Q57
An administrator is attempting to create a share that will provide user access via SMB and NFS. However,
the Enable multiprotocol access for NFS clients setting is not available. What would cause this issue?
A.The connection to Active Directory has not been configured.
B.The File server instance was only configured with SMB.
C.The incorrect Files license has been applied.

What is the appropriate configuration to verify to allow successful Objects cluster deployment to this ESXi
cluster?
A.Ensure that vCenter in PE cluster is registered using FQDN and that vCenter details in Objects UI are
using FQDN .
B.Replace the expired self - signed SSL certificate for the Object Store with a non - expired public
certificate signed by a valid Certificate Authority .
C.Replace the expired self - signed SSL certificate for the Object Store with a non - expired self signed
SSL certificate .
D.Ensure that vCenter in PE cluster is registered using FQDN and that vCenter details in Obiects UI are
using IP address .
Answer: A
Explanation:
The appropriate configuration to verify to allow successful Objects cluster deployment to this
ESXi cluster is to ensure that vCenter in PE cluster is registered using FQDN (Fully Qualified
Domain Name) and that vCenter details in Objects UI are using FQDN. FQDN is a domain name
that specifies the exact location of a host in the domain hierarchy. For example,
esxi01.nutanix.com is an FQDN for an ESXi host. Using FQDN instead of IP addresses can avoid
certificate validation errors when deploying Objects clusters to ESXi clusters.

Q60
Before upgrading Files or creating a file server, which component must first be upgraded to a compatible
version
A.FSM
B.File Analytics
C.Prism Central
D.FSVM
Answer: C

Explanation:
The component that must first be upgraded to a compatible version before upgrading Files or
creating a file server is Prism Central. Prism Central is a web-based user interface that allows
administrators to manage multiple Nutanix clusters and services, including Files. Prism Central must
be upgraded to a compatible version with Files before upgrading an existing file server or creating a
new file server. Otherwise, the upgrade or creation process may fail or cause unexpected errors.

Reference: Nutanix Files Administration Guide, page 21; Nutanix Files Upgrade Guide

Q61
Which protocols are supported by Files?

A.SMBv2 , SMBv3 , NFSv2 , NFSv3

B.SMBv1 , SMBv2 , NFSv2 , NFSv3
C.SMBv1 , SMBv2 , NFSv3 , NFSv4
D.SMBv2 , SMBv3 , NFSv3 , NFSv4
Answer: D

Explanation:
The protocols that are supported by Files are SMBv2, SMBv3, NFSv3, and NFSv4. SMB (Server
Message Block) is a protocol that allows clients to access files, printers, and other resources on a
network. NFS (Network File System) is a protocol that allows clients to access files on a remote
server as if they were local. Files supports both SMB and NFS protocols for creating shares and
exports that can be accessed by different types of clients.

Q62
An administrator is having difficulty enabling Data Lens for a file server. What is the most likely cause of
this issue?
A.The file server has blacklisted file types.
B.SSR is enabled on the file server.
C.The file server has been cloned.
D.The file server is in a Protection Domain.
Answer: C

Explanation:
The most likely cause of this issue is that the file server has been cloned. Cloning a file server is not
a supported operation and can cause various problems, such as Data Lens not being able to enable
or disable for the cloned file server. To avoid this issue, the administrator should use the scale-out
feature to add more FSVMs to an existing file server, or create a new file server from scratch.

Reference: Nutanix Files Administration Guide, page 28; Nutanix Files Troubleshooting Guide, page
11

Q63
An administrator has discovered that File server services are down on a cluster. Which service should
the administrator investigate for this issue?
A.minerva nvm
B.sys_stats_server
C.cassandra
D.insights_collector
Answer: A

Explanation:
The service that the administrator should investigate for this issue is Minerva-nvm. Minerva-nvm is a
service that runs on each CVM and provides communication between Prism Central and Files
services. Minerva-nvm also monitors the health of Files services and reports any failures or alerts to
Prism Central. If Minerva-nvm is down on any CVM, it can affect the availability and functionality of
Files services on that cluster.

