NCM-MCI Practice Test

Review 99 NCM-MCI practice questions with answer explanations and community insights.

Question 1

An administrator receives reports about a Nutanix environment. The investigation finds the following; ✑ VMs are experiencing very high latency ✑ Each node is equipped with a single SSD, utilized at 95% ✑ Each node is equipped with three HDDs, utilized at 40% Why are the guest VMs experiencing high latency?

  1. CVMs are overwhelmed by disk balancing operations.
  2. All VM write operations are going to HDD.
  3. All VM read operations are coming from HDD.
  4. VMs are unable to perform write operations

Question 2

In a Nutanix cluster, a Protection Domain contains 50 entities that are replicated to a remote Single Node Replication Target. The current schedule configuration is as follows: ✑ Repeat every 6 hours ✑ Local Retention Policy 1 ✑ Remote Retention Policy 8 ✑ Starting time 12 am At 8 am on Monday, the administrator discovers that a protected VM is corrupted. The latest good state was Sunday 2 pm. The administrator needs to maintain current protection. Which strategy should the administrator use to meet these requirements?

  1. From the Remote site, activate the Protection Domain, then re-protect the entity.
  2. From the Remote site, restore the VM from the local snapshot by selecting the correct snapshot.
  3. From the local site, retrieve the correct remote snapshot, then restore the VM locally.
  4. From the local site, restore the VM from the local snapshot by selecting the correct snapshot.

Question 3

An administrator has a custom backup application that requires a 2TB disk and runs in Windows. Throughput is considerably lower than expected. The application was installed on a VM with the following configuration: * Four vCPUs with one core/vCPU * 4GB of Memory * One 50GB vDisk for the Windows installation * One 2TB vDisk for the application What is the recommended configuration change to improve throughput?

  1. Increase the number of cores per vCPU
  2. Increase the vCPUs assigned to the VM
  3. Span the 2TB disk across four vDisks
  4. Add 4GB of memory to the VM

Question 4

An administrator is responsible for the following Nutanix Enterprise Cloud environment: A central datacenter with a 20-node cluster with 1.5PB of storage ✑ Five remote sites each with a 4-node cluster with 200TB storage The remote sites are connected to the datacenter via 1GB links with an average latency of 6 ms RTT. What is the minimum RPO the administrator can achieve for this environment?

  1. 0 minutes
  2. 15 minutes
  3. 1 hour
  4. 6 hours

Question 5

An administrator of a Nutanix Enterprise Cloud has microsegmentation enabled and a firewall VM installed. The security team notifies the administrator that one of the VMs hosted in the environment has been exhibiting suspect network activity. The administrator wants to isolate the VM from the production network, but must still be able to access it to perform diagnostics. What should the administrator do to meet the requirement?

  1. Disable the vNIC on the affected VM
  2. Quarantine the VM using the Forensic Method
  3. Create a firewall rule that blocks VM traffic but permits diagnostic access
  4. Create a security policy with a service chain directing that VMs traffic to the firewall
