NEW QUESTION # 15
A CIO has been reviewing the corporate BCDR plan. In this review, the CIO has noticed that they are replicating their Files deployments using the built in Files DR capabilities that are configured out of the box.
Upon further investigation, the CIO has identified that there are no granular share replications between their Files deployments and has requested the administrator to take an initiative and implement a granular Files Share recovery model.
Which Files capability should the administrator configure in order to be able to failover only certain shares?
- A. Smart DR
- B. Smart Tiering
- C. NC2 on AWS
- D. Data Lens
Answer: A
Explanation:
Smart DR enables granular recovery of individual file shares in Nutanix Files by replicating data at the share level. This allows for more fine-grained control over the failover process and ensures that only critical data is recovered in the event of a disaster or outage.
Files Smart DR is a feature that allows you to replicate between Files instances, either on-premises or running on Nutanix Cloud Clusters on AWS1. With Files Smart DR, you can configure granular share replication, which means you can select which shares to replicate and which ones to exclude1. Therefore, the correct answer to your question is B. Smart DR.
Files Smart DR also supports replicating snapshots between the source share and its target, which can help with data recovery and compliance2. Additionally, Files Smart DR is the mechanism by which Files will support disaster recovery in the Nutanix Xi cloud3.
NEW QUESTION # 16
An administrator has mapped a Volume Group named VGI to a VM, Due to changes in the application running inside the VM, two additional volumes are required. At the time of creation, the VM was assigned to a Protection Domain named PDI.
Which two steps should the administrator take to add the additional volumes to the VM while maintaining data protection? (Choose two.)
- A. Manually update PD1 to include the newly created vDisks.
- B. Add two additional vDisks to VG1.
- C. Map the new vDisks as volumes to the VM.
- D. Add the new vDisks to the same Consistency Group.
Answer: B,D
Explanation:
To add additional volumes to a VM that is mapped to a VG, you need to add more vDisks to that VG1. vDisks are virtual disks that reside on Storage Containers2.
To maintain data protection for a VM that is assigned to a Protection Domain (PD), you need to add any new vDisks to the same Consistency Group (CG) as the existing ones3. A CG is a subset of entities in a PD that are snapshotted in a crash-consistent manner2.

mspctl_status -u <UUID- UUID - UUID - UUID > - B. mspcli_cluster_object
mspcli_status -u <UUID- UUID - UUID - UUID > - C. mspctl_cluster_object
mspctl_status -u <UUID- UUID - UUID - UUID > - D. mspcli_cluster_list
mspcli_status -u <UUID- UUID - UUID - UUID >
Answer: D
Explanation:
The mspcli_cluster_list command lists all the existing service domains for the cluster, which can help identify if there is an issue with the Object Store Domain entries. The mspcli_status command can be used to get detailed status information on the specified service domain specified by the <UUID- UUID - UUID - UUID > parameter.
NEW QUESTION # 18
A company requires that object data that is unused for a period of 12 months should be moved to AWS Glacier. This should be applied immediately to all new and existing data within the organization.
An administrator creates and applies the tiering rule. but observes that no existing data is moved from buckets where the tiering rule is applied, despite being created over 12 months ago.
What is the reason for data over 12 months old failing to tier?
- A. Apply to existing data option has not been selected on the lifecycle rule.
- B. Enable versioning has not been selected on the Tiering Endpoint configuration.
- C. The category has not been added to existing data.
- D. Tiering lifecycle policies are non-retroactive.
Answer: A
Explanation:
According to Nutanix Support & Insights1, "When you create a lifecycle policy for a bucket, you can choose whether to apply it only to new objects that are added after creating the policy or also apply it retroactively to existing objects." Therefore, if this option is not selected, then existing data will not be moved by the tiering rule.

NEW QUESTION # 19
A company uses a Nutanix 3-node cluster environment. In Prism Pro, the Capacity Runway shows these capacity values:
Max Capacity: 6 TiB
Effective Capacity 4 TiB
The company wants to upgrade the environment to use an RF3 container and also requires all cluster nodes to be the same model, What must the effective capacity Of the Nutanix cluster be to support the new RF3 container?
- A. 10 TIB
- B. 4 TiB
- C. 9 TiB
- D. 6 TiB
Answer: C
Explanation:
To support a new RF3 container, the effective capacity of the Nutanix cluster must be at least three times the size of the data that needs to be stored on it3. This is because RF3 means that each data block is replicated three times across different nodes or blocks for fault tolerance3.
This is because if you have 4 TiB of effective capacity with RF2 (which means each data block is replicated twice), then you need 9 TiB of effective capacity with RF3 (which means each data block is replicated three times).

