Question 1
HOTSPOT
An administrator needs to shut down an AHV cluster to relocate hardware. The administrator upgrades NCC and runs health checks.
Which steps should the administrator perform next?
Item instructions: For each procedure, indicate the order in which that procedure must take place to meet the item requirements.

Question 2
Which method can be used to migrate a VM configured for UEFI-boot from a Nutanix Hyper-V cluster to AHV?
Explanation:
Nutanix Move is a tool that allows you to migrate VMs from different sources to Nutanix AHV with minimal downtime and complexity. Nutanix Move supports migration from Hyper-V to AHV, including VMs configured for UEFI-boot. UEFI stands for Unified Extensible Firmware Interface, which is a standard for the software interface between the operating system and the firmware. UEFI-boot is a mode of booting that uses UEFI instead of BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) to load the operating system. UEFI-boot offers some advantages over BIOS-boot, such as faster boot time, larger disk support, and better security features1.
To migrate a VM configured for UEFI-boot from a Nutanix Hyper-V cluster to AHV, you need to use Nutanix Move and follow these steps2:
Download and deploy the Nutanix Move appliance on the AHV cluster.
Log in to the Nutanix Move web console and add the source Hyper-V environment and the target AHV environment.
Create a migration plan and select the VMs that you want to migrate. You can choose either automatic or manual preparation mode for the migration.
Start the migration plan and monitor the progress. The migration plan will perform data seeding, which is the process of copying the VM data from the source to the target in the background.
When the data seeding is complete, perform a cutover, which is the process of shutting down the source VMs and powering on the target VMs. The cutover will also configure the boot device for the UEFI-boot VMs on AHV.
Verify that the migrated VMs are working as expected on AHV.
Question 3
An administrator needs to report on any alerts generated by a Nutanix cluster that affected the cluster's availability over the past 10 days.
Which method should be used to locate these events?
Question 4
CPU utilization climbs above 90% on several VMs. This causes performance degradation for a business-critical application.
How can alerts be configured to notify the administrator before VM CPU utilization hits 90%?
Question 5
In Files, how many FSVMs are deployed by default?
Explanation:
According to theNutanix Files Guide, Nutanix Files instances are composed of a set of VMs (called FSVMs). Files requires at least three FSVMs running on three nodes to satisfy a quorum for high availability. By default, Files deploys three FSVMs when you create a file server instance.
Question 6
A two-node ROBO cluster is configured with a witness VM.
What happens when Node A goes down?
Explanation:
According to theNutanix Support & Insights, in a two-node ROBO cluster with a witness VM, if one node goes down, the other node sends a leadership request to the witness VM and goes into single-node mode. The cluster remains available and can tolerate another failure of either the witness VM or the network link.
Question 7
How will an HDD failure affect VMs with data on the failed device?
Explanation:
According to theTroubleshooting hosted disk I/O performance problems (1008885), when using VMware hosted products, consider that both the virtual machines and host operating system often share the same disk resources and hardware. If a hard disk fails, the virtual machines that have data on the failed device will experience an HA event, causing them to restart on a node that contains the replica data.
Question 8
A guest VM should be able to tolerate simultaneous failure of two nodes or drives.
What are the minimum requirements for the Nutanix cluster?
Question 9
HOTSPOT
Async DR is configured between two sites. A network outage occurs at the primary site.
Which steps must the administrator perform to bring the VMs back into service at the backup site?
Item instructions: For each procedure, indicate the order in which that procedure must take place to meet the item requirements. Not all procedures are valid. Identify any invalid procedures using the drop-down option.
Question 10
Refer to the exhibit.
An administrator is trying to implement the solution that is shown in the exhibit, but has been unsuccessful.
Based on the diagram, what is causing the issue?
Explanation:
The correct answer is C. Network latency.
The diagram shows a solution that uses synchronous replication between two remote protection domains, cluster site A and cluster site B. Synchronous replication is a feature that allows near-zero RPO (recovery point objective) by replicating data to the remote site before acknowledging writes to the local site. However, synchronous replication has some requirements and limitations that must be met for it to work properly. One of these requirements is that the network latency between the two sites must be less than or equal to 5 ms1. If the network latency is higher than 5 ms, the synchronous replication will fail and the protection policy will be suspended2.
Therefore, based on the diagram, the most likely cause of the issue is that the network latency between cluster site A and cluster site B is higher than 5 ms, which prevents the synchronous replication from working. To verify this, the administrator can use the ''ncli cluster ping'' command to measure the network latency between the two sites3. If the network latency is indeed higher than 5 ms, the administrator can either improve the network performance or switch to a different replication mode, such as near-synchronous or asynchronous.
