Nutanix NCP-MCA Exam Questions

Question 6 of 75

An administrator wants to be alerted when production VMs become idle. The VMs will be determined to be idle when CPU usage is lower than 5% for more than 5 minutes. All affected VMs are categorized as Environment:Production, since they have Flow microsegmentation rules.
What should the administrator do to satisfy this requirement?

Create an alert for all VMs, create a Playbook with this alert as the trigger and send an email as the action.

Create an alert for VMs in the correct category, create a Playbook with this alert as the trigger > take a snapshot > send an email as the action.

Create an alert for all VMs, create a Playbook with this alert as the trigger > reduce 1 CPU > send an email as the action.

Create an alert for VMs in the correct category, create a Playbook with this alert as the trigger and send an email as the action.

Correct Answer: D

To satisfy the requirement, the administrator should create an alert specifically for VMs in the Environment:Production category, which will ensure that only the relevant VMs are monitored. Creating a Playbook with this alert as the trigger and sending an email as the action ensures that the administrator is alerted when the production VMs become idle. This method is efficient and directly targets the specified VMs without unnecessary actions or broader scope.

Question 7 of 75

A developer has a Development Blueprint that performs the following high level items:
Creates a Windows and Ubuntu Server.

Installs IIS on Windows -

Installs MySQL on Ubuntu -
As part of Development, there is a need for an Operator to restart IIS Services for troubleshooting purposes.
How should the developer add this functionality to the Blueprint?

Add an Execute Task in the Restart Action of the Application Profile.

Add an Execute Task in the Restart Action of the Windows/IIS Service.

Add a Delay Task in the Restart Action of the Windows/IIS Service.

Create an Endpoint for the IIS server and a Runbook that restarts the service.

Correct Answer: B

To restart the IIS Services on the Windows Server for troubleshooting purposes, the appropriate action should be directly associated with the Windows/IIS Service. Adding an Execute Task in the Restart Action of the Windows/IIS Service ensures that the specific service can be restarted as needed. This is the correct approach because it targets the specific service rather than the overall application profile.

Question 8 of 75

An administrator receives the following error while running a script through Calm on VM:
Exam NCP-MCA: Question 8 - Image 1

Which two conditions could cause this issue? (Choose two.)

The VM port is not allowed by the firewall.

The credentials have insufficient permissions.

The VM is still in the boot process.

There is an error in the script.

Correct Answer: A, C

Connection refused errors generally occur due to network issues. One common cause is when the VM port is blocked by a firewall, preventing the connection. Another possible cause is when the VM is still in the process of booting up and is not yet ready to accept connections. Therefore, the conditions that could cause this issue are the VM port not being allowed by the firewall and the VM still being in the boot process.

Question 9 of 75

When creating a blueprint, which Pre-create and Post-delete tasks are valid?

Create, Start, Stop, Delete

Execute, Set variable, HTTP, Delay

Create, Start, Stop, Soft Delete

Execute, Set variable, API, Delay

Correct Answer: B

Execute, Set variable, HTTP, and Delay are tasks that can be performed during the pre-create and post-delete stages of creating a blueprint. These tasks are designed to allow for custom actions and automation within those stages, making them the valid options.

Question 10 of 75

Which two groups of operations can a Prism Admin or Super Admin role perform? (Choose two.)

Create, read, automate, or delete an action template in the action gallery

Create, read, update, or delete an action template in the action gallery

Create, read, automate, delete, enable, and run playbooks

Create, read, update, delete, enable, and run playbooks

Correct Answer: B, D

A Prism Admin or Super Admin role can perform operations related to creating, reading, updating, deleting, enabling, and running playbooks as well as action templates in the action gallery. Therefore, the correct groups of operations are the ones that include these activities without the 'automate' operation, which is not typically associated with these roles.
