Actual exam question for Nutanix's NCP-MCI exam
Question #: 25
Topic #: 3
[All NCP-MCI Questions]

When installing Nutanix Guest Tools (NGT) on an ESXi-hosted VM, which port should be enabled on the VM to allow communication with the NGT-Controller VM service?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: D

NGT is a software package that enables advanced VM management features provided by Nutanix, such as file-level restore, VM mobility, and application-consistent snapshots12.To use NGT, you need to enable the NGT feature for a VM in the Prism Element web console, mount the NGT installer (ISO disk file) in the VM, and install NGT in the VM1.However, before installing NGT, you need to ensure that the VM can communicate with the NGT-Controller VM service, which runs on the Controller VM (CVM) of each Nutanix node3.The NGT-Controller VM service listens on port 9943 for incoming requests from the guest VMs3. Therefore, you need to enable port 9943 on the ESXi-hosted VM to allow communication with the NGT-Controller VM service.

I'm a bit confused on this one. I know Nutanix has a lot of different ports and services, so I'll need to review my notes to make sure I pick the right one.

Okay, let me think this through. The question is asking about the port needed to communicate with the NGT-Controller VM, so it's likely one of the standard ports used by that service.

Wait, there's a Nutanix Guest Tools? I thought we just used the standard VMware Tools. Is Nutanix trying to reinvent the wheel here?

C) 8080 sounds about right. That's a common port used for web-based applications, so it would make sense for the NGT-Controller VM to use it.
