The current environment has these characteristics:
Two Volume Groups named VGI and VG2.
A Storage Container named SCI with inline-compression.
A Storage Container named SC2 with post-process compression.
Which action should the administrator take to most efficiently satisfy this requirement?
- A. Wfithin VG1, create one vDisk in SC1 and one vDisk in Sc2.
- B. Writhin VG1, create one vDisk in SC1 and within VG2, create one vDisk in SC2.
- C. Within SC1, create one Wisk in VG1 and within SC2. create one Disk in VG2
- D. Wthin SC1, create one vDisk in VG1 and one vDisk in VG2,
Answer: B
Explanation:
Volume Groups (VGs) are collections of vDisks that can be attached to VMs1. vDisks are virtual disks that reside on Storage Containers2. Storage Containers are logical entities that provide storage services with different compression options3.
To use post-process compression for the file server and inline compression for the database components, you need to create two vDisks on different Storage Containers with different compression options. Then you need to attach those vDisks to different VGs.

NEW QUESTION # 17
In a Nutanix cluster based on AHV, multiple Nutanix unified Storage services such as Volumes, Files and Objects are deployed. After performing an LCM inventory, MSP is listed as an update.
Which storage service requires MSP to be updated?
- A. Volumes
- B. Prism
- C. Files
- D. Objects
Answer: D
Explanation:
"Kubernetes is not correctly reporting its storage usage." The NCC checks run on the nodes in the cluster and may report storage usage differently based on how they are being executed. Additionally, the administrator notes that the Kubernetes pod reports that the usage is 55% used disk space, which is different than what the NCC checks report.
One possible cause of this discrepancy is that Kubernetes is not correctly reporting its storage usage. It is recommended that the administrator checks the Kubernetes storage configuration to ensure it is set up correctly and that Kubernetes is able to accurately report the storage usage. It may also be necessary to update or reinstall Kubernetes if there are any issues with the installation.
Nutanix Objects is a software-defined object storage solution that provides scalable and secure data storage for unstructured data1. MSP is responsible for routing requests from clients to Objects clusters and providing load balancing and high availability1. To update MSP, you need to perform an LCM inventory and select MSP from the software updates list1.

NEW QUESTION # 20
An administrator has received multiple trouble tickets from users who are unable to access a particular Distributed share.
While troubleshooting, the administrator observes that data located on FSVM 3 can be accessed, but the data located on FSVMs 1 and 2 is inaccessible. The administrator receives this message when attempting to access data on FSVMs 1 and 2:
Network object not found
Both FSVM 1 and 2 nodes successfully reply to pings, and the administrator is able to access data via the node IP.
What must the administrator check as a next step?
- A. Check if SM3v1 is enabled on FSVM node 1 and 2.
- B. Check if keberos_time_skew is logged on the client.
- C. Check if user permissions are configured correctly.
- D. Check if all DNS records are created on the DNS server.
Answer: D
Explanation:
According to Nutanix Support & Insights1, a distributed share is a type of SMB share that distributes the hosting of top-level directories across FSVMs. To access a distributed share, you need to use a DNS name that resolves to all FSVMs in the cluster.
If some DNS records are missing or incorrect, then some FSVMs may not be reachable by their DNS name, resulting in the network object not found error. This could explain why data located on FSVM 3 can be accessed, but data located on FSVMs 1 and 2 is inaccessible.
