Question 1

An administrator needs to perform AOS and AHV upgrades on a Nutanix cluster and wants to ensure that VM data is replicated as quickly as possible when hosts and CVMs are rebooted.
Configure Cluster 1 so that after planned host and CVM reboots, the rebuild scan starts immediately.
Note:
You will need to use SSH for this task. Ignore the fact that this is a 1-node cluster.

Question 2

A company who offers Infrastructure as a Service needs to onboard a new customer. The new customer requires a dedicated cloud plan which tolerates two host failures.
The customer is planning to move current workloads in three waves, with three months between waves starting today:
* Wave One: 100 VMs
* Wave Two: 50 VMs
* Wave Three: 20 VMs
Workload profile is:
* vCPU: 4
* vRAM: 16 GB
* Storage: 200 GB
The service provider company needs to estimate required resources upfront, to accommodate customer requirements, considering also that:
* limit the number of total nodes
* selected system vendor HPE
* selected model DX365-10-G11-NVMe
* full-flash node (including NVMe + SSD)
* 12 months runway
Create and save the scenario as IaaS and export to the desktop, name the file IaaS-requirement.pdf Note: You must export the PDF to the desktop as IaaS-requirement.pdf to receive any credit.

Correct Answer:

Question 3

Use Prism Element for this question.
The Application team has a 3 tier application (App Server, Web Server, and Database Server) that is mission critical and requires as close to 0 RPO and RTO as possible with their current license level.
The organization has 2 clusters, with one cluster (Cluster 1) being production and the other cluster (Cluster 2) being remote/DR. Cluster 2 should be able to fail back to Cluster 1.
The connectivity between the two sites is >5ms and replication traffic should not use more than 10Mbps of bandwidth. The Application team requests a plan that includes the ability to go back 2 days locally, and 2 days remotely.
The team also requests that all 3 VMs be treated as a single group and backed up collectively in a snapshot.
The three VMs are:
* Web-Prod
* App-Prod
* DB-Prod
Use Task3 as part of the name for any objects created for this task.
Note: VMs do NOT need to be powered on. You will need to use the 172.30.0.x IP addresses when configuring DR.

Correct Answer:

See the Explanation below for detailed answer.
Explanation:
Here is the step-by-step solution to configure Disaster Recovery from the Cluster 1 Prism Element interface.
1. Add Cluster 2 as a Remote Site
First, you must register Cluster 2 as a DR target for Cluster 1.
* From the Cluster 1 Prism Element dashboard, navigate to Data Protection from the main dropdown menu.
* Click the Remote Site tab.
* Click the + Remote Site button and select Physical Cluster.
* In the "Name" field, enter Cluster2_DR_Task3.
* In the "Address" field, enter the 172.30.0.x Virtual IP address of Cluster 2.
* Click Save. The clusters will exchange credentials and connect.
2. Throttle Replication Bandwidth
Next, apply the 10 Mbps bandwidth limit for traffic going to Cluster 2.
* On the same Remote Site tab, select the newly created Cluster2_DR_Task3.
* Click the Update button.
* In the dialog, set the Bandwidth Limit to 10 Mbps.
* Click Save.
3. Create the Protection Domain
A Protection Domain (PD) is the top-level object that will manage the VMs and replication schedules.
* In the Data Protection dashboard, click the Table tab.
* Click the + Protection Domain button and select Async DR.
* For the Name, enter App_PD_Task3.
* Click Create.
4. Protect VMs in a Consistency Group
Now you will add the three application VMs to the new Protection Domain as a single Consistency Group (CG).
* You will be taken to the dashboard for the new App_PD_Task3. In the Entities panel, click the Protect Entities button.
* In the "Protect Entities" dialog, search for and select the three VMs:
* Web-Prod
* App-Prod
* DB-Prod
* Click Next.
* Select Create new consistency group and name it App_CG_Task3.
* Click Protect.
5. Create the Replication Schedule
Finally, configure the schedule to meet the RPO and retention requirements.
* In the App_PD_Task3 dashboard, click the Schedules tab.
* Click the + New Schedule button.
* Remote Site: Select Cluster2_DR_Task3.
* RPO (Repeat every): Select NearSync. Set the RPO to 1 minute.
* Note: This is the lowest possible RPO for an Async (>5ms latency) connection, fulfilling the "as close to 0" requirement.
* Local Retention: Set to 2 Days.
* Remote Retention: Set to 2 Days.
* Ensure the "Store snapshots for 2-way replication" checkbox is enabled to allow failback from Cluster 2.
* Click Create Schedule.

