Question 1

An administrator has deployed a new Files cluster within a Windows Environment.

After some days, he Files environment is not able to synchronize users with the Active Directory server anymore. The administrator observes a large time difference between the Files environment and the Active Directory Server that is responsible for the behavior.

How should the administrator prevent the Files environment and the AD Server from having such a time difference in future?

AUse the same NTP Servers for the File environment and the AD Server.

BUse 0.pool.ntp.org as the NTP Server for the AD Server.

CUse 0.pool.ntp.org as the NTP Server for the Files environment.

DConnect to every FSVM and edit the time manually.

Answer : A

The administrator should prevent the Files environment and the AD Server from having such a time difference in future by using the same NTP Servers for the File environment and the AD Server. NTP (Network Time Protocol) is a protocol that synchronizes the clocks of devices on a network with a reliable time source. NTP Servers are devices that provide accurate time information to other devices on a network. By using the same NTP Servers for the File environment and the AD Server, the administrator can ensure that they have consistent and accurate time settings and avoid any synchronization issues or errors.Reference:Nutanix Files Administration Guide, page 32; Nutanix Files Troubleshooting Guide

Question 2

Life Cycle manager must the compatible versions of which two components before installing or upgrading Files? (Choose two.)

AActive Directory Services

BNutanix Cluster Check

CFile Server Mobile

DAcropolis Operating System

Answer : B

Before installing or upgrading Files, Life Cycle Manager (LCM) must check the compatibility versions of Nutanix Cluster Check (NCC) and Acropolis Operating System (AOS). NCC is a framework of scripts that helps diagnose cluster health, and AOS is the core operating system that runs on each node in a Nutanix cluster. LCM will not proceed with the installation or upgrade if NCC or AOS versions are incompatible with Files. Reference: Nutanix Files Administration Guide, Nutanix Cluster Check Guide

Question 3

An administrator has created a volume and needs to attach it to a windows host a via iSCSI. The data Services IP has been configured in the MS iSCSI Initiator, but no target are visible.

What is most likely the cause this issue?

AThe host' s IP address is not authorized to access the volume.

BThe CHAP password configured on the client is incorrect.

CThe CHAP Authentication has not been configured on the client.

DThe host's IQN is not authorized to access to the volume.

Answer : D

Nutanix Volumes uses IQN-based authorization to control access to volumes. The administrator must specify the IQN of the host that needs to access the volume when creating or editing the volume.If the host's IQN is not authorized, it will not be able to see the target in the MS iSCSI Initiator3.

Question 4

Which ransomware prevention solution for Files is best when the list of malicious file signatures to block is greater than 300?

AThird-party solution

BFlow Security Central

CData Lens

DFile Analytics

Answer : A

Nutanix Files provides a built-in ransomware prevention feature that allows administrators to block malicious file signatures from being written to the file system. However, this feature has a limit of 300 signatures per share or export.If the list of malicious file signatures to block is greater than 300, a third-party solution is recommended2.

Question 5

An administrator has been asked to confirm the ability of a physical windows Server 2019 host to boot from storage on a Nutanix AOS cluster.

Which statement is true regarding this confirmation by the administrator?

APhysical servers may boot from an object bucket from the data services IP and MPIO is required.

BPhysical servers may boot from a volume group from the data services IP and MPIO is not required.

CPhysical servers may boot from a volume group from the data services IP and MPIO is

DPhysical servers may boot from an object bucket from the data services IP address and MPIO is not required.

Answer : C

Nutanix Volumes allows physical servers to boot from a volume group that is exposed as an iSCSI target from the data services IP. To ensure high availability and load balancing, multipath I/O (MPIO) is required on the physical server.Object buckets cannot be used for booting physical servers1.

Question 6

What is a mandatory criterion for configuring Smart Tier?

AVPC name

BTarget URL over HTTP

CCertificate

DAccess and secret keys

Answer : D

Question 7

What is the minimum and maximum file size limitations for Smart Tiering?

A64 KiB minimum and 15 TiB maximum

B128 IOB minimum and 5 TiB maximum

C64 KiB minimum and 5 TiB maximum

D128 KiB minimum and 13 TiB maximum

Answer : C

Smart Tiering is a feature that allows Files to tier data across different storage tiers based on the file size and access frequency.Smart Tiering supports files with a minimum size of 64 KiB and a maximum size of 5 TiB2. Reference: Nutanix Files Administration Guide2
