NCA-6.10 Reviews Questions

The correct answer isB. Disabled.

When creating a new storage container in Prism Element or Prism Central,compression is disabled by default. The administrator mustexplicitly enableone of the available compression options:

Inline Compression

Post-process Compression

If no compression type is selected, the container remains uncompressed.

UI Navigation Path:

Storage > Storage Containers > Create Container > Compression Settings

Clarifications:

A (60 mins)andC (15 mins): Not standard default post-process intervals.

D (Inline): Must be manually selected.

Official Reference:

Nutanix Storage Administration Guide – Creating and Configuring Containers

Excerpt: “Compression is disabled by default during container creation. Admins must select inline or post-process if desired.”

Answer: B

The correct answer isC. Pulse.

Pulseis Nutanix's integrated telemetry and support communication service. WhenPulse is enabled, it provides automatic delivery and updates of Nutanix software tools, including theNutanix Cluster Check (NCC)utility. This allows the system toautomatically download and apply newer versions of NCCwithout requiring manual intervention.

Clarifications:

A (LCM HTTPS):Refers to LCM transport protocol, unrelated to NCC updates.

B (Daily Digest):A reporting feature, not an update mechanism.

D (LCM Auto Inventory):Related to firmware/software inventory, not to NCC or system utilities.

Prism UI Navigation Path:

Settings > Pulse > Enable Pulse

Nutanix Support FAQ

Excerpt: “NCC auto-update is available when Pulse is enabled, allowing Nutanix to deliver updated NCC versions directly to the cluster.”

Answer: C

Nutanix Distributed Storage Fabric (DSF) provides storage access to an ESXi hypervisor using theNFS (Network File System)protocol. DSF abstracts the underlying storage hardware and exposes storage as an NFS datastore to ESXi hosts. This integration enables high performance, data protection, and scalability while simplifying storage management.

Other options:

LVM: Not used in Nutanix storage.

iSCSI: Used for specific use cases, not the default protocol for ESXi.

SMB: Not supported for ESXi environments.

The correct answer isB. Active/Backup.

Foredge environmentswith limited uplink capacity, such as1GbE, the recommended bond mode isActive/Backupdue to the following reasons:

Providesredundancywithout requiring link aggregation support from the upstream switch.

Avoids complexity and performance imbalance that can occur with hashing algorithms in other modes (e.g., Balance-SLB).

Round RobinandBalance-SLBcan causepacket reordering, performance issues, and are not ideal for low-throughput links.

Prism Element Configuration Path:

Network Configuration > Host NIC Bonding Mode

Official Reference:

Nutanix Network Best Practices Guide – Edge Deployment Section

Excerpt: “For clusters using 1GbE uplinks, Active/Backup bond mode is recommended for high availability without complexity.”

Answer: B
