Nutanix NCP-5.15 Free Certification Exam Questions Answer Dec 2025 update

Question # 61

A customer has a 24-node cluster with all containers configured with RF3. Two different nodes have incurred a simultaneous HDD failure.

What is the result?

The cluster runs in a degraded state until the failed drives are replaced and the data has been restored to three replicas.

Sixty minutes after the failures a rebuild of the lost data can remaining HDDs begins to restore to three replicas.

The VMs with data on those drives crash, and an HA event occurs, restarting them on a remaining healthy node.

The Nutanix cluster recognizes the failures and immediately begins to rebuild lost data to three replicas.

Question # 62

Which three upgrades should an administrator be able to perform using Lifecycle Management? (Choose Three)

AOS

BMC

BIOS

Hypervisor

HBA Firmware

Question # 63

Which two capabilities does IPAM provide in a Nutanix networking configuration? (Choose two.)

Allows proxy server settings to be set up for a defined network

Allows AHV to assign IP addresses automatically to VMs using DHCP

Configures a VLAN with an IP subnet and assigns a group of IP addresses

Configures firewall rules to prevent or allow certain TCP/IP traffic

Question # 64

What is the function of the virbr0 bridge on AHV?

To carry all traffic between the user VMs and the upstream network.

To carry management and storage communication between user VMs and the CVM.

To carry management and storage communication between user VMs and AHV host.

To carry storage communication between the guest VMs and the CVM

Question # 65

When creating a VM on an AHV cluster, how is the initial placement of the VM determined?

AHV uses a round robin algorithm, placing new VMs onto hosts based on the numerical order of their UUID

The administrator right clicks on the desired host and selects Power on VM from the dropdown menu

The Acropolis Dynamic Scheduler selects a host which provides adequate resources for the VMs configuration

Placement is determined by the host that holds the new_VM token at the time of VM creation

Question # 66

An administrator is implementing a VDI solution. The workload will be a series of persistent desktops in a dedicated storage container within a four-node cluster Storage optimizations should be set on the dedicated storage container to give optimal performance including during a node failure event

Which storage optimizations should the administrator set to meet the requirements?

Compression only

Deduplication and Erasure Coding

Compressoion and Deduplication

Compression Deduplication and Erasure Coding

Question # 67

An administrator notices that most of the VMs in the cluster are on one host. Users report that an application seems to respond slowly. The application server VM has significantly more memory assigned to it than other VMs.

How should the administrator fix this issue?

Reduce the amount of memory assigned to the VM.

Migrate the VM to a different host.

Add more memory to the VM.

Increase the memory on the CVM.

Question # 68

An administrator migrates a VM onto a new Nutanix cluster- After the migration, the administrator observes the following conditions:

• Cluster memory utilization: 64%

• Cluster CPU utilization: 19%

• Cluster storage utilization. 32%

• Average VM CPU utilization: 25%

• Average VM CPU ready%: 24%

• Average VM memory utilization: 60%

Which two changes should the administrator make to improve VM performance? (Choose two.)

Reduce the number of vCPUs assigned to VMs.

Add more memory to the VMs.

Reduce the number of VMs on the hosts.

Replace high core count CPUs with high clock rate CPUs.

Question # 69

An administrator is working with Nutanix Support and needs to provide logs for troubleshooting an issue. The cluster is located in a secure environment. Data such as IP addresses and VM names cannot be shared.

Which method should be used to anonymize the log data sent to Nutanix Support?
