How many SSL certificates are used by Prism Element on a Nutanix cluster?
Correct Answer:A
According to the Nutanix Prism Element Guide, Prism Element uses a single SSL certificate on a Nutanix cluster. The certificate is used to secure the communication between the web browser and the Prism web console. The certificate is also used to authenticate the cluster to external services, such as Active Directory, SMTP, and SNMP. The certificate can be either self-signed or signed by a trusted certificate authority (CA). The certificate can be replaced or renewed through the Prism web console or the ncli command-line interface.
An administrator would like to leverage the Reliable Event Logging Protocol (RELP) with their Remote Syslog Server. After completing the configuration, it is observed that RELP logging is not working as expected.
What is the likely cause of this issue?
Correct Answer:D
According to the Red Hat Customer Portal, to use RELP with Rsyslog, you need to install the rsyslog-relp package on both the server and the client. If the remote server does not have rsyslog-relp installed, RELP logging will not work as expected.
Administrator is creating a Windows 10 VM that will be used for a virtual desktop template. After creating the VM and booting to the ISO, the administrator is unable to install Windows and receives the following error.
What steps does the administrator need to take to install the OS?
Correct Answer:D
Answer D. Load the Virtual SCSI pass-through controller.
The error message shown in the image indicates that Windows 10 setup cannot find any drives to install the OS. This is because the Nutanix AHV hypervisor uses a virtual SCSI pass-through controller to present disks to the VMs, and Windows 10 does not have a built- in driver for this device. Therefore, the administrator needs to load the Nutanix VirtIO driver for the virtual SCSI pass-through controller during the OS installation process. The Nutanix VirtIO driver package contains various drivers that are specifically used by Windows VMs hosted in the Nutanix environment to enhance their stability and performance1. The administrator can download the latest Nutanix VirtIO driver package from the VirtIO
downloads page of the Nutanix support portal. The administrator can then follow these steps to load the driver and install the OS2:
✑ On the Windows 10 setup screen, click Load driver.
✑ Insert a USB drive or mount an ISO image that contains the Nutanix VirtIO driver package.
✑ Browse to the location of the driver package and select the folder that matches the OS architecture (32-bit or 64-bit).
✑ Select the vioscsi.inf file and click Next.
✑ Wait for the driver to load and then click Refresh.
✑ Select the disk where you want to install Windows 10 and click Next. References: 1: VirtIO Driver Versions for Windows 2: Installing Windows on AHV
A VM in a 12-node Nutanix cluster is hosting an application that has specific Physical GPU requirements. Only three nodes in the cluster meet this requirement.
The administrator wants to allow a general workload to be distributed across all nodes in the cluster and must make sure that the node hosting the VM meets its requirements.
How should the administrator perform this task?
Correct Answer:B
Configure VM-Host affinity for the nodes that meet the application??s GPU requirement. This is because VM-Host affinity allows the administrator to specify which nodes a VM can run on or must not run on1. By creating a VM-Host affinity rule that binds the application VM to the three nodes that have the physical GPU, the administrator can ensure that the VM will always run on a node that meets its requirement, regardless of any HA or migration events. This also allows the other nodes in the cluster to host other VMs without any restrictions.
