Question 1

An administrator is implementing a VDI solution. The workload will be a series of persistent desktops in a dedicated storage container within a four-node cluster. Storage optimizations should be set on the dedicated storage container to give optimal performance including during a node failure event.

Which storage optimizations should the administrator set to meet the requirements?

Answer Options
Correct Answer: B
Explanation

Question 2

A customer buys ultimate licensing and wants to use the built-in Nutanix software encryption on their new AHV cluster. The customer needs to create three storage containers and asks the consultant to complete the process as fast as possible.

In which order should the cluster be deployed?

Answer Options
Correct Answer: A
Explanation

The optimal sequence for deploying a Nutanix AHV cluster with built-in software encryption involves the following steps:

Create Cluster: Establish the cluster foundation, which sets up the basic network and cluster configurations.

Install License Key: The ultimate licensing must be applied before enabling encryption because the feature depends on this license.

Encrypt Cluster: Once the cluster is created and licensed, enable encryption to secure the data at rest. This step should be done before creating storage containers to ensure that all data written to the containers is encrypted from the outset.

Create Storage Containers: Finally, create the storage containers. With encryption already enabled, any data written to these containers will be automatically encrypted.

Question 3

For a new AHV cluster installation, a customer has 20 NX-8155-G6 nodes with quad port SFP NICs.

The customer wants to meet the following guidelines:

* Take advantage of all available 10GbE links

* Achieve maximum throughput per VM

* Use of redundant ToR switches

* Fastest reconvergence during link failure

How should the load balancing be configured on the host?

Answer Options
Correct Answer: D
Explanation

In a Nutanix AHV cluster configuration with multiple NICs and ToR switches, achieving high throughput and maintaining link redundancy are critical. The configuration provided in Option D utilizes LACP (Link Aggregation Control Protocol) with active mode, which allows for aggregating multiple network connections in parallel to increase throughput and provide redundancy. The balance-tcp mode of the bonding ensures optimal traffic distribution based on the TCP session, ensuring each session can utilize maximum available bandwidth across multiple links. This setting is crucial for environments requiring high network performance and reliability. Reference:

Question 4

An administrator is deploying an application that requires maximum I/O throughput for scratch dat

a. The administrator is concerned that the throughput requirement is greater than what can be provided by a single cluster node.

What should the administrator do to meet this requirement?

Answer Options
Correct Answer: A
Question 5

How should a consultant validate the installed version of an NVIDIA driver in a Nutanix VDI deployment?

Answer Options
Correct Answer: B
Explanation

To validate the installed version of an NVIDIA driver in a Nutanix environment with AHV or within the CVM, use the command:

This command checks for all RPM packages related to NVIDIA installed on the Controller Virtual Machine, providing details about the driver version.
