Nutanix Certified Professional - Unified Storage (NCP-US) v6.5: NCP-US-6.5

Correct Answer: CD

Explanation: The two minimum resources that are required for deploying Files instances are 8 GiB of memory per host and 4 vCPUs per host. Memory and vCPUs are resources that are allocated to VMs (Virtual Machines) to run applications and processes. Files instances are file server instances (FSIs) that run on FSVMs (File Server VMs) on a Nutanix cluster. FSVMs require at least 8 GiB of memory and 4 vCPUs per host to function properly and provide SMB and NFS access to file shares and exports. The administrator should ensure that there are enough memory and vCPUs available on each host before deploying Files instances.

Correct Answer: C

Explanation: The delay before compression begins on the Files container is 12 hours. Compression is a feature that reduces the storage space required for data by applying an algorithm that eliminates redundant or unnecessary bits. Compression can improve the storage efficiency and performance of Files. Compression is enabled by default on the Files container and runs in the background as a low-priority task. Compression does not start immediately after an AOS upgrade, but waits for 12 hours to avoid interfering with other high-priority tasks or operations.

Correct Answer: B

Explanation: The administrator can monitor their Files environment for suspicious activities, such as mass deletion or access denials, by deploying the File Analytics VM and configuring anomaly rules. File Analytics is a feature that provides insights into the usage and activity of file data stored on Files. File Analytics consists of a File Analytics VM (FAVM) that runs on a Nutanix cluster and communicates with the File Server VMs (FSVMs) that host the file shares. File Analytics can alert the administrator when there is an unusual or suspicious activity on file data, such as mass deletion, encryption, permission change, or access denial. The administrator can configure anomaly rules to define the threshold, time window, and notification settings for each type of anomaly.
