NCP-US Nutanix Certified Professional – Unified Storage (NCP-US) v6 exam Questions and Answers

Creating a Files distributed share with multi-protocol access would allow for easy and efficient transfer of log files between the Linux collector package and the Windows application. This would provide simplicity in terms of configuration and management, and would also ensure that the log files are stored in a distributed and highly available manner, making it easier to access them as and when required.

, Files is a software-defined scale-out file storage solution that provides a single namespace for unstructured data2. Files supports both SMB and NFS protocols, which means you can access the same share from both Linux and Windows machines3. This would provide the best performance and simplicity for your log collector package and analysis application.

ICAP stands for internet content adaption protocol and it is a standard protocol that allows you to integrate file servers with security products. Nutanix Files supports third-party vendors that use ICAP servers to scan files for malware and viruses.

Prism Central is a multi-cluster manager that provides a single, centralized management interface for Nutanix clusters running any hypervisor2. File Analytics (FA) is a service that enables you to monitor and analyze file activity on Nutanix Files clusters3. To deploy FA, you need to download the FA Virtual Appliance and import it into Prism Central3.

To deploy Files Analytics (FA), the deployment needs to be performed in Prism Central. When the administrator logs into the Prism management console using personal credentials, the administrator is not able to deploy the Virtual Appliance. Therefore, to resolve this issue, the administrator needs to perform the FA deployment using the Prism admin user account in Prism Central

File Analytics is a tool used for monitoring and auditing file activity within an organization's file servers. The administrator needs to determine the most recent operation a user performed on the share cifs1 within the last 24 hours. To accomplish this task in File Analytics, the administrator should go to the Audit Trails section, where they can search for the cifs1 share and view the actions on the share over the past 24-hour range. This will allow the administrator to see all the activity that has occurred on the share, including the most recent operation performed by the user.

According to the Nutanix Unified Storage v6 documents at nutanix.com1, File Analytics captures all file activity for registered file server instances and provides an audit trail for administrators2. In the Audit Trails section, you can search for the user or the share name and view their operations over a specified time range2. This would allow you to determine the most recent operation a user performed on the share cifs1 within the last 24 hours.

According to the Nutanix Support & Insights website1, capacity runway is an estimate of how long your cluster can support its current workload before running out of resources2. The exhibit shows that your cluster has a storage runway of only 1 month, which means you will run out of storage space soon. However, your CPU and memory runways are much longer (more than 2 years), which means you have plenty of CPU and memory resources available. Therefore, it might be possible to reduce the storage capacity requested by your workload or optimize your storage utilization to extend your storage runway. Alternatively, you could also increase the storage capacity for physical nodes or add new physical nodes to the configuration, but these options might be more costly and complex.

Connect with MPIO to the iSCSI Data Services IP. The iSCSI Data Services IP (DSIP) is a virtual IP address that provides load balancing and failover for iSCSI traffic across all CVMs in a cluster. The MPIO (Multi-Path I/O) option enables multiple paths for iSCSI traffic between Windows clients and Nutanix Volumes. The Cluster Virtual IP (CVIP) is used for management and communication between CVMs and should not be used for iSCSI traffic.

According to Nutanix Objects User Guide1, an object store is a logical grouping of buckets that share a common namespace and configuration settings. A bucket is a container for objects that can be accessed by authorized applications and users using S3-compatible APIs.

Objects Storage provides a simple and scalable S3 compatible storage tier on top of your Nutanix AOS platform2. There is no limit on objects per bucket3, but there is a limit on the total capacity of an object store that can be configured during its creation or modified later4.

Therefore, if an object store is shared with multiple users, it is possible that other users have written to the buckets in the object store and consumed its assigned capacity limit.

iscsiadm is a command-line tool that allows you to manage iSCSI connections and devices. The error message shown in the exhibit indicates that there is a problem with connecting to the iSCSI target at x.x.x.250.

Nutanix volume groups are collections of vDisks that can be exposed to virtual machines or physical hosts using iSCSI protocol. Nutanix volume groups have a whitelist feature that allows you to specify which clients can access them.

• B. The administrator has a mistake when inputting the data services IP. This could cause the iscsiadm command to fail to discover or login to the iSCSI target at x.x.x.250. The administrator should verify that they have entered the correct data services IP for the Nutanix volume group.
• D. The client’s IQN is no longer in the whitelist of the affected VG. This could cause the iSCSI target to reject or ignore the connection request from the client. The administrator should check that they have added or updated the client’s IQN in the whitelist of the Nutanix volume group.
