According to Nutanix Files SMB Share Default Permission1, a standard share is created with default permissions for three built-in groups: Administrators, Users, and Backup Operators. This may not be suitable for hosting user data that needs to be evenly distributed across users.

According to Nutanix Support & Insights2, a distributed share is a type of SMB share that allows you to distribute files across multiple file servers for better performance and scalability. This can help optimize the I/O performance within the current environment.

According to Nutanix File and NFS Mount Examples3, a quota policy is a way to limit the amount of space that a user or group can consume on a share. This can help enforce the 1 TB limit on the share and ensure that each user gets an equal amount of space.

According to Nutanix Cloud Platform to Deliver Strengthened Data Services for Unstructured and Structured Data1, “Nutanix Data Lens™ is a new unstructured data governance service that provides visibility into data usage and storage capacity across Nutanix Files deployments globally.” Therefore, the administrator can use Data Lens to run a report to understand cold, warm, and hot data across Files deployments.

According to the scenario, the administrator is preparing to migrate data from a legacy storage environment to a new Files scale-out file server in a way that meets the following requirements:

Number of home directories: 4000

Number of Departmental shares: 1

Everyone is permitted to access it

All users use the same Departmental share

The administrator deploys Files using the following configuration:

Number of FSVMs: 3

VCPU & RAM/FSVM: 4VCPU, 12GB

One Distributed share with SSR & ABE enabled for the Home Directories

One Standard share for the Departmental share

Based on this configuration, it appears that the project's requirements are satisfied. The configuration provides a Distributed share for the home directories, which is recommended when there is a large number of files or directories, and this will distribute the load across multiple FSVMs. Note that everyone is permitted to access it.

In addition, the configuration provides a Standard share for the Departmental share, and since all users use the same Departmental share, this will not create any performance issues. Therefore, the correct answer is B, 'Yes, the listed configuration elements satisfy the requirements'.

iscsiadm is a command-line tool that allows you to manage iSCSI connections and devices. The error message shown in the exhibit indicates that there is a problem with connecting to the iSCSI target at x.x.x.250.

Nutanix volume groups are collections of vDisks that can be exposed to virtual machines or physical hosts using iSCSI protocol. Nutanix volume groups have a whitelist feature that allows you to specify which clients can access them.

B. The administrator has a mistake when inputting the data services IP. This could cause the iscsiadm command to fail to discover or login to the iSCSI target at x.x.x.250. The administrator should verify that they have entered the correct data services IP for the Nutanix volume group.

D. The client’s IQN is no longer in the whitelist of the affected VG. This could cause the iSCSI target to reject or ignore the connection request from the client. The administrator should check that they have added or updated the client’s IQN in the whitelist of the Nutanix volume group.

Prism Central is a multi-cluster manager that provides a single, centralized management interface for Nutanix clusters running any hypervisor2. File Analytics (FA) is a service that enables you to monitor and analyze file activity on Nutanix Files clusters3. To deploy FA, you need to download the FA Virtual Appliance and import it into Prism Central3.

To deploy Files Analytics (FA), the deployment needs to be performed in Prism Central. When the administrator logs into the Prism management console using personal credentials, the administrator is not able to deploy the Virtual Appliance. Therefore, to resolve this issue, the administrator needs to perform the FA deployment using the Prism admin user account in Prism Central

Volume Groups (VGs) are collections of vDisks that can be attached to VMs1. vDisks are virtual disks that reside on Storage Containers2. Storage Containers are logical entities that provide storage services with different compression options3.

To use post-process compression for the file server and inline compression for the database components, you need to create two vDisks on different Storage Containers with different compression options. Then you need to attach those vDisks to different VGs.

To use Nutanix Volumes with Linux clients, you must install and configure an iSCSI initiator on each client.” Therefore, the administrator should ensure that the iSCSI service is started on the Linux client before discovering or connecting to the Volumes target.

To support a new RF3 container, the effective capacity of the Nutanix cluster must be at least three times the size of the data that needs to be stored on it3. This is because RF3 means that each data block is replicated three times across different nodes or blocks for fault tolerance3.

This is because if you have 4 TiB of effective capacity with RF2 (which means each data block is replicated twice), then you need 9 TiB of effective capacity with RF3 (which means each data block is replicated three times).

According to the Nutanix Unified Storage v6 documents at nutanix.com1, Files uses two types of networks: client-side and server-side2. The client-side network is used for SMB and NFS access to Files shares, while the server-side network is used for internal communication between FSVMs3. To change the client-side network, you need to create a new managed virtual network on Prism Element and assign it to your FSVMs4. This will allow you to change the IP addresses of your FSVMs without affecting their connectivity to each other.
