Following new security guidelines, it must be ensured that the storage of critical virtual machines will be encrypted in future.
The assignment is to be made by a new category called VM-Storage with a value of softwareencrypted in Prism Central. Make sure a second value of SEDencrypted is also created for future use.
Create the above-mentioned category and perform further configurations in Prism Central for VM-based storage encryption.
Assign the name Encrypted-Storage to the newly created policy.
Correct Answer:
See the Explanation below for detailed answer.
Explanation:
Here is the step-by-step solution to create the category and the corresponding storage encryption policy within Prism Central.
1. Create the Category
First, you must create the category and the two values requested.
* In Prism Central, navigate to Administration > Categories.
* Click New Category.
* In the Name field, enter VM-Storage.
* In the Add a Value field, type softwareencrypted and click the Add (plus) button.
* In the Add a Value field again, type SEDencrypted and click the Add (plus) button.
* Click Save.
2. Create the Encryption Policy
Next, you will create the security policy that uses the new category.
* In Prism Central, navigate to Security > Data-at-Rest Encryption.
* Click the + Create Security Policy button.
* In the Policy Name field, enter Encrypted-Storage.
* Ensure the Encryption Type is set to Software-based.
* For Target VMs, select the radio button for VMs matching a category.
* In the Select Category dropdown, choose the VM-Storage category you just created.
* In the Select Value dropdown, choose softwareencrypted.
* Click Save.
This policy will now automatically apply software-based encryption to any new or existing VMs that are assigned the VM-Storage: softwareencrypted category.
Task 15
Depending on the order you perform the exam items, the access information and credentials could change.
Please refer to the other item performed on Cluster B if you have problems accessing the cluster.
The infosec team has requested that audit logs for API Requests and replication capabilities be enabled for all clusters for the top 4 severity levels and pushed to their syslog system using highest reliability possible. They have requested no other logs to be included.
Syslog configuration:
Syslog Name: Corp_syslog
Syslop IP: 34.69.43.123
Port: 514
Ensure the cluster is configured to meet these requirements.
Correct Answer:
See the Explanation for step by step solution.
Explanation:
To configure the cluster to meet the requirements of the infosec team, you need to do the following steps:
Log in to Prism Central and go to Network > Syslog Servers > Configure Syslog Server. Enter Corp_syslog as the Server Name, 34.69.43.123 as the IP Address, and 514 as the Port. Select TCP as the Transport Protocol and enable RELP (Reliable Logging Protocol). This will create a syslog server with the highest reliability possible.
Click Edit against Data Sources and select Cluster B as the cluster. Select API Requests and Replication as the data sources and set the log level to CRITICAL for both of them. This will enable audit logs for API requests and replication capabilities for the top 4 severity levels (EMERGENCY, ALERT, CRITICAL, and ERROR) and push them to the syslog server. Click Save.
Repeat step 2 for any other clusters that you want to configure with the same requirements.
To configure the Nutanix clusters to enable audit logs for API Requests and replication capabilities, and push them to the syslog system with the highest reliability possible, you can follow these steps:
Log in to the Nutanix Prism web console using your administrator credentials.
Navigate to the "Settings" section or the configuration settings interface within Prism.
Locate the "Syslog Configuration" or "Logging" option and click on it.
Configure the syslog settings as follows:
Syslog Name: Enter "Corp_syslog" as the name for the syslog configuration.
Syslog IP: Set the IP address to "34.69.43.123", which is the IP address of the syslog system.
Port: Set the port to "514", which is the default port for syslog.
Enable the option for highest reliability or persistent logging, if available. This ensures that logs are sent reliably and not lost in case of network interruptions.
Save the syslog configuration.
Enable Audit Logs for API Requests:
In the Nutanix Prism web console, navigate to the "Cluster" section or the cluster management interface.
Select the desired cluster where you want to enable audit logs.
Locate the "Audit Configuration" or "Security Configuration" option and click on it.
Look for the settings related to audit logs and API requests. Enable the audit logging feature and select the top
4 severity levels to be logged.
Save the audit configuration.
Enable Audit Logs for Replication Capabilities:
In the Nutanix Prism web console, navigate to the "Cluster" section or the cluster management interface.
Select the desired cluster where you want to enable audit logs.
Locate the "Audit Configuration" or "Security Configuration" option and click on it.
Look for the settings related to audit logs and replication capabilities. Enable the audit logging feature and select the top 4 severity levels to be logged.
Save the audit configuration.
After completing these steps, the Nutanix clusters will be configured to enable audit logs for API Requests and replication capabilities. The logs will be sent to the specified syslog system with the highest reliability possible.

Task 6
An administrator needs to assess performance gains provided by AHV Turbo at the guest level.
To perform the test the administrator created a Windows 10 VM named Turbo with the following configuration.
1 vCPU
8 GB RAM
SATA Controller
40 GB vDisk
The stress test application is multi-threaded capable, but the performance is not as expected with AHV Turbo enabled. Configure the VM to better leverage AHV Turbo.
Note: Do not power on the VM. Configure or prepare the VM for configuration as best you can without powering it on.
