NCM-MCI Nutanix Certified Master - Multicloud Infrastructure Practice Questions

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 is experiencing I/O performance issues.

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

An administrator learns that some security settings in a cluster have been changed. The environment is out of compliance with required policies.

Which function should be used to revert any settings that have changed from the defaults and prevent further violations?

A customer with a four-node RF2 cluster is adding application VMs to their system. After adding these Vms, the Prism dashboard shows 81% storage utilization.

What is the consequence of running the cluster at 81% storage utilization?

An administrator has two clusters: Site A and Site B. Async DR is configured between the clusters as follows:

Site A is the Primary Site

Site B is the Secondary inactive Site, no VMs running

Site A is fully in Production

Site B used as Backup/Disaster Recovery

The customer wants to perform a planned failover between the sites. How should the administrator accomplish this?

An administrator is using Nutanix Flow to analyze traffic patterns for a new application. They have defined two categories: App-Tier and DB-Tier. After monitoring for 24 hours, they review the Flow Visualization page. The goal is to create a security policy that allows only the observed, legitimate traffic.

Which policy rule should be created based on the visualization below?

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?

In a Nutanix cluster, a Protection Domain contains 50 entities that are replicated to a remote Single Node Replication Target. The current schedule configuration is as follows:

Repeat every 6 hours

Local Retention Policy 1

Remote Retention Policy 8

Starting time 12 am

At 8 am on Monday, the administrator discovers that a protected VM is corrupted. The latest good state was Sunday 2 pm. The administrator needs to maintain current protection.

Which strategy should the administrator use to meet these requirements?

An administrator has a custom backup application that requires a 2TB disk and runs in Windows. Throughput is considerably lower than expected. The application was installed on a VM with the following configuration:

• Four vCPUs with one core/vCPU
• 4GB of Memory
• One 50GB vDisk for the Windows installation
• One 2TB vDisk for the application

What is the recommended configuration change to improve throughput?

An administrator is responsible for the following Nutanix Enterprise Cloud environment:

A central datacenter with a 20-node cluster with 1.5PB of storage

Five remote sites each with a 4-node cluster with 200TB storage

The remote sites are connected to the datacenter via 1GB links with an average latency of 6 ms RTT.

What is the minimum RPO the administrator can achieve for this environment?

An administrator of a Nutanix Enterprise Cloud has microsegmentation enabled and a firewall VM installed. The security team notifies the administrator that one of the VMs hosted in the environment has been exhibiting suspect network activity. The administrator wants to isolate the VM from the production network, but must still be able to access it to perform diagnostics.

What should the administrator do to meet the requirement?
