Question 1 of 60
1. Question
An administrator has deployed two object store instances, one in New York and the other in London. Both object stores are managed by their own Prism Central instances running compatible versions. Availability zone pairing and IAM replication have been configured between Prism Central instances; the implementation requires a common namespace. Which additional configuration is required to support this setup?
Correct
Since the administrator has completed availability zone pairing and IAM replication between the Prism Central instances managing the object stores in New York and London, the next logical step is to create a Global Namespace. This allows users and applications to access the object data seamlessly across both regions under a single namespace, fulfilling the requirement for a common namespace.

Question 3 of 60
3. Question
An administrator has determined that adding File Server VMs to the cluster will provide more resources. What should the administrator validate so that the new File Server VMs can be added?
Correct
In a Nutanix Files deployment, each FSVM runs on its own physical host (node). If you want to scale out and add more FSVMs, the system requires additional nodes that are not currently hosting FSVMs. This ensures load distribution and avoids resource contention. Without extra nodes, you cannot add more FSVMs, making option d the correct and critical prerequisite.

Question 4 of 60
4. Question
Which two protocols can be enabled during a Nutanix Files installation? (Choose two.)
Correct
Nutanix Files supports two protocols during installation: NFS (Network File System) and SMB (Server Message Block). While Nutanix Files uses iSCSI (Internet Small Computer System Interface) for its backend storage presentation, it‘s not a protocol enabled during Files installation itself. Nutanix Files does not support S3 as a native front-end protocol, but it does support S3 as a target for tiering data based on file age.

Question 5 of 60
5. Question
An administrator working with user home directories in a distributed share realizes that a specific top-level directory cannot be deleted. What should the administrator do to resolve this issue?
Correct
When working with distributed shares in Nutanix Files, top-level directories (especially those created for home directory use) may be protected to ensure integrity and proper functioning. The Files MMC Snap-in provides administrative control for these situations and should be used to delete such directories. Other tools either lack sufficient access or are not appropriate for managing Nutanix Files-specific objects.

Question 8 of 60
8. Question
An administrator is deploying File Analytics on a Nutanix Cluster. The following subnets are available:
CVM subnet: 10.1.1.0/24
AHV subnet: 10.1.1.0/24
Nutanix Files client network: 10.1.3.0/24
Nutanix Files storage network: 10.1.4.0/24
The administrator had used the following IP address while deploying the Files Analytics IP.
10.1.4.100
During deployment, the installation fails with the error message shown in the exhibit.
What action must the administrator take to successfully deploy Files Analytics?
Correct
Allow port 445 in the firewall.
Incorrect: Port 445 is used for SMB traffic. While File Analytics uses SMB internally, this error is not related to a blocked port but rather an invalid network placement of the VM.
Allow port 139 in the firewall.
Incorrect: Port 139 is also used for older SMB communication (NetBIOS over TCP/IP). Again, this is not the root cause of a failed deployment; the deployment failure is due to network misplacement, not blocked ports.
Correct answer
Re-deploy File Analytics on the Files client network.
Correct: File Analytics must be deployed on the same subnet (client network) that clients use to access Nutanix Files shares. This allows it to analyze access patterns, user behavior, and monitor anomalies effectively. Also, this client network should have access to the ISCSI data services IP.
Re-deploy File Analytics on the Files storage network.
Incorrect: This is exactly what the administrator did ? they used 10.1.4.100, which is on the storage network, and it resulted in a deployment failure. File Analytics cannot function on the storage network, as it is not routable or intended for management or analytics traffic.
Details:
The failure occurs because File Analytics was deployed on the Files storage network, which is not suitable for its function. To monitor file access and user activity, File Analytics must be on the client-accessible network, where file shares are accessed. Re-deploying it on the Files client network resolves this issue.

12. Question
An administrator observes that a database virtual machine is experiencing degraded disk performance. Which storage technology should the administrator consider implementing to improve disk I/O performance?
Correct
For a database VM experiencing poor disk performance, the best choice is to use Volume Groups. Volume Groups provide dedicated block storage volumes that optimize low-latency, high IOPS, and throughput performance required by database applications. File-based storage (NFS/SMB) or object storage is generally not suitable for high-performance database disk needs.

Question 13 of 60
13. Question
An administrator needs to recover a deleted file from an NFS share that has Smart Snapshot Restore (SSR) enabled. What is the correct method to recover the file using SSR?
Correct
In Nutanix Files environments with SSR enabled, the recovery method depends on the protocol in use. For NFS shares, SSR provides read-only snapshots of the entire share/export, but does not integrate with Windows Previous Versions. Therefore, recovering deleted files requires manually copying the needed data from these read-only snapshots. This contrasts with SMB shares, where SSR supports recovery through Windows Previous Versions. Understanding this difference is critical for proper file recovery based on the protocol.

