An administrator needs to configure Prism to send encrypted messages to a set of recipients.
Which setting must be applied?
Correct Answer:D
The best way for the administrator to configure Prism to send encrypted messages to a set of recipients is to set the SMTP Security Mode to STARTTLS. This will ensure that all messages sent over SMTP are encrypted and secure. Additionally, the administrator should consider installing SSL certificates on Prism Central to ensure that the messages are being sent securely. Finally, the administrator should consider configuring Prism Central to use Cluster Lockdown, which will help ensure that the messages are only sent to the intended recipients.
An administrator is configuring cross-hypervisor DR from an ESXi cluster to a new AHV cluster. When the administrator migrates a protection domain to the AHV cluster, the VMs fail to boot.
What should the administrator do to correct this problem?
Correct Answer:C
According to the web search results, one of the requirements for cross- hypervisor disaster recovery (CHDR) is to install and configure Nutanix Guest Tools (NGT) on all the VMs2. NGT configures the VM with all the required drivers for VM portability. Without NGT, the VMs may fail to boot after being migrated to a different hypervisor type.
An administrator needs to provide access for a user to view real-time performance metric for all VMs on all clusters across the datacenter.
Which method accomplishes this with the least effort and ongoing maintenance?
Correct Answer:C
The best method to provide access for a user to view real-time performance metrics for all VMs on all clusters across the datacenter is to configure AD authentication create a custom role, assign the user to the role, and apply the role to all clusters and VMs. This method accomplishes this with the least effort and ongoing maintenance because:
✑ AD authentication allows Nutanix Prism Central to integrate with an existing Active
Directory (AD) domain and use AD users and groups for authentication and authorization5. This simplifies user management and avoids creating local users on Prism Central.
✑ Creating a custom role allows Nutanix Prism Central to define granular
permissions for different actions and entities based on specific needs6. This ensures that users only have access to what they need and nothing more.
✑ Assigning the user to the custom role allows Nutanix Prism Central to grant access
rights for that user based on the role definition7. This avoids assigning permissions individually for each user.
✑ Applying the role to all clusters and VMs allows Nutanix Prism Central to
propagate the access rights for that role across all entities in scope8. This ensures that users can view real-time performance metrics for all VMs on all clusters without having to configure each entity separately.

Refer to Exhibit:
An administrator wants to replace and old node with a node of newer generation in a 3- node cluster. The administrator has already chosen the appropriate node. But unable to remove it from the cluster.
Why is the Remove Host option not shown in the exhibit?
Correct Answer:D
A Nutanix cluster requires a minimum of three nodes to maintain quorum and data availability. Removing a node from a 3-node cluster would violate the redundancy factor and cause data loss. Therefore, it is not possible to remove a host from a 3-node cluster using Prism or CLI. The only way to replace a node in a 3-node cluster is to use the Foundation tool, which will erase the existing cluster configuration and create a new cluster with the new node1.
