Nutanix Certified Services Core Infrastructure Professional Sample Questions:
An administrator is planning to deploy a Nutanix cluster to support a few high-performance VMs. This deployment will have the following considerations:
* Individual VMs will likely generate network throughputs in the range of 90-100Mbps
* Due to the configuration of the VMs, it is unlikely that a node will host more than one or two of them at a time
* Individual VMs will communicate with only a few (one or two) remote hosts at a time
* Multicast will not be used in the environment
* The hosts are connected via two 1GbE network connections
How should the administrator configure the network bonds to meet this requirement while maintaining the simplest switch configuration?
- A. Configure bond0 as active-backup
- B. Configure bond0 as balance-sib
- C. Configure bond0 as balance-lacp
- D. Configure bond0 as balance-tcp

02. The images also cannot be checked out to any other clusters that are registered with Prism Central in the future.
Which two configuration settings must the administrator choose when creating the image placement policy that satisfies the stated requirements? (Choose two.)
- A. Set the policy enforcement to Hard.
- B. Create an image placement policy that identifies cluster Corp-cluster-01 as the target cluster
- C. Create an image placement policy that identifies cluster Corp-cluster-02 as the target cluster.
