolerate simultaneous failure of two nodes or drives. What are the minimum requirements for the Nutanix cluster?

Accepted Answer

To tolerate simultaneous failure of two nodes or drives, a Nutanix cluster requires a minimum of 5 nodes with a cluster RF (Replication Factor) of 3. This ensures that data is replicated across enough nodes to handle multiple failures.
