Nutanix Nutanix Certifications NCP-MCI-6.5 Questions & Answers

• Question 121:

  How should an administrator enable secure access to Volumes using a password?

  A. iSER

  B. CHAP

  C. SAML

  D. LDAP

  Correct Answer: B

  Explanation: https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/details/?targetId=Web-Console- Guide-Prism-v50:wc-block-services-enabling-t.html Provision storage on the Nutanix cluster by creating a volume group. Create a client whitelist to enable access to the volume group by using the IP addresses or client initiator IQNs in a whitelist (as part of the volume group configuration). Create a secret for the volume group if you are using CHAP authentication.

• Question 122:

  On a Nutanix cluster, what does Network Segmentation refer to?

  A. A distributed firewall for security VM to VM traffic.

  B. Physically separating management traffic from guest VM traffic.

  C. Isolating intra-cluster traffic from guest VM traffic.

  D. Isolating management traffic from storage replication traffic.

  Correct Answer: C

  Explanation: network segmentation on Nutanix clusters refers to creating a separate network for service-specific communication and isolating different types of traffic over selected VLANs or physical interfaces. https://next.nutanix.com/ncm-intelligent-operations-formerly-prism-pro-ultimate-26/network- segmentation-isolating-service-specific-traffic-39463 https://next.nutanix.com/how-it-works-22/network-segmentation-basics-38414

• Question 123:

  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?

  A. Intelligent Locally

  B. Data Locality

  C. Intelligent Tiering

  D. Data Tiering

  Correct Answer: B

• Question 124:

  An administrator recently added new SSDs to a Nutanix cluster and knows the firmware will be out of date, Due to security constraints, the cluster does not have access to the Internet. Which two steps must be completed to update the firmware? (Choose two.)

  A. Download the disk firmware from the OEM's website.

  B. Download a darksite bundle and deploy an internal webserver,

  C. Select Upgrade Software, then upload the firmware bundle.

  D. update the LCM Source and URL to access the firmware bundle.

  Correct Answer: BC

  Download a dark site bundle and deploy an internal web server123. Select Upgrade Software, then upload the firmware bundle using the Direct Upload option in LCM1.

• Question 125:

  What is Prism Central primarily used for?

  A. Multi-cluster network configuration

  B. Container creation

  C. Multi-cluster Single Sign On

  D. Data reduction configuration

  Correct Answer: C

• Question 126:

  Refer to the exhibit.

  

  An administrator is adding a new node to a cluster. The node has been imaged to the same versions of AHV and AOS that the cluster running, configured with appropriate IP addresses, and br0-up has been configured the same the existing

  uplink bonds.

  When attempting to add the node to the cluster with the Expand Cluster function in Prism , the cluster is unable to find the new node.

  Based on the above output from the new node, what is most likely the cause of this issue?

  A. The ports on the upstream switch are not configured for LACP.

  B. The existing and the expansion node are on different VLANs.

  C. There is a firewall blocking the discovery traffic from the tlu

  D. LACP configuration must be completed after cluster expansion

  Correct Answer: B

• Question 127:

  An administrator is working with Nutanix Support and needs to provide logs for troubleshooting an issue. The cluster is located in a secure environment. Data such as IP addresses and VM names cannot be shared.

  Which method should be used to anonymize the log data sent to Nutanix Support?

  

  A. Option A

  B. Option B

  C. Option C

  D. Option D

  Correct Answer: D

• Question 128:

  An administrator is tasked with configuring networking on an AHV cluster and needs to optimize for maximum single VM throughput. Which bond mode should the administrator select?

  A. Active-Active with Mac pinning

  B. Active-Active

  C. Active-Backup

  D. No Uplink Bond

  Correct Answer: B

• Question 129:

  An administrator needs to boot a VM to a bootable CD. The administrator tries to configure the VM to boot to it, select to add disk, and goes to the images available. The image for the bootable CD is unavailable. What is the Likely issue?

  A. The CD-ROM interface is too slow.

  B. The administrator selected a disk attached before it can boot to a CD.

  C. The VM needs to have a standard disk attached before it can boot to a CD.

  D. The bootable CD image is corrupted during creation.

  Correct Answer: B

• Question 130:

  Refer to Exhibit:

  

  Why has an anomaly been triggered?

  A. Because the CPU usage crossed the blue band.

  B. Because the blue band range increased over the last 2 days

  C. Because the CPU usage dropped belon' 20%

  D. Because the CPU usage reached 100%

  Correct Answer: A

  Explanation: Nutanix leverages a method for determining the bands called `Generalized Extreme Studentized Deviate Test'. A simple way to think about this is similar to a confidence interval where the values are between the lower and upper

  limits established by the algorithm.

  Another web source3 shows an example of how anomaly detection works in Nutanix Prism Central. In the video, you can see that when the observed value of a metric deviates significantly from the predicted value based on historical data, an

  anomaly event is triggered and displayed on a chart.

  Therefore, by comparing the observed values with the predicted values based on historical data, Nutanix anomaly detection can identify abnormal behavior and alert you accordingly.
