NEW QUESTION # 37
An administrator manages two Nutanix clusters: Cluster01 and Cluster02 and has needs to automate similar workload types using these images that are located on Cluster01:
ImageA
ImageB
ImageC
The administrator needs to deploy ImageA and ImageC within the Cluster02 environment.
How this can be achieved?

• A. All images are available to all clusters managed by a single Prism Central.
• B. Utilize Prism Central image placement policies.
• C. Configure a Protection Domain to replicate images.
• D. Clone the images from the Cluster01 to Cluster02.

Answer: C

Explanation:
Protection Domains are a Nutanix feature that allows you to replicate data across clusters or to a remote site.
You can use Protection Domains to replicate images from one cluster to another, and then use them for workload automation. This is one of the methods documented in the Nutanix Solutions Portal for Citrix MCS on Nutanix AHV1. Alternatively, you can also use Prism Central to manage multiple clusters and use Protection Policies to replicate images across clusters2. However, this option is not listed in the question, so the best answer is A. References:

NEW QUESTION # 38
Which capability is provided to a Project when Self-Service is enabled?

• A. Modifying user roles and access permissions in Prism Central
• B. Creating and managing global image repositories across clusters
• C. Changing cluster-wide network configurations for all projects
• D. Deploying blueprints and managing associated virtual machines

Answer: D

Explanation:
AProjectin Nutanix Self-Service (formerly Calm) acts as a logical container that defines the scope of operations for a group of users.
* Primary Capability:The core purpose of a Project, once Self-Service is enabled, is to allow the users assigned to that project (Consumers, Developers, Operators) todeploy Blueprints(launch applications) andmanage the lifecyclesof the resulting workloads (VMs/Applications).
* Scope:The Project restricts these users to specific Infrastructure (Clusters/VPCs), Environments, and Quotas defined by the administrator.
* Exclusions:
* Changing cluster-wide networking (A) and modifying global user roles (D) arePrism Admin tasks, not capabilities granted to a Self-Service Project.
* Managing global image repositories (B) is a Prism Central infrastructure task; Projectsconsume images but do not manage the global repository itself.

NEW QUESTION # 39
A company is expanding its workforce with 500 new employees and an administrator needs to provide each employee with their own VDI desktop. The environment is monitored by a third-party tool that notifies the administrator when the VDI solution is about to run out of capacity. This gives the administrator time to create more resources and add it to the VDI solution.
What should the administrator use when creating a playbook to automate this?

• A. An action based on Email
• B. A trigger based on Alert
• C. An action based on Time
• D. A trigger based on Webhook

Answer: D

Explanation:
To automate actions based on a signal from a third-party monitoring tool, the administrator should use the Webhook Trigger in Nutanix Intelligent Operations (X-Play).
* Webhook Trigger:The administrator creates a playbook that starts with a Webhook Trigger. This generates a unique URL.
* Integration:The third-party tool is configured to send an HTTP POST request (the notification) to this unique URL when the "low capacity" threshold is reached.
* Automation:Receiving this signal automatically triggers the playbook to execute the expansion tasks (e.
g., calling APIs to provision more VDI nodes or expand storage), removing the manual step.
While "Alert" (Option D) is used for native Nutanix alerts, the "Webhook" is the designated mechanism for receiving external events.

NEW QUESTION # 40
A business uses a database software that is licensed by physical CPU socket. Only the first two hosts of Cluster 47 and Cluster 48 are licensed for the software.
The business has chosen Self-Service to automate the deployment of database server VMs. The blueprint developer needs to ensure that database VMs are only hosted on the licensed hosts.
How can the administrator complete this task in Self-Service?

• A. 1. Create a category for database VMs and assign another category to the appropriate Hosts.
  2. Create an Affinity Policy.
  3. Use Blueprints to assign the VM categories.
• B. Within the Project, use a policy to assign the category to the environment.
• C. Within the Environment, select the Categories to apply to the database server VMs.
• D. 1. Create a category for VMs and assign another category to the appropriate Hosts.
  2. Create a Playbook to migrate the VMs to the required Hosts using these categories.

