Updated on: 31-Mar-2026

An administrator of a Nutanix Enterprise Cloud has microsegmentation enabled and a firewall VM installed. The security team notifies the administrator that one of the VMs hosted in the environment has been exhibiting suspect network activity. The administrator wants to isolate the VM from the production network, but must still be able to access it to perform diagnostics.
What should the administrator do to meet the requirement?

  1. Disable the vNIC on the affected VM
  2. Quarantine the VM using the Forensic Method
  3. Create a firewall rule that blocks VM traffic but permits diagnostic access
  4. Create a security policy with a service chain directing that VMs traffic to the firewall VM

Answer(s): B

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.)

  1. Add more memory to the VMs.
  2. Reduce the number of vCPUs assigned to VMs.
  3. Replace high core count CPUs with high clock rate CPUs. (also can be but is physical invas)
  4. Reduce the number of VMs on the hosts.

Answer(s): B,D

An administrator is supporting a business critical environment and deploys metro availability to achieve a zero data loss configuration. The two clusters are connected by a 1GbE connection. A new workload is going to be deployed to this cluster. This workload requires a sustained 150MB/S of write throughput and 20MB/s of read throughput.
Which change must be made to deploy the workload successfully on this cluster?

  1. The bandwidth must be increased to support this workload.
  2. The workload must be configured to read at greater than 12.5MB/S.
  3. The replication frequency must be less than 60 minutes.
  4. Zero data loss nearsync must be used to support this workload.

Answer(s): A



A systems administrator needs to add more VMs to their Nutanix cluster.
Which two actions should the administrator perform to determine if the current cluster can accommodate the new VMs? (Choose two.)

  1. Perform an Inventory with Life Cycle Management.
  2. Determine utilization with Cluster Runway.
  3. Enable Deduplication and Erasure Coding.
  4. Utilize Optimize Resources for VM efficiency.

Answer(s): B,D

Explanation:



A guest VM is reported to have poor storage performance. It has an I/O profile of 80% read. 20% write, and the HDDs form more than 50% of the read source.
What should an administrator do to resolve this issue?

  1. Increase SSD capacity
  2. Increase the OPLOG
  3. Increase the write cache
  4. Use HDDs with higher RPM

Answer(s): A

the correct answer to q8 is b. explanation since the mule app has a dependency, it is necessary to include project modules and dependencies to make sure the app will run successfully on the runtime on any other machine. source code of the component that the mule app is dependent of does not need to be included in the exported jar file, because the source code is not being used while executing an app. compiled code is being used instead.
