NCP-MCI-V6-5 Sample Questions & Answers

An administrator needs to provide shared storage for a new containerized application environment running outside the Nutanix cluster. The application requires a POSIX-compliant, scale-out file system. Which Nutanix service should be deployed and configured to meet this requirement?

A hospital is using a Nutanix cluster to host its Electronic Health Record (EHR) system. They need to create a disaster recovery plan to a secondary site. The compliance requirements mandate that in the event of a disaster, the EHR system must be recoverable with no more than 15 minutes of data loss. Which replication schedule type should be configured on the Protection Domain?

An administrator is attempting to add a new node to an existing AHV cluster. The process fails during the node discovery phase. The administrator confirms that the new node is on the same subnet as the existing CVMs and has the same hypervisor version. What is a common cause for this discovery failure?

A new administrator takes over a Nutanix environment managed by Prism Central. They find that some VMs can be migrated between clusters, while others cannot. The administrator confirms that all clusters are running compatible AHV and AOS versions. What Prism Central construct is used to define which VMs are eligible for cross-cluster migration?

An administrator is reviewing the capacity runway for a cluster in Prism Central and notices that the storage runway is predicted to be exhausted in 30 days. The cluster currently has RF2 configured. The administrator has identified several non-critical, archive-level workloads that could tolerate a single component failure but not two simultaneous failures. Which action would be most effective in reclaiming storage capacity and extending the runway without purchasing new hardware?

Case Study:

A retail company, ShopFast, runs its e-commerce platform on a 6-node Nutanix AHV cluster. During peak holiday seasons, the web front-end VMs experience significant performance degradation. The operations team has observed that CPU utilization on the hosts is high, but not maxed out. However, storage latency for the web tier VMs spikes dramatically during these periods. The web VMs are part of a storage container that also hosts several other development and test workloads.

The current storage container configuration is RF2 with no other data efficiency features enabled. The web VMs primarily read from a large product catalog image repository, resulting in a high read I/O profile. The IT director has tasked the Nutanix administrator with resolving the latency issue for the web tier without purchasing new hardware before the next peak season.

Which configuration change should the administrator implement to specifically address the high read latency for the web tier VMs?

The command acli vm.get is executed on an AHV host. The output includes the parameter ha_priority: -1. What does this value indicate about the VM?

An administrator needs to create a point-in-time copy of a VM for a development team to test a new patch. The copy must be independent of the original VM, and any changes made to the copy should not affect the production VM. Which operation should be performed?

Which two networking bond modes in AHV provide load balancing and fault tolerance for VM traffic? (Select TWO)

The Nutanix component responsible for handling all storage I/O operations, data efficiency processes, and replication for a node is called the ________.
