An administrator has been tasked with increasing security on Nutanix cluster by disabling password authentication when accessing the CVM and AHV hosts and instead moving to key-based SSH, What is the easiest way for the administrator to meet these needs?
- A. Enable Cluster Lockdown and provide an RSA key.
- B. Restrict access with User Management in Prism.
- C. Enable STIES vie commend line on SSH to CVM.
- D. Configure LDAP authentication through a secure server,
Answer: A
Explanation:
"An administrator has been tasked with increasing security on Nutanix cluster by disabling password authentication when accessing the CVM and AHV hosts and instead moving to key-based SSH, What is the easiest way for the administrator to meet these needs? Enable Cluster Lockdown and provide an RSA key." Cluster Lockdown mode disables password authentication when accessing the CVM and AHV hosts and instead requires key-based SSH. To enable Cluster Lockdown mode, you need to provide an RSA key.
Therefore, by enabling Cluster Lockdown mode and providing an RSA key, you can increase security on Nutanix cluster by disabling password authentication when accessing the CVM and AHV hosts and instead moving to key-based SSH with minimal effort.

NEW QUESTION # 30
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?
- A. Unsupported hypervisor
- B. A remote Witness VM
- C. Active containers in both sites
- D. Network latency
Answer: D
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.
NEW QUESTION # 31
An administrator logs in to Prism Element goes to the Network view, and sees the output shown in the exhibit.
Which three steps must the administrator take to increase throughput to the host? (Choose three.)
- A. Add a new switch to the network and connect 1Gb interfaces to it.
- B. Remove any 1Gb interfaces still connected from the default bond.
- C. Change the VLAN ID to a higher priority ID.
- D. Connect the 10Gb interfaces to the physical switch.
- E. Change the bond mode to balance-slb or balance-tcp.
Answer: B,D,E
Explanation:
These are the three steps that the administrator must take to increase throughput to the host. According to the network diagram, the host has two 10Gb interfaces and two 1Gb interfaces in the default bond, but only one of the 10Gb interfaces is connected to a switch. The other 10Gb interface is disconnected and has a red "X" on it.
The two 1Gb interfaces are also disconnected and have dotted lines. This means that the host is using only one
10Gb interface for all its network traffic, which limits its maximum bandwidth to 10 Gbps.
To increase the throughput, the administrator should connect both 10Gb interfaces to the physical switch, preferably to different switches for redundancy and high availability. This will allow the host to use both 10Gb interfaces for network traffic, which can increase its maximum bandwidth to 20 Gbps. However, this also requires changing the bond mode from active-backup to balance-slb or balance-tcp, which are load balancing modes that distribute network traffic across multiple interfaces based on source MACaddress or TCP session1. The default bond mode of active-backup only uses one interface at a time and switches to another interface only when the active one fails2.
Finally, the administrator should remove any 1Gb interfaces still connected from the default bond, as they are not needed and may cause performance issues or conflicts with the load balancing modes. The 1Gb interfaces can be used for other purposes, such as management or backup networks, by creating separate bonds or bridges for them3. Alternatively, they can be left disconnected if they are not required.
NEW QUESTION # 32
What is the expected behavior of the VMs residing on that host when a controller VM becomes unavailable?
- A. The impacted host and VMs will automatically shut down.
- B. VM High Availability will restart the impacted VMs on another host
- C. The host will automatically redirect I/O and VMs will continue running.
- D. A Live Migration will be performed on the affected VMs.
Answer: C
Explanation:
According to the Nutanix Support & Insights web search result1, if the owner Controller VM becomes unavailable, the address moves to another Controller VM, ensuring that it is always available. This IP address is also used as a cluster-wide address by clients configured as part of Nutanix Files and other products.
Therefore, the host will automatically redirect I/O and VMs will continue running without any interruption.
NEW QUESTION # 33
What is a requirement to enable Flow Neworking?
- A. Microservices infrastructure must be enabled.
- B. Flow Micro segmentation must be enabled.
- C. Prims Central is using a three-node scale-out deployment
- D. A dedicated virtual switch has been created for Flow Networking.
