NCSC-Level-1 Nutanix Certified Services Consultant (NCSC): Level 1 Question and Answers

A customer wants to use NIC teaming on an ESXi host using a vSphere Standard Switch configured with the Route based on physical NIC load load balancing option. The customer does not see the option when editing the Teaming and Failover settings for the switch.

How should the consultant resolve this issue?

A consultant finishes creating a new ESXi cluster. The consultant connects to the nodes via laptop and a personal flat switch. The host/CVM network is on VLAN 23. The customer has the native VLAN on the ToR switches set to 23.

The customer wants to use LACP. Before placing the nodes on the customer network, the consultant tags VLAN 23 for each host and CVM. The consultant connects the nodes to the customer network and finds that they are unreachable.

What is causing this issue?

After uploading a hypervisor ISO during the Foundation process, a consultant sees a message that the MD5 sum for the hypervisor is not found in the Whitelist file.

Which step should the consultant take next to resolve this issue?

While preparing for a new four-node cluster installation, the consultant has a Tech Review Call with the customer. The hardware is as follows:

* 4 nodes in 1 Block

* 8 x 10 GbE Ports

* 4 x 1 GbE IPMI Ports

* Adequate Ethernet ports are available

* Ethernet cables are correct and available

* Adequate rack space is available

Which remaining item must be confirmed as available onsite?

A consultant successfully completes a Foundation using a flat switch. The consultant then works with the customer to move the cluster over to their production network. After the move, the CVMs and hypervisors can no longer communicate, which prevents the cluster from starting.

Which option should be used to resolve this issue?

A consultant is onsite with a customer running Foundation VM (FVM) and discovers that there is no connectivity between the FVM and their laptop. The consultant verifies the following:

* The consultant’s laptop and Nutanix nodes are plugged into a flat switch.

* The laptop, switch and nodes are plugged into supported power supplies.

* The laptop network adapters and FVM are configured with their corresponding IP addresses.

What is the cause for the connectivity failure to the FVM?

A consultant deploys a four-node VMware ESXi cluster and vCenter server. An HA/DRS cluster is configured for all four nodes. The customer deploys five new VMs on the cluster.

During the knowledge Transfer, a network cable on one node is removed to demonstrate HA and migration of the VMs to another host. In the HA/DRS cluster settings, the VM Restart Priority for all CVMs is set to Disabled. The customer observes warnings that the CVM on the ejected host is no longer powered on.

Which ESXi HA/DRS cluster setting is missing?

A consultant is performing a Nutanix Cluster installation on Dell XC Core hardware. The consultant decides to use Foundation Portable for Mac to perform the installation. When the consultant arrives onsite, Foundation Portable is unable to locate the new nodes.

Which log should the consultant check to troubleshoot this issue?
