Accessing the Health dashboard is the first step.

The Main Dashboard in Prism Central provides performance metrics across multiple clusters. (Health) focuses on cluster health. (Alerts) shows notifications. (Analysis) is specific to single-cluster metrics.

NCC runs health checks.

Intelligent Cloning supports VM cloning.

The Support Portal is for technical support and logs.

Flow supports network segmentation.

Snapshots are created in VM settings.

The Analysis tab provides historical metrics for VM resource usage, while the VM Summary tab shows current usage, allowing comparison over time.

The Analysis dashboard monitors network performance.

Security policies are configured in VM settings.

The Health dashboard provides cluster status.

Nutanix Unified Storage provides shared storage. (VM management) is via Prism Element. (Cluster upgrades) uses LCM. (Network optimization) uses Flow.

Logs are collected from the Settings dashboard.

Prism Central can manage LCM for multiple clusters and provides a centralized inventory view, whereas Prism Element is limited to a single cluster.

Deduplication reduces data redundancy.

RF2 ensures that every data block has two copies, providing fault tolerance.

Nutanix Volumes provide iSCSI-based block storage needed for SQL clusters.

P3 ensures an 8-hour response under Production Support.

One is connected at 1GbE and the other is 10GbE.

Incorrect – Uplinks are typically of the same speed for redundancy.

They are configured in Active-Active mode.

Incorrect – Active-Active is not the default mode in Nutanix clusters.

Correct answer

They are configured in Active-Backup mode.

Correct – Nutanix networking defaults to Active-Backup for fault tolerance.

All are connected, but only two are carrying traffic.

Incorrect – This is not a default behavior of Nutanix networking.

Details:

Nutanix uses an Active-Backup uplink model where one interface is active while the other remains in standby.

Pulse uses HTTPS to transmit cluster information to Nutanix.

Nutanix recommends enabling deduplication for the following scenarios: Full hypervisor clones from a base image – Cross-container clones – Full-clone VDI workloads – Physical-to-virtual (P2V) migration – Persistent desktops

SSR depends on NGT being installed in the VM.

Prism Central is deployed as a virtual machine.

RF3 ensures data protection by storing three copies of data. A minimum of five nodes is required to distribute the copies while maintaining fault tolerance.

Protection Policies allow administrators to specify groups of VMs and assign them to a destination for Disaster Recovery using Leap.

Running an LCM inventory helps identify and upgrade the LCM framework to the latest version.

The NCA 6.10 exam is available in English and Japanese

Flow optimizes network traffic.

Prism Central manages multiple clusters.

Prism Central allows administrators to generate and schedule reports for automated delivery.

The passing score is 3000 out of 6000.

NCC (Nutanix Cluster Check) evaluates cluster resiliency status and hardware/software compatibility to ensure the cluster is healthy.

Protection Policies ensure VM high availability. (VM labels) and (Annotations) are for identification. (RBAC) is for access control.

Bringing the disk online is the next step after creating a Volume Group.

Best practices for LCM upgrades include upgrading Prism Central before Prism Element to ensure compatibility and following the recommended upgrade order (e.g., AOS, firmware, hypervisor).

VM migration status is checked in VM settings.

New VMs are created in VM settings in Prism Element. (Prism Central) is for multi-cluster. (NCC) is for health checks. (SSH) is for manual tasks.

Snapshots allow VM recovery from point-in-time captures. (Protection Policies) is for backups. (Recycle Bin) is for file recovery. (Volume Groups) is for storage.
