Nutanix NCS-Core Practice Questions

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.)

A. Deploy Volumes to support the AIX and SQL workloads.

B. Migrate the ESXI workloads to AHV using Move.

C. Deploy Files to support the AIX hosts.

D. Migrate the ESXi and Hyper-V workloads using Move.

A consultant deployed a Nutanix Files cluster using separate networks for client and storage. For testing a SMB standard share, a VM has been deployed on storage network. However, the consultant cannot access the share. What is the cause of the issue?

A. The CVM network segmentation is configured.

B. Clients on the same subnet as the storage network cannot access the shares.

C. An iSCSI Data Services IP is not configured for the cluster.

D. Clients on the same subnet as the storage network can only access the distributed shares

Refer to the exhibit.

A consultant is installing AOS 5.10 and ESXi 6.5 on three nodes. During the Foundation process, ESXi 6.5 is not available as one of the choices for hypervisor.
Which solution should the consultant use?

A. Upload ESXi image to /home/Nutanix/foundation/nos/hypervisor/esx.

B. Restart Foundation VM and refresh Foundation page.

C. Update the Foundation whitelist from the support portal.

D. Upload ESXi image to /home/Nutanix/foundation/isos/hypervisor/esx.

An administrator needs to initiate a new VDI project within a couple of months. Prism Central reports there are no storage resources to accommodate such workloads. The administrator sees many powered-off VMs and has the authority to delete test VMs powered off at least for 30 days. Test VMs belong to the Test category. Using Prism Central, which steps are required to identify the correct VMs to be deleted?

A. Use Capacity Runway to filter by Test and Powered-off VMs

B. Filter VMs list, choose Test category and Inactive under Efficiency

C. Create a new Scenario selecting Test VMs. filter by uptime

D. Create a new Project selecting Test VMs, sorting by power state

A consultant is preparing to foundation over a customer network that has the following criteria:

* VLAN segmented network
* VLAN tags on the nodes must be imaged prior to starting the foundation process.

For each node, the consultant has done the following:

* Connected to the Network Crash Cart of the Node
* Logged in using “root” credentials

What should the consultant do next?

A. 1. CD to /root/nutanix-network-crashcart/
2. Start Network Utility tool by running: ./network_configuration
3. Change Values

B. 1. CD to /home/data/nutanix/nutanix-network-crashcart/
2. Start Network Utility tool by running: ./network_configuration
3. Change Values

C. 1. Log into CVM using nutanix@192.168.5.254
2. CD to /root/Nutanix-network-crashcart/
3. Start Network Utility tool by running: ./network_configuration
4. Change Values

D. 1. Log into CVM using nutanix@192.168.5.254
2. CD to /home/data/nutanix/nutanix-network-crashcart/
3. Start Network Utility tool by running: ./network_configuration
4. Change Values

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.
