An administrator needs to set up a protection policy in preparation for a Disaster Recovery (DR) test.
What is the first step required to satisfy this task?

  1. Install NGT (Nutanix Guest Tools) on VMs where applications are supported.
  2. Create an Availability Zone between Production and DR.
  3. Convert the source cluster to AHV.
  4. Create a point-in-time snapshot of source VMs.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

For Nutanix Disaster Recovery (DR) protection policies, the first step is to establish a connection between the Production cluster and the DR site, which is done by creating an Availability Zone (AZ) (Option B).
Availability Zones (AZs) define remote sites for replication and are a requirement for configuring protection domains and disaster recovery plans.
Option A (Installing NGT) is not necessary for setting up replication but is useful for application- consistent snapshots.
Option C (Converting the source cluster to AHV) is not required, as Nutanix supports cross-hypervisor DR between ESXi and AHV.
Option D (Creating a point-in-time snapshot) is a later step after setting up the Availability Zone and Protection Policy.

An administrator wants to ensure that VMs can be migrated and restarted on another node in the event of a single-host failure.
What action should be taken in Prism Element to meet this requirement?

  1. Set Redundancy Factor to 3.
  2. Enable HA Reservation.
  3. Configure a Protection Domain.
  4. Configure an RF1 storage container.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

To ensure VM high availability (HA) in the event of a node failure, the administrator must enable HA Reservation (Option B) in Prism Element.
High Availability (HA) in Nutanix ensures that VMs restart on another available node if the host they are running on fails.
Option A (Redundancy Factor 3) affects storage redundancy, not VM failover. Option C (Protection Domains) is related to disaster recovery (DR), not local HA failover. Option D (RF1 Storage Container) would reduce fault tolerance and is not recommended for production environments.

An administrator started an LCM upgrade of the AHV hosts but realized that the upgrade would exceed the planned maintenance window.
Which feature should be leveraged to prevent additional updates from occurring?

  1. Cancel the LCM tasks via the Ergon command line (ecli).
  2. Run the lcm_task_cleanup.py script.
  3. Restart Genesis on the cluster to restart the LCM service.
  4. Use the Stop Update feature in LCM.

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

When performing a Life Cycle Manager (LCM) upgrade, the recommended way to stop the process is to use the "Stop Update" feature in LCM (Option D).
Option A (Cancel via Ergon ecli) is not a recommended approach since manually interfering with running tasks can cause inconsistencies.
Option B (lcm_task_cleanup.py script) is used for post-upgrade cleanup but does not stop ongoing updates.
Option C (Restarting Genesis) does not stop an LCM upgrade and can cause instability.

The team leads of a development environment want to limit developer access to a specific set of VMs.
What is the most efficient way to enable the team leads to directly manage these VMs?

  1. Create a role mapping for each team lead and assign appropriately.
  2. Create a VPC for each team lead and give them VPC Admin.
  3. Create a Project for each team lead and assign access.
  4. Create Security Policies to isolate users.

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

The most efficient way to allow team leads to manage a specific set of VMs is by creating a Project (Option C) in Prism Central and assigning the team leads to that Project. Nutanix Projects allow administrators to control VM access based on groups and permissions, ensuring that users only manage VMs assigned to their project. Option A (Role Mapping) applies more broadly to roles but does not restrict access to specific VM groups.
Option B (VPC Admin) is related to network segmentation, not VM access control. Option D (Security Policies) are used for network and firewall rules, not VM access control.

An administrator needs to configure NTP on Prism Central running on a Hyper-V cluster.
How should the administrator complete this task?

  1. Add an external NTP server.
  2. Add the DNS server IP.
  3. Add a server with a DNS hostname.
  4. Add the IP of the Domain Controller.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

Nutanix requires that all cluster components synchronize time using an external NTP (Network Time Protocol) server.

Option A (Adding an external NTP server) is correct because Nutanix best practices recommend using an external time source to prevent clock drift between cluster nodes. Option B (DNS server IP) is incorrect: A DNS server does not provide NTP services. Option C (Server with DNS hostname) is incorrect unless the DNS hostname resolves to an NTP server.
Option D (IP of the Domain Controller) is incorrect because not all domain controllers provide NTP services unless explicitly configured.