Answer: A

Explanation:
The requirement to restrict VMs to specific physical hosts for licensing purposes is addressed usingVM-Host Affinity Policiesin Nutanix AHV, which relies onCategories. The complete configuration workflow is:
* Categorization (Step 1):The administrator must create specific categories to tag the entities. One category (e.g., License:Oracle) is assigned to the specificHosts(the licensed ones). Another category (e.
g., App:Database) is created for theVMs.
* Affinity Policy (Step 2):An Affinity Policy is created in Prism Central that strictly enforces that any VM with the App:Database category must run on hosts with the License:Oracle category.
* Blueprint Assignment (Step 3):In the Self-Service Blueprint, the administrator configures the VM service to automatically apply the App:Database category upon creation.
* When the blueprint is deployed, the VM is created with the category, and the AHV scheduler immediately respects the Affinity Policy, ensuring the VM only starts on the licensed hosts.
Options A and C are incomplete (Categories alone do not enforce placement), and Option B (Playbook migration) is a reactive "fix" rather than a proactive placement constraint, which risks non-compliance at startup.

NEW QUESTION # 41
Which two statements are true regarding the Nutanix public Github repository? (Choose two.)

• A. Nutanix provides documented processes to seed scripts from any source repository.
• B. Nutanix provides a documented process to seed Github based scripts into the Calm Task Library.
• C. Calm's public repository contains Nutanix-vetted custom scripts created and published by community members.
• D. Nutanix publishes official vetted blueprints and tasks to Nutanix's public Github Calm repository.

Answer: B,D

Explanation:
Nutanix provides a documented process to seed Github based scripts into the Calm Task Library, which allows users to import and use custom tasks from the Nutanix public Github repository or any other Github repository. This process is described in the Nutanix Calm DSL User Guide and the Nutanix Calm DSL Tutorial.
Nutanix also publishes official vetted blueprints and tasks to Nutanix's public Github Calm repository, which is located at https://github.com/nutanix/blueprints. These blueprints and tasks are created and maintained by Nutanix engineers and can be used as reference or templates for building Calm applications. Some examples of these blueprints and tasks are:
Kubernetes Cluster: A blueprint that deploys a Kubernetes cluster on Nutanix AHV using Calm.
MySQL HA: A blueprint that deploys a MySQL cluster with high availability on Nutanix AHV using Calm.
Windows Server: A blueprint that deploys a Windows Server 2019 VM on Nutanix AHV using Calm.
[Install Python]: A task that installs Python on a Linux VM using Calm.
Calm's public repository does not contain Nutanix-vetted custom scripts created and published by community members. These scripts are hosted in a separate repository called [Automation], which is a centralized repo for community driven Nutanix automation. These scripts are not officially supported or endorsed by Nutanix and may not be compatible with the latest versions of Calm or Nutanix products.
Nutanix does not provide documented processes to seed scripts from any source repository. Users can only import scripts from Github repositories using the Calm Task Library. Other source repositories are not supported by Calm.

NEW QUESTION # 42
An administrator has noticed an increasing number of inactive VMS being left powered on within the environment over the course of OS migrations, using Playbooks, which two Actions should the administrator use to start documenting which VMS are marked as inactive to take future Automated actions on? (Choose two.)

• A. Send an Email with the Source Entity Name Parameter in the body.
• B. Trigger Playbook on Alert with the Inactive VM Alert Policy.
• C. Trigger Playbook on Powered Off VM for all applicable VMS.
• D. Assign the VMS to an Inactive:VM Category as an Action.

Answer: B,D

Explanation:
The administrator should assign the VMs to an Inactive:VM category as an action and trigger a playbook on alert with the Inactive VM alert policy. By doing this, they can create a custom category to group and identify the inactive VMs and use a custom alert policy to trigger a playbook that can perform automated actions on them, such as powering them off, deleting them, or sending notifications. This is based on the general practices in managing VMs in a multicloud environment, as well as the specific features and requirements of Nutanix X-Play and Nutanix Calm. Reference:

NEW QUESTION # 43
Which method will result in unique names per VM when scaling out a Service in a Calm Blueprint?

