• Question 42:

  What are two network requirements for a four-node FSVM deployment? (Choose two.)

  A. Four available IP addresses on the Storage network

  B. Five available IP addresses on the Client network

  C. Five available IP addresses on the Storage network

  D. Four available IP addresses on the Client network

  Correct Answer: BC

  Explanation: The two network requirements for a four-node FSVM deployment are five available IP addresses on the Client network and five available IP addresses on the Storage network. The Client network is used for communication between the FSVMs and the clients, while the Storage network is used for communication between the FSVMs and the CVMs. For each FSVM, one Client IP and one Storage IP are required. Additionally, one extra Client IP is required for the file server VIP (Virtual IP), which is used as a single point of access for all shares and exports on the file server.

• Question 43:

  What is the primary criteria that should be considered for performance-sensitive application shares with sequential.1/O?

  A. IOPS

  B. Connections

  C. Block Size

  D. Throughput

  Correct Answer: D

  Explanation: The primary criteria that should be considered for performance-sensitive application shares with sequential I/O is throughput. Throughput is a measure of how much data can be transferred or processed in a given time period.

  Throughput is usually expressed in megabytes per second (MB/s) or gigabytes per second (GB/s). Sequential I/O is a type of I/O pattern where data is read or written in a sequential order, such as streaming media, backup, or archive applications. Sequential I/O typically requires high throughput to transfer large amounts of data quickly and efficiently.

  ionization deployed Files in multiple sites, including different geographical locations across the globe. The organization has the following requirements to improves their data management lifecycle:

  Provide a centralized management solution.

  Automate archiving tier policies for compliance purposes.

  Protect the data against ransomware.

  Which solution will satisfy the organization's requirements?

  A. Prims Central

  B. Data Lens

  C. Files Analytics

  Correct Answer: B

  Explanation: Data Lens can provide a centralized management solution for Files deployments in multiple sites, including different geographical locations. Data Lens can also automate archiving tier policies for compliance purposes, by allowing administrators to create policies based on file attributes, such as age, size, type, or owner, and move files to a lower-cost tier or delete them after a specified period. Data Lens can also protect the data against ransomware, by allowing administrators to block malicious file signatures from being written to the file system.

• Question 45:

  What is the network requirement for a File Analytics deployment?

  A. Must use the CVM not work

  B. Must use the Backplane network

  C. Must use the Storage-side network

  D. Must use the Client-side network

  Correct Answer: D

  Explanation: Nutanix File Analytics is a feature that provides insights into the usage and activity of file data stored on Nutanix Files. File Analytics consists of a File Analytics VM (FAVM) that runs on a Nutanix cluster and communicates with the File Server VMs (FSVMs) that host the file shares. The FAVM collects metadata and statistics from the FSVMs and displays them in a graphical user interface (GUI). The FAVM must be deployed on the same network as the FSVMs, which is the Client-side network. This network is used for communication between File Analytics and FSVMs, as well as for accessing the File Analytics UI from a web browser. The Client-side network must have DHCP enabled and must be routable from the external hosts that access the file shares and File Analytics UI.

• Question 46:

  Which two steps are required for enabling Data Lens? (Choose two.)

  A. In Prism, enable Pulse health monitoring.

  B. Configure a MyNutanix account to access the Data Lens console-

  C. Add File Services VM admin credentials to a MyNutanix account.

  D. Configure the Data Services IP in Prism Central.

  Correct Answer: AD

  Explanation: The two steps that are required for enabling Data Lens are: In Prism, enable Pulse health monitoring: Pulse is a feature that collects diagnostic and usage information from Nutanix clusters and services and sends it to Nutanix for analysis and support purposes. Pulse health monitoring is a feature that monitors the health status of Nutanix clusters and services and sends alerts to Nutanix if any issues are detected. To enable Data Lens, Pulse health monitoring must be enabled in Prism Element or Prism Central. Configure the Data Services IP in Prism Central: Data Services IP is an IP address that is used for communication between Prism Central and Data Lens. Data Services IP must be configured in Prism Central before enabling Data Lens for any file server. Data Services IP must be routable from both Prism Central and Data Lens.

