Nutanix Nutanix Certifications NCP-US Questions & Answers

• Question 51:

  Refer to the exhibit.

  

  What does the `'X'' represent on the icon?

  A. Share Disconnected File

  B. Corrupt ISO

  C. Distributed shared file

  D. Tiered File

  Correct Answer: C

  The "X" on the icon represents a distributed shared file, which is a file that belongs to a distributed share or export. A distributed share or export is a type of SMB share or NFS export that distributes the hosting of top-level directories across multiple FSVMs. The "X" indicates that the file is not hosted by the current FSVM, but by another FSVM in the cluster. The "X" also helps to identify which files are eligible for migration when using the Nutanix Files Migration Tool.

• Question 52:

  An administrator has been directed to configure Volumes to Nutanix's best practices for security.

  What should the administrate! do to be compliant?

  A. Enable at-rest encryption on Volume Groups.

  B. Configure Volume Groups to use CHAP.

  C. Use data services IP for external host connectivity.

  D. Segment iSCSI traffic to a physically separate network.

  Correct Answer: B

  Explanation: Nutanix Volumes is a feature that allows users to create and manage block storage devices (volume groups) on a Nutanix cluster. Volume groups can be accessed by external hosts using the iSCSI protocol. To secure volume groups from unauthorized access, Nutanix recommends configuring CHAP (Challenge-Handshake Authentication Protocol) for each volume group in Prism Element. CHAP is a security feature that authenticates iSCSI initiators and targets before allowing access to a volume group. CHAP requires both the initiator and the target to have a shared secret (a password) that is used to generate a challenge and a response during the authentication process. CHAP can prevent unauthorized access to volume groups and protect data from malicious attacks. References: Nutanix Volumes Administration Guide, page 25; Nutanix Volumes Security Guide

• Question 53:

  Which user is authorized to deploy File Analytics?

  A. Prism Central administrator

  B. AD user mapped to a Prism admin role

  C. Prism Element administrator

  D. AD user mapped to a Cluster admin role

  Correct Answer: A

  Explanation: The user that is authorized to deploy File Analytics is Prism Central administrator. Prism Central is a web-based user interface that allows administrators to manage multiple Nutanix clusters and services, including Files and File Analytics. Prism Central administrator is a user role that has full access and control over all Prism Central features and functions. To deploy File Analytics, the user must log in to Prism Central as a Prism Central administrator and follow the steps in the File Analytics Deployment wizard.

• Question 54:

  An administrator has received an alert AI303551 ?VolumeGroupProtectionFailed details of alerts as follows:

  Which error logs should the administrator be reviewing to determine why the relative service is down:

  A. solver.log

  B. arithmos.ERROR

  Correct Answer: B

  Explanation: The error log that the administrator should review to determine why the relative service is down is arithmos.ERROR. Arithmos is a service that runs on each CVM and provides volume group protection functionality for Volumes. Volume group protection is a feature that allows administrators to create protection policies for volume groups, which define how often snapshots are taken, how long they are retained, and where they are replicated. If arithmos.ERROR log shows any errors or exceptions related to volume group protection, it can indicate that the relative service is down or not functioning properly.

• Question 55:

  An administrator needs to allow individual users to restore files and folders hosted in Files.

  How can the administrator meet this requirement?

  A. Configure a Protection Domain for the shares/exports.

  B. Configure a Protection Domain on the FSVMs.

  C. Enable Self-Service Restore on shares/exports.

  D. Enable Self-Service Restore on the FSVMs.

  Correct Answer: C

  Explanation: Self-Service Restore (SSR) is a feature that allows individual users to restore files and folders hosted in Files without requiring administrator intervention. SSR can be enabled on a per-share or per-export basis, and users can access the snapshots of their data through a web portal or a Windows client application1.

• Question 56:

  Which Data Lens feature maximizes the available file server space by moving cold data from the file server to an object store?

  A. Backup

  B. Versioning

  C. Smart Tier

  D. Smart DR

  Correct Answer: C

  Explanation: The Data Lens feature that maximizes the available file server space by moving cold data from the file server to an object store is Smart Tier. Smart Tier is a feature that allows administrators to tier data from Files to cloud storage based on file age, file size, and file type. Smart Tier can help reduce the storage cost and optimize the performance of Files. Smart Tier can move cold data, which is data that has not been accessed or modified for a long time, from the file server to an object store, such as AWS Standard or Azure Blob, and free up the file server space for hot data, which is data that is frequently accessed or modified.

• Question 57:

  Which port is required between a CVM or Prism Central to insights,nutanix.com for Data Lens configuration?

  A. 80

  B. 443

  C. 8443

  D. 9440

  Correct Answer: B

  Explanation: Data Lens is a SaaS that provides file analytics and reporting, anomaly detection, audit trails, ransomware protection features, and tiering management for Nutanix Files. To configure Data Lens, one of the network requirements is to allow HTTPS (port 443) traffic between a CVM or Prism Central to insights.nutanix.com. This allows Data Lens to collect metadata and statistics from the FSVMs and display them in a graphical user interface.

  C. Files Manager

  D. Data Lens

  Correct Answer: D

  Explanation: Data Lens is a feature that provides insights into the data stored in Files across multiple sites, including different geographical locations. Data Lens allows administrators to monitor usage, performance, capacity, and growth trends for all Files deployments globally. Data Lens also provides reports on file types, sizes, owners, permissions, and access patterns3. References: Nutanix Data Lens Administration Guide3

• Question 59:

  Which two platform are currently supported for Smart Tiering? (Choose two.)

  A. Google Cloud Storage

  B. AWS Standard

  C. Wasabi

  D. Azure Blob

  Correct Answer: BD

  Explanation: The two platforms that are currently supported for Smart Tiering are AWS Standard and Azure Blob. Smart Tiering is a feature that allows administrators to tier data from Files to cloud storage based on file age, file size, and file type. Smart Tiering can help reduce the storage cost and optimize the performance of Files. Smart Tiering currently supports AWS Standard and Azure Blob as the cloud storage platforms, and more platforms will be added in the future.

• Question 60:

  An administrator ha having difficulty enabling Data Lens for a file server.

  What is the most likely cause of this issue?

  A. The file server has blacklisted file types.

  B. SSR is enabled on the file server.

  C. The file server has been cloned.

  D. The file server is in a Protection Domain.

  Correct Answer: C

  Explanation: The most likely cause of this issue is that the file server has been cloned. Cloning a file server is not a supported operation and can cause various problems, such as Data Lens not being able to enable or disable for the cloned file server. To avoid this issue, the administrator should use the scale-out feature to add more FSVMs to an existing file server, or create a new file server from scratch.
