Latest Exam Questions Nutanix - NCS-Core

When encountering issues during the Foundation process, such as an imaging failure, consultants need to
access detailed logs to diagnose the problem. Two primary locations for these logs include the direct link
accessible via the Foundation Imaging Screen, which provides real-time logs during the imaging process, and
the Foundation VM directory at /home/nutanix/foundation/logs. These locations offer comprehensive log data
essential for troubleshooting and resolving imaging issues. References: Nutanix Foundation documentation
and troubleshooting guides from the Nutanix Bible and Nutanix University training resources.

Question #:5

An existing Nutanix customer has several clusters in production and is adding a new cluster. The customer
wants to create an AHV cluster that has already been racked and powered on remotely, with the factory image,
using Prism Central.

Which step should the consultant take next?

A. Build the cluster with the Foundation Applet

B. Build the cluster with the Foundation VM.

C. Bare metal image the nodes with the Foundation VM.

D. Build the cluster with Foundation Central.

Answer: D

Explanation
For adding a new cluster to an existing set of production clusters using AHV and wanting to manage the setup
remotely via Prism Central, the most appropriate and efficient method is to use Foundation Central.
Foundation Central allows for the remote deployment and configuration of Nutanix clusters through Prism
Central, facilitating the foundation process without needing physical access or separate foundational utilities
like the Foundation VM or Applet. It uses the factory image on the nodes and is designed to streamline cluster
expansions and deployments in enterprise environments.References: Nutanix Foundation Central User Guide,
Nutanix Prism Central documentation.

Question #:6

A customer has requested help deploying a small single-VM instance of Prism Central in their environment
that will be used for managing less than 100 guest VMs and registered to a single 5-node cluster. Due to
business needs, the customer also plans to consume additional service features within the PC platform.

The consultant discusses with the customer and ultimately decides to deploy a small 3-VM instance to better
account for possible resource overhead required once the additional services are enabled on the cluster.

The additional services the consultant must enable to meet the customer’s requests are as follows:

•Nutanix Disaster Recovery

Latest Exam Questions Nutanix - NCS-Core

•MS-SQL Server Monitonng

•Flow Microsegmentation

Why won’t the plan to deploy a small PC instance work for this customer?

A. The consultant must specify during the small PC deployment that all 3 PCVMs are configured to have
32GB of memory in order to ensure adequate overhead.

B. The additional services the customer needs cannot be supported on a small sized PC. Consultant must
deploy at a minimum a large size PC.

C. Flow Microsegmentation requires an X-Large 5-VM scale-out instance of Prism Central be deployed in
order to avoid constraints.

D. MS-SQL Server Monitoring requires additional licensing and a separate appliance to be deployed when
using a small sized PC.

Answer: B

Explanation
The plan to deploy a small Prism Central (PC) instance will not work for the customer because the additional
services required, especially Flow Microsegmentation and MS-SQL Server Monitoring, demand more
substantial resources than a small PC instance can support. The correct approach: B. The additional services
the customer needs, including Nutanix Disaster Recovery, MS-SQL Server Monitoring, and Flow
Microsegmentation, require a larger resource pool for adequate performance and functionality, making a
minimum of a large size PC deployment necessary. Options C and D point to specific requirements but are
incorrect in stating the exact size or additional licensing for MS-SQL alone; rather, the overall resource
demand across services necessitates a larger PC deployment.References: Nutanix Prism Central Deployment
Guide, Nutanix Services Specifications.

Question #:7

A customer has an ESXi Cluster with two 10GbE NICs on each node with the following requirements:

* Solution must follow Nutanix Best Practices

* Network configuration should be redundant

* A vSphere Standard Switch must be utilized

Which load balancing method should be used?

A. Route based on originating port ID

B. Route based on physical NIC load

C. Route based on IP hash

D.

Learn - Pass - Certified 4 of 7

Latest Exam Questions Nutanix - NCS-Core

D. Route based on source MAC hash

Answer: A

Explanation
According to Nutanix best practices for ESXi clusters, using a vSphere Standard Switch with "Route based on
originating port ID" is recommended for load balancing. This method ensures that the same virtual port ID
within a vSwitch uses the same uplink from the vSwitch. This load balancing policy provides an even
distribution of traffic and redundancy by utilizing both NICs effectively without requiring any specific
physical switch configurations, such as EtherChannel or LACP.References: The Nutanix Bible, NCS-Core 6.8
course content, and VMware’s documentation on vSphere Standard Switch load balancing methods.

Question #:8

Refer to the exhibit.

A consultant is deploying a cluster using the customer-provided IP addressing information.

Which option in Foundation must be configured to ensure connectivity during the deployment?

A. Link Aggregation

B. Range Autofill

C. Network Segmentation

D. Multi-homing

Answer: B

Explanation
During the deployment of a cluster using the Nutanix Foundation, ensuring all IP ranges are correctly
configured is crucial for successful connectivity and deployment. "Range Autofill" is a feature in Foundation
that automatically populates IP address fields based on the first IP provided, ensuring consistency and
correctness across multiple nodes being deployed simultaneously. This feature helps avoid manual entry errors
and ensures all nodes are configured with appropriate IP addresses that fall within the specified range.

Question #:9

After the migration, some SQL queries take longer to execute than prior to migration.

The following SQL best practices were applied while creating the SQL VM on Nutanix:

•8 vDisks per SQL server VM

•Database and Log files on separate vDisk

•2 TempDB database drives and 1 TempDB log drive

What should the administrator to do improve the SQL Server performance?

A. Redistribute existing data by creating additional database file and enable autogrowth

B. Create multiple TempDB data files and enable autogrowth

C. Create multiple SQL log files and disable autogrowth

D. Redistribute existing data by creating additional database files and disable autogrowth

Answer: B

Explanation
In the scenario where SQL queries are running slower post-migration, creating multiple TempDB data files is
a recognized best practice for optimizing SQL Server performance, especially when dealing with high
transaction rates or complex queries. This approach helps in distributing the I/O load across multiple files and
drives, reducing the contention and wait times associated with TempDB, which is a common bottleneck in
SQL Server environments. Enabling autogrowth ensures that these files can dynamically grow as needed,
which helps in handling unexpected increases in database activity without manual intervention.References:
Nutanix Best Practices for SQL Server, SQL Server performance tuning guidelines.

Question #:10

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
