Refer to the exhibit.


A. Keep active adapters od different speeds as active standby


B. Remove adapters that are active but not homogeneous.


C. Keep homogeneous adapter as active and standby


D. Remove the standby adapters under Teaming and Failover.





C.
  Keep homogeneous adapter as active and standby

Explanation: When converting a cluster from ESXi to AHV and encountering warnings about network adapter configurations in VMware vCenter, it is crucial to ensure that the network adapters are homogeneous to avoid issues with network performance and reliability. Keeping homogeneous adapters as active and standby ensures that all active and standby adapters operate at the same speed and capabilities, which is essential for maintaining consistent network performance and failover capabilities. This setup helps in avoiding conflicts or performance penalties that can arise from using mixed adapter types under the same virtual switch environment.

A customer wants to ensure that the Data Protection configuration using Protection Domains is fully functional.
The consultant has configured a protection domain for newly-created VMs with static IP addresses on multiple VLANs. The network administrator confirmed that the correct subnets exist at both physical sites.
After performing a failover operation, the virtual machines are turned back on but have no network access.
Which statement describes this issue?


A. Network mappings are not configured for the Remote Site.


B. Nutanix Guest Tools (NGT) are mandatory to use Data Protection.


C. VirtIO drivers need to be reinstalled after a failover.


D. Remote Virtual IP addresses are missing for the Remote Site.





A.
  Network mappings are not configured for the Remote Site.

Refer to the exhibit.


A. 1


B. 2


C. 3


D. 4





B.
  2

Explanation: Based on the exhibit which shows an NX-3160 block with marked slots, the correct slot for installing a new node in the existing NX-3160 block is slot 2. This configuration is typically aligned with the chassis' design for orderly expansion and maintaining balanced power and cooling distribution among the nodes.

Refer to Exhibit:

A Foundation install must be done on four NX nodes for a new customer. A consultant need to set up the network onsite before imaging the nodes through the Foundation tool. The nodes are equipped with two SFP28 25GbE NICs with dual ports, and a 10GBase-T NIC with dual ports as well The customer’s ToR switches are 25GbE datacenter switches, already in production.
What is the appropriate hardware to perform the most reliable imaging of these NX nodes?


A. A flat Ethernet switch, 4 compatible IGBase-T GBiCs, five Ethernet cables and a laptop.


B. The 25GbE production switches. 4 DAC cables and 5 Ethernet cables with a flat Ethernet switch, and a laptop.


C. A flat Ethernet switch. 9 Ethernet cables, and a laptop.


D. The 25GbE production switches. 4 DAC cables, only one Ethernet cable with a 10GBase-T GBIC, and a laptop.





B.
  The 25GbE production switches. 4 DAC cables and 5 Ethernet cables with a flat Ethernet switch, and a laptop.

Explanation:
Given that the customer's ToR switches are 25GbE and are already operational, the most reliable and straightforward method for imaging these NX nodes with dual 25GbE and 10GbE ports is to use the 25GbE production switches. The appropriate hardware setup includes:
4 DAC (Direct Attach Cable) cables for connecting the 25GbE NICs on the nodes to the ToR switches.
5 Ethernet cables to manage connectivity between nodes and potentially to a flat Ethernet switch and a laptop for Foundation process control. This setup ensures the fastest and most reliable network performance during imaging, leveraging the existing high-speed infrastructure.

A consultant is setting up Prism Central to manage multiple Nutanix clusters. The customer requires til redundancy and tre aby to manage up to 12,500 VMs. Which deployment option should the consultant use to meet the requirements?


A. Maximum CPU and memory allowed for the server hosting the Prism Central VM


B. Prism Central cluster mode


C. Prism Central Scale-out deployment


D. Large Prism Central VM with the maximum CPU and memory allowed





C.
  Prism Central Scale-out deployment

An administrator manages the following two Nutanix AOS 5.15 cluster environment:

• Corp-cluster-01
• Corp-cluster-02

The VM images must be available only on Corp-cluster-01, but cannot be checked out to cluster Corp-cluster-02. The images also cannot be checked out to any other clusters that are registered with Prism Central in the future. Which two configuration settings must the administrator choose when creating the image placement policy that satisfies the stated requirements? (Choose two.)


A. Create an image placement policy that identifies cluster Corp-cluster-01 as the target cluster


B. Set the policy enforcement to Soft.


C. Set the policy enforcement to Hard.


D. Create an image placement policy that identifies cluster Corp-cluster-02 as the target cluster.





A.
  Create an image placement policy that identifies cluster Corp-cluster-01 as the target cluster


C.
  Set the policy enforcement to Hard.
