After the initial configuration and upgrade of NCC, the administrator notices these critical alerts:
• IPMI 10.7.133.33 is using default password
• Host 10.7.133.25 is using default password
• CVM 10.7.133.31 is using default password
Which two initial cluster configuration tasks were missed during the deployment process? (Choose two.)
The alerts indicate that the IPMI, Host, and CVM are all using default passwords. Therefore, the necessary initial configuration tasks that were missed include changing the CVM password and changing the host password. These steps are crucial to ensure that these components are secured with custom passwords instead of default ones.
The two initial cluster configuration tasks that were missed during the deployment process are: B. BIOS password changes: The "IPMI 10.7.133.33 is using default password" alert indicates that the BIOS password, accessed through the IPMI interface, was not changed from its default setting. C. Host password changes: The "Host 10.7.133.25 is using default password" alert indicates that the password for accessing the host itself (likely SSH access) was not changed from its default. Why the other options are incorrect: A. CVM password changes: While changing the CVM password is a good security practice, it's not directly related to the alerts shown. These alerts are about the underlying host and BIOS access. D. Password policy changes: While implementing a strong password policy is important, the alerts suggest the default passwords were not changed at all, rather than being weak due to a policy.
