In Prism Element, policies such as replica�on factor and storage efficiency settings are applied to
Containers. A container is a logical grouping of one or more storage pools and de�nes the storage
id

resources available to virtual machines. By applying policies to a container, you can set the
al

replica�on factor, storage efficiency settings, and other storage-related settings for all of the virtual
machines that are associated with that container. This is a fundamental concept in Nutanix Pla�orm.

On which en�ty is Replica�on Factor con�gured?

https://www.validexamdumps.com/NCA-6.5.html
Questions and Answers PDF 3/56

A. Host
B. Oplog
C. Volume
D. Container

Answer: D
Explana�on:

Replica�on Factor is con�gured on a Container en�ty. Containers group together virtual disks and
�les, and allow administrators to set policies on a group level. This allows for increased �exibility in
managing storage resources and allows administrators to easily set policies across mul�ple virtual

om
disks and �les.
Replica�on Factor is con�gured on Containers. A container is a logical grouping of one or more

.c
storage pools and de�nes the storage resources available to virtual machines. The replica�on factor

ps
is a setting that determines the number of copies of data that are stored across the cluster. By
con�guring the replica�on factor on a container, you are setting the number of copies of data that

m
will be stored for all virtual machines that are associated with that container.

du
For example, if you have a container with a replica�on factor of 3, it means that three copies of data
will be stored across the cluster, and two copies are required to reconstruct the data in case of a
am
failure.

In Prism Central, Image Placement Policies can be used to map images to target clusters using

e
categories. An Image Placement Policy is a set of rules that determine where an image should be
id
placed on the Nutanix cluster. These rules are based on categories, such as the image's OS type, the
target cluster's hardware type, and other factors. By crea�ng image placement policies, you can
al
ensure that images are placed on the appropriate clusters, and that they are compa�ble with the
.v

hardware and s��are requirements of those clusters.

For example, you could create a placement policy that speci�es that all Windows images should be
w

placed on a speci�c cluster, and that all Linux images should be placed on another cluster. You can
w

also set image replica�on policies on image placement policies, to ensure that images are replicated

What requirement needs to be considered before con�guring Replica�on Factor of 1 (RF1)?

A. Applica�on resiliency
B. Hypervisor
C. RAID con�gura�on
D. Node count

https://www.validexamdumps.com/NCA-6.5.html
Questions and Answers PDF 5/56

Answer: A
Explana�on:

To con�gure Replica�on Factor 1 (RF1), the cluster must have at least three nodes. In RF1, data is
replicated to two other nodes within the cluster, so having at least three nodes is necessary to ensure
that the data is replicated. Moreover, when you con�gure RF1, the cluster must have a minimum of
three nodes to ensure that the data is accessible even if one of the nodes goes down.

Which IP address can be used to directly access Prism Element?

A. Founda�on VM IP address
B. IP address of any CVM in the cluster
C. IP address of any Prism Central VM
D. AHV host br0 IP address

Answer: B

om
Explana�on:

Prism Element is the management interface for Nutanix clusters and it can be accessed through the

.c
IP address of any CVM (Controller Virtual Machine) in the cluster. The CVM is a virtual machine that

ps
runs on each Nutanix node and is responsible for managing the storage and compute resources of
the node. Each CVM has a unique IP address, and any of these IP addresses can be used to directly

m
access Prism Element.

du
Accessing Prism Element through the IP address of a CVM allows the administrator to manage the
cluster, including con�guring storage, crea�ng and managing virtual machines, and monitoring the
am
health of the cluster.
It's important to note that Prism Central is a separate applica�on and it doesn't have the same
ex

func�ons as Prism Element, it's mainly used for mul�-cluster management.

