Question 1

An administrator has configured CVM security hardening on a Nutanix cluster with the following settings: * IP Restriction State is set to enabled * Password-based SSH access is disabled via Cluster Lockdown The administrator attempts to SSH into the CVM from a new jump box and the connection is refused. What should the administrator do to restore SSH access to the CVM?

Options :

A : Log in to Prism Central Security Dashboard and remotely update the SSH whitelisted addresses for the affected cluster.

B : Log in to Prism Element and update the Cluster Lockdown settings to add the new jump box IP address

C : Access the CVM using the local console or serial access and update the SSH whitelisted address to the new jump box IP.

D : Restart the CVM to reset the IP restriction and regain SSH access from the new jump box IP.

Answer: C

Question 2

An administrator manages a shared AHV environment where Dev workloads must not exceed 2,000 IOPS per VM during business hours to prevent noisy-neighbor impact on Prod. The administrator already uses categories to group VMs (for example, category Env=Dev) and wants a scalable approach that applies consistent throttling to all current and future Dev VMs without configuring each VM individually. Which approach best meets the requirement?

Options :

A : Increase the replication factor for Dev workloads so additional copies distribute I/O and cap IOPS.

B : Configure a storage policy with QoS throttling and associate the policy to the category used by Dev VMs.

C : Set Storage QoS attributes on one representative Dev VM, then clone that VM so all Dev VMs inherit the QoS settings.

D : Enable compression on the storage container hosting Dev VMs to reduce latency and enforce an effective IOPS limit.

Answer: B

Question 3

An administrator added an SSH public key and verified connectivity to CVMs and AHV hosts. What is the recommended next step to reduce interactive access risk?

Options :

A : Enable core dumps on AHV hosts for post-incident analysis.

B : Disable password authentication for all CVMs and AHV hosts.

C : Enable a login banner on Prism Central to acknowledge access terms.

D : Increase the number of concurrent Prism Central UI sessions.

Answer: B

Question 4

An administrator needs to adjust the settings of an existing virtual machine. Which parameter is restricted from modification once the VM has been created?

Options :

A : BIOS mode

B : vCPU count

C : Boot priority

D : Memory allocation

Answer: A

Question 5

Options :

A : Configure Nutanix Projects

B : Enable Advanced Network Controller

C : Enable Micro Services Platform

D : Configure Availability Zone
