During a six-node cluster deployment, one node fails to image successfully and Foundation is unable to automatically configure the cluster. The consultant decides to manually complete cluster formation with the successful nodes, then expand the cluster with the remaining unconfigured node. Which command should be used to begin the process?
A. cluster status
B. cluster create
C. cluster start
D. cluster expand
Explanation: When deploying a multi-node Nutanix cluster, if one node fails to image and the Nutanix Foundation tool cannot configure the cluster automatically, the consultant can manually create the cluster with the nodes that were successfully imaged. The correct command to initiate this process is cluster create. This command starts the cluster services and allows for further expansion once the cluster is operational, which would include adding the node that initially failed to image.
During Foundation using a customer-provided network switch, a consultant is facing time-out issues. What action should the consultant take to resolve this issue?
A. Check jumbo frames support of the network switch.
B. Ensure the firmware of network switch is updated.
C. Enable queue depth on ports connected to nodes.
D. Disable STP on ports connected to Nutanix nodes.
A customer has requested help deploying a small single-VM instance of Prism Central in their environment that will be used for managing less than 100 guest VMs and registered to a single 5-node cluster. Due to business needs, the customer also plans to consume additional service features within the PC platform.
The consultant discusses with the customer and ultimately decides to deploy a small 3-VM instance to better account for possible resource overhead required once the additional services are enabled on the cluster.
The additional services the consultant must enable to meet the customer’s requests are as follows:
•Nutanix Disaster Recovery
•MS-SQL Server Monitonng
•Flow Microsegmentation
Why won’t the plan to deploy a small PC instance work for this customer?
A. The consultant must specify during the small PC deployment that all 3 PCVMs are configured to have 32GB of memory in order to ensure adequate overhead.
B. The additional services the customer needs cannot be supported on a small sized PC. Consultant must deploy at a minimum a large size PC.
C. Flow Microsegmentation requires an X-Large 5-VM scale-out instance of Prism Central be deployed in order to avoid constraints.
D. MS-SQL Server Monitoring requires additional licensing and a separate appliance to be deployed when using a small sized PC.
Explanation: The plan to deploy a small Prism Central (PC) instance will not work for the customer because the additional services required, especially Flow Microsegmentation and MS-SQL Server Monitoring, demand more substantial resources than a small PC instance can support. The correct approach: B. The additional services the customer needs, including Nutanix Disaster Recovery, MS-SQL Server Monitoring, and Flow Microsegmentation, require a larger resource pool for adequate performance and functionality, making a minimum of a large size PC deployment necessary. Options C and D point to specific requirements but are incorrect in stating the exact size or additional licensing for MS-SQL alone; rather, the overall resource demand across services necessitates a larger PC deployment.References: Nutanix Prism Central Deployment Guide, Nutanix Services Specifications.
Which two components are required to validate and Foundation a cluster with ESXi as the hypervisor? (Choose two.)
A. ISO image for ESXi
B. iso_whitelist.json
C. Phoenix Installation Tool
D. Latest NCC LCM Bundle
An administrator is using Nutanix Move to migrate a Windows VM from ESXi to AHV. Automated guest preparation is failing with an error:
Account has UAC enabled error
The administrator is using the local built-in administrator account for the Windows VM Admin approval mode must remain enabled.
What should the administrator do to continue with the migration with Nutanix Move?
A. Use a Domain Admin account for the Windows VM
B. Reboot the Windows VM and try the migration again
C. Follow manual VM preparation guidelines
D. Place Windows VM in Maintenance Mode
A consultant discovers that while the Foundation VM and the consultant's laptop are able to ping each other nodes are rea discovered while trying to run Foundation on the customer's network. What should the consultant do to resolve the issue?
A. Connect to same switch as the cluster and ping.
B. Install Java on the Foundation VM.
C. Enable IPv6 and multicast on the switch.
D. Enable IPv6 and multicast on the laptop.
Explanation: When Foundation VM and a laptop can ping each other but nodes are not being discovered, it suggests a network protocol issue. The consultant should enable IPv6 and multicast on the switch. Multicast is required for node discovery in many environments, especially when using Nutanix Foundation, as it helps in the detection and communication between nodes and the Foundation VM.
Where in the Support Portal can it be determined if a version of AOS is supported on a particular hardware platform.
A. Solution Documentation
B. Upgrade Paths
C. Hardware Compatibility Lists
D. Compatibility and Interoperability Matrix
Explanation: To determine if a version of Acropolis Operating System (AOS) is supported on a specific hardware platform, the "Compatibility and Interoperability Matrix" section of the Nutanix Support Portal should be consulted. This resource provides detailed information on supported hardware for different AOS versions, ensuring that all components are compatible and supported for optimal operation.

A customer has two mission-critical applications and needs to have them backed up to a remote location. The remote location is connected using a leased line and has an average latency of 7 ms. Which Nutanix technology will provide the shortest RPO possible?
A. NearSync
B. Leap
C. Metro Availability
D. Asyn&DR
As a consultant concludes the project for deploying a new cluster, the customer expresses plans to repeat the process in-house for one of the company's dark site locations.
What three items can the consultant deliver in closing to help ensure customer's success in deploying and supporting Nutanix clusters?
A. . Creating an account for access to Nutanix Support Portal · External USB drive . Offline NCC bundle
B. · A trial license activation code for Prism Starter . Creating an account for access to Nutanix Support Portal . Guide for dark site deployments using Nutanix standards
C. . Generating cluster licenses . What are binaries and where can they be downloaded . Creating an account for accessing the Nutanix Support Portal
D. · External USB drive . Access to Nutanix FTP . Encrypted key required for accessing clusters
An administrator receives a notification that storage in a Nutanix cluster is unavailable. The cluster consists of five nodes and is configured with a Fault-Tolerance level of 1 (FT-1).
Upon investigation, the administrator finds the following:
• All AHV hosts are powered on and the CVMs are running
• Nodes A, B, and C are connected to one top of rack switch
• Nodes D and E are connected to a second top of rack switch
• The cluster status command run on Node A shows that CVM services on nodes D and E are down
Which issue is causing the storage outage?
A. The default gateway for the CVMs and AHV hosts is down.
B. The switch connecting Nodes D and E is down.
C. The genesis process is down on both Nodes D and E.
D. Nodes D and E are in maintenance mode.
Based on customer requirements, a consultant conducted an AHV cluster deployment. Each node is configured with four NICs.
Which two components should the consultant manually update in the As-Built Guide? (Choose two.)
A. Node Port Layout Diagram
B. Network Cabling Diagram
C. Logical Design Diagram
D. Site installation Diagram
