Question 4

An administrator needs to change the bond type on an existing virtual switch in a production AHV cluster running critical workloads. The administrator wants to avoid any disruption to running VMs during the change.
How should the administrator complete this task?

A. Use the Quick method to apply changes without putting nodes into maintenance mode. B. Delete the virtual switch and recreate it with a new bond type to avoid a rolling update. C. Use the Standard method to migrate VMs and apply changes sequentially to each node. D. Place all of the nodes in maintenance mode simultaneously, then apply the bond type change.

Question 7

An administrator configures network segmentation and places the Data Services IP (DSIP) in a secondary non-routable subnet while the cluster is registered to Prism Central. Prism Central cannot initiate or complete cluster upgrades. How should the administrator resolve this issue?

A. Use a single uplink because segmented networks do not tolerate redundancy. B. Configure an additional DSIP within the original subnet used for PC communication. C. Enable proxy ARP within the Nutanix VLAN to establish reachability. D. Disable segmentation on the local cluster until the next upgrade cycle.

Question 8

An administrator has a large group of VMs for the marketing team that all have the same RPO requirements of a snapshot every hour. A Protection Policy already exists with an hourly snapshot schedule. What is the easiest way to add this group of VMs to the Protection Policy?

A. Create a template for the marketing VMs and add the template to the Protection Policy. B. Add each VM to the Protection Policy from the VM page. C. Edit the Protection Policy and add each individual VM. D. Assign a category to marketing VMs, then add the category to the Protection Policy.

Question 9

Due to user complaints of slow VM performance, an administrator is reviewing performance metrics on their Nutanix cluster and executes `iostat` on a Controller VM (CVM).
The following output is captured:
`#TIMESTAMP 1768953673 : 01/21/2026 12:01:13 AM`
`avg-cpu: %user %nice %system %iowait %steal %idle`
` 2.32 0.09 7.53 83.20 0.00 6.86`
Based on this output, which statement most accurately describes the current state of the CVM?

A. The CVM is suffering from excessive network throughput congestion, resulting in a high percentage of CPU cycles being dedicated to interrupt processing. B. The CVM is under heavy computational load from Nutanix services, as evidenced by the high percentage of active processing cycles currently in use. C. The CVM is experiencing significant CPU contention from the hypervisor, as indicated by the discrepancy between low user percentage and high system overhead. D. The CVM is likely waiting on disk I/O operations to complete, suggesting a potential bottleneck in the storage subsystem or underlying physical drives.
