NCM-MCI Online Practice Questions and Answers

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. The VM is missing the required snapshot needed to implement the QoS Policy.

B. The VM was not created as an AFS virtual machine.

C. The SQL Server VM has volume groups attached.

D. It was cloned from another SQL Server VM that was a member of the QoS Policy.

An administrator needs to deploy an application with a large amount of data connected via Nutanix Volumes. Which two actions should the administrator take when designing the Volume Group? (Choose two.)

A. Use multiple subnets for iSCSI traffic

B. Enable RSS (Receive Side Scaling)

C. Enable thick provisioning on the Volume Group(s)

D. Distribute workload across multiple virtual disks

An administrator configure Active Directory (AD) authentication for their Nutanix environment. When login in using an AD user account, the login process takes more than one minute to complete. No delay occurs when logging a local account. What should the administrator confirm to resolve this issue?

A. The user search base for the group is configured correctly

B. The domain controller being used is configured as a global catalog server.

C. Active directory lookups are configured to use Non-Recursive mode.

D. The service Account Username is correct for the domain.

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

1.

Cluster memory utilization: 64%

2.

Cluster CPU utilization: 19%

3.

Cluster storage utilization: 32%

4.

Average VM CPU utilization: 25%

5.

Average VM CPU ready%: 24%

6.

Average VM memory utilization: 60%

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

A. Add more memory to the VMs.

B. Reduce the number of vCPUs assigned to VMs.

C. Replace high core count CPUs with high clock rate CPUs. (also can be but is physical invas)

D. Reduce the number of VMs on the hosts.

An administrator responsible for a VDI environment needs to investigate reports of slow logins. The administrator finds that increasing the number of vCPUs from 2 to 4 will reduce the login times. Production workloads are consuming 75% of the host CPU on the cluster. The administrator increases the vCPU count on all of the VDI VMs.

What are two impacts on the cluster? (Choose two.)

A. Increase CPU utilization%

B. Increase CPU ready%

C. Increase memory utilization%

D. Increasing CPU counts will decrease memory utilization

A systems administrator needs to add more VMs to their Nutanix cluster.

Which two actions should the administrator perform to determine if the current cluster can accommodate the new VMs? (Choose two.)

A. Perform an Inventory with Life Cycle Management.

B. Determine utilization with Cluster Runway.

C. Enable Deduplication and Erasure Coding.

D. Utilize Optimize Resources for VM efficiency.

Refer to the exhibit.

After performing ESXi to AHV conversion on a cluster, the alerts shown in the exhibit display on Prism. What should the administrator do to resolve this issue efficiently?

A. Remove the VMs. create a new Protection Domain, and add VMs to it

B. Remove VMs from the Protection Domain and add them back in.

C. Delete the Protection Domain, create a new Protection Domain, and add the VMs to it

D. Create a new Protection Domain and add the VMs to rt.

An organization is running a Nutanix Cluster based on AOS 5.10.x and VMware vSphere 6.7. Currently, the CVM network is segmented and Storage only nodes not present.

A new security project based on NSX is coming. VMware Distributed Virtual Switches are required. The administrator needs to prepare the environment for the new project.

Which step should the administrator use to initiate the project?

A. Enable Nutanix Flow at the Prism Central Level

B. Manually disable CVM network Segmentation

C. Convert storage only nodes into vSphere nodes

D. Enable Jumbo Frames to accommodate network frames

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. The ISL between switches is not configured.

B. SNMP is not configured properly.

C. br0 and br1 are not defined.

D. The cluster is using RDMA-enabled NICs.

An administrator deletes a large amount of data from a Volume Group presented to a Linux VM. The administrator notices that the deleted data has not been reclaimed as usable storage. What action should be taken to reclaim the storage capacity?

A. Shrink the Volume Group that is associated with the Linux VM

B. Unmount the Volume Group and then Remount the Volume Group

C. Enable the unman operation on the Linux VM

D. Run Defrag on the Linux VM
