Question 1
What do Nutanix Field Advisories communicate to customers?
A. Lists of certified third-party hardware vendors
B. New product releases and pricing updates
C. Installation procedures for new cluster deployments
D. Known issues, workarounds, and product impacts
Answer: D
Explanation
Field Advisories are proactive safety notices. If Nutanix discovers a bug that could cause data loss or a system crash under
specific conditions, they issue a Field Advisory so that administrators can apply a patch or change a setting before their own
cluster is affected.

Question 2
What are 2 requirements to upgrade Nutanix Guest Tools (NGT) on a VM? (Choose two.)
A. DNS Entry for VM
B. Empty CD Drive
C. VM Powered Off
D. VM Powered On
Answer: BD
Explanation
Upgrading NGT is an "in-guest" process. It requires the VM to be Powered On so the operating system is active, and it
requires an Empty CD Drive so that the Nutanix cluster can temporarily attach the upgrade ISO to the VM to perform the
installation.

Question 3
Which bond type provides the best utilization of multiple physical NICs in Nutanix cluster for VM traffic
throughput?
A. Active-Backup
B. Balance-slb
C. Balance-tcp
D. No Uplink Bond
Answer: C
Explanation
To achieve the highest possible network performance, Balance-tcp (LACP) is the preferred choice. It allows the cluster to
distribute network traffic across all available physical adapters in the bond. This is particularly beneficial for environments with
high-bandwidth requirements, as it maximizes the available "pipe" for VM data by intelligently spreading the load across the