• A. Guest OS customization using sysprep contains <ComputerName>@@{name}@@</ComputerName>.
• B. Set the VM Name field to allow user edits at launch so the user can enter a custom value at launch.
• C. Call an external Python eScript that uses an IPAM API to register the VM name in DNS.
• D. Service VM Name field contains the macro variable @@{calm_array_index}@@.

Answer: D

Explanation:
The correct method to result in unique names per VM when scaling out a Service in a Calm Blueprint is to use the macro variable @@{calm_array_index}@@ in the Service VM Name field (Option B). This variable will append a unique index number to each VM name based on the scale-out count. For example, if the Service VM Name is MyAppVM-@@{calm_array_index}@@ and the scale-out count is 3, the resulting VM names will be MyAppVM-0, MyAppVM-1, and MyAppVM-2. Option A is incorrect because the <ComputerName> tag in the sysprep file will only affect the hostname of the guest OS, not the VM name in the cloud provider. Option C is incorrect because calling an external Python eScript to register the VM name in DNS will not change the VM name in the cloud provider either. Option D is incorrect because setting the VM Name field to allow user edits at launch will require manual input from the user for each VM, which is not scalable or automated.

NEW QUESTION # 44
Refer to the exhibit.

Saving the Calm Blueprint gives the validation error for VMware Blueprints shown in the exhibit.
What could be the cause of the error?

• A. Number of Template vCPU components should be equal to the number of pCPU configured.
• B. Number of Template VMXNET3 components should be equal to the number of Virtual e1000 adapters configured.
• C. Number of Template NICs components should be equal to the number of Network Settings configured.
• D. Number of Template devices components should be equal to the number of Devices configured.

Answer: C

Explanation:
The error message in the exhibit indicates a mismatch between the number of network settings and the number of NICs on the VM. This is a common validation error when saving Calm Blueprints for VMware, where it is essential to ensure that these configurations match to avoid issues with VM deployment and operation1. Reference: 1: Nutanix NCP-MCA Certification Exam Sample Questions2

NEW QUESTION # 45
A Consumer has been tasked with deleting a running Calm managed application. How can the Consumer ensure all underlying VMS are deleted with the removal of the application?

• A. From the Marketplace page, select the checkbox next to the application and select Delete from the actions menu.
• B. From the Applications page, select the checkbox next to the application and select Delete from the action's menu.
• C. Go to the Manage tab of the application and select the Delete action.
• D. Go to the Manage tab of the application and select the Hard Delete action.

Answer: D

Explanation:
The Consumer can ensure all underlying VMs are deleted with the removal of the application by going to the Manage tab of the application and selecting the Hard Delete action. This option will delete the application and all its associated resources from the Nutanix platform, without leaving any traces or backups. This option is useful when the application is no longer needed or has to be removed for compliance reasons.
From the Applications page, selecting the checkbox next to the application and selecting Delete from the action's menu will not delete all underlying VMs. This option will only delete the application from the Calm UI, but not from the Nutanix platform. The application and its resources will still be available in the Nutanix cluster and can be restored from the Calm UI using the Restore action.
From the Marketplace page, selecting the checkbox next to the application and selecting Delete from the actions menu will not delete the application or its underlying VMs. This option will only delete the application from the Marketplace, but not from the Calm UI or the Nutanix platform. The application and its resources will still be available in the Calm UI and the Nutanix cluster.
Going to the Manage tab of the application and selecting the Delete action will also not delete all underlying VMs. This option will only delete the application from the Calm UI, but not from the Nutanix platform. The application and its resources will still be available in the Nutanix cluster and can be restored from the Calm UI using the Restore action.

NEW QUESTION # 46
An administrator had provided Linux VM console access to the OS Team. However, the team is unable to access one of the newly-created Linux VMs.
How can the administrator resolve this issue?

• A. Provide Prism Admin access to the OS Team Active Directory Group.
• B. Assign new VMs to a category and provide category access to the OS Team.
• C. Create a local user in Linux OS and provide access to the OS Team.
• D. Create a role for the OS Team Active Directory Group and add the VMs to it.