Answer: A
Explanation:
Flow Networking is a feature that enables software-defined networking for AHV clusters. It allows users to create and manage virtual private clouds (VPCs), subnets, and network services such as NAT, DHCP, routing, and VPN. Flow Networking also supports service insertion and chaining, which enables integration with third-party network functions such as firewalls and load balancers. Flow Networking is built on top of the microservices infrastructure (MSP) in Prism Central, which provides the platform for running various Nutanix services such as Calm, Karbon, and Objects. Therefore, to enable Flow Networking, the MSP must be enabled first on Prism Central1. The MSP can be enabled from the Prism Central settings page or from the command line interface (CLI) of the Prism Central VM2. Enabling the MSP will also enable Flow Microsegmentation, which is another feature that provides network security and visibility for AHV clusters.
NEW QUESTION # 34
An administrator has received reports of users being disconnected from remote desktop sessions to a specific VM.
Which VM metric is most useful isolating the cause of the issue?
- A. Hypervisor CPU Ready time (%)
- B. Swap-Out Rate
- C. Storage Controller Bandwidth
- D. Virtual NIC receive packet dropped
Answer: D
Explanation:
Virtual NIC receive packet dropped is the most useful VM metric for isolating the cause of users being disconnected from remote desktop sessions to a specific VM. This metric shows the number of packets that are dropped by the virtual NIC of the VM due to insufficient buffer space or other reasons. Packet drops can indicate network congestion, misconfiguration, or performance issues that can affect the quality and availability of remote desktop sessions. Packet drops can also cause retransmissions, delays, and errors in TCP-based protocols such as RDP2. To view this metric in Prism, go to Entities > Compute & Storage > VMs > Summary View and select a VM. Then, in the Details View, go to Metrics > Performance and select Virtual NIC receive packet dropped from the drop-down menu3.
NEW QUESTION # 35
Which two access protocols are supported by Files? (Choose two.)
- A. SMB
- B. ISCSI
- C. NFS
- D. FCOE
Answer: A,C
Explanation:
According to the Network File System web search result3, NFS (Network File System) is a distributed file system protocol that allows a user on a client computer to access files over a network in a manner similar to how local storage is accessed. NFS is one of the access protocols supported by Files. According to the [MS-WPO]: File Access Services Protocols web search result4, SMB (Server Message Block) is a Windows file sharing protocol that enables applications to discover, access, and share files that are hosted on or made available by a file server, using a network between them, in a secure and managed environment. SMB is another access protocol supported by Files. Therefore, SMB and NFS are two access protocols supported by Files.
NEW QUESTION # 36
An Administrator has been asked to deploy VMs using a specific image. The image has been configured with settings and applications that will be used by engineering to develop a new product by the company.
The image is not available on the desired cluster, but it is available in other cluster associated with Prism Central.
Why isno't the image available?
- A. The cluster should be removed from all categories.
- B. The cluster has not been added to the correct category
- C. The image placement policy was configured with enforcement.
- D. The image bandwidth policy has prevented the image upload.
Answer: C
Explanation:
When a placement policy is enforced, images are only allowed to be deployed on clusters that are part of categories that are associated with the policy. If the desired cluster is not associated with the policy, then the image will not be available for deployment.

NEW QUESTION # 38
A two-node ROBO cluster is configured with a witness VM.
What happens when Node A goes down?
- A. Node B sends a leadership request to the Witness VM and goes into single-node mode.
- B. The cluster is unaffected and no administrator intervention is required.
- C. The- cluster becomes unavailable and goes into read-only mode.
- D. All operations and services on the Node B are shut down and go into a waiting state.
Answer: A
Explanation:
According to the Nutanix 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.

NEW QUESTION # 40
Which baseline is used to identify a Zombie VM?
- A. VM has no logins for the past 21 days
- B. Memory usage is less than 1% and memory swap rate is equal to 0 Kbps for the past 21 days.
VM has no logins for the past 21 days - C. Fewer than 30 1/Os and less than 1000 bytes per day of network traffic for the past 21 days
- D. VM is powered off for the past 21 days.
Answer: C
Explanation:
The correct answer is D. Fewer than 30 I/Os and less than 1000 bytes per day of network traffic for the past 21 days.
A zombie VM is a type of inactive VM that is powered on but does very little activity. A zombie VM wastes host resources such as CPU, memory, disk, and network that could be used by other VMs. A zombie VM can be identified by using the VM Profile feature in Prism Central. The VM Profile feature analyzes the resource utilization of each VM and assigns it a profile based on its efficiency and impact on other VMs.The profiles are as follows1:
* Efficient: The VM is well-provisioned and has optimal resource utilization.
* Over-provisioned: The VM has more resources than it needs and has low resource utilization.
