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

Labels allow administrators to group related objects, such as VMs, and then apply policies to those labels, rather than having to manually apply the policy to each individual VM. This is the most efficient way for an administrator to apply a security policy to dozens of VMs. Reference: https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/details?targetId=Platform-Administrator-Guide-v5_7:pag-sec-category-label-c.html

 To display potentially reclaimable resources in a Nutanix cluster running out of memory, an administrator can use the List of Inactive VMs and List of Overprovisioned VMs predefined views for Reporting 

The oplog is a critical component of the Nutanix distributed storage fabric and can be impacted by high CPU Ready time. When the CPU Ready time is high, there can be delays in writing data to the oplog, resulting in slower overall cluster performance. Additionally, high CPU Ready time can also lead to increased write amplification, further reducing I/O performance.

From Prism Central's main dashboard page, an administrator can access any cluster by clicking the cluster quick access link. This will open the cluster summary page, which contains detailed information about the cluster, including the nodes, virtual machines, and applications running on the cluster.

Pulse is a built-in tool that periodically collects and sends diagnostic data to Nutanix support for proactive monitoring and troubleshooting. This data includes cluster configuration, performance metrics, and error logs, among other things. Nutanix support can use this data to identify and resolve issues before they become critical, and to provide recommendations for optimizing cluster performance.

NCC (Nutanix Cluster Check) is another tool provided by Nutanix, but it is used for performing manual health checks and diagnostics on the cluster, rather than providing proactive support.

Cluster Heart and Cluster Health are not tools provided by Nutanix, and are not relevant to this question.

When an SSD fails within a node, the CVM on that node will reboot to maintain the health of the cluster. The CVM is responsible for managing the storage and virtualization components of the cluster, and a reboot is necessary to ensure that the cluster continues to function properly. The VMs running on that host will not be affected and continue to run, but the CVM will be unavailable for a short period of time until the reboot is completed. The Cluster continues to operate in a healthy state and doesn't go in read-only mode or cause any host to go down.

The type of relationship that a VM Affinity policy defines is VM to Host. A VM Affinity policy is used to specify which host a virtual machine should be placed on. This can be used to ensure that certain VMs are always running on the same host for performance or availability reasons. Additionally, VM Affinity policies can also be used to ensure that VMs are spread across multiple hosts for better load balancing.

A virtual network with IPAM (IP Address Management) supports automatically assigning IP addresses to VMs. This eliminates the need for manual configuration of IP addresses for each VM, and makes it easy to manage and track IP address usage.