Answer: B

Explanation:
Categories are a way of organizing and managing resources in Nutanix Calm. Categories can be used to define access policies, filter resources, and group applications. By assigning new VMs to a category, the administrator can grant access to the OS Team based on their Active Directory Group membership. The OS Team can then use the web SSH console to access the Linux VMs from the Calm UI.

NEW QUESTION # 47
What is the building block of a Blueprint?

• A. Single-VM Blueprint
• B. Runbook
• C. Multi-VM Blueprint
• D. Service

Answer: D

Explanation:
Nutanix Self-Service (formerly Calm) uses Services, app profiles, packages, substrates, and actions as the building blocks for a blueprint to define applications.
AServiceis the core logical entity within a blueprint. An application is made up of multiple components (or services) working together, such as a Database Service and a Web Server Service. Each service defines the specific infrastructure (VM), software packages, and operations required for that component of the application.

NEW QUESTION # 48
An administrator need to remove an application from Self-Service (formerly Calm). However, the VM needs to the kept up and running in the environment as it hosts important data.
How can the administrator accomplish this tasks in the simplest way?

• A. Go to the Manage tab of the application and select the Delete action.
• B. Create a snapshots of the VMs and re-deploy it with a new name.
• C. Go to the Manage tab of the application and select the Delete action.
• D. Export the VM and then delete the application and re-deploy the VM.

Answer: A

Explanation:
To remove an application from Self-Service (formerly Calm) while keeping the VM up and running, the administrator should:
* Go to the Manage tab of the application in Self-Service.
* Select the Delete action.
By doing this, the application will be removed from the management of Self-Service, but the VM will remain running in the environment.

NEW QUESTION # 49
Refer to the exhibit.

A subset of Linux VMs are required to be gracefully shutdown each evening. A Playbook is created to shutdown the targeted VMs, however the error message shown in the exhibit is displayed when the Playbook is executed.
What is causing the error message?

• A. The VM is missing Nutanix Guest Tools.
• B. User executing the Playbook does not have Admin privileges.
• C. The VM is already powered off.
• D. The SSH Service is not running on the VMs.

Answer: B

NEW QUESTION # 50
An Application team has provided an administrator the following high level requirements for infrastructure they require:
5 Application VMs
2 Database VMs
2 Web VMs
Which two pieces of information are needed, at a minimum, to effectively automate the scaling of the environment? (Choose two.)

• A. Expected resource utilization under load
• B. If the application needs to be highly available
• C. Steady state resource utilization
• D. SLA uptime of the application

Answer: A,C

Explanation:
To effectively automate the scaling of the environment, the administrator needs to know the steady state resource utilization and the expected resource utilization under load of the application, database, and web VMs. These two pieces of information will help the administrator to define the scaling policies, thresholds, and actions for the blueprint service that deploys the infrastructure. The administrator can use the Self-Service feature of Nutanix Multicloud Automation to create a blueprint service that can scale up or down based on the resource utilization metrics. The administrator can also use the Runbook feature to automate the scaling actions using scripts or APIs.
The other options are incorrect because:
* SLA uptime of the application: This is not a piece of information that is needed to automate the scaling of the environment. The SLA uptime of the application is a performance indicator that measures the availability and reliability of the application. The administrator can use the X-Play feature of Nutanix Multicloud Automation to create event-driven playbooks that can trigger actions based on alerts or schedules to ensure the SLA uptime of the application.
* If the application needs to be highly available: This is not a piece of information that is needed to automate the scaling of the environment. The high availability of the application is a design consideration that affects the architecture and configuration of the infrastructure and the application. The administrator can use the Projects feature of Nutanix Multicloud Automation to create projects that can define the availability domains, networks, and storage for the infrastructure and the application.

NEW QUESTION # 51
An administrator at a busy software development company is looking to roll out Calm for automation and estimates they will be creating 200 Projects, 500 Runbooks, 1500 Blueprints and automating the deployment of 7500 VMs for their development teams.
What size of Prism Central VM(s) is recommended to host the Calm environment?

• A. 3 nodes Large - 10vCPU and 52GB Memory per node.
• B. 1 node Large - 10vCPU and 52GB Memory per node.
• C. 1 node Small - 6vCPU and 30GB Memory per node.
• D. 3 nodes Small - 6vCPU and 30GB Memory per node.

