A customer is considering increasing the Redundancy Factor from 2 to 3 for a Nutanix cluster in their existing environment. Which option would provide the company with the optimal solution?


A. Four Compute Nodes with 25% available disk space


B. Six Compute Nodes with 25% available disk space


C. Three Compute Nodes with 40% available disk space


D. Five Compute Nodes with 40% available disk space





B.
  Six Compute Nodes with 25% available disk space

Explanation: To increase the Redundancy Factor (RF) from 2 to 3, at least five nodes are required for the cluster to function correctly with RF3, as each data block needs to be replicated to three different nodes. However, the optimal solution that offers both the necessary node count and sufficient storage overhead is:
Six Compute Nodes with 25% available disk space: This configuration ensures that there are enough nodes to support RF3 while maintaining adequate storage capacity for redundancy without overutilization.

An administrator is currently using both 10g uplink with LACP and balance-tcp. A single VM should not be allowed to use more than a single 10G uplink, and both uplinks should be utilized. Which two command should be used to configure the bond? (choose two)


A. Ovs-vsctl set port br0-up bond_mode=balance-slb


B. Ovs-vsctl set port br0-up bond_mode=balance-tcp


C. Ovs-vsctl set port br0-up bond_mode=active-backup


D. Ovs-vsctl set port br0-up other_config: bond-rebalance-interval=30000





A.
  Ovs-vsctl set port br0-up bond_mode=balance-slb

D.
  Ovs-vsctl set port br0-up other_config: bond-rebalance-interval=30000

A customer wants to use NIC teaming on an ESXi host using a vSphere Standard Switch configured with the Route based on physical NIC load load balancing option. The customer does not see the option when editing the Teaming and Failover settings for the switch. How should the consultant resolve this issue?


A. Change the load balancing option on the switch.


B. Add a vSphere Distributed Switch


C. Add another physical NIC to the team.


D. Install a vCenter server to manage the switch





D.
  Install a vCenter server to manage the switch

Explanation: For a customer to use NIC teaming with the "Route based on physical NIC load" load balancing option on an ESXi host using a vSphere Standard Switch, they need vCenter Server. This specific load balancing method is not available on a vSphere Standard Switch without vCenter management, as it requires vSphere Distributed Switch capabilities that are managed via vCenter Server. By installing a vCenter server, the customer can upgrade from vSphere Standard to Distributed Switches and access more advanced features including the desired NIC teaming option.References: VMware vSphere Documentation, Nutanix Bible.

A consultant is setting up a new vSphere cluster. Customer requirements are as follows:

* VMs should automatically failover to another host if the host crashes
* Host CPU and Memory resources should be evenly balanced
* New VMs should be placed on the host with the most resources available

Which two settings should be turned on to meet the requirements? (Choose two.)


A. vShpere DRS


B. vSphere HA


C. vSphere vMotion


D. vSphere Power Management





A.
  vShpere DRS

B.
  vSphere HA

A consultant asks a customer to verify the ToR Switch data port configuration was done according to Nutanix best practices. The switch configuration must simplify future deployments and expansions. Which two configuration actions will satisfy this requirement? (Choose two.)


A. Disable multicast and broadcast flood optimizations.


B. Configure the CVM and hypervisor host VLAN as the native.


C. Use a tagged VLAN for the CVM and hypervisor hosts.


D. Configure the connected switch ports as access.





A.
  Disable multicast and broadcast flood optimizations.

C.
  Use a tagged VLAN for the CVM and hypervisor hosts.

Explanation: For a Nutanix cluster configuration that simplifies future deployments and expansions, disabling multicast and broadcast flood optimizations (A) and using a tagged VLAN for the CVM and hypervisor hosts (C) are the best practices. Disabling these optimizations helps in reducing unnecessary network traffic and potential broadcast storms in a growing environment. Using tagged VLANs for CVM and hypervisor hosts ensures proper network segmentation and scalability, allowing for easier management and expansion without reconfiguring the native network setup for each expansion or deployment.References: Nutanix Network Configuration Best Practices, Nutanix Deployment Guide.