* Constrained: The VM has less resources than it needs and has high resource utilization.
* Inactive: The VM has no resource utilization and is idle or powered off.
* Bully: The VM has high resource utilization and causes contention for other VMs.
A zombie VM is a subtype of an inactive VM that meets the following criteria2:
* The VM is powered on for the past 21 days.
* The VM does fewer than 30 read or write I/Os (total) per day for the past 21 days.
* The VM receives or transfers fewer than 1000 bytes per day of network traffic for the past 21 days.
To identify a zombie VM, the administrator can use Prism Central to view the VM Profile dashboard and filter by profile type. The dashboard shows the number of VMs in each profile type, as well as their resource consumption and efficiency score. The administrator can also drill down into each VM to see its detailed metrics and recommendations for optimization.
NEW QUESTION # 41
Refer to the exhibit.
An administrator is adding a new node to a cluster. The node has been imaged to the same versions of AHV and AOS that the cluster running, configured with appropriate IP addresses, and br0-up has been configured the same the existing uplink bonds When attempting to add the node to the cluster with the Expand Cluster function in Prism , the cluster is unable to find the new node.
Based on the above output from the new node, what is most likely the cause of this issue?
- A. LACP configuration must be completed after cluster expansion
- B. There is a firewall blocking the discovery traffic from the tlu
- C. The ports on the upstream switch are not configured for LACP.
- D. The existing and the expansion node are on different VLANs.
Answer: D
Explanation:
The correct answer is B. The existing and the expansion node are on different VLANs.
The output shows that the new node has a br0-up bond with four interfaces: eth0, eth1, eth2, and eth3. The bond is configured with LACP active and LACP fallback set to false. This means that the bond will only work if the upstream switch supports LACP and is configured to form an LACP group with the four interfaces.
However, the output also shows that the bond has no IP address assigned to it, which indicates that the bond is not operational. One possible reason for this is that the existing and the expansion node are on different VLANs, and the upstream switch is not configured to allow the VLAN traffic on the LACP group. This would prevent the new node from communicating with the cluster and being discovered by the Expand Cluster function in Prism.
To verify this, the administrator can check the VLAN configuration on the upstream switch and compare it with the existing nodes. Alternatively, the administrator can use the "manage_ovs show_uplinks" command on an existing node and compare the output with the new node. If there is a VLAN mismatch, the administrator can either change the VLAN configuration on the switch or on the new node to match the existing nodes.
NEW QUESTION # 42
Refer to Exhibit:
Why has an anomaly been triggered?
- A. Because the CPU usage reached 100%
- B. Because the CPU usage crossed the blue band.
- C. Because the CPU usage dropped belon' 20%
- D. Because the blue band range increased over the last 2 days
Answer: B
Explanation:
Nutanix leverages a method for determining the bands called 'Generalized Extreme Studentized Deviate Test'.
A simple way to think about this is similar to a confidence interval where the values are between the lower and upper limits established by the algorithm.
Another web source3 shows an example of how anomaly detection works in Nutanix Prism Central. In the video, you can see that when the observed value of a metric deviates significantly from the predicted value based on historical data, an anomaly event is triggered and displayed on a chart.
Therefore, by comparing the observed values with the predicted values based on historical data, Nutanix anomaly detection can identify abnormal behavior and alert you accordingly.

NEW QUESTION # 45
A VM in a 12-node Nutanix cluster is hosting an application that has specific Physical GPU requirements.
Only three nodes in the cluster meet this requirement.
The administrator wants to allow a general workload to be distributed across all nodes in the cluster and must make sure that the node hosting the VM meets its requirements.
How should the administrator perform this task?
- A. Create a sperate three-node cluster using the nodes that meet the requirement.
- B. Configure anti-affinity rules between the application VM and the other VMs running on the cluster.
- C. Configure VM-Host affinity for the nodes that meet the application's GPU requirement.
- D. Over-Provision the application VM with additional virtual GPUs.
Answer: C
Explanation:
Configure VM-Host affinity for the nodes that meet the application's GPU requirement. This is because VM-Host affinity allows the administrator to specify which nodes a VM can run on or must not run on1. By creating a VM-Host affinity rule that binds the application VM to the three nodes that have the physical GPU, the administrator can ensure that the VM will always run on a node that meets its requirement, regardless of any HA or migration events. This also allows the other nodes in the cluster to host other VMs without any restrictions.
