NEW QUESTION # 23
When creating a blueprint, which Pre-create and Post-delete tasks are valid?
- A. Create, Start, Stop, Soft Delete
- B. Execute, Set variable, API, Delay
- C. Execute, Set variable, HTTP, Delay
- D. Create, Start, Stop, Delete
Answer: C
Explanation:
Pre-create and Post-delete tasks are actions that can be performed before creating or after deleting a blueprint deployment. They can be used to integrate with external systems, set variables, or add delays. The valid tasks are Execute, Set variable, HTTP, and Delay. Create, Start, Stop, and Delete are not valid tasks, as they are part of the deployment lifecycle, not the pre-create or post-delete actions.

NEW QUESTION # 25
Where should an administrator check why a Playbook failed to grow the memory of a VM?
- A. Plays dashboard in Prism Central
- B. Plays dashboard in Prism Element
- C. VM Details in Prism Element
- D. VM Details in Prism Central
Answer: A
Explanation:
The Plays dashboard in Prism Central provides a centralized view of all the Playbooks that have been executed across the clusters registered with Prism Central. It shows the status, duration, and output of each Playbook run, as well as the details of the triggers, targets, and actions involved. An administrator can use the Plays dashboard to troubleshoot why a Playbook failed to grow the memory of a VM by checking the error messages, logs, and output of the Playbook run. The other options are not the correct places to check for Playbook failures, as they do not provide the same level of information and visibility as the Plays dashboard.

What are two valid trigger types available for executing Playbooks? (Choose two.)
- A. Manual
- B. Audit
- C. Alert
- D. Report
Answer: A,C
Explanation:
Playbooks are a collection of tasks that can be executed on demand or based on a trigger. There are two types of triggers available for executing Playbooks: manual and alert. A manual trigger allows you to run a Playbook on demand from the Prism Central UI or the Calm API. An alert trigger allows you to run a Playbook automatically when a specific alert is generated by Prism Central or a third-party system. Report and audit are not valid trigger types for Playbooks. References: Nutanix Multicloud Automation Administration (NMCAA), page 9; Nutanix Certified Professional - Multicloud Automation (NCP-MCA), section 1.
NEW QUESTION # 33
An administrator needs to add AWS as a usable destination for application deployments.
Where would the administrator perform the task?
- A. Providers
- B. Projects
- C. Blueprints
- D. Marketplace
Answer: A
Explanation:
The administrator needs to add AWS as a provider in Calm. A provider is a cloud platform or infrastructure that hosts the application VMs or services. Calm supports various providers such as Nutanix, AWS, Azure, GCP, VMware, and Kubernetes. To add a provider, the administrator needs to go to the Providers page in the Calm UI and click on the +Create Provider button. Then, the administrator needs to select the AWS provider type and enter the required information such as name, access key, secret key, and regions.

NEW QUESTION # 34 
A subset of Linux VMS is required to be gracefully shutdown each evening.
A Playbook is created to shut down the targeted VMs, however, the error message shown in the error message when the Playbook is executed.
Data flow
Playbook execution terminated due to action failure.
Trigger
Manual
Action
Power of vm
Error message Failed to with Internal Error.
VM power state task failed to complete.
status: Error:
INTERNAL_ERROR: Errorcode: 9
What is causing the error message?
- A. executing the not have privileges.
- B. The VM is missing Nutanix Guest Tool.
- C. The SSH Service is not running on the VMs.
- D. The VM is Off.
Answer: C
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 # 35
An administrator manages a Nutanix cluster with 630 VMs, all of which are in production.
The Accounting department wants to be notified when any of their production VMs exceed 90% CPU usage or
90% memory usage. Their VMs are categorized as LOB:Accounting.
How should the administrator satisfy this request from the Accounting department?
- A. Create an Alert with the Accounting category assigned.
- B. Direct the VM users to generate alerts within the affected VMs.
- C. Create a category named Department with the value Accounting.
- D. Create a dashboard in Prism Central with the CPU Usage.
Answer: A
Explanation:
Alerts are a way of monitoring the health and performance of the Nutanix cluster and the VMs running on it.
Alerts can be triggered by various metrics, such as CPU usage, memory usage, disk space, network traffic, etc.
Alerts can also be configured to send notifications to the administrator or other recipients via email, Slack, PagerDuty, etc. To satisfy the request from the Accounting department, the administrator should create an Alert with the following settings:
* Trigger: CPU Usage (%) > 90 OR Memory Usage (%) > 90
* Scope: VM
* Category: LOB:Accounting
* Notification: Email to [email protected] This way, the Alert will only apply to the VMs that belong to the Accounting department, and will send an email notification to the Accounting department when any of their VMs exceed the specified thresholds.

NEW QUESTION # 36
An administrator is providing users with access to the company's LOB applications through a VDI solution.
The administrator received information that the company are going to hire 200 new employees who will be using these applications.
The environment is monitored by a third-party tool that notifies the administrator when the VDI solution is about to run out of capacity. This gives the administrator time to create additional resources and add them to the VDI solution.
What should the administrator use when creating a playbook to automate this?
- A. A trigger based on an event
- B. A trigger based on an email
- C. A trigger based on an alert
- D. A trigger based on a REST API
Answer: A
Explanation:
The administrator should use a trigger based on an event when creating a playbook to automate the scaling of the VDI solution. An event trigger is a type of trigger that executes a playbook when a specific event occurs in the Nutanix environment or in a third-party system. An event trigger can be configured to listen to events from various sources, such as Prism alerts, Calm actions, or external webhooks. In this scenario, the administrator can use an event trigger to listen to the webhook from the third-party monitoring tool and execute a playbook that creates additional resources and adds them to the VDI solution.
A trigger based on a REST API is not the best option, because it requires the administrator to manually invoke the playbook using an API call. This is not as efficient or reliable as using an event trigger that automatically executes the playbook when the capacity threshold is reached.
A trigger based on an email is also not the best option, because it requires the administrator to configure an email server and a mailbox to receive the notification from the third-party tool. This adds complexity and overhead to the automation process and may not be as secure or timely as using an event trigger.
A trigger based on an alert is a valid option, but it depends on the availability and compatibility of the Prism alert system with the third-party tool. If the third-party tool can send alerts to Prism, then the administrator can use an alert trigger to execute the playbook. However, if the third-party tool does not integrate with Prism, then the administrator cannot use an alert trigger and has to use an event trigger instead.

