NCP STUDY QUESTIONS WITH
100% CORRECT ANSWERS
Which three cluster operations require an administrator to reclaim licenses? - Answer-
Destroy a cluster.
Remove a Node from a cluster
Move Nodes between clusters.
What could be the cause for this behavior? - Answer- Images were imported into Prism
Central.
What is the recommended configuration change to improve throughput? - Answer-
Increase the number of cores per vCPU
A user is complaining about slowness of a mission-critical MSSQL Server. The
administrator logs into Prism Element to investigate the VM performance and observes
what is shown in the diagram.
Which action would best improve VM performance? - Answer- Add additional RAM to
the user VM.
An administrator increases the cluster RF to 3. The containers are not modified. What
will the new values in the data resiliency dashboard be for FAILURES TOLERABLE for
the Zookeeper and Extent Groups components? - Answer- Zookeeper = 2 and Extent
Groups = 1
Which capability refers to the storage of VM data on the node where the VM is running
and ensure that the read I/O does not have to traverse the network? - Answer- Data
Locality\
An administrator wants to reduce the largest amount of alert emails received from Prism
Central.
Which two settings should the administrator customize to meet this requirement?
(Choose two) - Answer- Email Recipients
Dally Digest
Where are Leap Availability Zones configured? - Answer- Prism Central
Which algorithm do snapshots and clones leverage to maximize efficiency and
effectiveness? - Answer- Redirect-On-Write
, An administrator has set up a local web server accessible to the Nutanix clusters.Which
two steps are required to set up LCM for an environment without Internet access?
(Choose two.) - Answer- Edit LCM Advanced Settings in Prism Element and enter the
address of the web server.
Download the lcm_dark_site_version. tar . gz LCM bundle from the support portal.
What is most likely the cause of this issue? (image) - Answer- The VLAN was not
created on the upstream switches.
An administrator is commissioning a Nutanix Enterprise Cloud. Once the user VMs have
been deployed and are running, the administrator finds that VMs on the same host are
able to communicate, but are unable to communicate between hosts.What must be
changed to enable full inter-VM communications? - Answer- Update the switch to
specifically allow VLAN 15
A two-node ROBO cluster is configured with a witness VM. (image) - Answer- Node B
sends a leadership request to the Witness VM and goes into single-node mode.
After configuring Active Directory as the desired authentication service, an administrator
is not able to login into Prism Central using privileged account.
Which configuration must be checked first? - Answer- Role Mapping
What requires iSCSI initiator configuration in the guest OS to use Volumes? - Answer-
Microsoft Windows Failover Cluster
An administrator needs to configure Prism to send encrypted messages to a set of
recipients.
Which setting must be applied? - Answer- Set SMTP Security Mode to STARTTLS
An administrator needs to limit the amount of storage space that data stored in single
container can consume.Which action should the administrator take? - Answer- Set an
advertised capacity for the container
A customer wants to isolate a group of VMs within their Nutanix environment for security
reasons. The customer creates a VM with two NICs to act as a firewall and installs the
appropriate software and certificates.However, no one from the outside can access the
application.What is the likely cause of this problem? - Answer- One of the NICs needs
to be configured on the internal VLAN
A recently configured cluster is leveraging NearSync with a recovery schedule of 15
minutes. It is noticed that the cluster is consistently transitioning in an Out of NearSyne.
What action should be taken to potentially address this issue? - Answer- Increase
network bandwidth
