NCA-6.5 Exam Dumps - Nutanix Certified Associate (NCA) Questions and Answers

To send weekly performance reviews to several line of business managers about VMs they are managing, the administrator should use Prism Central Reports with a schedule. Prism Central Reports is a tool that allows the administrator to create custom reports, which can include information such as CPU usage, memory usage, and disk I/O for specific VMs. The administrator can schedule the reports to be generated and sent out on a regular basis, such as weekly. This will allow the line of business managers to review the performance of the VMs they are responsible for on a regular basis, and take appropriate actions if necessary.

Pulse should only be disabled under the guidance of Nutanix Support and not for any other reason. Pulse is a feature of the Nutanix cluster that enables the cluster to report back health and performance data to Nutanix for troubleshooting and performance optimization purposes. Disabling Pulse without the guidance of Nutanix Support is not recommended, as it could lead to potential issues with the cluster.

In Prism Central, Image Placement Policies can be used to map images to target clusters using categories. An Image Placement Policy is a set of rules that determine where an image should be placed on the Nutanix cluster. These rules are based on categories, such as the image's OS type, the target cluster's hardware type, and other factors. By creating image placement policies, you can ensure that images are placed on the appropriate clusters, and that they are compatible with the hardware and software requirements of those clusters.

For example, you could create a placement policy that specifies that all Windows images should be placed on a specific cluster, and that all Linux images should be placed on another cluster. You can also set image replication policies on image placement policies, to ensure that images are replicated to multiple clusters for disaster recovery purposes.

The Prism Central image repository is a centralized location for storing virtual machine images that can be used to deploy VMs to any cluster managed by Prism Central. When an image is imported into Prism Central, a copy of the image is made and stored in the repository, so that it can be easily accessed and deployed to any cluster as needed.

The original image file typically remains in the source cluster after it is imported into Prism Central, unless it is explicitly deleted. Similarly, the image copy in the Prism Central repository is not automatically copied to all clusters managed by Prism Central, but can be used to deploy new VMs on any cluster as needed.

Nutanix Volumes uses a Filesystem Whitelist to control which external hosts can access the iSCSI block devices allocated to them. If the external host IP address is not in the Filesystem Whitelist, it will not be able to discover or connect to the Nutanix-hosted iSCSI block device. Jumbo frames, external client access, and network segmentation are not required for Nutanix Volumes to work.
