Nutanix NCSE-Core Practice Questions

During a meeting with a prospect a storage administrator comments that they're currently using 16Gb Fibre Channel for their SAN and believes that 10Gb Ethernet can't provide adequate bandwidth or low latency. As a followup to the meeting, which Nutanix Bible section would be most helpful in overcoming the storage administrator's objection?

A. Data locality

B. Storage Tiering and Prioritization

C. Cluster Components

D. Drive Breakdown

E. Do you have any infrastructure refreshes planned for this year?

A prospective customer's migration to their new SAN started six months ago and is sill not complete. The VP of IT state the previous migration to the existing SAN took almost eight months to complete. How should the systems engineer describe Nutanix hardware refreshes to this prospective customer.

A. New nodes can be added to an existing cluster. and then the old nodes can be removed.

B. Manual hardware refreshes take time, and the systems engineer understands the customer's current situation.

C. With AHV, vMotion between cluster occurs faster than on a SAN-based cluster

D. Setting in AHV node's EVC mode is a very fast process that will shorten the upgrade time

An 8-node hybrid cluster is configured with a Fault Tolerance level of 2 (RF3). All nodes are identical. Which simultaneous failures will result in VM data being unavailable?

A. Two HDD failures on one node and a single SSD failure on another node

B. Single SSD failure on one node and a single SSD failure on another node

C. SSD failures on two nodes and a CVM powered off on another.

D. CVM being powered off on one node and two HDD failures on another node.

A prospects need to refresh their environment but has a very small budget for the project. Four years after their last infrastructure refresh, the prospect’s datacenter is only running at 40% utilization. In addition, they have 25 satellite offices. Each office has a requirement to run 4 to 6 VM’s locally. Which two Nutanix platform capabilities should the SE highlight to address the prospect’s concerns? (Choose two)

A. Multi-Site Management.

B. Pay as you grow.

C. Automated data storage tiering.

D. Software only.

E. Single node backup.

When reviewing Nutanix cluster upgrades. a customer engineer is concerned that their VM will be forced to repeatedly migrate between nodes. Which Nutanix feature allows VMs to remain on a host during an AOS upgrade?

A. CVM Autopathing

B. RF3

C. Data Locality

D. Shadow Clones

An SE is conducting a first call presentation with their Account Executive and a prospect. The prospect needs to build a private cloud but has been unable to implement the solution in-house, since using their traditional architecture would require integrating server, storage and networking solutions from six different vendors.
The cost and complexity of that approach is too high. Also their current infrastructure is not built for scalability or performance.
The prospect has considered upgrading their traditional server and SAN storage platforms but could not meet requirements for scale and performance using this approach.
In what order should the SE present the critical product and technology portions of the First Customer Presentation to the IT Director?

A. Native convergence of traditional infrastructure.
Scalable distributed system.
Data locality and distributed data.
Application automation with Calm.
Xi Cloud Services

B. Application automation with Calm.
Xi Cloud Services.
Native convergence of traditional infrastructure.
Scalable distributed system.
Data locality and distributed data.

C. Xi Cloud Services.
