After deployment of a Nutanix cluster, a customer has requested to validate the peak performance of the cluster.
Which tool can a consultant use to satisfy this request?
To validate the peak performance of a deployed Nutanix cluster, the consultant can use:
A . Nutanix X-Ray: X-Ray is a performance testing tool specifically designed for Nutanix environments, capable of simulating a variety of workloads and scenarios to measure and report on the cluster's performance capabilities.
Nutanix Bible (https://www.nutanixbible.com), where X-Ray and its capabilities are detailed.
An administrator needs to evaluate if the existing configuration of Protection Domains meets the specified corporate recovery policy for SQL Dat
a. The corporate policy requires that all SQL Servers be recoverable at the DR site within 30 minutes, and must result in a maximum of 60 minutes of data loss. SQL data must be required.
The protection domain is configured as follows:
* Application consistent snapshots are enabled
* The SQL server VMs are assigned to the Protection Domain as their own Consistency Group
* The Protection Domain schedule is configured as snapshots taken every 90 minutes from 7 am until 8 pm
What must be changed to meet the required policy?
A VDI environment based on AHV Cluster is not performing well. The current environment is using only one bridge (Bridge0). The administrator needs to verify if nodes are using all network cards associated to Bridge0.
Which two menus should be used to check the current configuration? (Choose two.)
A consultant creates a new cluster using ESXi as the hypervisor. After creating the cluster, the consultant begins to run Life Cycle Manager (LCM) updates. During the LCM upgrade pre-checks, an error is returned.
Which configuration is causing this issue?
The error during LCM pre-checks in an ESXi-based Nutanix cluster with HA enabled is most likely due to the ESXi cluster admission control being enabled. Admission control is a feature in VMware ESXi that reserves resources for HA purposes to ensure that sufficient resources are available in the event of host failures. When admission control is enabled, it can interfere with Nutanix LCM operations, which may require resource reallocation or reconfiguration that conflicts with the reserved capacities set by admission control. Disabling admission control during LCM updates would typically resolve this issue. Reference: VMware documentation on HA and Admission Control, Nutanix LCM documentation.
A customer wants to ensure that the Data Protection configuration using Protection Domains is fully functional.
The consultant has configured a protection domain for newly-created VMs with static IP addresses on multiple VLANs. The network administrator confirmed that the correct subnets exist at both physical sites.
After performing a failover operation, the virtual machines are turned back on but have no network access.
Which statement describes this issue?
If after performing a failover operation the virtual machines have no network access despite the network administrator confirming the correct subnets at both sites, the likely issue is:
A . Network mappings are not configured for the Remote Site: This configuration oversight means that although the VMs are online, they do not have appropriate network settings that correspond to the network environment at the failover site, resulting in connectivity issues.
