Refer to Exhibit:



An administrator needs to enable inline deduplication for a pre-existing storage container. When trying to enable deduplication on the storage container. this feature is grayed-out.

What is the reason for this behavior?

  1. Replication Factor 1 is configured on the storage container.
  2. The cluster has less than 5 nodes which is the minimum node-count to enable deduplication.
  3. Capacity reservation is not enabled on the storage container.
  4. The cluster has hybrid storage and deduplication is supported only on all-flash clusters.

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Nutanix supports two types of deduplication: post-process and inline. Post-process deduplication runs periodically on a schedule and can be enabled on any cluster. Inline deduplication runs in real time before data is written to disk and can be enabled only on all-flash clusters.

Therefore, by checking the type of storage and the type of deduplication, you can determine if you can enable inline deduplication on a storage container or not.

Nutanix inline deduplication is a feature that reduces the stored size and avoids duplicate data on a storage container1. It is recommended only on some specific scenarios, such as when using Nutanix Files or virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) workloads12.

An administrator is trying to create a custom alert policy for all VMs.

Why is the Alert warning if field greyed cut?

  1. The Alert critical if threshold is set.
  2. The Behavioral Anomaly threshold is set.
  3. The Enable Policy option checked.
  4. The Auto resolve alerts option is checked.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

when you create a custom alert policy, you can choose between two types of thresholds: Static Threshold and Behavioral Anomaly. Static Threshold allows you to set a fixed value for the metric that triggers the alert. Behavioral Anomaly allows you to use machine learning to detect abnormal behavior based on historical data.

If you select Behavioral Anomaly as the threshold type, you cannot set a warning level for the alert. You can only set a critical level that indicates how much deviation from normal behavior is considered an anomaly3. Therefore, the Alert warning if field is greyed out when you select Behavioral Anomaly.

An administrator is attempting to create an additional virtual switch on a newly deployed AHV cluster, using the two currently disconnected interfaces. The administrator is unable to select the disconnected interfaces when creating the virtual switch.

What is the likely cause of this issue?

  1. Only one interface is available on the selected hosts.
  2. Interfaces must be connected to the network before they can be assigned.
  3. The disconnected interfaces are currently assigned to virtual switch 0,
  4. Interfaces must be assigned to virtual switches via the cli

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

when you create a new virtual switch on AHV, you need to select one or more uplink interfaces that are connected to a physical network. You cannot select an interface that is already assigned to another virtual switch. By default, AHV creates a virtual switch called br0 that uses all available interfaces on the host2. Therefore, if you want to use some of those interfaces for another virtual switch, you need to remove them from br0 first.

After configuring Active Directory as the desired authentication service, an administrator is not able to login into Prism Central using privileged account.

Which configuration must be checked first?

  1. Account lock status
  2. Role Mapping
  3. Local user account
  4. Cluster Lockdown

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

According to the Nutanix Community1, users can authenticate using their Active Directory credentials when Active Directory support is enabled for Prism Central. To enable Active Directory support, you need to configure Role Mapping12, which defines how Active Directory groups map to Prism Central roles.

Refer to Exhibit:



An administrator is trying to put a node into maintenance mode but receives the message shown in the exhibit.

What is a potential reason for this dialog?

  1. LinuxVM1 uses a vDisks stored in a RFI Datastore
  2. LinuxVM1 uses a Volume Group
  3. LinuxVM1 uses a virtual GPU.
  4. LinuxVM1 uses e vDisks stored in a RF3 Datastore

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

According to the Nutanix Community1, host maintenance mode is used to safely migrate all the user virtual machines (VMs) in the host and make sure no VMs are running on the node. If a VM can't be migrated to another host, you need to shut down the VM for the host to enter into maintenance mode.

According to The Virtualist2, a storage container is a logical segmentation of a storage pool that can be mounted as an NFS datastore on ESXi hosts. You can choose a replication factor (RF) for each storage container, which determines how many copies of data are stored across different nodes.
