A customer wants to run SAP HANA on a Nutanix cluster with the following characteristics: • AHV nodes • SAP HANA version 2 • Production database files Which configuration should be recommended to the customer?


A. Start with a cluster containing three or more nodes


B. Enable only compression for the container that contains the Production database


C. Do not enable compression, deduplication. or erasure coding on the storage container


D. Plate the SAP HANA Database on the same socket as CVM





C.
  Do not enable compression, deduplication. or erasure coding on the storage container

An administrator is deploying an application using Nutanix Volumes. After configuring the volume group and connecting the guest's iSCSI initiator to the volume group, they begin performance testing.
The administrator learns that performance on the virtual disk attached to the iSCSI initiator is far less than that of a virtual disk connected directly to the VM.
Which situation is causing this condition?


A. The VM's iSCSI traffic is being routed to the data services IP subnet


B. The performance test is generating small block random 10.


C. The duster data services IP address is a bottleneck, shared with other iSCSI traffic


D. Data Locality ensures that VM attached disks are always faster than iSCSI volumes.





C.
  The duster data services IP address is a bottleneck, shared with other iSCSI traffic

Refer to the exhibit.


A. Link Aggregation


B. Range Autofill


C. Network Segmentation


D. Multi-homing





B.
  Range Autofill

Explanation: During the deployment of a cluster using the Nutanix Foundation, ensuring all IP ranges are correctly configured is crucial for successful connectivity and deployment. "Range Autofill" is a feature in Foundation that automatically populates IP address fields based on the first IP provided, ensuring consistency and correctness across multiple nodes being deployed simultaneously. This feature helps avoid manual entry errors and ensures all nodes are configured with appropriate IP addresses that fall within the specified range.

A customer wants to use NIC teaming on an ESXi host using a vSphere Standard Switch configured with the Route based on physical NIC load load balancing option. The customer does not see the option when editing the Teaming and Failover settings for the switch. How should the consultant resolve this issue?


A. Change the load balancing option on the switch.


B. Add a vSphere Distributed Switch


C. Add another physical NIC to the team.


D. Install a vCenter server to manage the switch





D.
  Install a vCenter server to manage the switch

Explanation: For a customer to use NIC teaming with the "Route based on physical NIC load" load balancing option on an ESXi host using a vSphere Standard Switch, they need vCenter Server. This specific load balancing method is not available on a vSphere Standard Switch without vCenter management, as it requires vSphere Distributed Switch capabilities that are managed via vCenter Server. By installing a vCenter server, the customer can upgrade from vSphere Standard to Distributed Switches and access more advanced features including the desired NIC teaming option.References: VMware vSphere Documentation, Nutanix Bible.

While preparing for a new four-node cluster installation, the consultant has a Tech Review Call with the customer. The hardware is as follows:
* 4 nodes in 1 Block
* 8 x 10 GbE Ports
* 4 x 1 GbE IPMI Ports
* Adequate Ethernet ports are available
* Ethernet cables are correct and available
* Adequate rack space is available
Which remaining item must be confirmed as available onsite?


A. Crash Cart


B. Fibre Channel switches


C. Redundant 208v power


D. Redundant 110v power





C.
  Redundant 208v power

Explanation: In the preparation for a new cluster installation, after ensuring that the basic physical requirements such as space, cabling, and hardware connectivity are met, it's crucial to confirm power requirements. For enterprise installations, particularly where highpowered equipment like a four-node cluster is involved, ensuring redundant power is critical. The question specifically mentions "redundant" power, suggesting the need for a high-capacity solution typically found in 208v configurations in data centers, which provides more power efficiently and is standard for high-density computing hardware. Therefore, redundant 208v power should be confirmed as available onsite to support the new cluster's power needs effectively.

A consultant is preparing for a cluster deployment and evaluates portable Foundation. Laptop configuration is as follows: •CPU: 2.8 GHz Quad-Core Intel Core i7 •Memory: 4GB RAM During the installation, the consultant encounters some errors and tries to troubleshoot. What could prevent successful installation and Foundation usage?


A. Gatekeeper must be enabled


B. Oracle VirtualBox is installed on the laptop


C. Laptop configuration does not meet installation requirements


D. Firewall Stealth Mode is disabled





C.
  Laptop configuration does not meet installation requirements
