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

VM templates provide a standardized master image from which multiple identically configured VMs can be deployed quickly, ensuring consistency across deployments.

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

Because the DSF replicates VM data across multiple nodes, VMs on a failed node can automatically restart on surviving nodes with no data loss.

Question 3

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

Accepted Answer

Nutanix Flow (Network Security)

Answer

Nutanix Flow provides granular microsegmentation policies that control VM-to-VM network traffic based on application tiers and security rules defined in Prism Central.

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

Memory overcommit increases VM density by allowing the hypervisor to schedule physical RAM among more VMs than could fit if each VM's maximum allocation were fully reserved.

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

Nutanix Move handles disk format conversion automatically as part of its migration pipeline, converting VMDK or VHD to native Nutanix vDisk format without administrator intervention.
