Question 3 of 60
3. Question
An administrator receives an alert indicating that a node has failed within a Nutanix AHV-based 10-node cluster. Before the failure, CPU and memory utilization was around 50%. What automatic actions will the cluster take in response to the node failure?
Correct
When a node fails in a Nutanix AHV cluster: Nutanix HA detects the failure and identifies affected VMs. HA-enabled VMs are automatically restarted on healthy nodes. The Distributed Storage Fabric (DSF) ensures data availability, even with a node failure. No cluster-wide impact occurs since NutanixÂ’s architecture is designed for resilience.

Question 5 of 60
5. Question
When multiple Alert policies are applied to an entity, which will take precedence?
Correct
When multiple alert policies apply to an entity in Nutanix, the system uses a precedence order to determine which policy is enforced. The policy with the highest precedence is evaluated, and all others are ignored, even if the highest precedence policy is disabled.1 The precedence order, from highest to lowest, is as follows: Policy applied to a specific entity Policy applied to an entity type in a category Policy applied to an entity type in a cluster Policy applied to all entities of an entity type For example, if you have created a policy (global-host-policy-1) that triggers a critical alert if the memory usage of any host exceeds 95%. However, you are now creating a policy (host1-policy) that triggers a critical alert if the memory usage (same metric) of host1 (a specific host) exceeds 90%, host1-policy is now an overlapping policy for global-host-policy-1. So, the Policy more specific for entity which host1-policy will been applied (highest precedence order).

Question 6 of 60
6. Question
An administrator is performing AHV upgrades on an 8-node Nutanix cluster configured with Redundancy Factor 3. How many nodes would be placed into maintenance mode simultaneously?
Correct
With a Redundancy Factor of 3 (RF-3), the cluster can tolerate two simultaneous failures. During an AHV upgrade, one node at a time is placed into maintenance mode. Since the cluster has 8 nodes and RF-3, it can handle two nodes being down, but the upgrade process prioritizes minimizing disruption and maintaining the highest possible availability during the upgrade. Therefore, only one node would be placed into maintenance mode at a time.

Question 7 of 60
7. Question
An administrator needs to upgrade AOS in a vSphere-based Nutanix five-node cluster with no automatic live migration. VMs have neither affinity nor anti-affinity rules configured. What will happen to VMs during the AOS upgrade?
Correct
In a Nutanix vSphere cluster with no automatic live migration (e.g., no vMotion/DRS), VMs will remain running on their original host during an AOS upgrade. The Controller VM (CVM) on that host will be restarted and upgraded individually. During this brief period, the cluster services (e.g., metadata, I/O redirection) normally handled by the CVM on that host will be managed by other CVMs in the cluster. This design ensures high availability and non-disruptive upgrades.

Question 51 of 60
51. Question
A team member has built a CentOS VM image for use as a template. An administrator deploys a new VM using the CentOS image as the OS drive. No other drives are presented to the VM. Following the deployment, the administrator attempts to boot the VM, but is unsuccessful. What could be causing this issue?
Correct
The VM’s Boot Priority must reference disk first before CD-ROM
