Nutanix NCP-MCI Exam Dumps

For optimal Disaster Recovery performance, new nodes must match or exceed the storage performance of existing nodes.

Option A (New node must have at least 2 SSDs) is correct:

Since the G7 nodes have two SSDs, replacing G5 nodes with at least 2 SSDs ensures consistent SSD cache and performance.

Option B is incorrect:

G7 or G8 nodes may help, but storage performance is more critical for DR.

Option C is incorrect:

CPU core count does not impact DR storage performance as much as SSD capacity.

Option D is incorrect:

Hybrid nodes are already in use, but SSDs must match for performance balance.

In a scale-out Prism Central deployment, using an FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name) enables load balancing across multiple Prism Central instances.

Option A (Load balancing) is correct:

When an FQDN is used, Nutanix automatically distributes traffic between multiple Prism Central nodes, improving performance.

Option B (Resiliency) is incorrect:

Resiliency is achieved through cluster redundancy, not by using an FQDN.

Option C (Segmentation) is incorrect:

Segmentation relates to network isolation rather than FQDN-based load balancing.

Option D (SSL Certificate) is incorrect:

SSL certificates can be applied to both FQDN and Virtual IP configurations.

Snapshots that are part of an active recovery operation cannot be deleted until the process is completed or manually canceled.

Option A (Active recovery in progress) is correct:

Nutanix does not allow deletion of snapshots if they are being used in an ongoing recovery process.

The administrator should verify whether the snapshot is currently part of a Protection Domain or Disaster Recovery (DR) plan.

Option B (Ransomware encryption) is incorrect:

Nutanix snapshots are immutable by default and cannot be encrypted by external threats.

Option C (Approval policy denial) is incorrect:

Snapshot deletions do not require manual approval, unless controlled by an external workflow system.

Option D (Snapshot corruption) is incorrect:

Nutanix uses checksums to prevent corruption, so snapshots cannot be silently damaged.

Syslog severity levels follow a standard numerical system, where lower numbers indicate higher severity.

Option B (Severity Level 2) is correct:

Level 2 = CRITICAL Used for serious conditions requiring immediate attention.

Audit logs often generate Critical logs related to security, access violations, or major failures.

Options A (0), C (5), and D (7) are incorrect:

0 = Emergency (Too severe, only used for full system failures).

5 = Notice (Not critical, used for general system events).

7 = Debug (Not relevant for critical logs).
