1.An administrator wants to receive an environment summary report when a host failure occurs.
Which action would address the administrator’s need?
A. Enable App Discovery
B. Edit report schedule
C. Configure an alert policy
D. Create a playbook
Answer: C
Explanation:
An alert policy can be configured to send out an environment summary report when a host failure occurs.
This can be done by creating a policy that triggers an alert whenever a host fails and then configuring the
policy to send out a report that provides a summary of the environment in which the failure occurred. This
will allow the administrator to quickly get a view of the environment after a failure occurs, allowing them to
take the necessary steps to address the issue.
2.An administrator has been notified by a user that a Microsoft SQL Server instance is not performing
well.
When reviewing the utilization metrics, the following concerns are noted:
Memory consumption has been above 95% for several months
Memory consumption has been spiking to 100% for the last five days
Storage latency is 2ms.
When logging into Prism Central, how could the administrator quickly verify if this VM has performance
bottlenecks?
A. See Capacity Runway.
B. Filter VM by Efficiency.
C. Update Capacity Configurations.
D. Perform Entity Sync
Answer: A
Explanation:
The Capacity Runway is a feature in Prism Central, the management console for Nutanix clusters, that
allows administrators to quickly view VM performance and utilization. By viewing the Capacity Runway,
the administrator can quickly see if the VM is experiencing any performance bottlenecks, such as high
memory consumption or latency. The Capacity Runway also allows the administrator to view the
utilization of other resources, such as CPU, network, and storage, and to identify any other potential
bottlenecks that may be impacting the performance of the VM.

manage the resources of the system, such as the nodes, storage, and networks, as well as to monitor the
performance of the system and the applications running on it.
5.An administrator has an AHV cluster that is comprised of 4 nodes with the following configuration in
each node:
CPU:2 each 2.4GHz, 12 core
Memory: 256GB
Disk: 6 each 1.92 SSD
A VM with 16 vCPUs and 96GB of RAM is being created on the cluster.
How should the administrator configure the VM to assure optimal performance?
A. With an affinity policy
B. With memory overcommit
C. With 2 vNUMA nodes
D. With Flash Mode enabled
Answer: C
Explanation:
The best way to configure the VM for optimal performance is to set it up with 2 vNUMA nodes. This will
ensure that the VM is configured to take advantage of the CPU and memory resources available in each
node, and it will also ensure that all of the cores are utilized for the best performance. Additionally, the
administrator should ensure that the VM has an affinity policy set up so that the vCPUs are evenly
distributed across the four nodes. Finally, Flash Mode should be enabled in order to take advantage of the
high-performance SSDs that are available in the cluster
6.An administrator needs to limit the amount of storage space that data stored in single container can
consume.
Which action should the administrator take?
A. Enable reservation for rebuild capacity
B. Set an advertised capacity for the container
C. Store VM snapshots in a different container
D. Thick prevision the container
Answer: B
Explanation:
The best way for the administrator to limit the amount of storage space that data stored in a single
container can consume is to set an advertised capacity for the container. This will ensure that the data
stored in the container doesn't exceed the set limit, and it will also help prevent any potential performance
issues due to resource contention. Additionally, the administrator should consider thick provisioning the
container, which will pre-allocate the amount of storage space that can be used by the container. This will

help ensure that the data stored in the container doesn't exceed the advertised capacity.
7.An administrator needs to configure Prism to send encrypted messages to a set of recipients.
Which setting must be applied?
A. Use SMTP Port 25
B. Configure Prism Central to use Cluster Lockdown
C. Install SSL certificates on Prism Central
D. Set SMTP Security Mode to STARTTLS
Answer: D
Explanation:
The best way for the administrator to configure Prism to send encrypted messages to a set of recipients is
to set the SMTP Security Mode to STARTTLS. This will ensure that all messages sent over SMTP are
encrypted and secure. Additionally, the administrator should consider installing SSL certificates on Prism
Central to ensure that the messages are being sent securely. Finally, the administrator should consider
configuring Prism Central to use Cluster Lockdown, which will help ensure that the messages are only
sent to the intended recipients.
8.Which two permission assignment tasks can be accomplished via Prism Element? (Choose two.)
A. Grant a user permission to create VMs on a specific storage container
B. Grant a user permission to view details of all VMs on a specific cluster
C. Grant an active directory group permission to perform back operations
D. Grant a user permission to create and delete snapshots on a specific VM
Answer: AD
Explanation:
The two permission assignment tasks that can be accomplished via Prism Element are
A. Grant a user permission to create VMs on a specific storage container and
D. Grant a user permission to create and delete snapshots on a specific VM. With Prism Element,
administrators can assign permissions to users and groups on a per-cluster, per-VM, or per-storage
container basis. This allows them to control who can access which resources and perform which
operations.
9.In the event of a disk failure, which process will immediately ad automatically scans Cassandra to find
all data previously hosted on the failed disk, and all disks in that node?
A. Curator
B. Stargate
C. Genesis
D. Prism
Answer: A
10.An Administrator has been asked to deploy VMs using a specific image. The image has been
configured with settings and applications that will be used by engineering to develop a new product by the
company.
The image is not available on the desired cluster, but it is available in other cluster associated with Prism
Central.

available.
The administrator would like to avoid any host reboots, but would like to apply some of the available
updates?
A. M.2 Drives
B. AHV
C. Data Drives
D. AOS
Answer: B, D
Explanation:
AHV is the Acropolis Hypervisor that is used to run Nutanix clusters, and firmware and software updates
can be applied to it without requiring any host reboots. AOS is the Acropolis Operating System that
includes the hypervisor, storage and management components of the Nutanix cluster, and firmware and
software updates can also be applied to it without requiring any host reboots.
12.An administrator is troubleshooting vDisk performance issues in a Nutanix cluster with hybrid disks.
