Which two capabilities does IPAM provide in a Nutanix networking configuration? (Choose two.)

Correct Answer:BC
According to the Nutanix Support & Insights, IPAM enables AHV to assign IP addresses automatically to VMs using DHCP. You can configure each virtual network and associated VLAN with a specific IP subnet, associated domain settings, and group of IP address pools
available for assignment.

While installing Windows 2019 on a new VM on an AHV cluster, an administrator notices there aren??t any drives listed for the install.
What might the problem be?

Correct Answer:B
VirtIO drivers are device drivers that are specifically designed for virtualized environments. They allow the guest operating system to communicate directly with the underlying hardware, bypassing the emulation layer. This improves the performance and efficiency of the virtual machines. VirtIO drivers are supported by various hypervisors, including Nutanix AHV1.
Nutanix AHV uses SCSI disks for VMs by default. However, Windows does not have native support for SCSI disks and requires VirtIO drivers to recognize them. Therefore, if an administrator is installing Windows 2019 on a new VM on an AHV cluster, they need to install the VirtIO drivers before selecting the destination disk for the installation. Otherwise, they will not see any drives listed for the install2.
To install the VirtIO drivers during Windows installation, the administrator can use one of the following methods3:
✑ Use a VirtIO ISO image that contains the driver files. The administrator can
download the VirtIO ISO image from the Nutanix support portal and upload it to the
AHV image service. Then, they can attach the VirtIO ISO image to the VM as a CD-ROM device and load the driver from it during Windows installation.
✑ Use a Nutanix Guest Tools (NGT) ISO image that contains the driver files and
other tools. The administrator can download the NGT ISO image from Prism Element or Prism Central and attach it to the VM as a CD-ROM device. Then, they can load the driver from it during Windows installation.
✑ Use a floppy disk image that contains only the driver files. The administrator can
create a floppy disk image using tools such as WinImage or WinRAR and upload it to the AHV image service. Then, they can attach the floppy disk image to the VM as a floppy device and load the driver from it during Windows installation.

Refer to the exhibit.

An administrator is trying to implement the solution that is shown in the exhibit, but has been unsuccessful.
Based on the diagram, what is causing the issue?

Correct Answer:C
The correct answer is C. Network latency.
The diagram shows a solution that uses synchronous replication between two remote protection domains, cluster site A and cluster site B. Synchronous replication is a feature that allows near-zero RPO (recovery point objective) by replicating data to the remote site before acknowledging writes to the local site. However, synchronous replication has some requirements and limitations that must be met for it to work properly. One of these requirements is that the network latency between the two sites must be less than or equal to 5 ms1. If the network latency is higher than 5 ms, the synchronous replication will fail and the protection policy will be suspended2.
Therefore, based on the diagram, the most likely cause of the issue is that the network latency between cluster site A and cluster site B is higher than 5 ms, which prevents the synchronous replication from working. To verify this, the administrator can use the ??ncli cluster ping?? command to measure the network latency between the two sites3. If the network latency is indeed higher than 5 ms, the administrator can either improve the network performance or switch to a different replication mode, such as near-synchronous or asynchronous.

An administrator needs to bring down a host in a Nutanix Cluster for maintenance reasons. The administrator puts the host in maintenance mode.
What should the administrator do to perform an orderly shutdown of the CVM?

Correct Answer:A
According to the How to use the cvm_shutdown script web search result3, the cvm_shutdown script signals HA when shutting down the CVM (Controller VM) to forward the storage traffic to another healthy CVM. Instead of using sudo shutdown or sudo reboot commands, this script should be used to minimize I/O hits in user VMs running on the present hypervisor host. The cvm_shutdown -P now command will initiate the shutdown process on the CVM immediately. Therefore, if the administrator needs to perform an orderly shutdown of the CVM, they should execute this command from the CVM.

A configuration is single domain, single forest, and does not use SSL.
Which port number should be used to configure LDAP?

Correct Answer:A
Port 389 is the default port for LDAP without SSL encryption. Port 636 is used for LDAP over SSL (LDAPS). Port 3268 and 3269 are used for Global Catalog (GC) and Global Catalog over SSL (GCSSL), respectively2.