Q64
An existing Objects bucket was created for backups with these requirements:
WORM policy of one year
Versioning policy of one year
Lifecycle policy of three years.
A recent audit has reported a compliance failure. Data that should be retained for three years has been
deleted prematurely.
How should the administrator resolve the compliance failure within Objects?
A.Modify the existing bucket versioning policy from one year to three years.
B.Recreate a new bucket with the retention policy of three years.
C.Modify the existing bucket WORM policy from one year to three years.
D.Create a tiering policy to store deleted data on cold storage for three years.
Answer: C

Explanation:
The administrator should resolve the compliance failure within Objects by modifying the existing
bucket WORM (Write-Once Read-Many) policy from one year to three years. WORM is a feature
that prevents anyone from modifying or deleting data in a bucket while the policy is active. WORM
policies help comply with strict data retention regulations that mandate how long specific data must
be stored. The administrator can extend the WORM retention period for a bucket at any time, but
cannot reduce it or delete it. By extending the WORM policy from one year to three years, the
administrator can ensure that data in the bucket is retained for the required duration and not deleted
prematurely.

Q65
A Files administrator needs to generate a report listing the files matching those in the exhibit What is the
most efficient way to complete this task?
A.Use Report Builder in File Analytics.
B.Create a custom report in Prism Central.
C.Use Report Builder in Files Console.
D.Create a custom report in Files Console.
Answer: A

Explanation:
The most efficient way to generate a report listing the files matching those in the exhibit is to use
Report Builder in File Analytics. Report Builder is a feature that allows administrators to create
custom reports based on various filters and criteria, such as file name, file type, file size, file owner,
file age, file access time, file modification time, file permission change time, and so on. Report
Builder can also export the reports in CSV format for further analysis or sharing.

Q66
What are two ways to manage Objects? (Choose two.)
A.PC
B.CLI
C.API
D.SSH
Answer: AC

Explanation:
There are two ways to manage Objects: PC (Prism Central) and API (Application Programming
Interface). PC is a web-based user interface that allows administrators to create, configure, monitor,
and manage Objects clusters, buckets, users, and policies. API is a set of S3-compatible REST APIs
that allows applications and users to interact with Objects programmatically. API can be used to
perform operations such as creating buckets, uploading objects, listing objects, downloading objects,
deleting objects, and so on.

Q67
An administrator needs to scale out an existing Files instance. Based on the company's requirements,
the Files instance has four ESVMMS configured and needs to expand to six.
How many additional Client IP addresses and Storage IP addresses does the administrator require to
complete this task?
A.3 Client IPs and 2 Storage IPs
B.2 Client IPs and 2 Storage IPs
C.3 Client IPs and 3 Storage IPs
D.2 Client IPs and 3 Storage Ips
Answer: C

Explanation:
To scale out an existing Files instance, the administrator needs to add one Client IP and one
Storage IP for each additional FSVM. Since the Files instance needs to expand from four FSVMs to
six FSVMs, the administrator needs to add two Client IPs and two Storage IPs in total. The Client
IPs are used for communication between the FSVMs and the clients, while the Storage IPs are used
for communication between the FSVMs and the CVMs.

Q68
An administrator needs to ensure maximum performance, throughput, and redundancy for the company's
Oracle RAC on Linux implementation, while using the native method for securing workloads .
Which configuration meets these requirements?
A.Files with a distributed share and ABE
B.Files with a general-purpose share and File Blocking
C.Volumes with MPIO and a single vDisk
D.Volumes with CHAP and multiple vDisks

Answer: C

Explanation:
Volumes is a feature that allows users to create and manage block storage devices (volume groups)
on a Nutanix cluster. Volume groups can be accessed by external hosts using the iSCSI protocol. To
ensure maximum performance, throughput, and redundancy for Oracle RAC on Linux
implementation, while using the native method for securing workloads, the recommended
configuration is to use Volumes with MPIO (Multipath I/O) and a single vDisk (virtual disk). MPIO is a
technique that allows multiple paths between an iSCSI initiator and an iSCSI target, which improves
performance and availability. A single vDisk is a logical unit number (LUN) that can be assigned to
multiple hosts in a volume group, which simplifies management and reduces overhead.

