Nutanix NCP-US - Questions & Answers

Explanation: The administrator can achieve this request by deleting and recreating a new Objects store with the updated name. Objects is a feature that allows users to create and manage object storage clusters on a Nutanix cluster. Objects clusters can provide S3- compatible access to buckets and objects for various applications and users. Objects clusters can be created and configured in Prism Central.
However, once an Objects cluster is created, its name cannot be changed or edited. Therefore, the only way to change the name of an Objects cluster is to delete the existing cluster and create a new cluster with the updated name.

Explanation: Nutanix Volumes allows physical servers to boot from a volume group that is exposed as an iSCSI target from the data services IP. To ensure high availability and load balancing, multipath I/O (MPIO) is required on the physical server. Object buckets cannot be used for booting physical servers 1.

Explanation: The Nutanix-enabled technology that meets these requirements is Objects -WORM with versioning. WORM (Write-Once Read-Many) is a feature that prevents anyone from modifying or deleting data in a bucket while the policy is active. WORM policies help comply with strict data retention regulations that mandate how long specific data must be stored. Versioning is a feature that keeps multiple versions of an object in a bucket whenever it is overwritten or deleted. Versioning policies help preserve previous versions of an object for backup or recovery purposes. By enabling WORM and versioning for an Objects bucket, the administrator can ensure that data is kept for two years without being deleted or overwritten.

Explanation: The number of configurable snapshots that are supported for SSR in a file server is 200. SSR (Snapshot-based Replication) is a feature that allows administrators to replicate snapshots of shares or exports from one file server to another file server on a different cluster or site for disaster recovery purposes. SSR can be configured with various parameters, such as replication frequency, replication status, replication mode, etc. SSR supports up to 200 configurable snapshots per share or export in a file
server.

Explanation: The most likely cause for this issue is that the file server resides on a single node cluster. A distributed share is a type of SMB share or NFS export that distributes the hosting of top-level directories across multiple FSVMs, which improves load balancing and performance. A distributed share cannot be created on a single node cluster, because there is only one FSVM available. A distributed share requires at least two nodes in the cluster to distribute the directories. Therefore, the option to use distributed share/ export type instead of standard is not present when creating a share on a single node cluster.

Explanation: The data protection illustrated in the exhibit is Smart DR. Smart DR is a feature that allows share-level replication between active file server instances for disaster recovery. Smart DR can replicate shares from a primary FSI to one or more recovery FSIs on different clusters or sites. Smart DR can also perform failover and failback operations in case of a disaster or planned maintenance. The exhibit shows a Smart DR configuration with one primary FSI and two recovery FSIs.

Explanation: The configuration that is required for an Objects deployment is to configure NTP servers on both Prism Element and Prism Central. NTP (Network Time Protocol) is a protocol that synchronizes the clocks of devices on a network with a reliable time source. NTP servers are devices that provide accurate time information to other devices on a network. Configuring NTP servers on both Prism Element and Prism Central is required for an Objects deployment, because it ensures that the time settings are consistent and accurate across the Nutanix cluster and the Objects cluster, which can prevent any synchronization issues
or errors.

Explanation: Nutanix Volumes allows administrators to provision a volume group with one or more volumes that can be attached to multiple VMs or physical servers via iSCSI. This enables the creation of a Microsoft Server Failover Cluster that uses shared storage for a critical application. The volume group can be attached to VMs running on an AHV-hosted cluster and bare metal servers for maximum resiliency 1.
