Here are the details of the affected VM:
VM Name: VM2
vCPU: 4
RAM: 8 GB
OS: Windows 2016
Hypervisor: AHV

NEW QUESTION # 54
An administrator is deploying a Windows VM from a Blueprint. As a step in the Blueprint, a PowerShell script needs to run on the target. VM. The communication between Calm and the VM is secured.
Which inbound port need to be opened for the PowerShell script to run on the VM?
- A. 0
- B. 1
- C. 2
- D. 3
Answer: A
Explanation:
The port 5986 is used for PowerShell Remoting over HTTPS, which is a secure way of executing PowerShell commands on a remote Windows VM. Calm uses PowerShell Remoting to run scripts on Windows VMs as part of the blueprint actions. Therefore, the port 5986 needs to be opened on the VM firewall to allow the communication between Calm and the VM. The other ports are not related to PowerShell Remoting, as they are used for SQL Server (1433), Remote Desktop Protocol (3389), and PowerShell Remoting over HTTP (5985).

NEW QUESTION # 55
An administrator needs to notify the on-call pager after hours using their PagerDuty incident management platform.
How should the administrator integrate notifications via PagerDuty in a Playbook using the least number of configurations possible?
- A. Create an action to send an alert to PagerDuty'.
- B. Create an action to notify PagerDuty via IP address.
- C. Send Alert to Nutanix v3 API which will use APIs to send notification to PagerDuty.
- D. Send Alert to Webhook which will use APIs to send notification to PagerDuty.
Answer: D
Explanation:
The Send Alert to Webhook action allows the administrator to send an HTTP request to a specified URL, which can be used to trigger a PagerDuty incident via its REST API1. This action requires the least number of configurations compared to the other options, as it only needs the webhook URL, the HTTP method, and the payload. The other optionswould require additional steps, such as creating a custom action, configuring the IP address, or using the Nutanix v3 API, which is not designed for integrating with third-party services.

NEW QUESTION # 57
An administrator has an existing set of VMs that were deployed before the company started using Calm. The administrator would like to now use Calm to manage those existing VMs.
What should the administrator do to manage the existing VMs?
- A. Create a Greenfield Application, select the snapshots of the VMs to manage and redeploy the VMs from the latest snapshot.
- B. Create a Brownfield Application, select the VMs that are needed for each deployment from the drop down list.
- C. Create a Brownfield Application, select the snapshots of the VMs to manage and redeploy the VMs from the latest snapshot.
- D. Create a Greenfield Application, select the VMs that are needed for each deployment from the drop down list.
Answer: B
Explanation:
A Brownfield Application is a type of application that allows you to import and manage existing VMs that were not deployed by Calm. You can use a Brownfield Application to perform actions such as start, stop, restart, delete, or execute scripts on the imported VMs. You can also add services, credentials, variables, and policies to the Brownfield Application blueprint. To create a Brownfield Application, you need to select a multi-VM blueprint and then choose the VMs that you want to include in the application from the drop down list. You can also filter the VMs by name, cluster, or power state.
A Greenfield Application is a type of application that allows you to deploy new VMs from scratch using Calm. You can use a Greenfield Application to provision and configure VMs on different cloud platforms, such as Nutanix AHV, VMware ESXi, AWS, Azure, or GCP. You can also add services, credentials, variables, and policies to the Greenfield Application blueprint. To create a Greenfield Application, you need to select a single-VM or a multi-VM blueprint and then specify the VM properties, such as name, image, flavor, network, storage, etc.

Explanation:
The error message "INTERNAL_ERROR: ErrorCode: 9" typically indicates an issue with the SSH service on the VMs. In this context, where a playbook is being executed to shut down Linux VMs, it's essential that the SSH service is running to allow for remote management and execution of commands. If the SSH service isn't running, the playbook won't be able to execute commands on the VMs, leading to an internal error.

NEW QUESTION # 64
Refer to the exhibit.
What needs to be done in order to enable the developer to complete this requested task? (Choose two.)
- A. Create AWS and Azure Providers
- B. Upgrade Calm to version 3.2.x
- C. Enable Environment for AWS and Azure
- D. Add the Providers to the Project
Answer: A,D
Explanation:
In order to enable the developer to complete the requested task, AWS and Azure Providers need to be created (Option A). This is because, in the context of Nutanix Calm, providers are integrations with public and private cloud infrastructures. The developer is trying to deploy an application on AWS and Azure clouds but currently only has Nutanix as a configured provider. After creating the providers, they need to be added to the project (Option B) so that applications can be deployed on them. Option C is incorrect because environments are not required for multicloud deployments. Option D is also incorrect because Calm version 3.2.x is not relevant to the question.

NEW QUESTION # 65
When a developer launches the created Blueprint within the Blueprint Editor, the application gets deployed correctly. However, when the Blueprint is launched via Marketplace, it gets a check login error.
What is causing this issue?
- A. The SSH key within the user's laptop is not valid.
- B. User is not authorized to launch Blueprints.
- C. Prism Central can't communicate with Active Directory.
- D. The credential in the Project Environment is invalid.
Answer: D
Explanation:
When a Blueprint is launched via Marketplace, it uses the credential that is configured in the Project Environment. If the credential is invalid, the Blueprint deployment will fail with a check login error. To fix this issue, the developer needs to verify and update the credential in the Project Environment and ensure that it has the required permissions to access the target infrastructure and applications.

NEW QUESTION # 66
Prism Central reporting indicates that there are multiple memory-constrained VMs in multiple clusters. The target VMs have Memory Hot Add enabled.
Using X-Play, in what order should the Playbook actions be added to ensure the VMs are properly remediated?
- A. Take a VM Snapshot, VM add Memory, Resolve Alert
- B. VM add Memory, Take a VM Snapshot, Resolve Alert
- C. Take a VM Snapshot, Power Off VM, VM Add Memory, Resolve Alert, Power on VM
- D. Power off VM, Take a VM Snapshot, VM add Memory, Resolve Alert
Answer: A
Explanation:
To ensure the VMs are properly remediated, the Playbook actions should be added in the following order:
Take a VM Snapshot, VM add Memory, Resolve Alert. This is because Memory Hot Add allows the administrator to increase the memory allocation of a running VM without powering it off. Taking a VM snapshot before adding memory provides a backup point in case of any issues. Resolving the alert after adding memory clears the notification and updates the status of the VM. Powering off the VM is not necessary and may cause downtime or disruption to the applications running on the VM.
