Nutanix Certified Master - Multicloud Infrastructure (NCM-MCI) Sample Questions:

1. The Infosec team has requested that all operational tasks performed within Cluster 1 be properly logged to include the top 4 severity levels and pushed to their syslog system using highest reliability possible for analysis. This is to include any Virtual Machine changes only.
The Infosec team has also requested that monitor logs for the given RSyslog Server Module be included for now. No extra logs should be included.
No other clusters should connect to this syslog server.
Syslog configuration:
* Syslog Name: Corp_Syslog
* Syslog IP: 34.142.155.231
* Port: TCP/514
Ensure only Cluster 1 is configured to meet these requirements.

2. The Database team is reporting performance degradation for a business-critical application on Saturdays.
The team is requesting monitoring of processor, memory and storage utilization for the cluster for the application: SQL01, SQL02.
The report should contain views for the following:
* At the cluster level, only for the Cluster 1: The maximum percentage of CPU used
* At the VM level, including any future VM with the prefix SQL: The maximum time taken, maximum percentage of time a VM waits to use the physical CPU, out of the total CPU The report should run on Sundays at 12:00 AM for the previous 7 days. The report should show when completed.
Create a report named SQL_Batch_Saturday that meets these requirements.
Generate an instance of the report named SQL_Batch_Saturday as a CSV and save the file.
Note: You must name the report SQL_Batch_Saturday to receive any credit. Any other name will not be accepted. SMTP is not configured.

3. An administrator needs to configure a new write-intensive MS-SQL VM on Cluster 1.
VM specifications:
* vCPU: 12
* vRAM: 128GB
* Storage: 100 GB OS, 750 GB Data
Create the VM and any objects needed in the current environment to meet requirements, maximizing performance for the production environment. Include NEWSQL in the name of any new objects.
Production environment:
* 4 nodes
* Each node has two 8-core CPUs
* Each node has 1024 GB RAM
* Storage: 4 × 7.16 TB SSD Disks and 8 × 8 TB HDD disks
Make sure the VM is configured for maximum performance for the production environment.
Note: Network configuration is not required at this time. Do not power on the VM.

4. Task 16
An administrator is working to create a VM using Nutanix V3 API calls with the following specifications.
* VM specifications:

* vCPUs: 2
* Memory: BGb
* Disk Size: 50Gb
* Cluster: Cluster A
* Network: default- net
The API call is falling, indicating an issue with the payload:
The body is saved in Desktop/ Files/API_Create_VM,text
Correct any issues in the text file that would prevent from creating the VM. Also ensure the VM will be created as speeded and make sure it is saved for re-use using that filename.
Deploy the vm through the API
Note: Do not power on the VM.