Correct Answer:
To configure the VM to better leverage AHV Turbo, you can follow these steps:
Log in to Prism Element of cluster A using the credentials provided.
Go to VM > Table and select the VM named Turbo.
Click on Update and go to Hardware tab.
Increase the number of vCPUs to match the number of multiqueues that you want to enable. For example, if you want to enable 8 multiqueues, set the vCPUs to 8. This will improve the performance of multi-threaded workloads by allowing them to use multiple processors.
Change the SCSI Controller type from SATA to VirtIO. This will enable the use of VirtIO drivers, which are required for AHV Turbo.
Click Save to apply the changes.
Power off the VM if it is running and mount the Nutanix VirtIO ISO image as a CD-ROM device. You can download the ISO image from Nutanix Portal.
Power on the VM and install the latest Nutanix VirtIO drivers for Windows 10. You can follow the instructions from Nutanix Support Portal.
After installing the drivers, power off the VM and unmount the Nutanix VirtIO ISO image.
Power on the VM and log in to Windows 10.
Open a command prompt as administrator and run the following command to enable multiqueue for the VirtIO NIC:
ethtool -L eth0 combined 8
Replace eth0 with the name of your network interface and 8 with the number of multiqueues that you want to enable. You can use ipconfig /all to find out your network interface name.
Restart the VM for the changes to take effect.
You have now configured the VM to better leverage AHV Turbo. You can run your stress test application again and observe the performance gains.

An administrator is working to create a VM using Nutanix V3 API calls with the following specifications.
VM specifications:
* vCPUs: 2
* Memory: 8Gb
* Disk Size: 50Gb
* Cluster: Cluster 1
* Network: default-net
* Branding must be disabled on the VM
The API call is failing, indicating an issue with the payload:
"": [
"'metadata' is a required property",
"'spec' is a required property"
],
"message": "Request could not be processed.",
"reason": "INVALID_REQUEST"
The body is saved in desktop\API_Create_VM.txt.
Correct any issues in the text file that would prevent it from creating the VM. Also ensure the VM will be created as specified 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.
Correct Answer:
See the Explanation below for detailed answer.
Explanation:
Here is the step-by-step solution to correct the API payload and deploy the VM.
This task is performed using the REST API Explorer within Prism Central.
1. Get Required UUIDs
To create a VM, you first need the unique IDs (UUIDs) for the target cluster and network.
* From the Prism Central dashboard, click the question mark (?) icon in the top-right corner and select REST API Explorer.
* Find Cluster 1 UUID:
* In the API Explorer, search for and select the clusters/list (POST) endpoint.
* In the Body field, paste a simple filter: { "kind": "cluster" }
* Click Send.
* In the "Response" body, find the entry for Cluster 1 and copy its metadata.uuid value.
* Find default-net UUID:
* Search for and select the subnets/list (POST) endpoint.
* In the Body field, paste: { "kind": "subnet" }
* Click Send.
* In the "Response" body, find the entry where spec.name is default-net and copy its metadata.uuid value.
2. Correct the API Payload File
The error message "'metadata' is a required property" and "'spec' is a required property" indicates the JSON in the file is malformed and missing the required root-level objects. The file content also does not match the VM specifications.
* On the desktop, open API_Create_VM.txt in Notepad.
* Delete all existing text in the file (including the POST Call and Body: lines).
* Paste the following corrected and complete JSON payload into the file.
* Replace <UUID_for_Cluster_1> and <UUID_for_default-net> with the actual UUIDs you copied in the previous step.
JSON
{
"spec": {
"name": "API_VM_Task15",
"resources": {
"power_state": "OFF",
"num_sockets": 2,
"num_vcpus_per_socket": 1,
"memory_size_mib": 8192,
"disk_list": [
{
"disk_size_mib": 51200,
"device_properties": {
"device_type": "DISK"
}
}
],
"nic_list": [
{
"subnet_reference": {
"kind": "subnet",
"uuid": "<UUID_for_default-net>"
}
}
],
"guest_customization": {
"is_overridable": true,
"override_branding": true
}
},
"cluster_reference": {
"kind": "cluster",
"uuid": "<UUID_for_Cluster_1>"
}
},
"metadata": {
"kind": "vm"
}
}
* Save and close the API_Create_VM.txt file.
Correction Summary:
* JSON Structure: The original file was malformed. The new payload provides the required spec and metadata objects at the root level.
* vCPUs: Set to 2 sockets (2 vCPUs total).
* Memory: Set to 8192 MiB (8 GB).
* Disk: Set to 51200 MiB (50 GB) and removed the unneeded CDROM.
* Cluster/Network: Placeholders are added for the required UUIDs.
* Branding: guest_customization.override_branding: true is added to disable branding for the VM.
3. Deploy the VM via API
* Return to the REST API Explorer.
* Search for and select the vms (POST) endpoint (the one with the description "Create a new vm").
* Open the corrected API_Create_VM.txt file, copy its entire contents (which now includes your specific UUIDs).
* Paste the complete JSON payload into the Body field of the vms (POST) endpoint.
* Click Send.
The API will return a 202 Accepted response, and the VM will be created (and remain powered off) on Cluster 1.
