Nutanix NCP-US Exam - Topic 10 Question 46 Discussion

Actual exam question for Nutanix's NCP-US exam

Question #: 46
Topic #: 10

An administrator needs to scale out an existing Files instance. Based on the Company's requirements, File instance has four FSVMs configured and needs to expand to six.

How many additional Client IP addresses and Storage IP addresses does the administrator require to complete this task?

A3 Client IPs and 2 Storage IPs

B2 Client IPs and 2 Storage IPs

C3 Client IPs and 3 Storage IPs

D2 Client IPs and 3 Storage IPs

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

The administrator can meet this requirement by configuring data protection policies in the Files view in Prism Central. Data protection policies are policies that define how file data is protected by taking snapshots, replicating them to another site, or tiering them to cloud storage. Data protection policies can be configured for each share or export in a file server in the Files view in Prism Central. The administrator can create different data protection policies for different shares or exports based on their protection needs and requirements.Reference:Nutanix Files Administration Guide, page 79; Nutanix Files Solution Guide, page 9

I vaguely remember that each FSVM requires both types of IPs, so maybe we need 2 more of each? That seems like a safe guess.

This question seems similar to one we practiced where we had to calculate IPs for scaling. I feel like it's 3 Client IPs and 2 Storage IPs, but I could be mixing it up.

I think we might need 2 additional Client IPs since we're adding 2 FSVMs, but I can't recall the Storage IPs clearly.

I remember that each FSVM needs a Client IP and a Storage IP, but I'm not sure how many more we need for the new ones.

I'm a bit unsure about this one. I'll need to carefully read through the details and make sure I understand the requirements before attempting to solve it.

Alright, I've got this. The key is to determine how many additional Client IPs and Storage IPs are needed to support the 2 new FSVMs.

Okay, let me think this through. The question states the Files instance currently has 4 FSVMs and needs to expand to 6. So I'll need to calculate the difference.

Hmm, this seems straightforward. I just need to figure out how many additional IP addresses are required to scale from 4 to 6 FSVMs.

Wait, so we're expanding the File instance but we can't use the existing IP addresses? That's like trying to expand your house by building a new one next door. What is this, a tech exam or a real estate quiz?

Exactly, we need to allocate new IP addresses to accommodate the expansion of the File instance.

I'm pretty confident the answer is B) 2 Client IPs and 2 Storage IPs. Adding two new FSVMs would require a total of 6 Client IPs and 6 Storage IPs, and we already have 4 of each, so the answer is 2 of each.

Haha, this question is a real brain-teaser! I'm going to go with C) 3 Client IPs and 3 Storage IPs, just to be on the safe side. You can never have too many IP addresses, right?

I agree, having extra IPs can definitely come in handy. It's better to be prepared for any unexpected situations.

I think you're on the right track with C) 3 Client IPs and 3 Storage IPs. It's always better to have extra IPs just in case.

Hmm, I'm not sure. Does the question mean we need to add 2 FSVMs or just expand the existing 4? I might go with D) 2 Client IPs and 3 Storage IPs, just to be safe.
