Discuss Nutanix NCP-MCI Exam Topic 2 Question 16

An administrator wants to create a trunked interface on a VM on AOS 5.15x.

Which two steps should the administrator take first to achieve this? (Choose two)

AUse acli

BLog in over PE web UI.

CSSH to CVM.

DUpdate VM dialog.

Suggested Answer: A, C

According to the CPU (%) - VMware Docs web search result2, one of the possible causes of high CPU ready % is over-provisioning vCPUs for a VM or having too many VMs on a host. CPU ready % indicates the percentage of time that the VM was ready, but could not get scheduled to run on the physical CPU. High CPU ready % can lead to VM performance problems, such as slow response time or application latency. To improve VM performance, the administrator should reduce the number of vCPUs assigned to VMs or reduce the number of VMs on the hosts, so that there is less contention for CPU resources.

Wait, can you really do this without SSH? Sounds odd!

I agree, acli is essential, but what about the update VM dialog?

Tambra 11 months ago

SSH to CVM? Not sure if that's necessary.

Veronika 11 months ago

I think logging in over PE web UI is also a must.

Leota 11 months ago

Definitely need to use acli for this.

I feel like updating the VM dialog isn't the first thing we would do. I might lean towards the web UI instead.

Hermila 12 months ago

SSH to CVM sounds familiar, but I can't recall if it's necessary for setting up a trunked interface right away.

Vicky 12 months ago

I remember we practiced logging in over the PE web UI for similar questions, so that might be a good choice too.

I think using acli is definitely one of the first steps, but I'm not sure about the second one.

The update VM dialog sounds like the way to go. I'll need to navigate there and find the trunked interface settings. Hopefully, that's the right approach.

Okay, let's see. I think I need to SSH to the CVM and make the changes there. The web UI might be easier, but I want to make sure I'm doing it correctly.

Craig 1 year ago

I'm pretty confident I can handle this. I'll start by using acli to configure the trunked interface on the VM.

Jenise 1 year ago

Hmm, I'm not sure if I should use acli or the PE web UI. I'll need to double-check the steps to make sure I get this right.

This question seems straightforward, but I want to make sure I understand the key points before answering.

Wait, are we sure this isn't a trick question? What if the answer is just 'Call the admin and ask'? *laughs*

Trunked interfaces on a VM? I bet that's a real 'trunk' load of work. *chuckles*

The Update VM dialog? Sounds like the right place to configure a trunked interface. I'll pair that with the acli option.

Sounds like a plan. Let's get started on creating that trunked interface.

Let's start by using acli and then move on to updating the VM dialog.

Yes, I agree. Those two options should help us achieve our goal.

I think using acli and updating the VM dialog are the first steps to create a trunked interface.

Carmen 1 year ago

SSH to the CVM? That's a good idea, but the question asks for the first two steps. I'll choose that, plus the acli option.

Fairy 1 year ago

The PE web UI? That's for managing the whole platform, not specific VM configurations. I'll skip that one.

A) Use acli

Makeda 1 year ago

Hmm, the AOS 5.15x documentation mentions using the acli for trunked interfaces. Better go with option A.

I'm not sure about SSH to CVM. I think logging in over PE web UI might be a better first step.

I agree with Weldon. The second step should be to use acli.

Weldon 2 years ago

I think the first step is to SSH to CVM.
