An administrator needs to add pre-create tasks and install package in the VM, but all options are grayed out.
What is the issue?
Answer : D
The options for adding pre-create tasks and installing packages in the VM are grayed out because there are no credentials added yet. Nutanix Calm requires VM credentials to perform package installations and pre/post tasks, as these actions need access to the VM to execute the necessary commands and scripts.

The user would like to take a snapshot, expand the vDisk and get the result with a Slack message triggered by a pipeline CI/CD.
What trigger should be used?
Answer : D
To trigger a series of actions (taking a snapshot, expanding the vDisk, and sending a Slack message) from a pipeline CI/CD, the appropriate trigger to use is 'Webhook.' Webhooks allow external systems, such as CI/CD pipelines, to trigger playbooks in Nutanix Calm via HTTP requests, making them suitable for integrating with CI/CD tools.

After an application is no longer needed, a user puts in a ticket to delete the VM. The administrator finds the VM in Prism Central and deletes it, but then realize that it was a Self-Service (formerly Calm) managed VM.
When the administrator attempts the application in Self-Service using the Delete action, it fails because the Substrate cannot be found.
How would the administrator delete the application from management?
Answer : B
When a VM managed by Self-Service (formerly Calm) is deleted manually from Prism Central, the associated application in Self-Service cannot be deleted using the standard delete action because the substrate is no longer present. In this scenario, the administrator should use the 'Soft Delete' action in Self-Service, which will remove the application from management without requiring the substrate to be present.

A developer Is building and testing a new Blueprint to deploy a Window Server VM on AHV. During one of the test runs, the application build fails.
The developer asks an administrator to investigate the failure. After careful review, the administrator finds this error message on a task that execute a Poweredshell script.
What is the cause of this error message?
Answer : B
The error message 'A specified logon session does not exist. It may already have been terminated' is often caused by the lack of CredSSP (Credential Security Support Provider) being enabled on the Windows Operating System. CredSSP is necessary for certain remote operations, including executing PowerShell scripts remotely.
