Q44. The accounting department has been successfully utilizing Erasure Coding for a long time. During the weekend, there was a large increase in data usage. The administrator expected lower space usage on the storage container.
What could be the cause of this low space savings?

Q45. How many S3 targets are supported for Prism Central point-in-time backups?

Q46. An administrator needs to be able to use remaining capacity for storage and memory.
What settings should the administrator set to accomplish this?

Q47. Due to user complaints of slow VM performance, an administrator is reviewing performance metrics on their Nutanix cluster and executes iostat on a Controller VM (CVM).
The following output is captured:
#TIMESTAMP 1768953673 : 01/21/2026 12:01:13 AM
avg-cpu: %user %nice %system %iowait %steal %idle
2.32 0.09 7.53 83.20 0.00 6.86
Based on this output, which statement most accurately describes the current state of the CVM?

Q48. While configuring a remote site for PD-Based DR, an administrator elects to skip vStore mapping. Assuming the same container names don ‘ t exist on the two sites, what is the expected behavior of data placement at the remote site for replications?

Q49. An administrator is tasked with creating a Disaster Recovery plan between two clusters within Prism Central local AZ. To ensure a failover operation is successful, the administrator also needs the ability to test recovery in both directions.
What are the recommended networks required between the two clusters for successfully testing the recovery?

Q50. An administrator is tasked with configuring a remote site for Data Protection. At the source site, the VMs are in a storage container named Marketing, but they need the data to be replicated to a storage container named Backups at the destination site.
What must be configured in order to accomplish this goal?

Q51. As part of a resource planning exercise, an administrator observes that a significant number of guest VMs are consistently using less than half of their allocated resources. Which VM profile in Prism Central best categorizes these VMs?

Q52. A VM is protected by a protection policy and the volume group is configured with CHAP authentication. An administrator rotates the VM’s password as part of the monthly routine. What action must the administrator perform to ensure the password is retained in the event of a failover?

Q53. A corporate security policy mandates strict protection against boot-level rootkits and requires the isolation of NTLM password hashes from the running operating system to prevent ” pass-the-hash ” attacks.
During the initial testing phase, the administrator deploys a test VM using the standard AHV creation workflow. While configuring the guest operating system, administrator attempts to enable Windows Defender Credential Guard via Group Policy. However, the feature fails to start, and the system logs indicate that the underlying virtualization platform does not meet the necessary hardware security requirements.
Which specific configuration change must the administrator apply to the VM to satisfy the security policy requirements?

Q54. An administrator receives intermittent “VM I/O latency” complaints from two application teams that share the same AHV cluster.
In Prism Central, multiple performance-related alerts appear across the same 30 minute window, but only some VMs are impacted.
The administrator needs to collect the most relevant platform logs for escalation, minimizing noise and ensuring the bundle covers the exact time window when the alert condition occurred. The organization also requires that the log bundle can be attached to a support case without manual repackaging.
Which approach best satisfies the requirement?

Q55. An administrator has configured a virtual switch with Active-Active bond type with MAC pinning (balance- slb) bond type. The network team enables LACP on the top-of-rack switches connected to the Nutanix nodes.
After the switch change, network throughput degrades.
What is the most likely cause?

Q56. An administrator detects suspicious outbound connections from a single VM that hosts a web tier component.
The incident response requirement is to immediately quarantine the VM so it cannot communicate with any other workload, but still allow connectivity from a designated forensic tooling group so investigators can collect evidence.
The organization uses categories for policy scope and wants a change that can be applied quickly during an incident without redesigning existing policies.
Which action best meets the requirement?

Q57. An administrator needs to enable software data-at-rest encryption on a 2-node ROBO cluster. The organization requires that encryption keys are stored on-premises outside of the cluster. Which KMS type should the administrator configure?

Q58. An administrator is tasked with configuring asynchronous replication between two Availability Zones (AZs) using a Protection Policy.
Which requirement must be met to successfully configure asynchronous replication?

Q59. An administrator would like to upgrade LCM (Life Cycle Management) to the latest version on an AHV cluster. Which step should the administrator take to guarantee LCM is upgraded to the latest version?

Q60. An administrator needs to give a user group access to resources from multiple clusters. Which action must be performed in Prism Central?

Q61. An administrator needs to ensure that if a host remains in a disconnected status for 40 seconds, VMs running on a host are automatically restarted.
What method should the administrator use to ensure root file system corruption has not occurred and that the root file system of a host isn ‘ t in a read-only state?

Q62. When the administrator attempts to configure a Volume Group and connect an external iSCSI initiator, the connection fails. Which cluster configuration step did the administrator most likely miss?

Q63. Which storage-optimization method is recommended for full clone VDI workloads?

Q64. An administrator is configuring uplinks on an AHV cluster and wants guest VMs to use bandwidth across multiple physical adapters without additional configuration of the physical switches.
Which uplink bond type should the administrator choose?

Q65. A company has recently purchased five new Nutanix clusters. The lab manager has been tasked with remotely deploying the Nutanix infrastructure in the most efficient way possible. Which tool would best help to accomplish this task?

Q66. What is the minimum number of nodes required for a storage container with Replication Factor 2 and Erasure Coding?

Q67. An administrator supports multiple AHV clusters under Prism Central and uses Intelligent Operations playbooks for remediation.
The organization recently standardized alert policies, but the alert policy names and IDs change between environments due to automated deployments and periodic updates.
The requirement is to trigger a remediation playbook for any alert that matches a defined performance pattern (for example, impact type and severity plus a keyword pattern), regardless of which specific alert policy generated it, while avoiding unrelated non-performance alerts.
Which playbook trigger best meets the requirement?
