An administrator has been alerted to a VM that has high I/O latency and wants to determine if there are any other factors, such as insufficient network or memory resources that correlate, as part of a troubleshooting process.
Which type of chart should the administrator create to allow all relevant data to be easily exported to CSV for later analysis?


A. A VM entity chart with each of the relevant metrics.


B. A cluster metric chart for each of the relevant metrics


C. A cluster entity chart with each of the relevant metrics


D. A VM metric chart for each of the relevant metrics





D.
  A VM metric chart for each of the relevant metrics

An administrator needs to provide access for a user to view real-time performance metric for all VMs on all clusters across the datacenter.
Which method accomplishes this with the least effort and ongoing maintenance?


A. Configure IDP authentication and assign the user to the Cluster Admin role in Prism Central.


B. Configure AD authentication and assign the user to the Viewer role in Prism Element.


C. Configure AD authentication create a custom role, assign the user to the role, and apply the role to all clusters and VMs





C.
  Configure AD authentication create a custom role, assign the user to the role, and apply the role to all clusters and VMs

Explanation: The best method to provide access for a user to view real-time performance metrics for all VMs on all clusters across the datacenter is to configure AD authentication create a custom role, assign the user to the role, and apply the role to all clusters and VMs. This method accomplishes this with the least effort and ongoing maintenance because:
AD authentication allows Nutanix Prism Central to integrate with an existing Active Directory (AD) domain and use AD users and groups for authentication and authorization5. This simplifies user management and avoids creating local users on Prism Central.
Creating a custom role allows Nutanix Prism Central to define granular permissions for different actions and entities based on specific needs6. This ensures that users only have access to what they need and nothing more.
Assigning the user to the custom role allows Nutanix Prism Central to grant access rights for that user based on the role definition7. This avoids assigning permissions individually for each user. Applying the role to all clusters and VMs allows Nutanix Prism Central to propagate the access rights for that role across all entities in scope8. This ensures that users can view real-time performance metrics for all VMs on all clusters without having to configure each entity separately.

D. Remove a Node from a cluster


E. Move Nodes between clusters.





A.
  Destroy a cluster.

Upon logging into Prism Central, an administrator notices high cluster latency.
How can the administrator analyze data with the least number of steps or actions?


A. Modify Data Density in the main Prism Central dashboard.


B. Click on the chart in the widget to expand the data elements.


C. Take note of the duster name and create a new Analysis chart.


D. Click the cluster name in the cluster quick access widget.





B.
  Click on the chart in the widget to expand the data elements.

Explanation: According to the Nutanix Prism Central Guide, you can click on any chart in a widget to expand it and view more details about the data elements.

An administrator logs into the Nutanix Support Portal and notices there is a new version of the LCM Framework available. In an effort ensure LCM is providing the latest features, the administrator would like to upgrade LCM.
How can the LCM Framework be upgraded?


A. Perform an LCM inventory


B. Upload the latest LCM Framework as an image in the image Configuration in Prism


C. Upload the latest LCM Framework bundle via Upgrade Software in Prism


D. Upgrade AOS





A.
  Perform an LCM inventory

Explanation: LCM (Life Cycle Manager) is a feature that allows Nutanix administrators to perform one-click firmware and software upgrades for Nutanix clusters and components. LCM fetches inventory and update information from a pre-configured URL that contains the latest versions of firmware and software packages. However, upgrading Nutanix AOS does not automatically update the fetch URL. To update the fetch URL, the administrator needs to update the LCM framework. The LCM framework is the core component of LCM that provides the logic and functionality for inventory, download, and upgrade operations1.
To upgrade the LCM framework, the administrator needs to perform an LCM inventory. An LCM inventory is a process that scans the cluster and its components for their current firmware and software versions and compares them with the available versions from the fetch URL. If there is a newer version of the LCM framework available, it will be shown as an update option under Cluster Software Component in the Available Updates page. The administrator can then select and apply the LCM framework update to upgrade it to the latest version2.
The administrator can perform an LCM inventory using Prism Element or Prism Central. The steps are as follows3:
In Prism Element, go to the Network Configuration page and click Life Cycle Management.
In Prism Central, go to the Services page and click Life Cycle Management.
Click Inventory in the toolbar and select Perform Inventory from the drop-down menu.
Wait for the inventory process to complete and check for any available updates.
