An existing Objects bucket was created for backups with these parameters:

A) WORM policy of three years

B) Versioning policy of two years

C) Lifecycle policy of two years

The customer reports that the cluster is nearly full due to backups created during a recent crypto locker attack. The customer would like to automatically delete backups older than one year to free up space in the cluster.

How should the administrator change settings within Objects?

  1. Modify the existing bucket lifecycle policy from two years to one year.
  2. Create a new' bucket with the lifecycle policy of one year.
  3. Create a new' bucket with the WORM policy of two years.
  4. Modify the existing bucket WORM policy from three years to one year.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

According to Nutanix documentation on unified storage (NCP-US) v6, to automatically delete

backups older than one year, an administrator should modify the existing bucket lifecycle policy to set the expiration period to one year. Lifecycle policies enable administrators to automate the transition of objects to different storage classes and to expire them altogether. In this scenario, modifying the existing bucket lifecycle policy to shorten the expiration period to one year will ensure that backups older than one year are automatically deleted to free up space in the cluster.

An administrator needs to ensure objects in a bucket expire after a certain period of time.

Which Objects feature will satisfy this requirement?

  1. WORM bucket
  2. Object versioning
  3. Lifecycle polices
  4. Protection policies

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

According to Nutanix documentation on unified storage (NCP-US) v6, Lifecycle policies enable administrators to ensure that objects in a bucket expire after a certain period of time. You can set rules to automate the transition of objects to different storage classes or to expire them altogether. This feature helps to manage storage costs by reducing the need to manually manage data retention policies for individual objects in a bucket.

Lifecycle policies allow you to define rules for automatically deleting or archiving objects in a bucket after a certain period of time1. This feature can help you reduce storage costs and manage data retention.



The Files administrator has received reports from users in the accounting department that they can see folders that they don't have permission to access. The accounting department manager has requested that employees should only be able to see folders that they have permission to access.

How would a Files administrator ensure that users in the accounting share can only see folders they have permission to access?

  1. Remove read-only access to shares users should not access.
  2. Enable Access-Based Enumeration on the accounting share.
  3. Enable Access-Based Enumeration on the File Sewer.
  4. Remove File Blocking on the accounting shares.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

According to Nutanix Support & Insights1, Access-based enumeration (ABE) is a Windows feature that filters the list of available files and folders on the file server to include only those the requesting user can access. ABE can be enabled on a per-share basis for SMB shares.

Therefore, if the Files administrator wants to ensure that users in the accounting share can only see folders they have permission to access, they can enable ABE on the accounting share.

An administrator needs to analyze data created by a custom application, which writes data into an SMB share hosted on Files. This application uses custom-built file extensions such as .zyx, . zzz, the administrator needs to provide a collapsed view of space usage, number of files, and changes within a given time frame.

How should the administrator provide the required information?

  1. Go to Files, select the share used by the application and point to Usage View.
  2. Add a new' file category in File Analytics and use File Distribution View,
  3. Configure SNMP server with Nutanix MIBS and use Excel to analyze traps.
  4. Create a File Server Resource Manager MMC and use File Screens,

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

According to File Auditing and Analytics for your Nutanix Files Enterprise Cloud1, File Analytics is a feature that captures real-time user audit data and file metadata for Nutanix Files environments. It allows you to create custom reports based on various criteria such as file type, size, owner, access time, etc.

According to Nutanix Files 3.8 and File Analytics 3.0 | Nutanix Community2, File Analytics allows you to add new file categories based on custom file extensions such as .zyx or .zzz. You can then use File Distribution View to see a collapsed view of space usage, number of files, and changes within a given time frame for each file category.

Therefore, if the administrator needs to analyze data created by a custom application that uses custom-built file extensions such as .zyx or .zzz, they can add a new file category in File Analytics and use File Distribution View to provide the required information.



During a recent audit, the auditors discovered several shares that were unencrypted. To remediate the audit item, the administrator enabled Encrypt SMB3 Messages on the accounting, finance, and facilities shares. After encryption was enabled, several users have reported that they are no longer able to access the shares.

What is causing this issue?

  1. The users are accessing the shares from Windows 8 desktops.
  2. Advanced Encryption Standard 128 & 256 are disabled in Windows 7.
  3. Advanced Encryption Standard 128 & 256 are disabled in Linux or Mac OS.
  4. The users are accessing the shares from Linux desktops.

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

According to Encryption-Files | Nutanix Community1, SMB3 message encryption is a feature that encrypts messages on the file server side and decrypts them on the client side. However, clients that do not support encryption (Linux, Mac, windows 7) cannot access a share with encryption enabled.

According to Nutanix Support & Insights2, Nutanix Files supports SMB3 encryption for SMB3 client- server traffic. This means that only clients that support SMB3 protocol can access encrypted shares.

Therefore, if the users are accessing the shares from Linux desktops, they will not be able to access them because Linux does not support SMB3 encryption.
