NCP-MCI-V6-5 sample questions

Question 1

A Nutanix administrator is tasked with implementing microsegmentation for a three-tier application using Flow Network Security. The goal is to ensure the web servers can only communicate with the application servers, and the application servers can only communicate with the database servers. Which of the following components must be configured to achieve this isolation? (Select THREE)

Accepted Answer

Categories to group VMs by application tier.

Accepted Answer

An Application Security Policy.

Accepted Answer

Assignment of the correct category to each VM.

Answer

A separate VLAN for each application tier.

Answer

A dedicated virtual switch for the application.

Question 2

During a Life Cycle Manager (LCM) upgrade of the BIOS firmware on a cluster, one node fails the update process and is rolled back, while the others succeed. The administrator investigates and finds that the failed node's CVM is currently on a different host. Which AHV feature is most likely responsible for this situation and preventing the firmware upgrade?

Accepted Answer

CVM Autopathing following a host network failure.

Answer

Acropolis Dynamic Scheduling (ADS) moved the CVM for load balancing.

Answer

The administrator manually migrated the CVM.

Answer

VM-Host Affinity rules forced the CVM to another host.

Question 3

True or False: When creating a Volume Group on a Nutanix cluster to provide iSCSI storage, you must manually install and configure Nutanix Guest Tools (NGT) on the external client machine to enable the iSCSI initiator.

Accepted Answer

False

Answer

True

Question 4

An administrator needs to provide shared storage for a new containerized application environment running outside the Nutanix cluster. The application requires a POSIX-compliant, scale-out file system. Which Nutanix service should be deployed and configured to meet this requirement?

Accepted Answer

Nutanix Files

Answer

Nutanix Volumes

Answer

Nutanix Objects

Answer

A Windows File Server VM with an attached Volume Group.

Question 5

A hospital is using a Nutanix cluster to host its Electronic Health Record (EHR) system. They need to create a disaster recovery plan to a secondary site. The compliance requirements mandate that in the event of a disaster, the EHR system must be recoverable with no more than 15 minutes of data loss. Which replication schedule type should be configured on the Protection Domain?

Accepted Answer

Asynchronous with an RPO of 15 minutes or less.

Answer

Asynchronous with an RPO of 60 minutes.

Answer

Metro Availability.

Answer

NearSync with an RPO of 1 minute.

Question 6

An administrator is attempting to add a new node to an existing AHV cluster. The process fails during the node discovery phase. The administrator confirms that the new node is on the same subnet as the existing CVMs and has the same hypervisor version. What is a common cause for this discovery failure?

Accepted Answer

IGMP Snooping on the upstream switch is blocking multicast traffic.

Answer

The new node has a different AOS version installed.

Answer

The new node's IPMI credentials do not match the cluster's.

Answer

The cluster's virtual IP address has not been configured.

Question 7

A new administrator takes over a Nutanix environment managed by Prism Central. They find that some VMs can be migrated between clusters, while others cannot. The administrator confirms that all clusters are running compatible AHV and AOS versions. What Prism Central construct is used to define which VMs are eligible for cross-cluster migration?

Accepted Answer

Categories

Answer

Projects

Answer

Availability Zones

Answer

Storage Policies

Question 8

An administrator is reviewing the capacity runway for a cluster in Prism Central and notices that the storage runway is predicted to be exhausted in 30 days. The cluster currently has RF2 configured. The administrator has identified several non-critical, archive-level workloads that could tolerate a single component failure but not two simultaneous failures. Which action would be most effective in reclaiming storage capacity and extending the runway without purchasing new hardware?

Accepted Answer

Create a new storage container for the archive workloads with Erasure Coding (EC-X) enabled.

Answer

Enable inline compression on all storage containers.

Answer

Change the cluster-wide replication factor to RF1.

Answer

Delete old, unneeded VM snapshots from all protection domains.

Question 9

**Case Study:**

A retail company, `ShopFast`, runs its e-commerce platform on a 6-node Nutanix AHV cluster. During peak holiday seasons, the web front-end VMs experience significant performance degradation. The operations team has observed that CPU utilization on the hosts is high, but not maxed out. However, storage latency for the web tier VMs spikes dramatically during these periods. The web VMs are part of a storage container that also hosts several other development and test workloads.

The current storage container configuration is RF2 with no other data efficiency features enabled. The web VMs primarily read from a large product catalog image repository, resulting in a high read I/O profile. The IT director has tasked the Nutanix administrator with resolving the latency issue for the web tier without purchasing new hardware before the next peak season.

Which configuration change should the administrator implement to specifically address the high read latency for the web tier VMs?

Accepted Answer

Create a new storage container for the web VMs and enable Shadow Clones.

Answer

Enable Erasure Coding on the existing storage container to improve data distribution.

Answer

Increase the CVM RAM on all nodes to provide a larger read cache.

Answer

Implement VM-Host affinity rules to co-locate all web VMs on the same two hosts.

Question 10

The command `acli vm.get ` is executed on an AHV host. The output includes the parameter `ha_priority: -1`. What does this value indicate about the VM?

Accepted Answer

The VM is excluded from HA and will not be restarted during an HA event.

Answer

The VM has the highest priority and will be restarted first during an HA event.

Answer

The VM has a normal priority and will be restarted after high-priority VMs.

Answer

HA is not configured correctly on the cluster.