Answer: A

Explanation:
According to the Nutanix Multicloud Automation Administration (NMCAA) course, the recommended Prism Central VM size depends on the number of VMs that are managed by Calm and the number of concurrent users. For a large-scale environment with more than 5000 VMs and more than 100 concurrent users, the recommended size is 3 nodes Large - 10vCPU and 52GB Memory per node1. This size provides enough resources for the Prism Central cluster to handle the workload and performance requirements of Calm.

NEW QUESTION # 52
Which pre-configuration item is required to use Nutanix as the provider account?

• A. VMware Template
• B. OVA Image
• C. AHV Image
• D. VHD Image

Answer: C

Explanation:
When configuring aNutanix(AHV) provider account within Self-Service (formerly Calm) to deploy infrastructure, the fundamental artifact required for VM provisioning is anAHV Image.
* AHV Image:Nutanix AHV uses theImage Serviceto manage disk images (typically in QCOW2 or ISO format) that serve as the base for virtual machines. Before a Blueprint can be designed or deployed on a Nutanix account, a validDisk Imagemust be uploaded to the Prism Central Image Service. This image is then referenced in the Blueprint's VM configuration (Substrate) as the "Disk Image" source.
* Contrast with other Providers:
* VMware Template (Option B):This is the required artifact for theVMware vSphereprovider.
* VHD (Option A):Typically associated with Hyper-V or Azure.
* OVA (Option C):An export format, not a direct provisioning source for the Nutanix provider within Self-Service.
Therefore, ensuring anAHV Imageexists and is available on the cluster is the specific pre-configuration requirement for the Nutanix provider.

NEW QUESTION # 53
An administrator is notified of changes made to VMs on an AHV cluster and wants to verify the changes inside of a Calm application.
Where should the administrator check for synchronized changes between Prism Central and Calm?

• A. On the Audit tab of the Calm application
• B. On the Prism Central Tasks page
• C. On the Overview tab of the Calm application
• D. On the Environments tab of the Calm project

Answer: A

Explanation:
The Audit tab of the Calm application shows the history of actions performed on the application, such as create, update, delete, launch, stop, etc. It also shows the status of the synchronization between Prism Central and Calm, which indicates if the changes made to the VMs on the AHV cluster are reflected in the Calm application. The administratorcan check the Audit tab to verify the changes and troubleshoot any issues with the synchronization. References:

NEW QUESTION # 54
Refer to the exhibit.

An administrator created the Playbook shown in the exhibit to allow for manual reduction of vCPU count on any selected VM within their environment. During a test run of the play on one of the VMs running in development, the administrator ran into an error that the Playbook cannot be completed against the selected VM.
Here are the details of the affected VM:
VM Name: VM2
vCPU: 4
RAM: 8 GB
OS: Windows 2016
Hypervisor: AHV
What caused this Playbook to fail?

• A. The VM needs to be powered off before vCPU can be reduced.
• B. This play cannot be executed against a VM on AHV.
• C. The play will cause the VM to go below the minimum vCPU.
• D. Reduction of vCPU cannot be done on a VM with a running snapshot.

Answer: D

Explanation:
The Playbook is designed to manually reduce the vCPU count on any selected VM within the environment. However, it failed during a test run on VM2 because there was a running snapshot of the VM. According to Nutanix Multicloud Automation (NCP-MCA) principles, you cannot reduce the vCPU count on a VM that has an active snapshot1. This is because the snapshot captures the state of the VM configuration and data, and reverting to a snapshot will restore both the guest OS and the virtual hardware2. Therefore, changing the vCPU count while a snapshot is running will cause inconsistency and error. The other options are incorrect because:
A . The Playbook can be executed against a VM on AHV, as long as there is no snapshot running3.
B . The VM does not need to be powered off before vCPU can be reduced, as this can be done using hot-plug CPU feature4.
D . The play will not cause the VM to go below the minimum vCPU, as the minimum number of vCPUs is set to 1 in the Playbook, and the VM has 4 vCPUs initially.

