NCA-6.10 Practice Test

Explanation
To enable Windows Defender Credential Guard, the VM must be configured withUEFI(Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) instead of Legacy BIOS. UEFI provides the necessary support for Secure Boot and Virtualization-Based Security (VBS), both of which are prerequisites for Credential Guard.
Steps:
When creating or editing the VM, selectUEFIas the firmware type.
Ensure Secure Boot and VBS are enabled in the OS configuration.

Explanation
TheData Protectionfeature in Prism Element provides built-in disaster recovery capabilities by enabling asynchronous replication between Nutanix clusters. With a latency of 30ms between the two sites, asynchronous replication can ensure that data is replicated efficiently while adhering to recovery point objectives (RPO). The administrator can configure Protection Domains and Replication Targets to set up DR between the clusters.
A. Recovery Plan:Incorrect, as Recovery Plans are part of Prism Central for orchestrated failover, not Prism Element.
B. Protection Policies:Incorrect, as these are defined under Prism Central.
C. Data Protection:Correct, as it enables disaster recovery via replication configurations in Prism Element.
D. Metro Cluster:Incorrect, as Metro Cluster requires low latency (<5ms) and is not suitable for a 30ms latency scenario.

Explanation
By default, Nutanix Lifecycle Manager (LCM) auto-inventory runs at 2:00 AMlocal cluster time. LCM performs a daily check to gather information about available updates for firmware, software, and other components to ensure the cluster remains up-to-date. This operation is non-disruptive and does not impact cluster performance.

Explanation
To remove old VM snapshots, the task should be completed from the VM dashboard in Prism Element. This dashboard allows administrators to manage virtual machine-related operations, including snapshot creation, deletion, and restoration. Steps include:
Navigate to Prism Element > VM.
Select the VM for which snapshots need to be deleted.
Click on Snapshots, then delete the selected snapshots.

Explanation
To rerun only the health checks that previously failed or issued warnings, the administrator can select theOnly Failed and Warning Checksoption in Prism Element. This targeted approach helps verify that resolved issues have been addressed without rerunning all checks unnecessarily.
Steps:
Navigate toPrism Element > Health > NCC Checks.
Filter forOnly Failed and Warning Checksand rerun them.
Other options:
A. Run LCM Pre-Upgrade: Runs pre-upgrade checks, not related to health check validation.
B. Runncc health_checks run_all: Executes all checks, not just failed ones.
C. Select Run Check for each check worked: Requires manual execution for each check.
