NCSC-Level-1 Practice Exam Questions with Answers Nutanix Certified Services Consultant (NCSC): Level 1 Certification

A consultant successfully completes a Foundation using a flat switch. The consultant then works with the customer to move the cluster over to their production network. After the move, the CVMs and hypervisors can no longer communicate, which prevents the cluster from starting.

Which option should be used to resolve this issue?

A customer wants to know the details of network validation testing.

Where can the consultant find this information?

A consultant is planning an installation and needs to collect configuration items to be used during the install. The data needed from the customer are IP addresses, Gateway, DNS servers, and NTP Servers.

Which Cluster Deployment document must be completed with the customer?

Refer to the exhibits.

A consultant is trying to test port failover on the node shown in the first exhibit. A continuous ping test is performed to the host. The consultant shuts down one of the links, after which the host ping request times out. The consultant tries to troubleshoot the issue with the customer and sees the information shown in the second exhibit on their Cisco Switches:

What is causing the issue?

During a technical call with a customer, it is identified that this installation will be software only on Dell servers. The out-of-band management interfaces will not be given IP addresses until the consultant is onsite.

Which Foundation method should be used for this type of installation?

What reference materials should be provided to the customer during the Knowledge Transfer?

A consultant is preparing to add new nodes into an existing cluster. The current cluster AOS version is 5.8. The new expansion node is currently running AOS 5.9 code. The cluster must continue to run at its current AOS version.

Which method can be used to successfully add the node?

A consultant needs to verify the make and model of the systems that will be imaged with Foundation. The consultant does not have the Bill of Materials (BOM) available to review.

When should the consultant verify the make and model to prepare for the cluster deployment?

A consultant deploys a four-node VMware ESXi cluster and vCenter server. An HA/DRS cluster is configured for all four nodes. The customer deploys five new VMs on the cluster.

During the knowledge Transfer, a network cable on one node is removed to demonstrate HA and migration of the VMs to another host. In the HA/DRS cluster settings, the VM Restart Priority for all CVMs is set to Disabled. The customer observes warnings that the CVM on the ejected host is no longer powered on.

Which ESXi HA/DRS cluster setting is missing?

A customer wants to use NIC teaming on an ESXi host using a vSphere Standard Switch configured with the Route based on physical NIC load load balancing option. The customer does not see the option when editing the Teaming and Failover settings for the switch.

How should the consultant resolve this issue?

A consultant is deploying a Nutanix cluster at a customer location. The consultant will be deploying the latest AOS along with the latest Nutanix hardware.

Which three references should the consultant review prior to this installation? (Choose three.)

A consultant is onsite with a customer running Foundation VM (FVM) and discovers that there is no connectivity between the FVM and their laptop. The consultant verifies the following:

* The consultant’s laptop and Nutanix nodes are plugged into a flat switch.

* The laptop, switch and nodes are plugged into supported power supplies.

* The laptop network adapters and FVM are configured with their corresponding IP addresses.

What is the cause for the connectivity failure to the FVM?

A consultant creates an AHV cluster and connects the Intel X550T NICs to the top of rack switch using Twinax cables. The activity and link lights are green. The cluster cannot communicate over the 10GbE link.

What is the first command the consultant should perform to troubleshoot the issue?

A consultant is deploying a two-node cluster at a remote branch office.

Which component must be available to complete cluster configuration?

A consultant is performing a Nutanix Cluster installation on Dell XC Core hardware. The consultant decides to use Foundation Portable for Mac to perform the installation. When the consultant arrives onsite, Foundation Portable is unable to locate the new nodes.

Which log should the consultant check to troubleshoot this issue?

A customer has engaged a Nutanix consultant to deploy a cluster consisting of two NX-3460-G6 blocks. The consultant arrives at the customer site and fines the following:

* One rack with a total of 5U available

* Two ToR switches with 14 total available ports

* Dual PDUs with six available sockets

What will prevent the consultant from successfully installing the cluster?

Refer to the exhibit.

A consultant is installing AOS 5.10 and ESXi 6.5 on three nodes. During the Foundation process, ESXi 6.5 is not available as one of the choices for hypervisor.

Which solution should the consultant use?

A consultant configures an ESXi cluster which will utilize a vSphere Distributed Switch (vDS). The consultant has just migrated the first host to the dvSwitch when several alerts appear within Prism Element regarding Host-to-CVM connectivity.

What is causing these alerts?
