Nutanix Exam Nutanix AHV Virtualization & VM Management 3

Question 1

What is the primary use of a VM Template in Nutanix AHV?

Accepted Answer

Providing a pre-configured, reusable base image for rapid and consistent VM deployment

Answer

Monitoring VM performance metrics over time

Answer

Replicating VMs to a remote Nutanix cluster

Answer

Scheduling automated periodic VM backups

Question 2

What happens to VMs running on a Nutanix node when that node experiences a hardware failure?

Accepted Answer

The VMs on the failed node automatically restart on remaining healthy nodes using DSF data replicas

Answer

All VMs in the entire cluster stop until the failed node is repaired

Answer

VM data is lost and must be manually restored from a backup

Answer

The failed node's VMs remain unavailable until an administrator manually intervenes

Question 3

Which Nutanix product provides software-defined network microsegmentation to control traffic between VMs?

Accepted Answer

Nutanix Flow (Network Security)

Answer

Nutanix Volumes

Answer

Nutanix Files

Answer

Nutanix Move

Question 4

What is the primary operational benefit of enabling memory overcommit in AHV?

Accepted Answer

It allows more VMs to run on a host than the physical RAM would normally support

Answer

It accelerates VM performance by transparently compressing memory pages

Answer

It enables live migration of VMs with very large memory footprints

Answer

It reduces storage overhead for VM virtual disk images

Question 5

When using Nutanix Move to migrate a VM from VMware ESXi to AHV, how is the VM disk format handled?

Accepted Answer

Nutanix Move automatically converts VMDK and VHD disks to native Nutanix vDisk format during migration

Answer

The administrator must manually convert VMDK to vDisk format before starting migration

Answer

Only VHD disk format is supported; VMDK requires pre-conversion by a separate tool

Answer

VM disks must be re-created by reinstalling the OS from source media after migration

Question 6

What is the purpose of configuring vNUMA (virtual NUMA) for large virtual machines in AHV?

Accepted Answer

To improve large VM performance by exposing the physical NUMA topology to the guest OS

Answer

To enable live migration between geographically separate clusters

Answer

To configure automatic storage tiering for data inside the VM

Answer

To enforce network Quality of Service (QoS) policies on VM traffic

Question 7

Why is understanding a VM's power state important when managing resources in an AHV cluster?

Accepted Answer

It indicates whether computing resources are actively allocated to the VM and whether it is accessible to users

Answer

It controls the VM's automated backup and snapshot schedule

Answer

It determines the VM's storage replication factor in the DSF

Answer

It manages per-VM software licensing and compliance tracking
