https://www.nutanix.com/architecture
Nutanix volume groups are collections of vDisks that can be exposed to virtual machines or physical hosts using iSCSI protocol. Nutanix volume groups have a shared attribute that allows multiple VMs to access them concurrently.
In the step for attach the volume group to the RAC VMs, he must create it with an attribute of shared = true. This is because if the volume group is not created with shared = true, then only one VM can access it at a time, which would prevent Oracle RAC from working properly.
NEW QUESTION # 52
A RHEL administrator has requested a new NFS v4 export share to be deployed.
The task has been completed with the following settings:
* Authentication - System
* Default Access - Read-Write
Which mount-t nfs -o sec option should the RHEL administrator issue in order to properly mount the new share?
- A. Krb5i
- B. None
- C. Sys
- D. Krb5p
Answer: C
Explanation:
Nutanix Files supports NFSv4, which includes advanced features such as strongly mandated security1. NFSv4 supports different security flavors such as sys, krb5, krb5i, and krb5p1. The sys flavor uses UNIX-style authentication based on UID/GID mapping1. The other flavors use Kerberos authentication with different levels of protection1.
Since the NFS v4 export share was configured with System authentication, which is equivalent to sys flavor1, the RHEL administrator should issue the mount command with the option -o sec=sys21.
NEW QUESTION # 53
During a recent audit, the auditors discovered several shares that were unencrypted. To remediate the audit item, the administrator enabled Encrypt SMB3 Messages on the accounting, finance, and facilities shares. After encryption was enabled, several users have reported that they are no longer able to access the shares.
What is causing this issue?
- A. Advanced Encryption Standard 128 & 256 are disabled in Linux or Mac OS.
- B. Advanced Encryption Standard 128 & 256 are disabled in Windows 7.
- C. The users are accessing the shares from Linux desktops.
- D. The users are accessing the shares from Windows 8 desktops.
Answer: C
Explanation:
According to Encryption-Files | Nutanix Community1, SMB3 message encryption is a feature that encrypts messages on the file server side and decrypts them on the client side. However, clients that do not support encryption (Linux, Mac, windows 7) cannot access a share with encryption enabled.
According to Nutanix Support & Insights2, Nutanix Files supports SMB3 encryption for SMB3 client-server traffic. This means that only clients that support SMB3 protocol can access encrypted shares.
Therefore, if the users are accessing the shares from Linux desktops, they will not be able to access them because Linux does not support SMB3 encryption.

NEW QUESTION # 59
An administrator configured WORM on an existing Objects bucket at 4 p.m. on Monday. During the configuration, the administrator did not select Enable Version. At 8 a.m. the next morning, a ticket was submitted to update the bucket to include versioning.
What are the correct steps to make the requested change?
- A. update the WORM settings to Enable Version as that setting can be turned on at any point after WORM is enabled.
- B. Create a new' bucket with Enable Version selected and migrate all data since versioning cannot be changed after 12 hours once WORM is enabled.
- C. Disable WORM and reconfigure with Enable Version and Enable WORM checked as it has been less than 24 hours since WORM was enabled.
- D. Create a bucket with Enable Version selected and migrate all data since versioning cannot be changed immediately after WORM is enabled.
Answer: C
Explanation:
According to the Nutanix Unified Storage (NCP-US) v6 documentation, once WORM (Write-Once-Read-Many) has been enabled on an Objects bucket, versioning cannot be immediately enabled. Instead, the WORM configuration must be disabled and then re-enabled, this time with Enable Version and Enable WORM checked. Since the administrator did not select Enable Version during the initial configuration, this step is necessary in order to enable versioning.
https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/solutions/details?targetId=NVD-2151-Unified-Storage:data-immutability-and-versioning.html You can disable WORM within 24 hours of enabling it on a bucket1. This will allow you to change the versioning settings on the bucket.
NEW QUESTION # 60
Why should an administrator avoid allocating over half the RAM on a host to a FSVM?
- A. The FSVM would be in a single NUMA node boundary.
- B. The FSVM has a set memory configuration.
- C. The FSVM would experience host swapping of memory.
- D. The FSVM would cross NUMA node boundaries.
Answer: D
Explanation:
The administrator should avoid allocating over half the RAM on a host to a FSVM because the FSVM would cross NUMA node boundaries (option A).
NUMA (Non-Uniform Memory Access) is a memory architecture that divides the system memory into multiple regions that are assigned to different processors or cores.
If a FSVM crosses NUMA node boundaries, it will have to access memory from different regions, which will result in higher latency and lower performance for file operations.
To avoid this issue, the administrator should ensure that the FSVM memory allocation is within a single NUMA node boundary.

NEW QUESTION # 64
An existing Objects bucket was created for backups with these parameters:
A) WORM policy of three years
B) Versioning policy of two years
C) Lifecycle policy of two years
The customer reports that the cluster is nearly full due to backups created during a recent crypto locker attack. The customer would like to automatically delete backups older than one year to free up space in the cluster.
How should the administrator change settings within Objects?
- A. Modify the existing bucket WORM policy from three years to one year.
- B. Modify the existing bucket lifecycle policy from two years to one year.
- C. Create a new' bucket with the WORM policy of two years.
- D. Create a new' bucket with the lifecycle policy of one year.
Answer: B
Explanation:
According to Nutanix documentation on unified storage (NCP-US) v6, to automatically delete backups older than one year, an administrator should modify the existing bucket lifecycle policy to set the expiration period to one year. Lifecycle policies enable administrators to automate the transition of objects to different storage classes and to expire them altogether. In this scenario, modifying the existing bucket lifecycle policy to shorten the expiration period to one year will ensure that backups older than one year are automatically deleted to free up space in the cluster.
