ANSWERS 100% CORRECT
volumes - ANSWER-A prospective customer uses both Oracle and Microsoft products
for critical applications. The prospect. prefers an all flash array over HCI, because they
have made a recent, significant investment in physical servers for their Oracle
environment to save on licensing costs. Which feature should be discussed to address
this objection?
A prospect customer's expected workload consists of the following: 110 vCPU 512GB
RAM * 500TB Storage They need a solution to help decrease storage costs. The
majority of their storage requirements come from an imaging application that stores
scanned JPEG images. Which two Nutanix capabilities should be leveraged? (Choose
two.) - ANSWER-Erasure Coding Compression
A System engineer (SE) is gathering requirements to size a hybrid cluster to replace a
prospect's existing IT test and development environment. The prospective customer has
indicated the cluster contains no business critical applications and has provided the
aggregate vCPU and RAM requirements of the existing cluster. which two additional
items does the SE require to size the cluster?(Choose two) - ANSWER-Working Data
Set Storage Capacity
A customer performs a 1-click, non-disruptive upgrade on a 3-node Nutanix cluster.
While the CVM on Node A is rebooting, a VM on Node A overwrites an existing block of
data. How does Nutanix AOS ensure data integrity during the upgrade? Choose Two -
ANSWER--AOS writes two copies across the remaining nodes to maintain resiliency -
AOS only overwrite the available copy and waits until the original copy is back online
before restoring resiliency
A prospective customer provides the data shown captured from their existing
environment using RVTools. The prospect has additional historical CPU utilization data
that indicates peak CPU utilization never exceeds 50% on either physical host, but they
want to keep their current vCPU:pCore ratio. Based on the data provided, which
vCPU:pCore ratio should be used for the Raw input workload in Sizer? - ANSWER-2:1
When using Nutanix Sizer, which solution does the Automatic sizing option provide? -
ANSWER--A solution that balances cost and performance, plus a default 25% growth
capacity
A customer wants to decrease costs and increase efficiency by eliminating NAS silos
and adopting a cloud-like mindset. Which Nutanix product meets these requirements? -
ANSWER-Nutanix Files
, . A healthcare prospect looking to refresh their infrastructure with Nutanix has an
initiative to migrate 5 Petabytes of unstructured, archived patient data. Which Nutanix
product should be the focus of the discussion? - ANSWER-Objects
Which AOS feature provides enhanced read performance specifically for virtual desktop
environments? - ANSWER-Shadow Clones
One of a prospective customer's security analysts asks about Nutanix's security
functionality. The security analyst asks if Nutanix has any feature or capability that
reduces the effort required to assess the security with in the Nutanix infrastructure.
Which benefit does Nutanix SCMA provide to this prospect? - ANSWER-Automates
security compliance checking and remediation
what information can be gathered about the configuration of the VM storage? -
ANSWER-Total disk usage is high
An 8-node hybrid cluster is configured with a Fault Tolerance level of 2 (RF3). All nodes
are identical. Which simultaneous failures will result in VM data being unavailable? -
ANSWER--SSD failures on two nodes and a CVM powered off on another.
A custormer's database administrator is concerned about restoring data locality for their
VMs after they migrate during an AHV upgrade. Which feature that addresses the issue
should the systems engineer highlight? (Choose Two) - ANSWER--All VM data is
moved from the source to the destination node with the VM.-AHV's built-in scheduler
automatically restores data locality
A customer needs to image nodes that are either bare metal or require a different
hypervisor. Which Nutanix tool should be used? - ANSWER-Foundation
Which CVM service is responsible for providing storage to the hypervisor? - ANSWER-
Stargate
A customer needs a tool packaged as a VM that uses realistic workloads paired with
real-world test scenarios for HCI environments. The goal is to benchmark performance
during typica! workflows and failure events. Which Nutanix tool meets these
requirements? - ANSWER-X-Ray
A prospective customer is evaluating solutions to support a project. The systems
engineer proposes a hybrid model as recommended by Sizer. The prospect is
concerned about the performance of a hybrid configuration and is evaluating an all flash
array. Which two Nutanix features should be discussed to address the concerns of the
prospective customer? (Choose two) - ANSWER-AHV Turbo Mode Data Locality
An HA event occurs, which causes a SQL virtual machine to restart on a different node.
What impact will this cation have on Data Locality? - ANSWER-VM data will remain as
originally written and reads will occur across the network.
