Nutanix NCP-MCI-6.10 Online Access

Storage Policies in Nutanix allow administrators to configuredata protection and performance settingsat thestorage container level.

Replication Factor (RF)definesthe number of copies of datastored across nodes for fault tolerance.

Encryptionensures thatdata at rest is protectedvia Nutanix-native encryption methods.

Option A (Storage Containers and Volume Groups)refers tostorage organization, not policies.

Option C (Shares and Object Stores)applies tofile and object storage services, not VM storage policies.

Option D (Data Protection and Security)is a broad term but does not definespecific policy attributes.

InNutanix Capacity Planning,Overall Runwayrepresents how long the cluster can support current and new workloads before resources are exhausted.

Even if the runway is below 365 days, the system considers the cluster to be in good shape if new workloads are sustainable (Option B).

Option A is incorrect: Storage runway alone is not the only factor; CPU and memory are equally important.

Option C is incorrect: The presence of recommended resources does not mean the cluster is in good shape.

Option D is incorrect: The target of 1 month affects projections but does not explain why the cluster is in good shape.

When synchronous replication fails immediately between two clusters, it is often due to blocked communication across the required ports (2009 and 2020). These must be open manually if the clusters are in different subnets or if network policies block traffic.

From theNutanix Enterprise Cloud Administration (ECA)course materials:

“Replication communication relies on specific ports, which must be allowed through the firewall. If the clusters are in different subnets or if there are external firewalls, these ports must be explicitly opened.”

“The modify_firewall command is used to open or close ports on cluster nodes. For replication and remote site communication, eth1 is typically used for external replication traffic.”

Since eth1 is typically used for external connectivity and replication traffic, opening ports on this interface using modify_firewall resolves the communication block.

In a dark site deployment, LCM does not automatically fetch updates from the internet. The administrator must manually upload compatibility bundles.

Option B (The latest compatibility bundle has not been uploaded) is correct:

Thecompatibility bundlecontainsfirmware mappings, allowing LCM to detect the correct BIOS version.

Option A is incorrect:

AOSdoes not need to be upgraded firstfor a BIOS update.

Option C is incorrect:

TheBMC firmware does not always need updatingbefore BIOS updates.

Option D is incorrect:

In a dark site deployment,LCM does not rely on an internet connection, so webserver access is not required.
