Nutanix NCA-6.5 Dumps

When updating the LCM Framework on a dark site web server, the LCM Framework Bundle should be extracted to the "release" directory. This directory is specifically designated for holding the updated LCM Framework files, and the update process will look for the files in this location. Extracting the bundle to a different directory, such as "upgrade", "software" or "install" would not be sufficient as the LCM Framework update process may not be able to find the files. Reference:

Direct Upload is a LCM feature that simplifies upgrades on clusters without Internet access. It allows users to upload the desired version of the software to the cluster using a USB drive or other portable storage device, and then install it without the need to access the Internet. Reference: 

To assure system stability and support for critical applications running on a Nutanix cluster, the administrator can adhere to the LTS (Long Term Support) release cycle. LTS releases provide stability and long-term support, with a focus on maintenance and bug fixes rather than new features. This can help ensure that the system remains stable and supported during the annual maintenance window 

The Cluster Runway is located in the Prism Element Analysis dashboard. The Cluster Runway provides an overview of the cluster's performance, including CPU, Memory, and Disk usage, and can be used to identify any potential performance issues. Reference: 

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. Reference: 

Enabling Flash Mode will set the storage tier preference to SSD, meaning that data will be stored on the high-performance SSD storage tier. Flash Mode is designed to speed up the performance of applications by ensuring that the most frequently used data is stored on the faster storage tier. Reference: 

To increase the security of a Nutanix environment in response to a request from a company’s security team, an administrator can Enable STIG (Security Technical Implementation Guide)

Replication Factor is configured on a Container entity. Containers group together virtual disks and files, and allow administrators to set policies on a group level. This allows for increased flexibility in managing storage resources and allows administrators to easily set policies across multiple virtual disks and files.

Replication Factor is configured on Containers. A container is a logical grouping of one or more storage pools and defines the storage resources available to virtual machines. The replication factor is a setting that determines the number of copies of data that are stored across the cluster. By configuring the replication factor on a container, you are setting the number of copies of data that will be stored for all virtual machines that are associated with that container.

For example, if you have a container with a replication factor of 3, it means that three copies of data will be stored across the cluster, and two copies are required to reconstruct the data in case of a failure.

To upgrade the LCM framework to the latest version, the administrator must go to the Settings page of the Prism Central UI, and then select the Upgrade Software option. This will show the available versions of the LCM framework, and allow the administrator to select the desired version and upgrade. Reference: 

HTTP is the only option available for an administrator to upload a remote disk file to Image Configuration. FTP, SCP, and SFTP are not supported by Nutanix. References: (page 24)

Nutanix Objects is a storage service that can store petabytes of unstructured data and supports S3 APIs. It is a distributed object store that provides an easy-to-use interface for storing and managing objects and data. It also provides advanced features such as versioning, replication, encryption, and access control. Reference: 

In Nutanix, all the network uplink ports are connected, but only two of them are carrying traffic at any given time. This is done to provide redundancy and failover in case one of the ports fails. The two ports that are carrying traffic are chosen based on the link aggregation policy configured. The link aggregation policy can be configured to use either Active-Active or Active-Backup mode. In Active-Active mode, both ports are active and carrying traffic, while in Active-Backup mode, only one port is active and carrying traffic, the other port is on standby.

The oplog is a critical component of the Nutanix distributed storage fabric and can be impacted by high CPU Ready time. When the CPU Ready time is high, there can be delays in writing data to the oplog, resulting in slower overall cluster performance. Additionally, high CPU Ready time can also lead to increased write amplification, further reducing I/O performance.

To send weekly performance reviews to several line of business managers about VMs they are managing, the administrator should use Prism Central Reports with a schedule. Prism Central Reports is a tool that allows the administrator to create custom reports, which can include information such as CPU usage, memory usage, and disk I/O for specific VMs. The administrator can schedule the reports to be generated and sent out on a regular basis, such as weekly. This will allow the line of business managers to review the performance of the VMs they are responsible for on a regular basis, and take appropriate actions if necessary. Reference:

Erasure coding is a data efficiency mechanism in Nutanix that replaces the traditional replication factor for suitable data. Erasure coding uses a technique known as "forward error correction" to spread data across multiple drives in a cluster, such that if some drives fail, the data can still be reconstructed. This allows for a much higher storage density and a more efficient use of disk space as compared to traditional replication, where multiple copies of the same data are stored across multiple drives. Deduplication and Compression are also data efficiency mechanisms in Nutanix which help to reduce the storage overhead by eliminating the redundant data. Intelligent Cloning is a Nutanix feature which helps to create multiple instant, space-efficient clones of a VM. Reference:

Labels allow administrators to group related objects, such as VMs, and then apply policies to those labels, rather than having to manually apply the policy to each individual VM. This is the most efficient way for an administrator to apply a security policy to dozens of VMs. Reference: 

An administrator can create an Entity Chart to view the logical usage for multiple storage containers in one chart. This chart can be created from the Prism Element dashboard, and it provides a visual representation of the logical usage of each container, allowing administrators to easily compare the usage of multiple containers at once.

An administrator can create VM Protection Policies to enforce VM to host affinity for each VM in the AHV cluster. This will ensure that the VMs are always running on the same host, even if the cluster is resized or the VMs are migrated to other nodes. This is the most efficient way to achieve the desired goal. Reference: 

A manual VM in-place restore can be performed using the Recovery Point option in Prism Central. This option enables an administrator to restore a VM to a previous state without needing to create a new VM. Reference:
