A RHEL administrator has requested a new NFS v4 export share to be deployed.

The task has been completed with the following settings:

· Authentication - System

· Default Access - Read-Write

Which mount--t nfs -o sec option should the RHEL administrator issue in order to properly mount the new share?

  1. Krb5p
  2. None
  3. Sys
  4. Krb5i

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

Nutanix Files supports NFSv4, which includes advanced features such as strongly mandated security1. NFSv4 supports different security flavors such as sys, krb5, krb5i, and krb5p1. The sys flavor uses UNIX-style authentication based on UID/GID mapping1. The other flavors use Kerberos authentication with different levels of protection.

Since the NFS v4 export share was configured with System authentication, which is equivalent to sys flavor1, the RHEL administrator should issue the mount command with the option -o sec=sys21.



While preparing for migrating data from a legacy storage environment to a new Files scale-out file server, the administrator make the following notes:

Requirements:

Number of home directories: 4000

Number of Departmental shares: 1

Everyone is permitted to accessing it

All users use the same Departmental share

The administrator deploys Files using the following configuration:

Number of FSVMs: 3

VCPU & RAM/FSVM: 4VCPU,12GB

One Distributed share with SSR & ABE enabled for the Home Directories

One Standard share for the Departmental share

Does this configuration satisfy the project's requirements?

  1. No, the project needs two distributed Share 4 FSVMs. 6 vCPU & 326B RAM
  2. Yes, the listed configuration elements satisfy the requirements.
  3. No, the project needs two distributed 4 FSVMs, 24 vcpu & 128GB RAM
  4. No, the project needs 4 FSVMs 4 vCPU & 12GB RAM.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

According to the scenario, the administrator is preparing to migrate data from a legacy storage environment to a new Files scale-out file server in a way that meets the following requirements:

Number of home directories: 4000

Number of Departmental shares: 1

Everyone is permitted to access it

All users use the same Departmental share

The administrator deploys Files using the following configuration:

Number of FSVMs: 3

VCPU & RAM/FSVM: 4VCPU, 12GB

One Distributed share with SSR & ABE enabled for the Home Directories

One Standard share for the Departmental share

Based on this configuration, it appears that the project's requirements are satisfied. The configuration provides a Distributed share for the home directories, which is recommended when there is a large number of files or directories, and this will distribute the load across multiple FSVMs.
Note that everyone is permitted to access it.

In addition, the configuration provides a Standard share for the Departmental share, and since all users use the same Departmental share, this will not create any performance issues. Therefore, the correct answer is B, 'Yes, the listed configuration elements satisfy the requirements'.



What is the reason for the alert: File Server In Heterogeneous State?

  1. The FSVMs are distributed properly on the hosts in the cluster.
  2. Performance of the File Server is optimal, and the alert can be ignored.
  3. The FSVMs do not match in their CPU or memory
  4. The hosts where the FSVMs run do not match in their CPU or memory configuration

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

According to the Nutanix Files Solution Guide1, all the FSVMs have the same basic configuration: four vCPU and 12 GB of RAM1. However, you can add more vCPU, RAM, and FSVMs to the cluster.

Based on this information, the alert: File Server In Heterogeneous State indicates that the FSVMs do not match in their CPU or memory configuration1. This could affect the performance and availability of the file server.



A company has a number of thin clients which need to boot over the network. The company is using Volumes for this project.

Which component is needed to meet this requirement? (Choose two.)

  1. A compatible Ethernet adapter per client
  2. VM-attached VG with client iSCSI Initiator.
  3. A DHCP server pointing to the Nutanix cluster.
  4. A client with MPIO access to the VG

Answer(s): A,C

Explanation:

According to the Boot Over ISCSI article1, to boot an operating system over iSCSI for physical servers using Nutanix Volumes, you need to configure the network adapter BIOS settings to enable this feature1. You also need a DHCP server pointing to the Nutanix cluster that provides the iSCSI LUN.

Based on this information, the components that are needed to meet this requirement are A. A compatible Ethernet adapter per client and C. A DHCP server pointing to the Nutanix cluster.



An administrator has deployed an SMB v3 Files cluster, but needs to make the cluster able to support Multi-protocol access,

Which protocol will be native?

  1. NFS
  2. S3
  3. SMB
  4. cifs

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

According to the Nutanix Files SMB Migration Guide1, Nutanix Files supports SMB protocol V2 and V31. SMB is a native protocol for Nutanix Files that allows file sharing between Windows clients and servers.
