Question 13

An administratormigrated a physical MySQL databasefrom alegacy 3-tier environment to aNutanix cluster.
After migration, the administrator finds that atpeak load, the number of IOPS is lower than expected, andlatency is higher.
Which two steps should the administrator take to improve performance? (Choose two.)

Correct Answer:BC
For high-performance databases like MySQL, optimizing storage access is critical.
✑ Option B (Create additional vDisks for SQL data) is correct:
✑ Option C (Use LVM to stripe SQL data across multiple vDisks) is correct:
✑ Option A (Thick provisioned vDisks) is incorrect:
✑ Option D (Thin provisioned vDisks) is incorrect:

Question 14

ADisaster Recovery administratorhas set up aProtection Policy for 50 workloads, all configured similarly.
TheRPO is 60 minuteswith aspecified retention of 10 local copies, 5 remote copies, and crash consistency.
After activation,recovery points are not appearing at the DR site, even though they are
visible on the production side. What is the most likely issue?

Correct Answer:C
For Disaster Recovery to function correctly, the source and destination storage containersmust have identical names.
✑ Option C (Storage container name mismatch) is correct:
✑ Option A (NGT not installed) is incorrect:
✑ Option B (Windows updates) is incorrect:
✑ Option D (Storage RF factor mismatch) is incorrect:

Question 15

An administrator started anLCM upgrade of the AHV hostsbut realized that theupgrade would exceed the planned maintenance window.
Which feature should be leveraged to prevent additional updates from occurring?

Correct Answer:D
When performing aLife Cycle Manager (LCM) upgrade, therecommended way to stop the process is to use the ??Stop Update?? feature in LCM (Option D).
✑ Option A (Cancel via Ergon ecli)is not a recommended approach since manually interfering with running tasks can cause inconsistencies.
✑ Option B (lcm_task_cleanup.py script)is used for post-upgrade cleanup but does not stop ongoing updates.
✑ Option C (Restarting Genesis)does not stop an LCM upgrade and can cause instability.

Question 16

Due toapplication requirements, an administrator needs to support amulticast configurationin anAHV cluster.
Which AHV feature can be used to optimize network traffic so that multicast traffic is only forwarded to the VMs that need to receive it?

Correct Answer:C
Multicast traffic can generate unnecessary overhead if it is not properly managed.IGMP Snooping (Option C)ensures thatmulticast packets are only sent to VMs that have requested them, rather than broadcasting to all VMs.
✑ Option C (IGMP Snooping) is correct:
✑ Option A (LACP) is incorrect:
✑ Option B (UDP) is incorrect:
✑ Option D (Network Segmentation) is incorrect:

Question 17

An administrator wants toenable application discoveryon aNutanix clusterto monitor applications. APrism Central instanceis alreadyconfigured with sufficient CPU and memory.
What other prerequisites must be met before enabling application discovery? (Choose two.)

Correct Answer:AB
Application discovery in Prism Central requires sufficient Prism Central resources and an active internet connection to retrieve application signatures.
✑ Option A (Sufficient Prism Central VM resources) is correct:
✑ Option B (Internet connection) is correct:
✑ Option C (API key and key ID) is incorrect:
✑ Option D (Network controller enabled) is incorrect:
