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. Reference: Nutanix Files Administration Guide2

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. Reference: Nutanix Volumes Administration Guide1

Question 6

An organization currently has two Objects instances deployed between two sites. Both instances are managed via manage the same Prism Central to simplify management.

The organization has a critical application with all data in a bucket that needs to be replicated to the secondary site for DR purposes. The replication needs to be asynchronous, including al delete the marker versions.

ACreate a Bucket replication rule, set the destination Objects instances.

BWith Object Browser, upload the data at the destination site.

CLeverage the Objects Baseline Replication Tool from a Linus VM

DUse a protection Domain to replicate the objects Volume Group.

Answer : A

The administrator can achieve this requirement by creating a bucket replication rule and setting the destination Objects instance. Bucket replication is a feature that allows administrators to replicate data from one bucket to another bucket on a different Objects instance for disaster recovery or data migration purposes. Bucket replication can be configured with various parameters, such as replication mode, replication frequency, replication status, etc. Bucket replication can also replicate all versions of objects, including delete markers, which are special versions that indicate that an object has been deleted. By creating a bucket replication rule and setting the destination Objects instance, the administrator can replicate data from one Objects instance to another asynchronously, including all delete markers and versions.Reference:Nutanix Objects User Guide, page 19; Nutanix Objects Solution Guide, page 9

Question 7

An administrator is looking for a tool that includes these features:

* Permission Denials

* Top 5 Active Users

* Top 5 Accessed Files

* File Distribution by Type

Nutanix tool should the administrator choose?

AFile Server Manager

BPrism Central

CFile Analytics

DFiles Console

Answer : C

The tool that includes these features is File Analytics. File Analytics is a feature that provides insights into the usage and activity of file data stored on Files. File Analytics consists of a File Analytics VM (FAVM) that runs on a Nutanix cluster and communicates with the File Server VMs (FSVMs) that host the file shares. File Analytics can display various reports and dashboards that include these features:

Permission Denials: This report shows the number of permission denied events for file operations, such as read, write, delete, etc., along with the user, file, share, and server details.

Top 5 Active Users: This dashboard shows the top five users who performed the most file operations in a given time period, along with the number and type of operations.

Top 5 Accessed Files: This dashboard shows the top five files that were accessed the most in a given time period, along with the number of accesses and the file details.

File Distribution by Type: This dashboard shows the distribution of files by their type or extension, such as PDF, DOCX, JPG, etc., along with the number and size of files for each type.Reference:Nutanix Files Administration Guide, page 93; Nutanix File Analytics User Guide
