Question 1

An administrator deploys a new NC2 cluster in Azure in a new subscription. No VPN or Express Route exists.

Which two actions will allow the administrator access to Prism Central to start the configuration? (Choose two.)



Answer : A, C

Jump Host VM in External VNet with VNet Peering:

Deploy Jump Host VM: Deploy a VM in an external VNet that is not within the same network as Prism Central.

VNet Peering: Establish VNet peering between the external VNet and the Prism Central VNet. This allows the Jump Host to communicate with Prism Central securely.

Jump Host VM in Prism Central VNet Inside a Delegated Subnet:

Deploy Jump Host VM: Deploy the Jump Host VM directly in the Prism Central VNet within a delegated subnet. This places the Jump Host in the same network environment as Prism Central, allowing direct access.

Question 2

Which service enables the monitoring of key metrics on various Azure services, including virtual networks, virtual machines, and bare metal hosts for an NC2 cluster?



Answer : A

Azure Monitor Overview: Azure Monitor is a comprehensive monitoring service that collects, analyzes, and acts on telemetry data from Azure resources.

Key Metrics Monitoring: Azure Monitor enables the monitoring of various Azure services such as virtual networks, virtual machines, and bare metal hosts, providing insights and visibility into their performance and health.

Comparison of Services:

Resource Manager: Manages Azure resources but does not provide detailed monitoring capabilities.

Azure Service Health: Provides personalized alerts and guidance when Azure service issues affect you but is not a comprehensive monitoring solution.

Azure Network Watcher: Focuses on network performance monitoring and diagnostics but does not cover all resource types.

Conclusion: Azure Monitor is the most suitable service for monitoring key metrics across a wide range of Azure services.

Question 3

An administrator deploys an NC2 cluster in Azure and uses 10.100.0.0/16 for one of the VNets.

The cluster is configured as follows:

* 8 nodes

* Prism Central Deployed

* Files Deployed

Following the deployment, the administrator experiences network connectivity issues.

Which reason explains the connectivity issues?



Answer : B

Network Configuration: Using a specific IP range for a VNet can cause conflicts if that range is reserved or already in use by the cluster's internal operations.

Internal Usage: In NC2, certain IP ranges are reserved for internal cluster functions and should not be used for VNets to avoid IP conflicts and connectivity issues.

Impact: If the 10.100.0.0/16 range is reserved for internal usage, using it for a VNet would lead to IP conflicts, causing network connectivity issues.

Verification: It's important to verify the reserved IP ranges in the NC2 documentation before assigning them to VNets.

Conclusion: The connectivity issues are likely due to using the 10.100.0.0/16 range, which is reserved for internal cluster usage.

Question 4

An administrator has setup a routed external network (No NAT) to use for workload running in NC2 clusters on Azure.

The applications are network intensive, so four gateways VMs have been deployed to meet the high demands. One application server on the NC2 clusters is sending traffic to an outside Azure service.

How many flow gateway VMs will be used to distribute the traffic?



Answer : D

Equal-Cost Multi-Path (ECMP) Routing: ECMP allows multiple gateways to be used simultaneously for load balancing traffic across multiple paths. In this scenario, ECMP is configured to point to the external subnets in the Nutanix Transit VPC.

Traffic Distribution: All four Flow Gateway instances will be used to distribute the outgoing traffic from the application server based on the ECMP default route configuration. This ensures efficient load balancing and utilization of all available gateway resources.

Bidirectional Traffic: Both sending and receiving traffic will utilize all four Flow Gateway instances, ensuring high availability and performance for network-intensive applications.

Question 5

A company has just adopted Nutanix as their technology of choice and is preparing to deploy Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC@)

Which step must be taken first to gain access to the NC2 console?



Answer : C

Initial Access: To gain access to the NC2 console, users need to create an account on the Nutanix platform.

My Nutanix Account: Creating a My Nutanix account provides access to the Nutanix console, support, and other resources.

Free Trial and Billing Portal: Starting a free trial or accessing the billing portal can be subsequent steps but require an initial account.

Support Case: Opening a support case is not necessary for initial access but might be needed for specific issues later.

Conclusion: Creating a My Nutanix account is the first step to accessing the NC2 console and other Nutanix services.

Question 6

What is the minimum number of nodes needed to deploy an RF3 NC2 cluster?



Answer : C

Replication Factor (RF3): RF3 requires that data is replicated across three different nodes to ensure data durability and fault tolerance. This replication scheme allows the system to tolerate the failure of two nodes simultaneously.

Minimum Node Requirement for RF3: To meet the RF3 requirements while maintaining operational capability, a minimum of five nodes is necessary. This configuration ensures that there are enough nodes to distribute the data and provide the necessary redundancy.

Question 7

An administrator seeks to ensure that the newly-created NC2 organization named Finance can only deploy clusters into certain cloud regions.

Which action should the administrator take to do this?



Answer : D

Cloud Account Configuration: When setting up a cloud account for the NC2 organization, the administrator can specify which regions are available for deploying clusters.

Restricting Regions: This ensures that the Finance organization can only deploy clusters into the designated regions, complying with organizational policies and requirements.
