NEW QUESTION # 77
Prism Central reporting indicates that there are multiple memory-constrained VMs in multiple clusters. The target VMs have Memory Hot Add enabled.
Using X-Play, in what order should the Playbook actions be added to ensure the VMs are properly remediated?
- A. Take a VM Snapshot, Power Off VM, VM Add Memory, Resolve Alert, Power on VM
- B. Power off VM, Take a VM Snapshot, VM add Memory, Resolve Alert
- C. VM add Memory, Take a VM Snapshot, Resolve Alert
- D. Take a VM Snapshot, VM add Memory, Resolve Alert
Answer: D
Explanation:
To ensure the VMs are properly remediated, the Playbook actions should be added in the following order:
Take a VM Snapshot, VM add Memory, Resolve Alert. This is because Memory Hot Add allows the administrator to increase the memory allocation of a running VM without powering it off. Taking a VM snapshot before adding memory provides a backup point in case of any issues. Resolving the alert after adding memory clears the notification and updates the status of the VM. Powering off the VM is not necessary and may cause downtime or disruption to the applications running on the VM.

Which action should an administrator use to request a static IP address from an IPAM solution?
- A. Guest Customization
- B. Profile
- C. Pre-create
- D. Create
Answer: C
Explanation:
When integrating with an IP Address Management (IPAM) solution within Nutanix Calm, an administrator would use a 'Pre-create' task to request a static IP address. This task is performed before the actual creation of the VM, ensuring that the IP address is allocated and can beassigned during the VM's creation process.
Profiles (A) are used to define deployment environments, Guest Customization (C) is used for configuring the OS settings, and Create (D) is typically the task for provisioning the actual VM, not for requesting an IP.

NEW QUESTION # 90
An application deployment failed, and a correction was implemented.
What is the most optimal way to correct the failed deployment?
- A. Redeploy the application.
- B. Rewrite blueprint to have error handling.
- C. Retry the failed deployment
- D. Create a Run book to retry.
Answer: C
Explanation:
The most optimal way to correct the failed deployment is to retry the failed deployment. This option allows the administrator to resume the deployment from the point of failure, without having to redeploy the entire application or create a new runbook. Retrying the failed deployment also preserves the application state and configuration, and avoids creating duplicate resources or conflicts.
Redeploying the application is not the best option, because it requires the administrator to delete the existing application and launch a new one from scratch. This option wastes time and resources, and may result in data loss or inconsistency.
Creating a runbook to retry is also not the best option, because it requires the administrator to write a custom script or workflow to handle the retry logic. This option adds complexity and overhead to the automation process, and may not be compatible with the original blueprint or application.
Rewriting the blueprint to have error handling is a valid option, but it is not the most optimal one. This option requires the administrator to modify the blueprint code and add logic to handle different types of errors and exceptions. This option improves the robustness and reliability of the blueprint, but it does not correct the failed deployment itself. The administrator still has to redeploy the application or retry the failed deployment after rewriting the blueprint.

NEW QUESTION # 91
An administrator has been tasked with automating the optimization of plays with the autopilot feature.
What must the administrator be aware of before configuring autopilot?
- A. Autopilot feature only applies to metric-based alerts as triggers.
- B. Autopilot only applies to new playbooks.
- C. Autopilot will only attempt to apply the playbook a single time
- D. Autopilot never waits for approvals.
Answer: D
Explanation:
Autopilot is a feature of Nutanix Calm that allows the administrator to automate the execution of playbooks based on predefined conditions or triggers. Autopilot can optimizethe performance, availability, and cost of applications by applying the appropriate actions in response to events or metrics. Before configuring autopilot, the administrator must be aware of the following limitations12:
* Autopilot never waits for approvals. This means that the administrator must ensure that the playbooks
* are tested and verified before enabling autopilot. Autopilot will execute the playbooks without any human intervention or confirmation.
* Autopilot feature only applies to metric-based alerts as triggers. This means that the administrator can only use metrics from the Nutanix Prism Central or the Nutanix Karbon clusters as the conditions for triggering the playbooks. Autopilot does not support other types of triggers such as schedules, webhooks, or manual triggers.

NEW QUESTION # 94
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?
- A. 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.
- B. 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.
- C. Create an alert for all VMs, create a Playbook with this alert as the trigger > reduce 1 CPU > send an email as the action.
- D. Create an alert for all VMs, create a Playbook with this alert as the trigger and send an email as the action.
Answer: A
Explanation:
To create an alert for idle VMs, the administrator needs to specify the following parameters:
* Scope: Select the category value Environment:Production to filter the VMs that are affected by the alert.
* Metric: Select CPU Usage (%) as the metric to monitor the VMs' CPU utilization.
* Condition: Select Less Than as the operator and enter 5 as the threshold value to define the idle state.
* Duration: Enter 5 as the duration value and select Minutes as the unit to set the time period for the idle state.
To create a Playbook with the alert as the trigger, the administrator needs to do the following steps:
* Name: Enter a descriptive name for the Playbook, such as Idle VM Alert.
* Trigger: Select Alert as the trigger type and choose the alert that was created for idle VMs.
* Action: Select Email as the action type and enter the recipient email address, subject, and message for the notification.
The Playbook will run whenever the alert is triggered and send an email to the administrator informing them about the idle VMs.