NEW QUESTION # 37
A developer updated a blueprint to ensure that the IP address of the VM is reserved in IPAM as part of the deployment process. The developer noticed that when new VMs are created, they still get a DHCP IP address and not a reserved IP address.
What is the most likely reason for this behavior?
- A. Developer created a post-create task for reserving the IP address
- B. Developer created a pre-create task for reserving the IP address
- C. Developer forgot to publish the updated blueprint
- D. Developer forgot to save the updated blueprint
Answer: A
Explanation:
The most likely reason for this behavior is that the developer created a post-create task for reserving the IP address. A post-create task is executed after the VM is created and powered on, which means that the VM already obtained a DHCP IP address before the task is run. To reserve the IP address in IPAM as part of the deployment process, the developer should create a pre-create task instead. A pre-create task is executed before the VM is created and powered on, which allows the task to reserve the IP address in IPAM and assign it to the VM.

NEW QUESTION # 38
An administrator has noticed an increasing number of inactive VMS being left powered on within the environment over the course of OS migrations, using Playbooks, which two Actions should the administrator use to start documenting which VMS are marked as inactive to take future Automated actions on? (Choose two.)
- A. Send an Email with the Source Entity Name Parameter in the body.
- B. Trigger Playbook on Powered Off VM for all applicable VMS.
- C. Assign the VMS to an Inactive:VM Category as an Action.
- D. Trigger Playbook on Alert with the Inactive VM Alert Policy.
Answer: C,D
Explanation:
The administrator should assign the VMs to an Inactive:VM category as an action and trigger a playbook on alert with the Inactive VM alert policy. By doing this, they can create a custom category to group and identify the inactive VMs and use a custom alert policy to trigger a playbook that can perform automated actions on them, such as powering them off, deleting them, or sending notifications. This is based on the general practices in managing VMs in a multicloud environment, as well as the specific features and requirements of Nutanix X-Play and Nutanix Calm. References:

NEW QUESTION # 40
A director would like to have an up to date Cluster Efficiency Summary report emailed on the first of every month to keep management up to date on how the cluster is being utilized.
How could a playbook be configured to satisfy this request with the least human interaction?
- A. Manual Trigger > Generate Report > Email
- B. Manual Trigger > Wait Until Day of Month > Generate Report > Email
- C. Report Trigger > Wait Until Day of Month > Email
- D. Time Trigger > Generate Report > Email
Answer: D
Explanation:
A time trigger is a type of playbook trigger that allows the user to specify a schedule for running a playbook.
This trigger is useful for automating tasks that need to be performed periodically or at a specific time. A manual trigger requires the user to initiate the playbook execution manually, which is not ideal for a recurring task. A report trigger is a type of playbook trigger that allows the user to run a playbook when a specific report is generated. However, this trigger does not guarantee that the report will be generated on the first of every month, as it depends on the report settings. A wait until day of month action is a type of playbook action that pauses the playbook execution until a specified day of the month. This action is unnecessary if the playbook already has a time trigger that specifies the desired schedule.

NEW QUESTION # 41
An administrator has built a Playbook to run a Powershell script in a VM when a specific alert is generated.
Several days later, the alert is generated, but the script does not execute and there are no Plays recorded for the Playbook.
What is causing this issue?
- A. The version of Playbooks is not correct for the version of Prism Central.
- B. The path to the script was not correct.
- C. The script executed, but closed with an error code.
- D. The Playbook was never enabled.
Answer: D
NEW QUESTION # 42
A company wants to ensure that all developers are able to request new development environments on demand by using ServiceNow.
The administrator notices that even though developers create new environments, they rarely remove these environments when moving on to new assignments. Today, the administrator has gone into Prism Central to check when the VM was created, in order to reach out to the developer and ask if it can be deleted. The administrator has accidentally deleted the wrong VM in the past.
Which two methods can the administrator use to automate this task to avoid deleting the incorrect VMs?
(Choose two.)
- A. Create a playbook webhook trigger to delete the VM from a ServiceNow approval flow.
- B. Create a playbook REST API trigger to delete the VM from a ServiceNow approval flow.
- C. Create a playbook webhook action to delete the VM from a ServiceNow approval flow.
- D. Create a playbook REST API action to delete the VM from a ServiceNow approval flow.
Answer: C,D
Explanation:
A playbook REST API action allows the administrator to send an HTTP request to a specified endpoint, such as the Prism Central API, to perform an operation, such as deleting a VM. A playbook webhook action allows the administrator to send a payload to a specified URL, such as a ServiceNow webhook, to trigger an event, such as an approval flow. Both of these actions can be used to automate the deletion of VMs from a ServiceNow approval flow, where the developers can request and confirm the removal of their environments.
A playbook webhook trigger and a playbook REST API trigger are not valid options, as they are used to initiate a playbook based on an external event, not to perform an action within a playbook.
