The customer expects to maintain a cluster runway of 9 months. The customer doesn't have a budget for 6 months but they want to add new workloads to the existing cluster.
Based on the exhibit, what is required to meet the customer's budgetary timeframe?
The exhibit shows that the overall runway is only 66 days, meaning that the current cluster does not have enough capacity to sustain workloads for 6 months, let alone 9 months.
The best solution is to add resources to the cluster (Option A), such as CPU, memory, or storage, to extend the runway.
Postponing new workloads (Option B) may help in the short term but does not align with the business need to continue adding workloads.
Deleting workloads (Option C) is not a viable option because the customer wants to add more, not remove them.
Changing the target to 9 months (Option D) does not change the actual resource constraints; it only alters the target timeframe.

Which predefined view in Prism Central's Intelligent Operations should be used to determine which VM is consuming excessive resources and causing performance issues for others?
The Bully VMs List (Option C) in Prism Central's Intelligent Operations identifies VMs consuming excessive CPU, memory, or storage, which negatively affects other VMs.
Option A (Inactive VMs List) is used for identifying unused VMs but does not detect performance issues.
Option B (Overprovisioned VMs List) helps identify VMs with excessive allocated resources, but it does not focus on live performance impact.
Option D (Constrained VMs List) highlights VMs suffering from resource contention, not those causing it.

An administrator has configured AHV Metro Availability with Witness and is testing failover scenarios.
During testing, the administrator disconnects the primary and recovery clusters but Prism Central remains connected to the recovery site.
What are two expected system behaviors? (Choose two.)
When connectivity between Metro clusters is lost, Nutanix Metro Availability ensures data integrity using Witness for automatic failover.
Option A (Guest VM I/O operations pause until connectivity is restored) is correct:
Metro Availability enforces data consistency, so I/O operations pause until failover is confirmed.
Option C (Guest VMs failover automatically to the recovery cluster) is correct:
The Witness VM detects the failure and initiates an automatic failover to the secondary cluster.
Option B is incorrect:
Prism Central does not control VM failover in Metro Availability.
Option D is incorrect:
The primary cluster is unreachable, so VMs cannot continue running there.

What guest customization options are available when creating a VM template?
Guest customization options allow administrators to automate OS configuration during VM deployment from a template.
Option A (Sysprep, Cloud-init, Custom Script, Guided Script) is correct:
Sysprep (for Windows) and Cloud-init (for Linux) enable custom OS configurations.
Custom Scripts can be used for advanced automation.
Options B and C are incorrect:
Bash, Powershell, Python, and YAML can be used in automation, but they are not guest customization options in VM templates.
Option D is incorrect:
Guest customization is fully supported in Nutanix templates.

An administrator notices high CPU usage on a VM and wants to determine whether adding more vCPUs would improve performance.
Which two metrics should be analyzed to make this decision? (Choose two.)
When diagnosing CPU performance issues, CPU Ready Time and CPU Usage are the key indicators of whether more vCPUs are needed.
Option A (VM CPU Ready Time) is correct:
High CPU Ready Time means the VM is waiting for CPU resources, indicating CPU contention.
Option B (VM CPU Usage) is correct:
If CPU usage is consistently high, adding more vCPUs may improve performance.
Option C (Host CPU Usage) is incorrect:
Host-wide CPU usage does not indicate whether a specific VM needs more vCPUs.
Option D (Host Memory Swap Out Rate) is incorrect:
Memory swapping affects RAM performance, not CPU allocation.
