NEW QUESTION # 42
An Application team has provided an administrator the following high level requirements for infrastructure they require:
5 Application VMs
2 Database VMs
2 Web VMs
Which two pieces of information are needed, at a minimum, to effectively automate the scaling of the environment? (Choose two.)
- A. Steady state resource utilization
- B. If the application needs to be highly available
- C. SLA uptime of the application
- D. Expected resource utilization under load
Answer: A,D
Explanation:
To effectively automate the scaling of the environment, the administrator needs to know the steady state resource utilization and the expected resource utilization under load of the application, database, and web VMs. These two pieces of information will help the administrator to define the scaling policies, thresholds, and actions for the blueprint service that deploys the infrastructure. The administrator can use the Self-Service feature of Nutanix Multicloud Automation to create a blueprint service that can scale up or down based on the resource utilization metrics. The administrator can also use the Runbook feature to automate the scaling actions using scripts or APIs.
The other options are incorrect because:
* SLA uptime of the application: This is not a piece of information that is needed to automate the scaling of the environment. The SLA uptime of the application is a performance indicator that measures the availability and reliability of the application. The administrator can use the X-Play feature of Nutanix Multicloud Automation to create event-driven playbooks that can trigger actions based on alerts or schedules to ensure the SLA uptime of the application.
* If the application needs to be highly available: This is not a piece of information that is needed to automate the scaling of the environment. The high availability of the application is a design consideration that affects the architecture and configuration of the infrastructure and the application. The administrator can use the Projects feature of Nutanix Multicloud Automation to create projects that can define the availability domains, networks, and storage for the infrastructure and the application.

NEW QUESTION # 46
A customer is trying to deploy an application with Calm and receives this error for a Linux VM:
What is the cause of this error within the blueprint?
- A. Connection section has no network adapters selected for the Address box in Connection section.
- B. Connection Type has a protocol selected.
- C. Connection Type has no protocol selected.
- D. Connection section has a network adapter selected for the Address box in Connection section.
Answer: A
Explanation:
In the context of deploying an application with Calm, if a customer receives an error for a Linux VM, it could be due to the absence of network adapters selected for the Address box in the Connection section within the blueprint. This means that there is no specified network connection for the VM, leading to a failure in script execution.

NEW QUESTION # 47
An administrator has been tasked in auditing the company's Configuration Management Database (CMDB) and notices that there are several entries for VMS that were previously decommissioned.
Current VM Decommission Process:
Application owners delete the application from the Calm project.
Application owners submit a ticket to IT for:
Removal of the Domain object
DNS record removal
CMDB entry removal
What Blueprint activity should be used to automate the manual steps listed above?
Creation of Calm Tasks for each of the three steps added to Library and consumed inside of a post VM Delete Task.
- A. Creation of Calm Runbooks for each of the three steps &added to the library end consumed inside of Post VM Delete Task.
- B. Creation of Calm Runbooks for each of the three Steps to the Library and consumed inside of a post VM Task.
- C. Creation of Calm Runbooks for each of the three steps added as Post VM Delete Task.
- D. Creation of Calm Endpoint that includes all steps added 35 a Post VM Delete Task
Answer: A
Explanation:
Calm Runbooks are a way to automate workflows that span across multiple applications, services, or platforms. They can be used to perform actions such as provisioning, scaling, backup, restore, etc. Calm Runbooks can be added to the Library and reused in different Blueprints or Projects. A Post VM Delete Task is a special type of Task that is executed after a VM is deleted from a Blueprint. By creating Calm Runbooks for each of the manual steps required to decommission a VM, and adding them to the Library, the administrator can simplify the VM Decommission Process by consuming them inside of a Post VM Delete Task. This way, the application owners only need to delete the application from the Calm project, and the rest of the steps will be automated by the Runbooks. References:

An administrator manages a Nutanix cluster with 630 VMs, all of which are in production.
The Accounting department wants to be notified when any of their production VMs exceed 90% CPU usage or
90% memory usage. Their VMs are categorized as LOB:Accounting.
How should the administrator satisfy this request from the Accounting department?
- A. Direct the VM users to generate alerts within the affected VMs.
- B. Create an Alert with the Accounting category assigned.
- C. Create a dashboard in Prism Central with the CPU Usage.
- D. Create a category named Department with the value Accounting.
Answer: B
Explanation:
Alerts are a way of monitoring the health and performance of the Nutanix cluster and the VMs running on it.
Alerts can be triggered by various metrics, such as CPU usage, memory usage, disk space, network traffic, etc.
Alerts can also be configured to send notifications to the administrator or other recipients via email, Slack, PagerDuty, etc. To satisfy the request from the Accounting department, the administrator should create an Alert with the following settings:
* Trigger: CPU Usage (%) > 90 OR Memory Usage (%) > 90
* Scope: VM
* Category: LOB:Accounting
* Notification: Email to [email protected] This way, the Alert will only apply to the VMs that belong to the Accounting department, and will send an email notification to the Accounting department when any of their VMs exceed the specified thresholds.
