Question 1

An administrator needs to set up a protection policy in preparation for a Disaster Recovery (DR) test.

What is the first step required to satisfy this task?

AInstall NGT (Nutanix Guest Tools) on VMs where applications are supported.

BCreate an Availability Zone between Production and DR.

CConvert the source cluster to AHV.

DCreate a point-in-time snapshot of source VMs.

Answer : B

For Nutanix Disaster Recovery (DR) protection policies, the first step is to establish a connection between the Production cluster and the DR site, which is done by creating an Availability Zone (AZ) (Option B).

Availability Zones (AZs) define remote sites for replication and are a requirement for configuring protection domains and disaster recovery plans.

Option A (Installing NGT) is not necessary for setting up replication but is useful for application-consistent snapshots.

Option C (Converting the source cluster to AHV) is not required, as Nutanix supports cross-hypervisor DR between ESXi and AHV.

Option D (Creating a point-in-time snapshot) is a later step after setting up the Availability Zone and Protection Policy.

Question 2

What is the best way to automate the deployment of 100 Linux VMs with similar configurations but different hostnames, local configurations, and install packages?

AManual configuration

BCloud-Init configuration

CSysPrep Configuration

DVM template configuration

Answer : B

Question 3

An administrator is tasked with ensuring the resiliency of Tier-1 workloads. As such, the administrator creates a Protection Policy with a crash-consistent snapshot period that meets RPO while maintaining 10 recovery points locally and 5 at DR location.

Since it is difficult to quantify how long a DR event will last, management wants the Tier-1 workloads to always have 10 recovery points locally.

How can this be achieved logically and most efficiently?

AChange retentions within the Protection Policy to be 10 at both locations and Save Schedule.

BEnable Reverse Retention within the Protection Policy Schedule.

CUtilize a script that executes an API to take the requisite number of recovery points post- DR.

DPost DR, recreate the Protection Policy with new/updated values.

Answer : B

Question 4

An administrator is managing an environment based on two different AHV-based and ESXi-based clusters. Workloads are evenly distributed and in a healthy state.

A Linux VM running on ESXi is not performing well at the storage level and is configured as follows:

* VCPU: 8

* VRAM: 32

* vDisk: 3, first 100 GB, second 250 GB, third 250 GB

What is the easiest way to test VM performance, while minimizing downtime?

AIncrease the number of vCPUs.

BMigrate the VM to the AHV cluster.

CEnable vDisk sharding at AOS level.

DCollapse the second and the third disk into a single one

Answer : B

Question 5

A company is evaluating Nutanix Disaster Recovery (DR) to protect multiple business-critical applications. Some applications are built using a 3-tier architecture and have interdependencies.

After failover, the VM's static IP address is retained, but DNS configuration is lost.

How should an administrator proceed to resolve this issue?

AConfigure Self-Service Restore.

BCreate custom in-guest scripts to preserve the statically assigned DNS IP addresses.

CInstall Network Manager command-line tool (nncli) in the protected Windows VMs.

DConfigure a Protection Domain.

Answer : B

During failover in Nutanix Disaster Recovery, VMs retain their static IPs but may lose DNS settings if the network configuration at the DR site is different from the primary site.

Option B (Create custom in-guest scripts) is correct:

Custom scripts allow Windows or Linux VMs to restore DNS settings automatically after failover.

These scripts can be executed using post-failover automation in Nutanix DR policies.

Option A (Self-Service Restore) is incorrect:

Self-Service Restore is used for end-user recovery of deleted files, not for network settings.

Option C (nncli tool) is incorrect:

The nncli tool is used for network troubleshooting, but it does not automatically restore DNS settings.

Option D (Configure a Protection Domain) is incorrect:

Protection Domains define replication policies, but they do not fix DNS settings after failover.

Question 6

Which prerequisite should be met before any LCM updates are performed?

AUpdate AOS

BUpdate Foundation

CUpdate AHV

DUpdate BIOS

Answer : A

Question 7

An administrator is executing a storage performance test between two Microsoft Windows VMs. The first VM was deployed by using a template, while the second one was created from scratch.

Results show that VMs have very different metrics when using the same performance test. The first VM reaches 8000 IOPS, while the second struggles reaching 500/800 IOPS. Currently the AHV cluster is not under pressure.

How can the administrator determine why these results were produced?

AVerify both VMs have installed Nutanix Guest Tools.

BEnable AHV Turbo on the second VM.

CCompare vDisk bus type between VMs.

DCheck number of VCPUs assigned to VMs