NEW QUESTION # 55
When a developer launches the created Blueprint within the Blueprint Editor, the application gets deployed correctly. However, when the Blueprint is launched via Marketplace, it gets a check login error.
What is causing this issue?

• A. The SSH key within the user's laptop is not valid.
• B. User is not authorized to launch Blueprints.
• C. Prism Central can't communicate with Active Directory.
• D. The credential in the Project Environment is invalid.

Answer: D

Explanation:
When a Blueprint is launched via Marketplace, it uses the credential that is configured in the Project Environment. If the credential is invalid, the Blueprint deployment will fail with a check login error. To fix this issue, the developer needs to verify and update the credential in the Project Environment and ensure that it has the required permissions to access the target infrastructure and applications. Reference: Nutanix Multicloud Automation Administration (NMCAA), page 29-30; [Nutanix Certified Professional - Multicloud Automation (NCP-MCA) Exam Blueprint Guide] (https://www.nutanix.com/content/dam/nutanix/resources/support/ncp-mca-ebg.pdf), section 3.1.

NEW QUESTION # 56


An administrator has run a multi-step Playbook. but sees the Failed status, as shown in the exhibit.
What could be causing the playbook to fail?

• A. PowerShell action has a timeout of 5 minutes.
• B. puppet action has a timeout of 5 minutes.
• C. VM action has a timeout of 5 minutes.
• D. IP Address SSH action has a timeout of 5 minutes.

Answer: D

Explanation:
The image shows a failed status for an SSH_VM_Task, which is manually triggered. Since the task involves SSH, it's likely that the IP Address SSH action has a timeout of 5 minutes, causing the playbook to fail if it cannot complete within this time frame. The IP Address SSH action is used to execute commands on a remote VM using SSH. It requires the IP address, username, password, and command to run as inputs. The timeout parameter specifies how long the action will wait for the command to finish before aborting. If the timeout is too short, the action may fail due to network latency, slow execution, or other factors. References:

Which Calm feature provides the ability for administrators to approve Single or Multi-VM Blueprints for assignment to Projects?

• A. Application Manager
• B. Marketplace Manager
• C. Projects
• D. Marketplace

Answer: B

Explanation:
The alert in Prism Central indicates that Calm showback is not able to reach the beam service. This could be due to network connectivity issues or incorrect configurations. The administrator should check the DNS configuration in Prism Central (Option A) to ensure that it is correctly configured to allow communication with the Beam service. Additionally, checking if Prism Element is configured with Proxy settings (Option C) is essential as it can also affect the communication between Calm and Beam. Pulse (Option B) and Flow (Option D) are not related to the Calm showback feature and do not impact its functionality.

NEW QUESTION # 61
An administrator has created a new Project and assigned users, roles, and quotas. A Playbook has also been created to power off idle VMs in that Project. However, users report that the Playbook is not executing as expected.
What is the most appropriate next step to validate the configuration?

• A. Check the Playbook's execution history to confirm trigger conditions.
• B. Modify the Project to use Prism Element as the execution context.
• C. Increase the quota limit for CPU and memory in the Project.
• D. Reboot the Prism Central instance to refresh settings.

Answer: A

Explanation:
In Nutanix Cloud Manager (NCM) Intelligent Operations (formerly Prism Pro/X-Play), the primary method for troubleshooting and validating Playbook behavior is through the Plays view in Prism Central.
When a Playbook is reported as not executing as expected, the administrator must examine thePlaystab (Execution History). This view provides a detailed log of all playbook activity, including:
* Status:Whether the playbook succeeded, failed, or is in progress.
* Trigger Details:Information regarding what specific event or alert triggered the playbook. If the playbook is not running at all, the administrator needs to verify if the "Idle VM" trigger conditions (e.g., CPU usage threshold, duration) are actually being met by the VMs in question.
* Step-by-Step Execution:If the playbook triggered but failed during execution, the history details exactly which step failed and provides error messages (e.g., permission issues or API failures).
Options such as rebooting Prism Central or increasing quotas do not address the need to diagnose why specific automation logic failed to fire or complete. Modifying the execution context is a potential fix only afterthe execution history reveals a permission error, but checking the history is the mandatory first step to validate the configuration.
