An administrator deploys Exchange on a Nutanix cluster. The administrator creates two containers with RF2 configuration:

· One container for Exchange

· One container for the other VMs

The Exchange VM isexperiencing I/O performance issues.

Which changes to Storage Optimization should be used on the Exchange container to enhance I/O performance?

  1. No data reduction
  2. Post process Deduplication only
  3. Inline compression and EC-X
  4. Inline compression andDeduplication

Answer(s): A



An administrator needs to make sure an RF2 cluster can survive a complete rack failure without negatively effecting workload performance. The current cluster configuration consists of thefollowing:

· 30 nodes: distributed 10 nodes per rack across three 42U rack

· Each nodes is configured with 40TB usable storage all flash (Cluster Total 1.2 PB Usable)

· Current cluster utilization is 900TB storage

Which configuration changes should be made to make sure that the cluster meets the
requirements?

  1. Expanse the cluster by adding 3 additional nodes per rack, 9 nodes total.
  2. Expanse the cluster by adding 2 additional nodes per rack, 6 nodes total.
  3. Expanse thecluster by adding 9 nodes to a new 42U rack
  4. Expanse the cluster by adding 8 nodes to a new 42U rack

Answer(s): A



An administrator needs to replace an aging SAN and move to a hyper-converged infrastructure. The existing environment consists of the following hosts that are connected to the SAN:

· 5xAIX hosts

· 3x Hyper-V hosts

· 9xESXi hosts

· 2x physical SQL Clusters(Windows Server 2012R2 hosts)

After deploying a Nutanix AHV cluster, which two actions should the administrator take to meet the requirements? (Choose two.)

  1. Deploy Volumes to support the AIX and SQL workloads.
  2. Migrate the ESXI workloads to AHVusing Move.
  3. Deploy Files to support the AIX hosts.

A Nutanix cluster is deployed with the following configuration:

· Three four-nodeblocks (A, B, and C)

· All Flash Redundancy Factor 2

What is the effect of simultaneous disk failures on two nodes located in block A?

  1. VMs are migrated off of the nodes with disk failures.
  2. Each node with a failed disk is marked as degraded.
  3. VM read and write operations continue normally.
  4. VMs on the nodes with failed disks are unable to write data

Answer(s): C

  2. Configure VM-VM affinity policy.
  3. Configure both VM-Host and VM-VM affinity policy.
  4. Configure VM-Host affinity policy.
