A financial services company is deploying a new AHV cluster and must ensure that back-end storage traffic between CVMs is physically isolated from guest VM traffic and management traffic for security compliance. The network switches are already configured with separate, non-routable VLANs for this purpose. Which Nutanix feature must the administrator configure on each node to meet this requirement?
An administrator is designing a multi-site disaster recovery solution for a critical 3-tier application. The primary site is in New York and the secondary site is in London. Due to the high latency (>100ms) between sites, synchronous replication is not feasible. The business requires an RPO of less than 15 minutes. Which Nutanix data protection technology should be used to meet these requirements?
A systems administrator is tasked with deploying a three-node scale-out Prism Central instance to manage a growing number of clusters. The deployment must be performed manually on an existing AHV cluster. Which three disk image files must be uploaded to the cluster's image service before creating the Prism Central VMs? (Select THREE)
A consultant is performing a health check on a customer's 6-node hybrid cluster. The consultant notices that the Data Resiliency Status is Critical because one node has failed. The cluster is configured with Replication Factor 2. The consultant needs to explain the immediate impact to the customer. What is the current state of the cluster's data resiliency?
A new administrator is trying to understand the different alert severities in Prism Central. They want to create an X-Play playbook that automatically opens a ServiceNow ticket only for alerts that indicate a potential for data loss or a production outage. Which alert severity level should be used as the trigger for this X-Play playbook?
True or False: When using Nutanix Metro Availability with a Witness, the automatic failover process for a protected container will be initiated if the primary site's storage becomes unavailable, even if the network link between the primary and secondary sites also fails.
**Case Study:** A retail company runs its e-commerce platform on a 10-node all-flash Nutanix AHV cluster. During peak holiday sales, the database VMs, which are part of a resource-intensive MS SQL Server cluster, experience high CPU ready times and storage latency spikes. The application team requires that these database VMs are not impacted by other, less critical workloads like web and reporting servers running on the same cluster. The current configuration places all VMs in the same resource pool. The administrator needs to implement a solution that guarantees CPU and storage resources for the database VMs, preventing resource contention from other VMs. The solution must be dynamic and not rely on pinning VMs to specific hosts. Which approach should the administrator take to meet these requirements?
An administrator needs to perform a firmware upgrade on a single node within a 5-node cluster during a maintenance window. The administrator has already used LCM to perform the firmware inventory. The cluster is healthy and has sufficient resources to tolerate one node being down. What is the correct sequence of steps to take the node offline, perform the update, and bring it back into service? 1. Use LCM to apply the firmware updates to the selected node. 2. From the CVM of the target node, run `cvm_shutdown -P now`. 3. In Prism Element, select the host and choose 'Enter Maintenance Mode'. 4. After the update, select the host and choose 'Exit Maintenance Mode'.
A new Nutanix cluster has been deployed with two 10GbE and two 1GbE NICs per node. The administrator has created a bond using the two 10GbE interfaces for all CVM and VM traffic. The two 1GbE interfaces are currently unused. The business wants to use the 1GbE interfaces for a dedicated, out-of-band backup network. What is the recommended method to configure the 1GbE interfaces for this separate network?
During a disaster recovery test, an administrator executes a 'Test Failover' for a recovery plan. Several VMs in the plan fail to power on at the recovery site, and the plan reports an error. What is a common reason for VMs to fail to power on during a 'Test Failover' operation?
