Nutanix Certified Master - Multicloud Infrastructure (NCM-MCI) Sample Questions:

1. Task 11
Running NCC on a cluster prior to an upgrade results in the following output FAIL: CVM System Partition /home usage at 93% (greater than threshold, 90%) Identify the CVM with the issue, remove the fil causing the storage bloat, and check the health again by running the individual disk usage health check only on the problematic CVM do not run NCC health check Note: Make sure only the individual health check is executed from the affected node

2. Use Prism Element for this question.
The Application team has a 3 tier application (App Server, Web Server, and Database Server) that is mission critical and requires as close to 0 RPO and RTO as possible with their current license level.
The organization has 2 clusters, with one cluster (Cluster 1) being production and the other cluster (Cluster 2) being remote/DR. Cluster 2 should be able to fail back to Cluster 1.
The connectivity between the two sites is >5ms and replication traffic should not use more than 10Mbps of bandwidth. The Application team requests a plan that includes the ability to go back 2 days locally, and 2 days remotely.
The team also requests that all 3 VMs be treated as a single group and backed up collectively in a snapshot.
The three VMs are:
* Web-Prod
* App-Prod
* DB-Prod
Use Task3 as part of the name for any objects created for this task.
Note: VMs do NOT need to be powered on. You will need to use the 172.30.0.x IP addresses when configuring DR.

3. The DB team is requesting an SQL database instance and has requested it be configured for best performance.
This VM has been migrated from a 3 tier solution into Nutanix.
The database VM hosts 4 databases, each set to a 20 GB limit. Logs are expected to not grow beyond 20 GB and should be limited to within 25% to avoid runaway processes. Do not configure more storage than is needed.
The VM that has been migrated is identified as sql3532. Once the VM has been properly reconfigured, the DBA team will reconfigure the OS and database.
The VM should be configured as per KB-3532.
While this VM is being tested, make sure it is the first VM to power up in the event the node it is on goes down.
To maximize performance, ensure as much of the VM as possible will be kept on SSD drives.
Note: The VM does not need to be powered on. The VM should remain on the default container and should not be configured with a volume group. No network is required at this time.

4. An administrator needs to configure a new write-intensive MS-SQL VM on Cluster 1.
VM specifications:
* vCPU: 12
* vRAM: 128GB
* Storage: 100 GB OS, 750 GB Data
Create the VM and any objects needed in the current environment to meet requirements, maximizing performance for the production environment. Include NEWSQL in the name of any new objects.
Production environment:
* 4 nodes
* Each node has two 8-core CPUs
* Each node has 1024 GB RAM
* Storage: 4 × 7.16 TB SSD Disks and 8 × 8 TB HDD disks
Make sure the VM is configured for maximum performance for the production environment.
Note: Network configuration is not required at this time. Do not power on the VM.