Question 4

The DB team is requesting an SQL database instance and has requested it be configured for best performance.
This VM has been migrated from a 3 tier solution into Nutanix.
The database VM hosts 4 databases, each set to a 20 GB limit. Logs are expected to not grow beyond 20 GB and should be limited to within 25% to avoid runaway processes. Do not configure more storage than is needed.
The VM that has been migrated is identified as sql3532. Once the VM has been properly reconfigured, the DBA team will reconfigure the OS and database.
The VM should be configured as per KB-3532.
While this VM is being tested, make sure it is the first VM to power up in the event the node it is on goes down.
To maximize performance, ensure as much of the VM as possible will be kept on SSD drives.
Note: The VM does not need to be powered on. The VM should remain on the default container and should not be configured with a volume group. No network is required at this time.

Correct Answer:

See the Explanation below for detailed answer.
Explanation:
Here is the step-by-step solution to reconfigure the sql3532 virtual machine.
This task is performed from the Prism Element interface for the cluster the VM is on (e.g., Cluster 1).
1. Locate and Update the VM
* From the Prism Element main dashboard, navigate to the VM view.
* Find the VM named sql3532 in the VM table.
* Select the checkbox next to sql3532 and click the Update button.
2. Configure HA Priority and Flash Mode
In the "Update VM" dialog, configure the HA and SSD performance settings:
* HA Priority:
* Find the VM High Availability section.
* Select the High Priority radio button. This ensures it is one of the first VMs to power on during an HA event.
* Flash Mode (SSD Performance):
* Scroll down to the Flash Mode section.
* Check the box to Enable Flash Mode. This pins the VM's vDisks to the SSD tier, satisfying the requirement to keep as much of the VM as possible on SSDs, especially since it's on the default (hybrid) container.
3. Reconfigure Disks (per KB-3532)
While still in the "Update VM" dialog, scroll to the Disks section to add the new data and log disks. The key to "best performance" (KB-3532) is to place Data and Logs on separate vSCSI controllers.
* (The VM already has an OS disk, which we will assume is on scsi.0.)
* Add Data Disk:
* Click the + Add New Disk button.
* Storage Container: default (as required).
* Size: 80 GB (for the 4 x 20 GB databases).
* Bus Type: SCSI.
* Device Index: 1. (This creates a new vSCSI controller, scsi.1, for the data disk).
* Click Add.
* Add Log Disk:
* Click the + Add New Disk button.
* Storage Container: default (as required).
* Size: 20 GB.
* Bus Type: SCSI.
* Device Index: 2. (This creates a third vSCSI controller, scsi.2, for the log disk).
* Click Add.
4. Save Configuration
* After adding the disks and setting HA/Flash Mode, click the main Save button at the bottom of the
"Update VM" dialog.
The VM is now configured with high availability, its storage is pinned to SSD, and its disk layout follows performance best practices by separating the OS, Data, and Log I/O paths onto three different controllers.

Question 5

An administrator is experiencing an unidentified issue which is causing inode exhaustion on CVMs in Cluster
1. The time between receiving alerts and exhaustion is too short; the administrator needs to lower the alert thresholds to allow more time to clean up inodes until the issue has been identified and resolution implemented.
From Prism Element, modify the appropriate alert policy setting critical threshold for Cluster 1 to 60% and warning threshold to 45%. Ensure the check runs every minute and is not resolved without administrator action.
