Nutanix NCP-MCI-6.10 Nutanix Certified Professional - Multicloud Infrastructure v6.10 Exam Practice Test

Answer : A

The exhibit shows that the overall runway is only 66 days, meaning that the current cluster does not have enough capacity to sustain workloads for 6 months, let alone 9 months.

The best solution is to add resources to the cluster (Option A), such as CPU, memory, or storage, to extend the runway.

Postponing new workloads (Option B) may help in the short term but does not align with the business need to continue adding workloads.

Deleting workloads (Option C) is not a viable option because the customer wants to add more, not remove them.

Changing the target to 9 months (Option D) does not change the actual resource constraints; it only alters the target timeframe.

Answer : C

The Bully VMs List (Option C) in Prism Central's Intelligent Operations identifies VMs consuming excessive CPU, memory, or storage, which negatively affects other VMs.

Option A (Inactive VMs List) is used for identifying unused VMs but does not detect performance issues.

Option B (Overprovisioned VMs List) helps identify VMs with excessive allocated resources, but it does not focus on live performance impact.

Option D (Constrained VMs List) highlights VMs suffering from resource contention, not those causing it.

Answer : B

In a dark site deployment, LCM does not automatically fetch updates from the internet. The administrator must manually upload compatibility bundles.

Option B (The latest compatibility bundle has not been uploaded) is correct:

The compatibility bundle contains firmware mappings, allowing LCM to detect the correct BIOS version.

Option A is incorrect:

AOS does not need to be upgraded first for a BIOS update.

Option C is incorrect:

The BMC firmware does not always need updating before BIOS updates.

Option D is incorrect:

In a dark site deployment, LCM does not rely on an internet connection, so webserver access is not required.

Answer : B

For Nutanix Disaster Recovery (DR) protection policies, the first step is to establish a connection between the Production cluster and the DR site, which is done by creating an Availability Zone (AZ) (Option B).

Availability Zones (AZs) define remote sites for replication and are a requirement for configuring protection domains and disaster recovery plans.

Option A (Installing NGT) is not necessary for setting up replication but is useful for application-consistent snapshots.

Option C (Converting the source cluster to AHV) is not required, as Nutanix supports cross-hypervisor DR between ESXi and AHV.

Option D (Creating a point-in-time snapshot) is a later step after setting up the Availability Zone and Protection Policy.

Answer : A

When creating a storage container in Nutanix, the administrator must configure the correct capacity settings:

Option A (Prism Element with Advertised Capacity of 100 GiB) is correct:

Advertised Capacity defines logical limits for the container (i.e., how much space it reports as available).

Inline Compression can be enabled directly in Prism Element.

Option B (Create in Prism Element without Advertised Capacity) is incorrect:

Without specifying Advertised Capacity, the container may consume unlimited storage.

Option C (Create in Prism Central with Reserved Capacity) is incorrect:

Reserved Capacity applies to Quality of Service (QoS) policies, not storage limits.

Option D (Create in Prism Central without capacity limits) is incorrect:

Prism Central can manage storage but does not directly enforce RF1 and compression policies.

Answer : D

A single vCPU is likely causing a bottleneck, limiting the VM's ability to process I/O requests efficiently.

Option D (Increase the VM's number of vCPUs) is correct:

Windows requires sufficient CPU resources to handle disk and network operations.

Adding more vCPUs allows the VM to process more I/O operations simultaneously, improving performance.

Option A is incorrect:

Additional vSCSI controllers are only useful for very high disk I/O workloads.

Option B is incorrect:

Balance-TCP applies to network traffic, not storage performance.

Option C is incorrect:

CVM resources do not directly affect individual VM performance.

Answer : C

If a VM is unable to migrate, the most likely cause is that it is an Agent VM (such as a Nutanix Witness VM or a VM with special dependencies).

Option C (Disable Agent VM) is correct:

Some Agent VMs are configured to prevent migration due to critical roles (e.g., a Witness VM for Metro Availability).

Disabling Agent VM restrictions allows it to migrate before a host enters maintenance mode.

Option A (Enable ADS) is incorrect:

Acropolis Dynamic Scheduling (ADS) helps with VM placement after migration, but it does not force an unmigratable VM to move.

Option B (Update LLDP) is incorrect:

LLDP is used for network discovery, but it does not impact VM migration behavior.

Option D (Configure backplane port groups) is incorrect:

Backplane settings impact CVM communication, not VM migration.