Which feature or con�gura�on is best for securing network traffic between the management and
storage replica�on environments?
//w

A. Use of Firewall Rules

s:

B. Network Segmenta�on
tp

C. VM An�-Affinity Rules
D. Di�erent Storage Containers
ht

Answer: B
Explana�on:

Network segmenta�on is the best feature or con�gura�on for securing network traffic between the
management and storage replica�on environments. Network segmenta�on is the prac�ce of dividing
a computer network into subnets, each serving a di�erent purpose or func�on. By dividing the
network into di�erent segments, it is possible to control and monitor the �ow of traffic between the
di�erent segments, and to implement di�erent security policies for each segment.
For example, the management environment could be segmented from the storage replica�on
environment, and only speci�c traffic, such as management traffic, would be allowed to �ow

https://www.validexamdumps.com/NCA-6.5.html
Questions and Answers PDF 8/56

between the two segments. This can help to protect the management environment from poten�al
security threats that may originate from the storage replica�on environment.
Other op�ons like �rewall rules, VM an�-affinity rules, and di�erent storage containers can also help
to secure network traffic, but network segmenta�on provides a more comprehensive and granular
way to secure the traffic between di�erent environments.

A single host in a four-node AHV-based cluster experiences a complete network failure.

If more than enough resources exist in the cluster to tolerate a node failure, what happens to the
user VMs running on that host?

https://www.validexamdumps.com/NCA-6.5.html

A. VMs remain down un�l network connec�vity is restored.

B. VMs stay up, but are unreachable un�l connec�vity is restored.
C. VMs automa�cally restart on the three remaining hosts.
D. VMs are live-migrated to the three remaining hosts.

Answer: C
Explana�on:

In the case of a single host in a four-node AHV-based cluster experiencing a complete network
failure, the user VMs running on that host will stay up, but will be unreachable un�l connec�vity is
restored. This is because if more than enough resources exist in the cluster to tolerate a node failure,
the VMs will con�nue to run, but will be unable to communicate with other nodes in the cluster due

Which Nutanix data efficiency mechanism replaces a tradi�onal Replica�on Factor for suitable data?

A. Compression
B. Deduplica�on
C. Erasure Coding
D. Intelligent Cloning

Answer: C

https://www.validexamdumps.com/NCA-6.5.html
Questions and Answers PDF 21/56

Explana�on:

Erasure coding is a data efficiency mechanism in Nutanix that replaces the tradi�onal replica�on
factor for suitable data. Erasure coding uses a technique known as "forward error correc�on" to
spread data across mul�ple drives in a cluster, such that if some drives fail, the data can s�ll be
reconstructed. This allows for a much higher storage density and a more efficient use of disk space as
compared to tradi�onal replica�on, where mul�ple copies of the same data are stored across
mul�ple drives. Deduplica�on and Compression are also data efficiency mechanisms in Nutanix
which help to reduce the storage overhead by elimina�ng the redundant data. Intelligent Cloning is a
Nutanix feature which helps to create mul�ple instant, space-efficient clones of a VM. Reference:

Link Aggrega�on Control Protocol (LACP) is a NIC-teaming con�gura�on that balances network traffic
based on source/des�na�on IP addresses and TCP/UDP ports. LACP allows the administrator to
con�gure mul�ple NICs as a single logical NIC, known as a Link Aggrega�on Group (LAG), which can
increase the available bandwidth and provide redundancy. LACP uses a hashing algorithm to
distribute traffic across the NICs in the LAG, based on the source and des�na�on IP addresses and
TCP/UDP ports. This ensures that traffic is evenly distributed across the NICs, which helps to improve
overall network performance and availability. Reference:

Answer: C

https://www.validexamdumps.com/NCA-6.5.html
Questions and Answers PDF 47/56

Data Protec�on is a feature that ensures that data stored on a VM is protected against data loss in
the event of hardware failure, data corrup�on, or other unexpected events. It typically includes
features such as snapshots, replica�on, and backup, which enable administrators to create mul�ple
copies of data and store them in di�erent loca�ons to provide redundancy and ensure availability.
Replica�on Factor is a related concept, but it is not a VM-level feature in and of itself. Replica�on
Factor is a setting that can be con�gured at the storage level to determine how many copies of data
are stored on di�erent nodes in a distributed storage system. Data Locality and Deduplica�on are
also related concepts, but they do not directly ensure con�nuous availability of data.

LCM (Lifecycle Manager) is a tool provided by Nutanix to automate so�ware and �rmware upgrades

Answer: C

The Recycle Bin is a feature that allows administrators to recover data that has been accidentally
deleted from the cluster, by storing deleted �les in a temporary holding area for a certain period of
�me. During this �me, the deleted �les can be restored to their original loca�on, e�ec�vely undoing

The default reten�on period for the Recycle Bin is 24 hours, which means that any �les that are
