• Storage performance status

Which tool should be used to perform this test?

Refer to the exhibits.

An administrator has reported that a new VM is not performing well.

After analyzing the information presented in the exhibits, which option shows the best conclusion regarding this workload?

While creating an image placement policy on the organizations AOS 5.15-based Nutanix cluster, the administrator wants to ensure there are no restrictions on using the selected images on clusters outside of the identified set.

What type of Policy Enforcement must the administrator choose?

An administrator migrates a VM onto a new Nutanix cluster. After the migration, the administrator observes the following conditions:

• Cluster memory utilization: 64%

• Cluster CPU utilization: 19%

• Cluster storage utilization: 32%

• Average VM CPU utilization: 25%

• Average VM CPU ready%: 24%

• Average VM memory utilization: 60%

Which two changes should the administrator make to improve VM performance? (Choose two.)

The networking team makes changes to the Top of Rack switches to which the Nutanix cluster are attached. A few VMs are able to communicate with each other on the same node but are unable to connect to other parts of the network.

What is the likely cause of this issue?

An administrator is configuring an All Flash cluster to support the following workloads:

• Full clone virtual desktops

• Hadoop

• Write heavy databases

Which three correct configuration options should the administrator use to meet the item requirements? (Choose three.)

For each procedure, indicate whether it is a correct or incorrect procedure that must be configured to meet the item requirements using the drop-down option.

A customer needs a DR solution designed around the following requirements:

• There are 8 ms of latency between Sites A and B

• The administrator needs the shortest RPO/RTO possible

• Application consistent snapshots are required

• Use of Nutanix VSS

Which Data Protection Method should be used?

An administrator is monitoring the Nutanix v5.15-based AOS cluster performance logs and notices that a SQL server VM is greatly exceeding its intended maximum IOPS. The administrator has confirmed that a QoS policy was previously created for the group of VMs this server is a member of.

What are two reasons that this VM would exceed its maximum configured IOPS from the QoS Policy? (Choose two.)

A system administrator needs to shut down an AHV node in a Nutanix cluster without causing service disruption. The administrator checks data resiliency and verifies that the cluster can tolerate a node down.

Which three steps should the administrator perform next? (Choose three.)

An administrator needs to create and start five new VMs for a Data Analytics Project (OLAP). The VM Profile is as follows:

• vCPU:4

• vRAM: 64 GB

• vDisk: 1.5 TB

Each of the four nodes of the Nutanix cluster has the following:

• 24 vCPU. 20% overall usage

• 192 GB RAM, 60% overall usage

• 2xl920GBSSD

• 4x 2 TB HDD

At cluster level, there is a single RF2 container that is 30% utilized and has an extent store capacity of 13.5 TB.

Which component requires administrator attention?

An administrator is responsible for the following Nutanix Enterprise Cloud environment:

• A central datacenter with a 20-node cluster with 1.5PB of storage

• Five remote sites each with a 4-node cluster with 200TB storage

The remote sites are connected to the datacenter via 1GB links with an average latency of 6 ms RTT. What is the minimum RPO the administrator can achieve for this environment?

An administrator needs to expand a cluster based on AHV and running on Nutanix G5 hardware with a new Nutanix G7 system. The cluster is running AOS 5.10 but the operation fails when expanding the cluster. AOS is running on the new system. There are no issues discovering the node.

Why is the operation failing?

An administrator wants to utilize Network Visualization to monitor the physical and logical network on the Nutanix cluster. The first-hop switch has LLDP enabled. The network switch information is still not being displayed.

What is causing this problem?

A customer has a primary datacenter with 12 Nutanix blocks distributed across three racks. The customer wants to achieve the most resiliency possible. They also have a datacenter in a branch office that is 400 kilometers away from the primary datacenter.

Which optimization should be made to this configuration to improve performance?

An administrator is planning to deploy a Nutanix cluster to support a few high-performance VMs. This deployment will have the following considerations:

• Individual VMs will likely generate network throughputs in the range of 90-100Mbps

• Due to the configuration of the VMs, it is unlikely that a node will host more than one or two of them at a time

• Individual VMs will communicate with only a few (one or two) remote hosts at a time

• Multicast will not be used in the environment

• The hosts are connected via two 1GbE network connections

How should the administrator configure the network bonds to meet this requirement while maintaining the simplest switch configuration?
