What can be used to easily group a set of VMs?

- B . Labels
- C . Projects
- D . Tags
A Disaster Recovery administrator has setup a Protection Policy for 50 workloads – all configured in a similar fashion in terms of OS, storage, network, and performance. The RPO is 60 minutes with a specified retention of 10 copies local, 5 copies remote, and crash consistency.
After configuring the Protection Policy and activating it, the administrator has noticed that recovery points are not showing up in DR. Yet, everything within the Protection Policy looks correct and recovery points are showing up on production side.
What is the most likely issue?
- A . Nutanix NGT is not installed on the source VMs.
- B . The storage container RF factor of the protected VMs is not the same as the RF factor in the DR cluster container.
- C . Windows updates need to be run on all the affected VMs.
- D . The storage container name of the protected VMs is not the same as the DR cluster storage container
Per organizational requirements, an administrator has uploaded a signed SSL certificate to Prism for Common Access Card (CAC) authentication.
Once the certificate has been uploaded successfully, the certificate appears to be valid but CAC authentication is not functional.
What is a potential cause of this problem?
- A . There is no Certificate Revocation List (CRL) configured.
- B . RSA key size is incorrect.
- C . Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) is not enabled.
- D . Signature Algorithm is incorrect.
An administrator is experiencing performance issues within a VM and believes that more vCPU should be added to the specific VM. The cluster as a whole appears to be performing well.
Which two metrics should be analyzed to determine if adding more vCPUs is warranted? (Choose two.)
- A . VM CPU Usage
- B . VM CPU Ready Time
- C . Host Memory Swap Out Rate
- D . Host CPU usage
An administrator is executing a storage performance test between two Microsoft Windows VMs. The first VM was deployed by using a template, while the second one was created from scratch.
Results show that VMs have very different metrics when using the same performance test. The first VM reaches 8000 IOPS, while the second struggles reaching 500/800 IOPS. Currently the AHV cluster is not under pressure.
How can the administrator determine why these results were produced?
- A . Verify both VMs have installed Nutanix Guest Tools.
- B . Enable AHV Turbo on the second VM.
- C . Compare vDisk bus type between VMs.
- D . Check number of VCPUs assigned to VMs
An administrator would like to create a Playbook where VM protection has failed for VMs in category:
CriticalApps: Alerts.
The administrator needs to create an alert for only the VMs in the CriticalApps: Alerts category. The alert must send a notification to the on- call personnel in the event that a VM Protection Failed Alert is triggered.
How should the administrator complete this task?
- A . Create a Playbook with a Manual trigger.
- B . Create a Playbook with an Alert Matching Criteria trigger.
- C . Create a Playbook with an Event-based trigger.
- D . Create a Playbook with an Alert-based trigger
Due to application requirements, an administrator needs to support a multicast configuration in an AHV cluster.
Which AHV feature can be used to optimize network traffic so that multicast traffic is only forwarded to the VMs that need to receive it?
- A . LACP
- B . UDP
- C . IGMP Snooping
- D . Network Segmentation
C
Explanation:
Multicast traffic can generate unnecessary overhead if it is not properly managed. IGMP Snooping (Option C) ensures that multicast packets are only sent to VMs that have requested them, rather than broadcasting to all VMs.
Option C (IGMP Snooping) is correct:
It reduces unnecessary multicast traffic by ensuring that only subscribed VMs receive the packets.
It is supported natively in AHV networking.
Option A (LACP) is incorrect:
Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) improves bandwidth and redundancy but does not control multicast traffic.
Option B (UDP) is incorrect:
UDP (User Datagram Protocol) is a transport protocol, not a network optimization feature.
Option D (Network Segmentation) is incorrect:
Segmentation (VLANs, VPCs) isolates networks but does not optimize multicast traffic specifically.

Which two entities can be categorized? (Choose two.)
- A . Storage Containers
- B . Alerts
- C . Virtual Machines
- D . ISO Images
CD
Explanation:
In Nutanix Prism Central, categories allow administrators to group and organize entities for management, automation, and policy enforcement.
Alerts (Option B) can be categorized to group similar system events and create filtering rules. Virtual Machines (Option C) can be categorized to apply security policies, automation tasks, and resource allocation rules.
Option A (Storage Containers) cannot be categorized in Prism Central. Storage policies apply at the container level but are not managed via categories.
Option D (ISO Images) cannot be categorized because ISOs are static objects, not active entities.

Which feature deploys a temporary VM that allows an administrator to log in and apply OS patches to a VM template?
- A . Create VM from Template
- B . Complete Guest OS Update
- C . Update Configuration
- D . Update Guest OS
D
Explanation:
The Update Guest OS feature (Option D) in Nutanix allows administrators to apply patches and updates to a VM template by creating a temporary VM instance for modification.
How It Works:
A temporary VM is deployed from the template.
Administrators apply updates to the OS.
Once complete, the changes are saved back to the template.
Option A (Create VM from Template) is incorrect:
This feature creates a new VM from an existing template but does not update the template itself.
Option B (Complete Guest OS Update) is incorrect:
There is no specific Nutanix feature named "Complete Guest OS Update."
Option C (Update Configuration) is incorrect:
Updates VM hardware and policies but not the OS.

An administrator is receiving repeated approval requests to delete a protected snapshot that has
already been approved.
What is the likely cause?
- A . There is an error with the SMTP server.
- B . The Policy Engine wasn’t implemented.
- C . The administrator is an approver on the approval policy.
- D . There are multiple approvers on the approval policy.
