On a Nutanix cluster, what does Network Segmentation refer to?
Correct Answer:C
network segmentation on Nutanix clusters refers to creating a separate network for service-specific communication and isolating different types of traffic over selected VLANs or physical interfaces.

An administrator is concerned about the amount of data that a VM reading and writing to the storage fabric.
Which metric will provide that data?
Correct Answer:D
The correct answer is D. VM Storage Controller Bandwidth.
VM Storage Controller Bandwidth is a metric that measures the amount of data that a VM is reading and writing to the storage fabric. The storage fabric is the network of storage controllers (CVMs) that provide distributed and fault-tolerant storage services to the VMs on the Nutanix cluster. The VM Storage Controller Bandwidth metric shows the read and write bandwidth in megabytes per second (MBps) for each VM. The higher the bandwidth, the more data the VM is transferring to and from the storage fabric1.
The administrator can use Prism Central to view the VM Storage Controller Bandwidth metric for each VM in a chart or a widget. The administrator can also use Prism Central to view other metrics related to the VM??s storage performance, such as VM Storage Controller IOPS, VM Storage Controller Latency, and VM Disk Usage2.

An administrator recently added new SSDs to a Nutanix cluster and knows the firmware will be out of date, Due to security constraints, the cluster does not have access to the Internet.
Which two steps must be completed to update the firmware? (Choose two.)
Correct Answer:AB
Refer to the exhibit.
System Non-Root Partition Usage shows a warning or critical alert The administrator needs to change the frequency of checks and alerts to respond more quickly.
Where in Prism Element should the administrator change the frequency of checks and alerts?
Correct Answer:C
According to the Nutanix Support & Insights web search result1, the administrator can change the frequency of checks and alerts for the System Non-Root Partition Usage in Prism Element by going to the Health Dashboard > Manage Checks > Schedule. The administrator can select the check name, such as disk_usage_check, and click on Edit Schedule. The administrator can then choose the desired frequency, such as every 15 minutes, every hour, or every day, and click on Save. This will change how often the check runs and alerts are generated.
An administrator is implementing a VDI solution. The workload will be a series of persistent desktops in a dedicated storage container within a four-node cluster Storage optimizations should be set on the dedicated storage container to give optimal performance including during a node failure event
Which storage optimizations should the administrator set to meet the requirements?
Correct Answer:D
According to the web search results, three storage optimizations that should be set on a dedicated storage container for a VDI solution with persistent desktops are compression, deduplication and erasure coding. Compression is a technique that reduces the size of data by removing redundant information. Deduplication is a technique that eliminates duplicate copies of data blocks and stores only unique blocks. Erasure coding is a technique that increases usable capacity by reducing the replication factor of data blocks and using parity information instead7. These three optimizations can improve performance and save storage space for VDI workloads, especially during a node failure event when
data needs to be rebuilt from parity information8. The administrator can enable these optimizations by using Prism Element web console or ncli command-line interface9.
