An administrator receives reports about a Nutanix environment. The investigation finds the following;
* VMs are experiencing very high latency
* Each node is equipped with a single SSD, utilized at 95%
* Each node is equipped with three HDDs, utilized at 40%
Why are the guest VMs experiencing high latency?

An administrator receives reports that VDI desktop performance in an 8-node Nutanix VDI environment is poor. Opening applications takes between 1 and 2 minutes.
When investigating the issue, the following conditions are found:
* Cluster memory utilization: 80%

Which situation is causing this condition?

An administrator needs to configure snapshots for DR scenarios. The databases get refreshed on Friday nights regularly. The search service application re-indexes the new application on Saturday nights regularly. The remaining front-end and middle tier VMs are static but do get minor version updates weekly.

A consultant creates a new cluster using ESXi as the hypervisor. After creating the cluster, the consultant begins to run Life Cycle Manager (LCM) updates. During the LCM upgrade pre-checks, an error is returned.
Which configuration is causing this issue?

A consultant creates a four-node AHV cluster with two 1GbE (eth0, etc1) and two 10GbE (eth2, eth3) NICs per node. The 1GbE NICs will not be placed into service, but the customer wants the network to be preconfigured for their eventual use.
The consultant removes the 1GbE NIC from the default bond and creates a second bridge(br1), but is unable to add the 1GbE NIC using the below command:
manage_ovs -bridge_name br1 -interfaces 1g -bond_name br1-up update_uplinks Which parameter is missing from this command?

While reviewing the BOM during the kickoff call, a consultant notices that there are six NX nodes and 12 SFP+ modules, but no fiber cables are listed.
Which statement is correct regarding this scenario?

A customer needs a 20-node cluster built. The consultant only has a 16-port flat network switch, and the customer is using VLAN tagging for the hosts and CVMs.
How should the consultant create the cluster?
