Master Nutanix NCP-MCI-6.10 Exam with Reliable Practice Questions
Upgrade to PremiumA security team asks an administrator to set up port mirroring of a specific source VM to a target VM.
What must the administrator ensure for this configuration to be possible?
Correct : B
Port mirroring requires the source and target VMs to be on the same host to efficiently copy network traffic without additional routing overhead.
Option B (Source VM and Target VM are on the same host) is correct:
AHV's port mirroring only works within a single host because network packets are intercepted before leaving the hypervisor.
If the VMs are on different hosts, mirroring cannot be configured without additional network tools.
Option A (Same VLAN) is incorrect:
VLAN membership is not a requirement for port mirroring.
Option C (Same subnet) is incorrect:
Port mirroring happens at the virtual switch level, which does not require VMs to be in the same subnet.
Option D (Same VPC) is incorrect:
While VPCs provide network isolation, they do not control port mirroring availability.

What is required to create a category in Nutanix?
Correct : A
Categories in Nutanix are used to group resources and require only a name and a value for definition.
Option A (A name and a value) is correct:
Categories require a name (e.g., 'Production VMs') and a value (e.g., 'Tier 1').
These are then applied to VMs, storage, and other resources for policy-based management.
Option B (Policy and Entity) is incorrect:
Policies use categories but are not required to define a category.
Option C (Service and Scope) is incorrect:
Categories do not require services or a defined scope.
Option D (Catalog and Template) is incorrect:
These apply to self-service provisioning, not categories.

An administrator wants to enable application discovery on a Nutanix cluster to monitor applications. A Prism Central instance is already configured with sufficient CPU and memory.
What other prerequisites must be met before enabling application discovery? (Choose two.)
Correct : A, B
Application discovery in Prism Central requires sufficient Prism Central resources and an active internet connection to retrieve application signatures.
Option A (Sufficient Prism Central VM resources) is correct:
Prism Central needs adequate CPU and memory to process application signatures and discovery data.
Option B (Internet connection) is correct:
Application discovery depends on Nutanix's cloud database to recognize application patterns.
Option C (API key and key ID) is incorrect:
API keys are not required for automatic application discovery.
Option D (Network controller enabled) is incorrect:
Application discovery does not depend on a network controller feature.

An administrator has been tasked with justifying why Nutanix Disaster Recovery was chosen for a multi-tier application spanning multiple business units.
What is the most efficient way to organize and manage the workloads?
Correct : B
Nutanix Categories allow administrators to group related VMs, making Disaster Recovery (DR) planning easier.
Option B (Utilize Categories to organize VMs in Recovery Plans) is correct:
Categories help group VMs based on application tiers (e.g., database, middleware, web servers).
This ensures orderly failover while maintaining application dependencies.
Option A (Naming schema) is incorrect:
Naming conventions help, but they do not provide functional organization in recovery plans.
Option C (1:10 Recovery Plan to VMs) is incorrect:
The ratio depends on business requirements, not a fixed number.
Option D (RESTful APIs) is incorrect:
Automation is useful, but it does not replace proper VM grouping via categories.

An administrator is working with a network engineer to design the network architecture for a DR failover.
Because DNS is well-designed, the DR site will use a different subnet but retain the same last octet in the IP address.
What is the best way to achieve this?
Correct : D
Offset-based IP mapping in Nutanix Recovery Plans allows automatic subnet changes during DR failover.
Option D (Utilize Recovery Plan Offset-based IP mapping) is correct:
This method automatically adjusts the IP range while keeping the same last octet.
It eliminates the need for manual intervention after failover.
Option A (Custom script) is incorrect:
Scripting is an option, but Recovery Plan IP mapping is simpler and native to Nutanix.
Option B (Use IPAM) is incorrect:
IP Address Management (IPAM) is useful, but offset-based mapping provides more control.
Option C (Manually update IPs) is incorrect:
This would be time-consuming and error-prone.
