NCSC-Level-1 Nutanix Certified Services Consultant (NCSC): Level 1 Questions and Answers

A consultant is deploying a Nutanix cluster at a customer location. The consultant will be deploying the latest AOS along with the latest Nutanix hardware.

Which three references should the consultant review prior to this installation? (Choose three.)

While trying to upgrade AOS in a cluster, a consultant receives a warning message that there are two powered-on VMs that need to be powered off for the upgrade to proceed.

What would cause this warning to be issued?

After installation, network ports are properly configured with the default active-backup bonding.

One 10GbE port goes to switch 1. Another 10GbE port goes to switch 2. A consultant tests failover by manually pulling one of the cables and notices it is taking too much time to failover, which is causing excessive packet loss.

What should the consultant enable to resolve this issue?

Refer to the exhibit.

A consultant is deploying a cluster using the customer-provided IP addressing information.

Which option in Foundation must be configured to ensure connectivity during the deployment?

A consultant is using the Foundation applet to create a cluster. During the process the consultant refreshes the progress bar web page and is concerned when nothing loads.

What should the consultant do to verify that Foundation has completed successfully?

After a consultant runs Foundation, the imaging process fails.

In which two locations can the consultant find the logs? (Choose two.)

A customer wants to know the details of network validation testing.

Where can the consultant find this information?

What is the minimum number of nodes required for a Nutanix Cluster to support Replication Factor 3 (RF3) on a storage container?

A customer is deploying Nutanix AHV clusters over hundreds of remote sites worldwide. Prism Central will be used to centrally manage all clusters. Customer security policy requires the use of MS Active Directory (AD).groups to authenticate all network devices.

Which method should be consultant use to meet the requirements?

A consultant is running the Foundation VM using desktop virtualization software. No nodes are discovered.

What should the consultant verify first?

A consultant creates three storage containers (container-1, container-2, container-3). The customer requires that only container-1, which will be utilized as an NFS datastore, be presented to external hosts.

However, users are able to mount all three containers.

What is causing this problem?

Refer to the exhibit.

A consultant is installing AOS 5.10 and ESXi 6.5 on three nodes. During the Foundation process, ESXi 6.5 is not available as one of the choices for hypervisor.

Which solution should the consultant use?

A consultant is deploying a two-node cluster at a remote branch office.

Which component must be available to complete cluster configuration?

In a 20-node ESXi deployment, the customer needs additional resiliency to survive the loss of two nodes concurrently.

Which configuration should the consultant use to ensure that the appropriate resources are available?

Which subnet is reserved for internal connectivity within a Nutanix Cluster?

While preparing for a new four-node cluster installation, the consultant has a Tech Review Call with the customer. The hardware is as follows:

* 4 nodes in 1 Block

* 8 x 10 GbE Ports

* 4 x 1 GbE IPMI Ports

* Adequate Ethernet ports are available

* Ethernet cables are correct and available

* Adequate rack space is available

Which remaining item must be confirmed as available onsite?

A consultant is planning an installation and needs to collect configuration items to be used during the install. The data needed from the customer are IP addresses, Gateway, DNS servers, and NTP Servers.

Which Cluster Deployment document must be completed with the customer?

A consultant configures an ESXi cluster which will utilize a vSphere Distributed Switch (vDS). The consultant has just migrated the first host to the dvSwitch when several alerts appear within Prism Element regarding Host-to-CVM connectivity.

What is causing these alerts?

A consultant creates a four-node AHV cluster with two 1GbE (eth0, etc1) and two 10GbE (eth2, eth3) NICs per node. The 1GbE NICs will not be placed into service, but the customer wants the network to be preconfigured for their eventual use.

The consultant removes the 1GbE NIC from the default bond and creates a second bridge(br1), but is unable to add the 1GbE NIC using the below command:

manage_ovs –bridge_name br1 –interfaces 1g –bond_name br1-up update_uplinks

Which parameter is missing from this command?

After a recent installation using a flat switch, a consultant notices issues migrating the Nutanix nodes to the customer’s network. The customer states that they are using VLANs on the production switch but not on the dedicated switch for IPMI. The customer does not require a manual configuration of the host and CVM.

What network changes need to be made to correct the issues?