Question 17 of 60
17. Question
An administrator is tasked with creating a volume group (VG) to host highly sensitive data. These two requirements must be achieved: The VG must be accessible only by the OS where the data is going to be used by the application. The access needs to be secured with an additional security login Which two features or settings can help fulfill these requirements? (Choose two.)
Correct
To secure a volume group with highly sensitive data and ensure it is only accessible by a specific OS, the administrator should: Limit access by specifying only the allowed IQN(s) in the VG configuration. Enable CHAP authentication to enforce an additional login security layer. Encryption on the wire (option b) is recommended but does not control access, and RDMA (option a) is unrelated to these security controls.

Question 21 of 60
21. Question
An administrator has been tasked with locking a file indefinitely. The lock can be explicitly removed only by authorized users. Which configuration meets these requirements?
A four-node Nutanix cluster at the primary site has three FSVM instances deployed. The administrator would like to configure Smart DR on a five-node Nutanix cluster at the recovery site. How many FSVMs must be deployed on the recovery site to support Smart DR?
Correct
Nutanix Smart DR replicates Nutanix Files data and configuration between the primary and recovery sites. For efficient and seamless failover, the FSVM (File Server VM) configuration should ideally be mirrored between both sites.
In this scenario:
The primary site has 3 FSVMs.
Therefore, the recovery site should also have 3 FSVMs to:
Ensure proper load handling
Maintain high availability (HA)
Prevent performance degradation
Guarantee symmetry between clusters
Deploying fewer FSVMs (such as 1 or 2) would compromise redundancy and DR reliability, while deploying more (like 4) is unnecessary unless scaling for future growth.

Question 36 of 60
36. Question
An administrator has recently added several NGT-enabled VMs with in-guest iSCSI initiators to a Volume Group (VG) using the IP address in the VG allowlist. After a few days, the administrator had to restore the VG. Upon restoring the VG, the VMs lost connectivity to the Group. What should the administrator have done differently to prevent this from happening?

54. Question
An administrator opens the Previous Versions tab for a specific folder in an SMB share. What kind of information will be displayed?
Correct
When an administrator or user views the Previous Versions tab on an SMB share folder, they see a list of snapshots taken at different points in time. This list allows browsing and restoring files or folders from specific snapshot points, enabling file recovery or rollback to previous states. It does not show every file modification but the snapshots as a whole, which reflect the data state at those snapshot times.

Question 56 of 60
56. Question
An administrator is implementing two production networks for Nutanix Objects: Object Storage Network (internal) Objects Public Network (external) In which two ways is it recommended that the administrator configure these networks?
Correct
Nutanix Objects uses two types of networks: an internal Objects Storage Network and an external Objects Public Network. Best practice is to place the Object Storage Network on the same network as the CVM to simplify internal communication and reduce complexity. Additionally, it‘s recommended to configure the Object Storage and Public Networks on different virtual networks to maintain proper security boundaries and prevent unnecessary exposure of internal services. While combining the two networks is technically supported, it is discouraged in production due to potential risks. Therefore, the correct configuration choices are options 1 and 2.

57. Question
After a planned maintenance, an administrator notices that an active CVM in a Nutanix Volumes cluster is offline. How will this impact iSCSI clients that are connected to the CVM? Will the administrator need to intervene to ensure connectivity?
Correct
Nutanix Volumes is designed for resilience. When iSCSI clients connect through the iSCSI Data Services IP, the system provides high availability and seamless failover. If a CVM goes offline, active sessions are interrupted, but clients automatically reconnect and are redirected to healthy CVMs. This ensures zero manual intervention from the administrator.

58. Question
During deployment of the Windows 2019 Failover Cluster, an administrator is unable to deploy a Nutanix Files witness share. The Nutanix Files cluster environment is as follows: SMB shares need to be highly available DFS is enabled for the cluster Three FSVMs are deployed in the cluster The cluster is using a general share type WORM is disabled What should the administrator do to resolve the issue?
Correct
To deploy a Windows Server 2019 Failover Cluster successfully using a Nutanix Files SMB share as a file share witness, the DFS feature must be disabled on the target share. DFS introduces a namespace abstraction that prevents the cluster from locking and managing the share properly for quorum functionality. The administrator should configure a non-DFS-enabled SMB share directly accessible by the WSFC nodes.

59. Question
An administrator needs to configure Nutanix Objects in an AHV-based cluster. Which IP range must be available for this task?
Correct
When deploying Nutanix Objects in an AHV environment, Prism Central requires two unused internal /16 IP ranges. By default, Nutanix reserves the following:
10.100.0.0/16
10.200.0.0/16
These ranges are essential for the internal networking of the Object Storage components, including:
S3 front-end IPs
DNS services
Metadata services
Load balancers
The /16 subnet size ensures theres sufficient address space for scaling and operations across object store components.
Other options like /24 ranges or non-default networks are too small or unsupported for Nutanix Objects deployment. Therefore, 10.100.0.0/16 and 10.200.0.0/16 are the correct and required ranges.

60. Question
At what level of granularity can Smart DR replicate?
Correct
Smart DR is a disaster recovery feature for Nutanix Files, allowing you to replicate file shares between clusters for business continuity. It works at the share level, meaning entire file shares (and their contents and metadata) are replicated from a source to a destination cluster. This granularity ensures that all necessary data structures for file access are intact on the recovery side without replicating individual files or unrelated volumes.
