Where in the Support Portal is the Best Practices guide for vSphere Networking located?

What is the minimum number of nodes required for a Nutanix Cluster to support Replication Factor 3 (RF3) on a storage container?

An administrator is deploying an application that requires maximum I/O throughput for scratch data. The administrator is concerned that the throughput requirement is greater than what can be provided by asingle cluster node.

What should the administrator do to meet this requirement?

An administrator receives reports about a Nutanix environment. The investigation finds the following;

• VMs are experiencing very high latency

• Each node is equipped with a single SSD, utilized at 95%

• Each node is equipped with three HDDs, utilized at 40%

Why are the guest VMs experiencing high latency?

An administrator is performing a set of routine checks and notes that Prism Central is running with 4 vCPUs and 21 GB RAM. The organizations environment is based on two Nutanix clusters with 170 VMs plus a Legacy vSphere infrastructure. No manual changes have been done on Prism Central VM.

Which configuration justifies the current Prism Central configuration?

During the Foundation imaging process, nodes are successfully imaged, but the cluster creation fails.

Which log should the consultant review to determine the cause?

A customer buys ultimate licensing and wants to use the built-in Nutanix software encryption on their new AHV cluster. The customer needs to create three storage containers and asks the consultant to complete the process as fast as possible.

In which order should the cluster be deployed?

After a consultant runs Foundation, the imaging process fails.

In which two locations can the consultant find the logs? (Choose two.)

An administrator needs to maximize storage potential in a six-node cluster. The container is configured with the following:

• Post-process compression
• Capacity deduplication

What should the administrator configure to increase space savings?

An administrator needs to forecast infrastructure requirements for a new program and its associated applications. Prior to the projected start of the new program, all existing applications will be decommissioned.

How should the administrator perform this task?

An organization subscribes to field advisories from the Nutanix support portal. An administrator receives an email about a rare problem that could cause cluster instability and affect the entire AOS cluster. The organization is running Vmware vsphere 6.x on Nutanix.

What action should be taken to resolve this issue?

A Nutanix cluster has 10TB usable storage. The customer wants to create a 100GB datastore for ISO images to eliminate too much storage being consumed by unnecessary images.

Which setting should be used to accomplish this goal?

In a 20-node ESXi deployment, the customer needs additional resiliency to survive the loss of two nodes concurrently.

Which configuration should the consultant use to ensure that the appropriate resources are available?

A consultant successfully completes a Foundation using a flat switch. The consultant then works with the customer to move the cluster over to their production network. After the move, the CVMs and hypervisors can no longer communicate, which prevents the cluster from starting.

Which option should be used to resolve this issue?

A consultant creates a Windows VM after installing a new Nutanix cluster running AHV. The consultant has statically assigned an IP address to the VM but it is unable to communicate on the network.

Which action should the consultant take to resolve this issue?

Refer to the exhibit.

An administrator logs in to Prism and sees the status shown in the exhibit within the Hardware Diagram section.

What should the administrator do?

A VM does not have enough resources for the demand,which leads to performance bottlenecks. The VM is exhibiting one or more of following baseline values, based on the past 30 days:

• CPU usage > 90% (moderate), 95% (high)

• CPU ready time > 5%, 10%

• Memory usage > 90%, 95%

• Memory swap rate > 0Kbps (no moderate value)

Which type of VM is being described?

Refer to the exhibit.

An administrator is commissioning a Nutanix Enterprise Cloud. Once the user VMs have been deployed and are running, the administrator finds that VMs on the same host are able to communicate, but are unable to communicate between hosts.

What must be changed to enable full inter-VM communications?

An administrator iscurrently using both 10g uplink with LACP and balance-tcp. A single VM should not be allowed to use more than a single 10G uplink, and both uplinks should be utilized.

Which two command should be used to configure the bond? (choose two)

An administrator deletes a large amount of data from a Volume Group presented to a Linux VM. The administrator notices that the deleted data has not been reclaimed as usable storage.

Whataction should be taken to reclaim the storage capacity?

A customer wants to know the details of network validation testing.

Where can the consultant find this information?

After installation, network ports are properly configured with the default active-backup bonding.

One 10GbE port goes to switch 1. Another 10GbE port goes to switch 2. A consultant tests failover by manually pulling one of the cables and notices it is taking too much time to failover, which is causing excessive packet loss.

What should the consultant enable to resolve this issue?

A consultant notices while assigning VLAN tags to hosts and CVMs in a running cluster, that Prism Element displays alerts indicating a node is down.

What should the consultant do to prevent these alerts?

A customer wants to expand an existing cluster with three additional nodes. After running the Foundation process on the new nodes, the customer realizes that the wrong IPs where used and the nodes are configured on a different network. The customer decides to create a new cluster instead.

Which method should be used to recreate the cluster?

An administrator deploys Exchange on a Nutanix cluster. The administrator creates two containers with RF2 configuration:

• One container for Exchange

• One container for the other VMs

The Exchange VM isexperiencing I/O performance issues.

Which changes to Storage Optimization should be used on the Exchange container to enhance I/O performance?

A consultant creates an AHV cluster and connects the Intel X550T NICs to the top of rack switch using Twinax cables. The activity and link lights are green. The cluster cannot communicate over the 10GbE link.

What is the first command the consultant should perform to troubleshoot the issue?

A consultant is preparing to add new nodes into an existing cluster. The current cluster AOS version is 5.8. The new expansion node is currently running AOS 5.9 code. The cluster must continue to run at its current AOS version.

Which method can be used to successfully add the node?

An administrator is managing multiple Windows and Linux VMs connected to Nutanix Volumes. The Linux VMs are experiencing intermittent connectivity issues. The Windows VMs do not experience the same issue.

Which option should the administrator use to resolve this issue?