Q69
An administrator has been tasked with creating a distributed share on a single - node cluster but has
been unable to successfully complete the task.
Why is this task failing?
A.File server version should be greater than 3.8.0.
B.AOS version should be greater than 6.0.
C.Number of distributed shares limit reached.
D.Distributed shares require multiple nodes.
Answer: D
Explanation: A distributed share is a type of SMB share or NFS export that distributes the hosting of
top-level directories across multiple FSVMs, which improves load balancing and performance. A
distributed share cannot be created on a single-node cluster, because there is only one FSVM available. A
distributed share requires at least two nodes in the cluster to distribute the directories. Therefore, the
task of creating a distributed share on a single-node cluster will fail. Reference: Nutanix Files
Administration Guide, page 33; Nutanix Files Solution Guide, page 8

Q70
What is the most efficient way of enabling users to restore their files without administrator intervention
in multiple Files shares
A.Click Enable next to the name of the share in Manage Recovery Settings from Data Lens.
B.Click Enable Self Service Restore in the Edit wizard for each share in Shares tab from Files Console.
C.Assign the same Category to all FSVMs and adding that Category to a single Protection Policy in PC.
D.Add all FSVMs to a Consistency Group within a single asynchronous Protection Domain in PE
Answer: B

Explanation: Nutanix Files allows users to restore their files from the snapshots taken by the protection
policy. A protection policy is a set of rules that defines how often snapshots are taken, how long they are
retained, and where they are replicated. A protection policy can be applied to one or more file shares. To
enable users to restore their files without administrator intervention, the administrator must enable the
Self Service Restore option for each share in the Files Console. This option adds a hidden folder named
.snapshot in each share, which contains all the snapshots taken by the protection policy. Users can
access this folder and browse the snapshots to find and restore their files. The administrator can also
configure the permissions and quota for the .snapshot folder. Reference: Nutanix Files Administration
Guide, page 75; Nutanix Files Self-Service Restore Guide
Q71
After configuring Smart DR , an administrator is unable see the policy in the Policies tab . The
administrator has confirmed that all FSVMs are able to connect to Prism Central via port 9440
bidirectionally.
What is the possible reason for this issue?
A.The primary and recovery file servers do not have the same protocols.
B.Port 7515 should be open for all External / Client IPs of FSVMs on the Source and Target cluster.
C.The primary and recovery file servers do not have the same version.
D.Port 7515 should be open for all Internal / Storage IPs of FSVMs on the Source and Target duster.
Answer: B

Explanation:
Smart DR is a feature that allows share-level replication between active file server instances for
disaster recovery. To configure Smart DR, one of the prerequisites is to open TCP port 7575 for all
External/Client IPs of FSVMs on the Source and Target cluster. This port is used for communication
between the FSVMs and Prism Central. If this port is not open, Smart DR policies will not be visible
in the Policies tab in Prism Central.

Reference: Nutanix Files Administration Guide, page 79; Nutanix Files Solution Guide, page 9

Q72
Which port is required between a CVM or Prism Central to insights.nutanix.com for Data Lens
Configuration?
A.80
B.443
C.8443
D.9440
Answer: B

Explanation:
Data Lens is a SaaS that provides file analytics and reporting, anomaly detection, audit trails,
ransomware protection features, and tiering management for Nutanix Files. To configure Data Lens,
one of the network requirements is to allow HTTPS (port 443) traffic between a CVM or Prism
Central to insights.nutanix.com. This allows Data Lens to collect metadata and statistics from the
FSVMs and display them in a graphical user interface.