• Question 47:

  An existing Object bucket was created for backups with these requirements:

  *

  WORM policy of one year

  *

  Versioning policy of one year

  *

  Lifecycle policy of three years

  A recent audit has reported a compliance failure. Data that should be retained for three years has been deleted prematurely.

  How should the administrator resolve the compliance failure within Objects?

  A. Modify the existing bucket versioning policy from one year to three years.

  B. Recreate a new bucket with the retention policy of three years.

  C. Modify the existing bucket WORM policy from one year to three years.

  D. Create a tiering policy to store deleted data on cold storage for three years.

  Correct Answer: C

  Explanation: The administrator should resolve the compliance failure within Objects by modifying the existing bucket WORM (Write-Once Read-Many) policy from one year to three years. WORM is a feature that prevents anyone from modifying or deleting data in a bucket while the policy is active. WORM policies help comply with strict data retention regulations that mandate how long specific data must be stored. The administrator can extend the WORM retention period for a bucket at any time, but cannot reduce it or delete it. By extending the WORM policy from one year to three years, the administrator can ensure that data in the bucket is retained for the required duration and not deleted prematurely.

• Question 48:

  An organization currently has a Files cluster for their office data including all department shares. Most of the data is considered cold Data and they are looking to migrate to free up space for future growth or newer data.

  The organization has recently added an additional node with more storage. In addition, the organization is using the Public Cloud for .. storage needs.

  What will be the best way to achieve this requirement?

  A. Migrate cold data from the Files to tape storage.

  B. Backup the data using a third-party software and replicate to the cloud.

  C. Setup another cluster and replicate the data with Protection Domain.

  D. Enable Smart Tiering in Files within the File Console.

  Correct Answer: D

• Question 49:

  Which scenario is causing the alert and need to be addressed to allow the entities to be protected?

  A. One or more VMs or Volume Groups belonging to the Consistency Group is part of multiple Recovery Plans configured with a Witness.

  B. One or more VMs or Volume Groups belonging to the Consistency Group may have been deleted

  C. The logical timestamp for one or more of the Volume Groups is not consistent between clusters

  D. One or more VMs or Volume Groups belonging to the Consistency Group contains state metadata

  Correct Answer: B

  Explanation: The scenario that is causing the alert and needs to be addressed to allow the entities to be protected is that one or more VMs or Volume Groups belonging to the Consistency Group may have been deleted. A Consistency Group is a logical grouping of VMs or Volume Groups that are protected together by a Protection Policy. A Protection Policy is a set of rules that defines how often snapshots are taken, how long they are retained, and where they are replicated for disaster recovery purposes. If one or more VMs or Volume Groups belonging to the Consistency Group are deleted, the Protection Policy will fail to protect them and generate an alert with the code AI303551 - VolumeGroupProtectionFailed.

• Question 50:

  An administrator is tasked with creating an Objects store with the following settings:

  Medium Performance (around 10,000 requests per second) 10 TiB capacity Versioning disabled Hosted on an AHV cluster

  immediately after creation, the administrator is asked to change the name of Objects store

  Who will the administrator achieve this request?

  A. Enable versioning and then rename the Object store, disable versioning

  B. The Objects store can only be renamed if hosted on ESXI.

  C. Delete and recreate a new Objects store with the updated name

  Correct Answer: C

  Explanation: The administrator can achieve this request by deleting and recreating a new Objects store with the updated name. Objects is a feature that allows users to create and manage object storage clusters on a Nutanix cluster. Objects clusters can provide S3- compatible access to buckets and objects for various applications and users. Objects clusters can be created and configured in Prism Central. However, once an Objects cluster is created, its name cannot be changed or edited. Therefore, the only way to change the name of an Objects cluster is to delete the existing cluster and create a new cluster with the updated name.