A RHEL administrator has requested a new NFS v4 export share to be deployed.
The task has been completed with the following settings:
* Authentication - System
* Default Access - Read-Write
Which mount-t nfs -o sec option should the RHEL administrator issue in order to properly mount the new share?
- A. Krb5p
- B. Sys
- C. None
- D. Krb5i
Answer: B
Explanation:
Nutanix Files supports NFSv4, which includes advanced features such as strongly mandated security1. NFSv4 supports different security flavors such as sys, krb5, krb5i, and krb5p1. The sys flavor uses UNIX-style authentication based on UID/GID mapping1. The other flavors use Kerberos authentication with different levels of protection1.
Since the NFS v4 export share was configured with System authentication, which is equivalent to sys flavor1, the RHEL administrator should issue the mount command with the option -o sec=sys21.

NEW QUESTION # 24
Which two network requirements must an administrator take into consideration for a new scale-out Files cluster when configuring and defining separate client and storage networks? (Choose two.)
- A. Ensure the client and storage networks use a tagged VLAN.
- B. Ensure there is one IP address available for the storage network.
- C. The client and storage networks must have different subnet.
- D. Ensure there is one IP address available for client network.
Answer: B,C
Explanation:
These are two essential requirements that an administrator must take into consideration when configuring separate client and storage networks.
these are some of the network requirements that an administrator must take into consideration for a new scale-out Files cluster when configuring and defining separate client and storage networks:
The client and storage networks must have different subnets12. This is because FSVMs use IP addresses from both networks, so they must be distinct to avoid conflicts.
Ensure there are enough IP addresses available for both networks12. This is because each FSVM requires one IP address from each network, plus one virtual IP address (VIP) per network per cluster. For example, if you have a three-node cluster with three FSVMs, you need six IP addresses for the client network (three for FSVMs and three for VIPs) and six IP addresses for the storage network (three for FSVMs and three for VIPs).
Ensure the client and storage networks use tagged VLANs if they share physical interfaces1. This is because VLAN tagging allows multiple logical networks to coexist on a single physical interface without interfering with each other.
Ensure there are no firewall rules or port blocking that prevent communication between clients, FSVMs, CVMs and Prism Element1. This is because Nutanix Files uses various ports for different protocols and services such as SMB, NFS, NTP, DNS etc.
NEW QUESTION # 25
Which Nutanix interface is used to deploy a new Files instance?

NEW QUESTION # 27
What is the most likely cause of an Objects bucket that is shared with multiple users to approach its assigned capacity limit?
- A. Objects store capacity includes snapshots.
- B. Malware infection is causing the usage.
- C. Some mufti-part operations are pending.
- D. Other users have written to the bucket.
Answer: D
Explanation:
According to Nutanix Objects User Guide1, an object store is a logical grouping of buckets that share a common namespace and configuration settings. A bucket is a container for objects that can be accessed by authorized applications and users using S3-compatible APIs.
Objects Storage provides a simple and scalable S3 compatible storage tier on top of your Nutanix AOS platform2. There is no limit on objects per bucket3, but there is a limit on the total capacity of an object store that can be configured during its creation or modified later4.
Therefore, if an object store is shared with multiple users, it is possible that other users have written to the buckets in the object store and consumed its assigned capacity limit.

NEW QUESTION # 36
An administrator needs to configure a Files share with these requirements:
Supports 100 virtual desktop users
Share would host user data
Share is limited to 1 TB, evenly distributed across users
Optimized for best I/0 performance within the current environment
Which two configuration actions should the administrator take to meet these requirements? (Choose two.)
- A. Create a distributed share.
- B. Add a quote policy to the share.
- C. Enable ABE on the share.
- D. Configure a standard share.
Answer: A,B
Explanation:
According to Nutanix Files SMB Share Default Permission1, a standard share is created with default permissions for three built-in groups: Administrators, Users, and Backup Operators. This may not be suitable for hosting user data that needs to be evenly distributed across users.
According to Nutanix Support & Insights2, a distributed share is a type of SMB share that allows you to distribute files across multiple file servers for better performance and scalability. This can help optimize the I/O performance within the current environment.
According to Nutanix File and NFS Mount Examples3, a quota policy is a way to limit the amount of space that a user or group can consume on a share. This can help enforce the 1 TB limit on the share and ensure that each user gets an equal amount of space.