Reference: Nutanix Files Administration Guide, page 93; Nutanix Data Lens User Guide

Q73
What is a prerequisite for deploying Smart DR?
A.Requires one-to-many shares.
B.The File Manager must have at least three file servers.
C.The primary and recovery file servers must have the same domain name.
D.Open TCP port 7515 on all client network Ips (uni-directionally on the source and recovery file servers).
Answer: D
Explanation:
Smart DR is a feature that allows share-level replication between active file server instances for
disaster recovery. To configure Smart DR, one of the prerequisites is to open TCP port 7515 on
all client network IPs (uni-directionally on the source and recovery file servers). This port is used
for communication between the FSVMs and the replication engine.

Q74

What does the “X” represent on the icon?

A.Share Disconnected File
B.Compact ISO
C.Distributed shared file
D.Tiered File
Answer: C

Explanation: The “X” on the icon represents a distributed shared file, which is a file that belongs to a
distributed share or export. A distributed share or export is a type of SMB share or NFS export that
distributes the hosting of top-level directories across multiple FSVMs. The “X” indicates that the file is
not hosted by the current FSVM, but by another FSVM in the cluster. The “X” also helps to identify which
files are eligible for migration when using the Nutanix Files Migration Tool. Reference: Nutanix Files
Administration Guide, page 34; Nutanix Files Migration Tool User Guide, page
Q75
An administration has been directed to configure Volumes to Nutanix’s best practices for security.
What should the administrator do to be compliant?
A.Enable at-rest encryption on Volume Groups.
B.Configure Volume Groups to use CHAP.
C.Use the data services IP for external host connectivity.
D.Segment iSCSI traffic to a physically separate network.
Answer: B

Explanation:
Nutanix Volumes is a feature that allows users to create and manage block storage devices (volume
groups) on a Nutanix cluster. Volume groups can be accessed by external hosts using the iSCSI
protocol. To secure volume groups from unauthorized access, Nutanix recommends configuring
CHAP (Challenge-Handshake Authentication Protocol) for each volume group in Prism Element.
CHAP is a security feature that authenticates iSCSI initiators and targets before allowing access to a
volume group. CHAP requires both the initiator and the target to have a shared secret (a password)
that is used to generate a challenge and a response during the authentication process. CHAP can
prevent unauthorized access to volume groups and protect data from malicious attacks.

Q76
What is the network requirement for a File Analytics deployment?
A.Must use the VM network
B.Must use the Backplane network
C.Must use the Storage-side network
D.Must use the Client-side network
Answer: D

Explanation: Nutanix File Analytics is a feature that provides insights into the usage and activity of file
data stored on Nutanix Files. File Analytics consists of a File Analytics VM (FAVM) that runs on a Nutanix
cluster and communicates with the File Server VMs (FSVMs) that host the file shares. The FAVM collects
metadata and statistics from the FSVMs and displays them in a graphical user interface (GUI). The FAVM
must be deployed on the same network as the FSVMs, which is the Client-side network. This network is
used for communication between File Analytics and FSVMs, as well as for accessing the File Analytics UI
from a web browser. The Client-side network must have DHCP enabled and must be routable from the
external hosts that access the file shares and File Analytics UI. Reference: Nutanix Files Administration
Guide, page 93; Nutanix File Analytics Deployment Guide

Q77
An administrator has created a distributed share on the File cluster. The administrator connects to the
share using Windows Explorer and starts creating folders in the share. The administrator observes that
none of the created folder can be renamed as the company naming convention requires.

How should the administrator resolve this issue?

A.Use the Files MMC Snapln and rename the folders
B.Use the Microsoft Shared Folder MMC Snapln.
C.Modify the read/write permissions on the created folders
D.Modify the Files shares to use the NFS protocol.
Answer: A

Explanation:
The administrator should resolve this issue by using the Files MMC Snap-in and renaming the folders.
The Files MMC Snap-in is a tool that allows administrators to manage Files shares and exports from a
Windows machine. The administrator can use the Files MMC Snap-in to connect to a distributed share or
export and rename the top-level directories that are hosted by different FSVMs. Renaming the
directories from Windows Explorer will not work because Windows Explorer does not recognize the
distributed nature of the share or export and will try to rename all directories on the same FSVM, which
will fail.
