Which subnet is reserved for CVM internal switch traffic?
Correct : B
The subnet 192.168.254.0/24 is commonly reserved for CVM (Controller Virtual Machine) internal switch traffic within Nutanix environments. This subnet is used internally by the CVMs for management and storage operations that are integral to the Nutanix infrastructure. Using a separate, reserved subnet helps to isolate management traffic from general network traffic, enhancing security and performance. Reference:

Which configuration item is a hard requirement to deploy a Nutanix cluster?
Correct : D
The CVM IP address is a hard requirement for deploying a Nutanix cluster. Each CVM must have a unique IP address assigned to it as this IP address is critical for cluster operations, including data replication, management activities, and communication between CVMs and hypervisors. The other options, while important for various functionalities, do not represent a hard requirement for initial deployment. Reference:

After a consultant runs a bare metal Foundation, the imaging process fails.
In which two locations can the consultant find the logs? (Choose two.)
Correct : C, D
After a failed bare metal Foundation imaging process, the consultant can find relevant logs in two primary locations: on the Foundation VM at '/home/nutanix/foundation/logs' and via the 'View Logs' link available on the Foundation Imaging progress screen. These logs are crucial for diagnosing issues during the imaging process as they provide detailed error messages and operational data. Reference:

A consultant is discussing VLAN tagging for a newly deployed Nutanix system. The customer requests that the the vlan dor the CVMs
and AHV hosts be placed in the customer's management VLAN 10. The customer also has VLAN 20 for production VM traffic and
VLAN 30 for backup/replication traffic.
Which VLAN should the consultant recommend for CVM and host traffic?
Correct : A
For a newly deployed Nutanix system where the customer has specified VLAN 10 for management traffic, the consultant should recommend using VLAN 10 for both CVM and AHV host traffic. This VLAN designation ensures that all management, monitoring, and internal cluster communication are on a dedicated network, separate from production VM traffic (VLAN 20) and backup/replication traffic (VLAN 30), thereby enhancing network security and performance.

A customer has a mail server and needs Nutanix to send email notifications about errors that might occur in Prism. The following information is included under SMTP Server Settings
IP Address of mail server
Port Security Mode
From email address
What should the consultant set up before arriving onsite?
Correct : B
Before arriving onsite, the consultant should set up the SMTP server to allow emails from both the Cluster Virtual IP Address (VIP) and the Controller Virtual Machine (CVM) IP addresses. This setup ensures that Prism can successfully send email notifications through the customer's mail server about any errors or notifications generated by the Nutanix environment, as both the Cluster VIP and CVM IPs are sources from which Prism sends alerts.
