Pass the Nutanix NCM-MCI NCP-MCI-6.10 Questions and answers with CertsForce

In Nutanix Protection Domain-based replication, both thesourceanddestinationstorage containersmust have the same Replication Factor (RF)to ensure consistent data protection and replication. This is a key requirement for the data’s protection and integrity.

From theNutanix ECAdocumentation:

“Replication and recovery require that the source and destination containers have the same RF setting (either RF2 or RF3). If the RF does not match, replication and recovery points will not be generated in the DR site.”

The other options:

A (NGT): NGT is not required for crash-consistent protection.

C (Windows updates): Updates are not directly relevant to replication consistency.

D (container name): Names can differ; what matters is the container’s RF setting.

Metro Availability requires that VMs always read data from their primary site to maintain optimal performance and prevent remote data access latency.

Option C (Migrate the VM to its primary site and set appropriate rules) is correct:

If a VMfails over to the secondary sitebut is still running in the primary site, it will read data remotely, causinghigh latency and performance issues.

The solution is tomigrate the VM back to the primary siteand configureDRS rulesorhost affinity settingsto prevent unwanted movement.

Option A is incorrect:

The command listsactive Metro Availability protection domainsbut doesnot resolvethe issue.

Option B is incorrect:

Must-affinity rules can help, but they should be configuredafter migrating the VM back to the primary site.

Option D is incorrect:

RunningNCC health checkswill onlydiagnose the issue, not resolve it.

TheBully VMs List (Option C)in Prism Central’sIntelligent OperationsidentifiesVMs consuming excessive CPU, memory, or storage, which negatively affects other VMs.

Option A (Inactive VMs List)is used foridentifying unused VMsbut does not detect performance issues.

Option B (Overprovisioned VMs List)helps identifyVMs with excessive allocated resources, but it does not focus on live performance impact.

Option D (Constrained VMs List)highlightsVMs suffering from resource contention, not those causing it.

The Nutanix Life Cycle Manager (LCM) is designed to manage and automate firmware and software upgrades across Nutanix clusters. However, firmware upgrades via LCM are not supported for single-node clusters. This limitation is documented in the ECA course as well as in LCM’s official release notes and guides.

From the Nutanix Enterprise Cloud Administration (ECA) course materials:

“LCM does not support performing firmware upgrades on single-node clusters. These clusters require manual upgrades, and LCM will not list any available firmware updates for them, regardless of the firmware revision state.”

The other options:

A is incorrect; single-node clusters don’t have this limitation specifically for “one-disk” firmware upgrades—it’s a complete limitation for all firmware tasks in LCM.

B is misleading; LCM is supported in general for Nutanix clusters, just not for firmware tasks in single-node clusters.

D is incorrect because lack of internet connectivity would typically show an error related to download or connectivity issues, not complete absence of firmware updates.

Themost efficient wayto allow team leads to manage aspecific set of VMsis bycreating a Project (Option C)in Prism Central and assigning the team leads to that Project.

Nutanix Projects allow administrators to control VM accessbased on groups and permissions, ensuring that users only manage VMs assigned to their project.

Option A (Role Mapping)applies more broadly to roles but does not restrict access to specific VM groups.

Option B (VPC Admin)is related to network segmentation, not VM access control.

Option D (Security Policies)are used for network and firewall rules, not VM access control.
