Question 1

An administrator wants to live-migrate a vGPU-enabled VM from one host to another within the same cluster.

What requirements must be met before initiating the migration?

AThe target host has sufficient resources to support the VM.

BThe vGPU profile needs to be changed.

CThe VM must be configured as an agent VM.

DThe host affinity for the VM must be set to a specific host.

Answer : A

vGPU-enabled VMs can only be migrated if the destination host has a compatible GPU and sufficient resources.

Option A (Target host must have sufficient resources) is correct:

The target host must have the same GPU model and enough available resources to support the VM.

vGPU cannot be live-migrated across incompatible hardware.

Option B (vGPU profile change) is incorrect:

The profile does not need to be changed as long as the target host has the same configuration.

Option C (Agent VM required) is incorrect:

Agent VMs are not necessary for vGPU migration.

Option D (Host affinity) is incorrect:

Host affinity limits movement, but is not a prerequisite for migration.

Question 2

When expanding a cluster, what is required to automatically discover new nodes?

ANew nodes must have the same hypervisor version.

BIPv6 multicast must be allowed on physical switches.

CNew nodes must have the same AOS version.

DIPv4 multicast must be allowed on physical switches.

Answer : B

Nutanix uses IPv4 multicast for automatic node discovery and cluster expansion.

Option D (IPv4 multicast must be allowed) is correct:

When adding new nodes, the Nutanix Cluster automatically detects them using IPv4 multicast traffic.

If multicast is blocked at the switch level, the new nodes will not be discovered automatically.

Option A (Hypervisor version must match) is incorrect:

While the hypervisor version should be compatible, it does not impact node discovery.

Option B (IPv6 multicast) is incorrect:

Nutanix does not use IPv6 multicast for cluster discovery.

Option C (AOS version must match) is incorrect:

Nodes can have slightly different AOS versions, but discovery still works as long as they are compatible.

Question 3

Refer to Exhibit:

An administrator notices the message shown in the exhibit when navigating to LCM from Prism Central.

Which action should the administrator take to update LCM to the latest version?

ARun an AOS upgrade.

BRun an AHV upgrade.

CPerform an Inventory Scan.

DDownload and install the latest LCM version from a CVM.

Answer : C

When Life Cycle Manager (LCM) reports that a newer framework version is available, the correct action is to perform an inventory scan (Option C).

Performing an inventory scan updates the available firmware/software versions and allows LCM to download required updates.

Option A (Run an AOS upgrade) is unrelated to the LCM framework update process.

Option B (Run an AHV upgrade) is a separate component update and does not affect the LCM framework.

Option D (Download manually from a CVM) is not necessary because LCM updates are automatically pulled after an inventory scan.

Question 4

An administrator needs to compare the performance of two VMs that are running on separate Nutanix clusters.

When creating an Analysis chart in Prism Central Intelligent Operations, the administrator discovers that it is not possible to add VM metrics for IOPS and CPU utilization to the same chart.

How should the administrator resolve this issue?

ACreate an Entity chart instead of a Metric chart.

BEnsure that both VMs have the same number of vCPUs provisioned.

CMigrate one of the VMs so that both VMs are running on the same cluster.

DCreate separate charts for metrics with different units of measurement

Answer : D

Question 5

An administrator has been tasked with performing firmware upgrades for all Nutanix sites.

When attempting to perform firmware upgrades via Life Cycle Manager (LCM) at a remote site with a single-node cluster, no firmware updates are listed as available. The administrator confirmed that the currently installed firmware is several revisions behind.

Why are no firmware upgrades listed in LCM for this cluster?

ASingle-node clusters only support one-disk firmware upgrades.

BLCM is not supported on single-node clusters.

CLCM cannot perform firmware upgrades on single-node clusters.

DLCM does not have connectivity to the internet.

Answer : C

LCM (Life Cycle Manager) does not support automatic firmware upgrades for single-node clusters because firmware updates require cluster-wide operations, which are not possible with only one node.

Option B (LCM is not supported on single-node clusters) is correct:

Single-node clusters lack failover capability, making firmware upgrades unsafe without manual intervention.

Option A (Single-node clusters only support one-disk firmware upgrades) is incorrect:

This limitation does not apply to LCM as a whole.

Option C (LCM cannot perform firmware upgrades) is incorrect:

LCM can perform manual firmware upgrades, but automatic updates are not supported.

Option D (LCM lacks internet connectivity) is incorrect:

Even if the cluster is in a dark site (no internet), LCM can use local update bundles.

Question 6

What would cause an LCM pre-check event with the test_esx_entering_mm_pinned_vms check during an AOS upgrade?

AHA priority settings are misconfigured.

BHost has insufficient memory.

CVMs on the host have high CPU usage.

DAffinity rules are configured to prevent VM migration.

Answer : D

Question 7

An administrator want to create a VM with memory overcommit features enabled in Nutanix environment.

Which statement best describes how the administrator will perform this VM creation?

AMemory overcommit can be enabled while creating a VM using Prism Element Web Console.

BMemory overcommit can only be updated using the Prism Central console.

CMemory overcommit can only be updated using the Prism Element Web Console once VM created.

DMemory overcommit can not be enabled for VM from the Prism Central console.
