A team member has built a CentOS VM image for use as a template. An administrator deploys a new VM using the CentOS image as the 05 drive. No other drives are presented to the VM.
Following the deployment, the administrator attempts to boot the VM, but is unsuccessful.
What could be causing this issue?
- A . The VMS Boot Priority must reference disk first before CD-ROW
- B . The VM’s Disk (scsi.O) setting must be set to make this disk bootable
- C . No Volume Groups have been created for the VM
- D . The CentOS VM image was built with UEF:
An Administrator needs to provide users access to prism Central Projects.
What Source of user accounts must the administrator Use?
- A . Local Users
- B . Open LDAP
- C . Active Directory
- D . SAML2 Provider
An administrator is deploying a virtual firewall on each node in an AHV cluster and wants each VM to maintain affinity to its host.
How can an administrator achieve this goal most efficiently?
- A . Create VM Protection Policies
- B . Set the VM labels as firewalls
- C . Create VM Annotations
- D . Set the VMs as Agent VMs
D
Explanation:
To ensure that each VM maintains affinity to its host, the administrator can set the VMs as Agent VMs. In Nutanix AHV, Agent VMs are typically infrastructure VMs that are bound to a specific host and do not migrate during maintenance mode or failover scenarios.
From Prism Central, how can an administrator access a cluster?
- A . Use the VM Summary view.
- B . Use the cluster quick access from the main dashboard widget.
- C . Use the cluster quick access from the Settings page.
- D . Use the Cluster Summary view.
B
Explanation:
From Prism Central’s main dashboard page, an administrator can access any cluster by clicking the cluster quick access link. This will open the cluster summary page, which contains detailed information about the cluster, including the nodes, virtual machines, and applications running on the cluster.

When should Pulse be disabled?
- A . When the cluster is connected to the Internet with less than 1GbE.
- B . When the cluster is deployed in 3 dark-site.
- C . Before any cluster maintenance activities requiring node reboots.
- D . Only under the guidance of Nutanix Support.
D
Explanation:
Pulse should only be disabled under the guidance of Nutanix Support and not for any other reason. Pulse is a feature of the Nutanix cluster that enables the cluster to report back health and performance data to Nutanix for troubleshooting and performance optimization purposes. Disabling Pulse without the guidance of Nutanix Support is not recommended, as it could lead to potential issues with the cluster.

What data is stored as a file on storage devices owned by a CVM?
- A . Storage Pool
- B . vDisk
- C . Extent Group
- D . Container
B
Explanation:
In Nutanix, a virtual disk (vDisk) is a file that is stored on storage devices owned by a CVM (Controller Virtual Machine). A vDisk is a virtual representation of a physical disk and it is used to store the data of a virtual machine. Each virtual machine has one or more vDisks associated with it, and these vDisks can be stored on different types of storage media, such as solid-state drives (SSDs) and hard disk drives (HDDs). The vDisks are stored in a container that is managed by the CVM, and it is the basic building block for storing virtual machine data on the Nutanix cluster. Storage Pool, Extent Group, and Container are all related concepts but different entities in Nutanix. A storage pool is a collection of physical storage devices that are used to store virtual machine data. An extent group is a collection of storage extents that are used to store virtual machine data. A container is a logical grouping of virtual machines, virtual disks, and other objects in Nutanix.

When a VM generates I/O, which Nutanix component is serving the storage request?
- A . Hypervisor
- B . Prism
- C . HDD disks
- D . CVM
What is the biggest benefit of the Redfish Protocol and LCM?
- A . HBA and NIC card update twice as quickly
- B . AOS and AHV update twice as quickly
- C . BMC and BIOS update twice as quickly
- D . SSD and HDD update twice as quickly
C
Explanation:
The Redfish Protocol and Lifecycle Manager (LCM) provide the biggest benefit of allowing BMC and BIOS updates to be done twice as quickly as before. This is because Redfish and LCM allow for updates to be done in parallel, rather than serially, which reduces the amount of time it takes for an update to be completed.

An administrator needs to expand a Nutanix cluster that is tagging the network traffic at the CVM and AHV level. However, the administrator doesn’t remember the configured VLAN ID.
Which command can the administrator run to find the correct VLAN ID from the CVM?
- A . ifconfig
- B . manage-ovs
- C . acli
- D . ovs-vscl
Which IP address can be used to directly access Prism Element?
- A . Foundation VM IP address
- B . IP address of any CVM in the cluster
- C . IP address of any Prism Central VM
- D . AHV host br0 IP address
B
Explanation:
Prism Element is the management interface for Nutanix clusters and it can be accessed through the IP address of any CVM (Controller Virtual Machine) in the cluster. The CVM is a virtual machine that runs on each Nutanix node and is responsible for managing the storage and compute resources of the node. Each CVM has a unique IP address, and any of these IP addresses can be used to directly access Prism Element. Accessing Prism Element through the IP address of a CVM allows the administrator to manage the cluster, including configuring storage, creating and managing virtual machines, and monitoring the health of the cluster.
It’s important to note that Prism Central is a separate application and it doesn’t have the same functions as Prism Element, it’s mainly used for multi-cluster management.
