Question 1

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 2

An administrator needs to adjust the settings of an existing virtual machine. Which parameter is restricted from modification once the VM has been created?

Options :

A : BIOS mode

B : vCPU count

C : Boot priority

D : Memory allocation

Answer: A

Question 3

An administrator added an SSH public key and verified connectivity to CVMs and AHV hosts. What is the recommended next step to reduce interactive access risk?

Options :

A : Enable core dumps on AHV hosts for post-incident analysis.

B : Disable password authentication for all CVMs and AHV hosts.

C : Enable a login banner on Prism Central to acknowledge access terms.

D : Increase the number of concurrent Prism Central UI sessions.

Answer: B

Question 4

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.

Answer: B

Question 5

Due to user complaints of slow VM performance, an administrator is reviewing performance metrics on their Nutanix cluster and executes `iostat` on a Controller VM (CVM). The following output is captured: `#TIMESTAMP 1768953673 : 016 12:01:13 AM` `avg-cpu: %user %nice %system %iowait %steal %idle`2 0.09 7.53 83.20 0.00 6.86` Based on this output, which statement most accurately describes the current state of the CVM?

Options :

A : The CVM is likely waiting on disk I/O operations to complete, suggesting a potential bottleneck in the storage subsystem or underlying physical drives.

B : The CVM is suffering from excessive network throughput congestion, resulting in a high percentage of CPU cycles being dedicated to interrupt processing.

C : The CVM is under heavy computational load from Nutanix services, as evidenced by the high percentage of active processing cycles currently in use.

D : The CVM is experiencing significant CPU contention from the hypervisor, as indicated by the discrepancy between low user percentage and high system overhead.
