Free Nutanix NCS-Core Practice Test & Real Exam Questions

A customer buys ultimate licensing and wants to use the built-in Nutanix software encryption on their new AHV cluster. The customer needs to create three storage containers and asks the consultant to complete the process as fast as possible.
In which order should the cluster be deployed?

A consultant is setting up Prism Central to manage multiple Nutanix clusters. The customer requires til redundancy and tre aby to manage up to 12,500 VMs.
Which deployment option should the consultant use to meet the requirements?

A consultant is working on an expansion project for a customer that has an existing 7-node RF2 cluster. The customer has purchased four more nodes to add to the cluster. All of the hardware is identical between the existing hardware and newly purchased hardware.
Currently, the 7-node cluster has the following utilization:
*CPU: 48%
*Memory: 66%
*Storage: 91%
During the kick-off call, the customer mentioned they'd like to reserve storage capacity on the cluster if a node were to fail in the future.
What's the safest and best way to implement this on the cluster?

A customer has a Nutanix cluster with 10Gb connectivity via switch fabric extenders. The administrator receives NCC health check errors of latency greater than 200ms.
Which action should the administrator take to resolve the NCC errors?

A consultant has been tasked with increasing security on a Nutanix cluster by disabling password authentication when accessing the CVM and AHV hosts and instead moving to key-based SSH.
What is the easiest way for the consultant to meet these requirements?

A customer has an ESXi Cluster with two 10GbE NICs on each node with the following requirements:
* Solution must follow Nutanix Best Practices
* Network configuration should be redundant
* A vSphere Standard Switch must be utilized
Which load balancing method should be used?

Refer to Exhibit:

A customer is preparing to expand a cluster with a consultant. The production cluster is comprised of one NX-
3460-G7 and two NX-8235 G8 blocks. The running AOS version is 5.20.4.6 and Hypervisor version is ESXi
6.7 U3b. vCenter is also running a 6.7 version.
One NX-3235-G9 block will be added to that cluster (ESXI-NUTA-09 and ESXI-NUTA-10).
The consultant has verified Nutanix documentation and customer's As-Built guide:
*NX-3060-G7 and NX-8035-G8 are hybrid HCI nodes
*ESXi 6.7 U3b is unsupported for the new G9 hardware model
*AOS 5.20.X and ESXi 6 X are end of support
*NX-3060-G7 and NX-8035-G8 hypervisors can be upgraded to the latest ESXi supported version What actions should be taken before beginning the cluster expansion?

What must be set to enable node discovery when using Foundation VM?

A customer recently bought services from their consultant to re-configure an existing Cluster for a new use case. The data on the cluster is not important. The customer does not know the CVM usernames and passwords.
Which Foundation tool should the consultant use to resolve this issue?

Refer to the exhibit.

A consultant is deploying a cluster using the customer-provided IP addressing information.
Which option in Foundation must be configured to ensure connectivity during the deployment?

Which subnet should a consultant be aware is reserved for internal connectivity within a Nutanix cluster?

A customer wants to ensure that the Data Protection configuration using Protection Domains is fully functional.
The consultant has configured a protection domain for newly-created VMs with static IP addresses on multiple VLANs. The network administrator confirmed that the correct subnets exist at both physical sites.
After performing a failover operation, the virtual machines are turned back on but have no network access.
Which statement describes this issue?

A customer with a four-node RF2 cluster is adding application VMs to their system. After adding these VMs, the Prism dashboard shows 81% storage utilization.
What is the consequence of running the cluster at 81% storage utilization?

Imaging fails for one or more nodes in the cluster

A log file displays this output:
