Which Objects feature will satisfy this requirement?

• A. Lifecycle polices
• B. WORM bucket
• C. Protection policies
• D. Object versioning

Answer: A

Explanation:
According to Nutanix documentation on unified storage (NCP-US) v6, Lifecycle policies enable administrators to ensure that objects in a bucket expire after a certain period of time. You can set rules to automate the transition of objects to different storage classes or to expire them altogether. This feature helps to manage storage costs by reducing the need to manually manage data retention policies for individual objects in a bucket.
Lifecycle policies allow you to define rules for automatically deleting or archiving objects in a bucket after a certain period of time1. This feature can help you reduce storage costs and manage data retention.

NEW QUESTION # 16
An administrator is scheduling to upgrade Files from version 3.8.1.3 to 4.1.0.2 for all the dark sites.
After transferring the dark site bundle to the internal web server, the administrator performs an LCM inventory but cannot check off the Files upgrade to be performed.
Which component needs to be upgraded along side of the core Files components?

• A. File Analytics
• B. File Server Module
• C. Files Sender
• D. Files Manager

Answer: B

Explanation:
When upgrading Files from version 3.8.1.3 to 4.1.0.2 for all dark sites, the File Server Module component needs to be upgraded alongside the core Files components. This is because the File Server Module is a core component of Files and is responsible for file-level data services, including access control, auditing, and file sharing.
If the File Server Module is not upgraded alongside the core Files components, it can result in compatibility issues and potentially cause the upgrade to fail.
Therefore, it is recommended to upgrade the File Server Module together with the core Files components when upgrading Files.

NEW QUESTION # 17
An administrator is determining the most recent operation a user performed on the share cifs1 within the last 24 hours.
How should the administrator complete this task in File Analytics?

• A. In the Audit Trails section, search for the user and view their last operations.
• B. In the Anomalis section. select Users exceed an operation count threshold an input the 24 hour range for share cifs1.
• C. In the Anomalies section view the anomaly rule created for the user with an interval of 24 hours.
• D. In the Audit Trails section, search for the cifs1 share and view the actions on the share over the past 24-hour range.

Answer: D

Explanation:
File Analytics is a tool used for monitoring and auditing file activity within an organization's file servers. The administrator needs to determine the most recent operation a user performed on the share cifs1 within the last 24 hours. To accomplish this task in File Analytics, the administrator should go to the Audit Trails section, where they can search for the cifs1 share and view the actions on the share over the past 24-hour range. This will allow the administrator to see all the activity that has occurred on the share, including the most recent operation performed by the user.
According to the Nutanix Unified Storage v6 documents at nutanix.com1, File Analytics captures all file activity for registered file server instances and provides an audit trail for administrators2. In the Audit Trails section, you can search for the user or the share name and view their operations over a specified time range2. This would allow you to determine the most recent operation a user performed on the share cifs1 within the last 24 hours.

NEW QUESTION # 18
Why should an administrator avoid allocating over half the RAM on a host to a FSVM?

• A. The FSVM would be in a single NUMA node boundary.
• B. The FSVM has a set memory configuration.
• C. The FSVM would experience host swapping of memory.
• D. The FSVM would cross NUMA node boundaries.

Answer: D

Explanation:
The administrator should avoid allocating over half the RAM on a host to a FSVM because the FSVM would cross NUMA node boundaries (option A).
NUMA (Non-Uniform Memory Access) is a memory architecture that divides the system memory into multiple regions that are assigned to different processors or cores.
If a FSVM crosses NUMA node boundaries, it will have to access memory from different regions, which will result in higher latency and lower performance for file operations.
To avoid this issue, the administrator should ensure that the FSVM memory allocation is within a single NUMA node boundary.

NEW QUESTION # 19

NEW QUESTION # 22
An administrator configured WORM on an existing Objects bucket at 4 p.m. on Monday. During the configuration, the administrator did not select Enable Version. At 8 a.m. the next morning, a ticket was submitted to update the bucket to include versioning.
What are the correct steps to make the requested change?

• A. Disable WORM and reconfigure with Enable Version and Enable WORM checked as it has been less than 24 hours since WORM was enabled.
• B. Create a new' bucket with Enable Version selected and migrate all data since versioning cannot be changed after 12 hours once WORM is enabled.
• C. update the WORM settings to Enable Version as that setting can be turned on at any point after WORM is enabled.
• D. Create a bucket with Enable Version selected and migrate all data since versioning cannot be changed immediately after WORM is enabled.

Answer: A

Explanation:
According to the Nutanix Unified Storage (NCP-US) v6 documentation, once WORM (Write-Once-Read-Many) has been enabled on an Objects bucket, versioning cannot be immediately enabled. Instead, the WORM configuration must be disabled and then re-enabled, this time with Enable Version and Enable WORM checked. Since the administrator did not select Enable Version during the initial configuration, this step is necessary in order to enable versioning.
https://portal.nutanix.com/page/documents/solutions/details?targetId=NVD-2151-Unified-Storage:data-immutability-and-versioning.html You can disable WORM within 24 hours of enabling it on a bucket1. This will allow you to change the versioning settings on the bucket.

Explanation:
To add additional volumes to a VM that is mapped to a VG, you need to add more vDisks to that VG1. vDisks are virtual disks that reside on Storage Containers2.
To maintain data protection for a VM that is assigned to a Protection Domain (PD), you need to add any new vDisks to the same Consistency Group (CG) as the existing ones3. A CG is a subset of entities in a PD that are snapshotted in a crash-consistent manner2.

NEW QUESTION # 35
The exhibit shows a Prism Pro scenario result created by an administrator for a Nutanix cluster.
The physical nodes in the cluster include these characteristics:
144 GHz CPU power
3 Tib RAM
41.63 TiB storage
The total target workload requests are:
5 Ghz CPU
10 GB RAM
40 TiB storage
What should be changed to have a good capacity runway at least for the next 6 months?

• A. Review storage capacity requested by the workload.
• B. Change the date of physical rode availability.
• C. Add new physical node to the configuration.
• D. Increase the storage capacity for physical nodes.

Answer: A

Explanation:
According to the Nutanix Support & Insights website1, capacity runway is an estimate of how long your cluster can support its current workload before running out of resources2. The exhibit shows that your cluster has a storage runway of only 1 month, which means you will run out of storage space soon. However, your CPU and memory runways are much longer (more than 2 years), which means you have plenty of CPU and memory resources available. Therefore, it might be possible to reduce the storage capacity requested by your workload or optimize your storage utilization to extend your storage runway. Alternatively, you could also increase the storage capacity for physical nodes or add new physical nodes to the configuration, but these options might be more costly and complex.
