Question 1

An administrator is deploying a new cluster on Azure and would like to ensure the data is encrypted. Due to cost constraints the deployment will leverage the
native local key manager (LKM).
What is the minimal number of nodes needed to support the Nutanix native LKM?

Accepted Answer

? Local Key Manager (LKM):The native local key manager in Nutanix requires a minimum number of nodes to function correctly and provide key management
services.
? Minimum Node Requirement for LKM:To support the Nutanix native LKM, at least three nodes are needed. This configuration ensures that the key management
service can achieve the necessary quorum and redundancy for secure operations.

Question 2

An administrator needs to configure the correct outbound requirement for a successful cluster deployment in Azure.
Which destination must have an outbound rule to meet this requirement?

Accepted Answer

? Outbound Rule Necessity: For successful cluster deployment, certain outbound connections must be allowed to ensure proper download and configuration of
resources.
? Critical Destination: "Https://downloads.cloud.nutanix.com/*" is a critical endpoint from which the Nutanix software and updates are downloaded during the cluster
deployment process.
? Functionality: Ensuring an outbound rule for this destination allows the deployment to fetch necessary files and updates, enabling smooth cluster setup and
operation.
? Other Destinations:
? Conclusion: Outbound connectivity to "Https://downloads.cloud.nutanix.com/*" is essential for downloading deployment resources.

Question 3

An administrator wants to ensure that enough available bandwidth exits for workloads running in an NC2 on Azure cluster environment.
What is the highest number of Flew Gateway VMs that can be deployed within this environment?

Accepted Answer

? Flow Gateway VMs: Flow Gateway VMs are used to manage and route network traffic within an NC2 on Azure cluster, ensuring sufficient bandwidth for
workloads.
? Scalability: To ensure enough available bandwidth, multiple Flow Gateway VMs can be deployed.
? Maximum Limit: The highest number of Flow Gateway VMs that can be deployed within an NC2 on Azure environment is 6, providing the necessary capacity to
handle high traffic volumes and ensure optimal performance.
? Conclusion: Deploying up to 6 Flow Gateway VMs ensures adequate bandwidth for NC2 workloads.

 To efficiently terminate a Nutanix cloud cluster, the NC2 (Nutanix Cloud Clusters) Console should be used. The NC2 Console provides the necessary tools and
interface specifically designed for managing and terminating Nutanix clusters within cloud environments, ensuring a seamless and efficient process.References

Question 5

What action is performed in Azure when an instance is reported as being in a terminated state, but NC2 expects it to be in a running state?

Accepted Answer

? Instance Termination Detection:When an instance in Azure is reported as being in a terminated state but NC2 expects it to be running, the system will
automatically take corrective actions.
? Host Condemnation and Replacement:NC2 will condemn the host, marking it as unusable, and will then trigger the replacement process to ensure that the
cluster maintains its required capacity and performance levels. This automatic handling ensures minimal disruption to the workloads running on the cluster.

Question 6

An administrator is planning to expand an NC2 on Azure cluster.
Which statement is true regarding prerequisites for expanding the cluster?

Accepted Answer

? Cluster State Requirement: To expand a cluster, it must be operational and in a connected state to ensure seamless integration of additional nodes.
? Cluster Stopped State: If the cluster is stopped, it cannot perform expansion operations.
? Minimum Nodes Requirement: There is no minimum node count prerequisite for expanding the cluster as long as the cluster is connected.
? Cluster Connected State: Ensuring the cluster is connected verifies that it is operational and can communicate with additional nodes being added.
? Conclusion: The cluster must be in a Cluster Connected state to expand successfully.

Question 7

A company has just adopted Nutanix as their technology of choice and is preparing to deploy Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC@)
Which step must be taken first to gain access to the NC2 console?

Accepted Answer

? Initial Access: To gain access to the NC2 console, users need to create an account on the Nutanix platform.
? My Nutanix Account: Creating a My Nutanix account provides access to the Nutanix console, support, and other resources.
? Free Trial and Billing Portal: Starting a free trial or accessing the billing portal can be subsequent steps but require an initial account.
? Support Case: Opening a support case is not necessary for initial access but might be needed for specific issues later.
? Conclusion: Creating a My Nutanix account is the first step to accessing the NC2 console and other Nutanix services.

An administrator is trying to figure out why the NC2 cluster deployment in Azure failed. Which issue might be the cause?

Accepted Answer

? Error Message Analysis:The error message indicates that the node cannot boot successfully and will be replaced with a new node. This points towards an issue
related to the specific node type or configuration.
? Bare Metal Node Support:One common cause for such deployment failures is selecting a bare metal node type that is not supported in the chosen deployment
region. Azure has specific regions where certain node types are available, and attempting to use an unsupported node type in a region can result in provisioning
failures.

Question 9

An administrator has created a new overlay network. Which is intended for the company??s user VMs.
The cluster has these characteristics:
* Policy-based Routing is not configured
*Only using external NAT
*DNS Server: 8.8.8.8
After adding a few VMs to the network, the administrator notices that the VMs cannot reach resources outside the network, even by IP address.
What is a likely cause?

Accepted Answer

When the administrator notices that the VMs cannot reach resources outside the network, even by IP address, it is likely that a default route was not configured for
the external subnet. The default route is essential for directing traffic from the VMs to external networks. Without it, the VMs will not know how to route traffic to
external destinations, which leads to connectivity issues.
