NEW QUESTION # 193
An administrator is currently using both 10g uplink with LACP and balance-tcp. A single VM should not be allowed to use more than a single 10G uplink, and both uplinks should be utilized.
Which two command should be used to configure the bond? (choose two)
- A. Ovs-vsctl set port br0-up bond_mode=balance-slb
- B. Ovs-vsctl set port br0-up bond_mode=active-backup
- C. Ovs-vsctl set port br0-up other_config: bond-rebalance-interval=30000
- D. Ovs-vsctl set port br0-up bond_mode=balance-tcp
Answer: A,C
Explanation:
For a configuration where a single VM should not exceed the bandwidth of a single 10G uplink and both uplinks need to be utilized, the correct bonding mode is balance-slb (Source Load Balancing). This mode allows both uplinks to be utilized while ensuring that a single VM will not exceed the capacity of one uplink, as traffic from each VM or "source" is assigned to one of the links in the bond. The other_config:
bond-rebalance-interval=30000 command is used to set the interval at which the bonding driver will rebalance the assignment of sources to links in the bond. This helps in maintaining optimal distribution of load across the links as network conditions change.

Which option explains how to meet the CEO's request?
- A. In Capacity Runway, select Optimize Resources and select all VMs that must be protected.
- B. Create a new project and assign the VMs to it to get compute and storage requirements.
- C. Create a new Recovery policy by selecting the VM that needs to be protected and get hardware requirements.
- D. Create a new scenario based on a new cluster based on a VM Profile and select Recommend.
Answer: C
Explanation:
In a Nutanix environment managed by Prism Central, protecting workloads and SQL servers from a disaster involves creating a recovery policy. A recovery policy in Nutanix is a set of rules that define how data is protected and recovered in the event of a disaster1.
Creating a new recovery policy involves selecting the virtual machines (VMs) that need to be protected and specifying the hardware requirements for the recovery environment1. This includes the compute and storage resources needed to run the protected VMs in the recovery site1.
Once the recovery policy is created, Nutanix's built-in data protection and disaster recovery capabilities can ensure that the protected VMs can be quickly and efficiently recovered in the event of a disaster2. This includes capabilities such as efficient snapshot, cloning, and replication capabilities to provide a higher level of protection at a lower cost2.
Therefore, to meet the CEO's request, the IT administrator should create a new Recovery policy by selecting the VM that needs to be protected and get hardware requirements.
