Question 1

An administrator manages a Nutanix cluster with software data-at-rest encryption enabled using an external KMS. Several VMs are configured with vTPM to support Windows BitLocker encryption. The administrator needs to perform a disaster recovery operation and restore the VMs on a different cluster. During the recovery, the administrator discovers that the encryption key backup file is unavailable. What is the expected outcome for the vTPM-enabled VMs?

Options :

A : The VMs will fail to start because BitLocker will not prompt for the recovery key on first boot.

B : The VMs will start successfully with a new vTPM device automatically attached during the restore process.

C : The VMs will fail to start successfully because the external KMS provides the vTPM keys directly to the new cluster.

D : The VMs will fail to start because the vTPM keys cannot be recovered without the backup file.

Answer: D

Question 2

An administrator wants to enable secure boot for a guest VM. Which condition would prevent the administrator from completing this task?

Options :

A : CVM has insufficient RAM.

B : Node has insufficient cache storage.

C : VM is configured with IDE disks.

D : VM is utilizing UEFI mode.

Answer: C

Question 3

After logging into Prism Central, an administrator observes that there are a large number of constrained VMs. What does this indicate about those VMs?

Options :

A : They are inactive and in a zombie state.

B : They are lacking in sufficient resources.

C : They are over-sized and wasting memory.

D : They are consuming too much CPU.

Answer: B

Question 4

An administrator configures network segmentation and places the Data Services IP (DSIP) in a secondary non-routable subnet while the cluster is registered to Prism Central. Prism Central cannot initiate or complete cluster upgrades. How should the administrator resolve this issue?

Options :

A : Enable proxy ARP within the Nutanix VLAN to establish reachability.

B : Disable segmentation on the local cluster until the next upgrade cycle.

C : Configure an additional DSIP within the original subnet used for PC communication.

D : Use a single uplink because segmented networks do not tolerate redundancy.

Answer: C

Question 5

An administrator manages a shared AHV environment where Dev workloads must not exceed 2,000 IOPS per VM during business hours to prevent noisy-neighbor impact on Prod. The administrator already uses categories to group VMs (for example, category Env=Dev) and wants a scalable approach that applies consistent throttling to all current and future Dev VMs without configuring each VM individually. Which approach best meets the requirement?

Options :

A : Increase the replication factor for Dev workloads so additional copies distribute I/O and cap IOPS.

B : Configure a storage policy with QoS throttling and associate the policy to the category used by Dev VMs.

C : Set Storage QoS attributes on one representative Dev VM, then clone that VM so all Dev VMs inherit the QoS settings.

D : Enable compression on the storage container hosting Dev VMs to reduce latency and enforce an effective IOPS limit.
