Discuss Nutanix NCP-US Exam Topic 3 Question 18

Which protocols are supported by Files?

ASMBv2 SMBv3, NFSv2, NFSv3

BSMBv1. SMBv2, NFSv2, NFSv3

CSMBv1. SMBv2, NFSv3, NFSv4

DSMBv2 SMBv3, NFSv3, NFSv4

Suggested Answer: A

According to Nutanix Volumes - Recommendations And Best Practices1, ''Multiple disks per Nutanix node may also improve an application's performance. For performance-intensive environments, we recommend using between four and eight disks per CVM for a given workload.'' Therefore, the administrator should use multiple vDisks in the Volume Group to distribute the SQL workload across more disks and nodes.

B seems off, SMBv1 is outdated and not recommended.

Lawanda 11 months ago

I agree with A, but SMBv1 should be avoided anyway.

Isabelle 11 months ago

Wait, are we sure about that? I thought NFSv4 was supported.

Annett 11 months ago

Definitely A, NFSv4 isn't mentioned anywhere.

Tijuana 11 months ago

I think it's A, SMBv2 and SMBv3 are pretty standard.

Aja 11 months ago

I’m leaning towards option D because I remember SMBv3 being the latest version, but I’m not entirely confident.

Erick 12 months ago

I want to say NFSv4 is supported, but I can't recall if it's in the same group as NFSv3.

Elliott 12 months ago

I practiced a similar question, and I feel like SMBv1 is outdated, so it might not be in the options.

Myra 1 year ago

I think I remember that SMBv2 and SMBv3 are definitely supported, but I'm not sure about NFS versions.

Luis 1 year ago

Hmm, I'm not totally sure about this one. I'll need to review my notes on file sharing protocols before I can feel confident answering.

Graham 1 year ago

I've got this! SMBv1 is the oldest, then SMBv2 and SMBv3 are the newer versions. And NFS has v2, v3, and v4. I think the answer is C.

Apolonia 1 year ago

Wait, what's the difference between SMBv2 and SMBv3 again? I'm a bit fuzzy on the details of these protocols.

Aracelis 1 year ago

Okay, let's see. I know SMB and NFS are the main file sharing protocols, so I'll focus on those and try to remember the version numbers.

Angelyn 1 year ago

Hmm, this looks like a tricky one. I'll need to think carefully about the different file sharing protocols and which versions are supported by Files.

Zoila 1 year ago

I'm pretty sure the purpose of DANE is to verify the integrity of name information retrieved via DNS, so I'll go with option A.

Glory 1 year ago

I got this! Option A has all the right commands to open up the firewall. Time to put my iptables knowledge to the test.

Haha, the answer is definitely D. Who doesn't love a good old SMBv2 and SMBv3 combo with some NFSv3 and NFSv4 on the side?

Woah, this is a tricky one! I'm going to go with B. SMBv1, SMBv2, NFSv2, and NFSv3 sound like the right protocols.
