NEW QUESTION # 74
Which two statements are true regarding the Nutanix public Github repository? (Choose two.)
- A. Nutanix provides a documented process to seed Github based scripts into the Calm Task Library.
- B. Nutanix publishes official vetted blueprints and tasks to Nutanix's public Github Calm repository.
- C. Nutanix provides documented processes to seed scripts from any source repository.
- D. Calm's public repository contains Nutanix-vetted custom scripts created and published by community members.
Answer: A,B
Explanation:
Nutanix provides a documented process to seed Github based scripts into the Calm Task Library, which allows users to import and use custom tasks from the Nutanix public Github repository or any other Github repository. This process is described in the Nutanix Calm DSL User Guide and the Nutanix Calm DSL Tutorial.
Nutanix also publishes official vetted blueprints and tasks to Nutanix's public Github Calm repository, which is located at https://github.com/nutanix/blueprints. These blueprints and tasks are created and maintained by Nutanix engineers and can be used as reference or templates for building Calm applications. Some examples of these blueprints and tasks are:
* Kubernetes Cluster: A blueprint that deploys a Kubernetes cluster on Nutanix AHV using Calm.
* MySQL HA: A blueprint that deploys a MySQL cluster with high availability on Nutanix AHV using Calm.
* Windows Server: A blueprint that deploys a Windows Server 2019 VM on Nutanix AHV using Calm.
* [Install Python]: A task that installs Python on a Linux VM using Calm.
Calm's public repository does not contain Nutanix-vetted custom scripts created and published by community members. These scripts are hosted in a separate repository called [Automation], which is a centralized repo for community driven Nutanix automation. These scripts are not officially supported or endorsed by Nutanix and may not be compatible with the latest versions of Calm or Nutanix products.
Nutanix does not provide documented processes to seed scripts from any source repository. Users can only import scripts from Github repositories using the Calm Task Library. Other source repositories are not supported by Calm.

NEW QUESTION # 75
An administrator wants to execute a post-create task that will trigger an API call to create a front end application.
Which task type should the administrator use?
- A. HTTP
- B. Simple
- C. Predefined
- D. eScript
Answer: A
Explanation:
A post-create task is a task that runs after a blueprint or runbook deployment is completed. A post-create task can be used to perform additional configuration or automation on the deployed resources. An HTTP task is a task that executes an HTTP request to a specified URL, with optional headers, body, and authentication. An HTTP task can be used to trigger an API call to another system or service, such as creating a front end application. A predefined task is a task that uses a predefined script or command to perform a common operation, such as installing a package or running a service. A predefined task cannot be used to trigger an API call to another system or service. An eScript task is a task that executes a custom script written in JavaScript or Python. An eScript task can be used to perform complex logic or operations that are not available in predefined tasks. However, an eScript task requires more coding skills and testing than an HTTP task. A simple task is a task that executes a simple command or script on the target VM or host. A simple task cannot be used to trigger an API call to another system or service. References:

NEW QUESTION # 76
An administrator has been tasked with automating the optimization of plays with the autopilot feature.
What must the administrator be aware of before configuring autopilot?
- A. Autopilot never waits for approvals.
- B. Autopilot feature only applies to metric-based alerts as triggers.
- C. Autopilot only applies to new playbooks.
- D. Autopilot will only attempt to apply the playbook a single time
Answer: A
Explanation:
Autopilot is a feature of Nutanix Calm that allows the administrator to automate the execution of playbooks based on predefined conditions or triggers. Autopilot can optimizethe performance, availability, and cost of applications by applying the appropriate actions in response to events or metrics. Before configuring autopilot, the administrator must be aware of the following limitations12:
* Autopilot never waits for approvals. This means that the administrator must ensure that the playbooks
* are tested and verified before enabling autopilot. Autopilot will execute the playbooks without any human intervention or confirmation.
* Autopilot feature only applies to metric-based alerts as triggers. This means that the administrator can only use metrics from the Nutanix Prism Central or the Nutanix Karbon clusters as the conditions for triggering the playbooks. Autopilot does not support other types of triggers such as schedules, webhooks, or manual triggers.

NEW QUESTION # 77
An administrator notices a Blueprint fails with the following error for Windows machines:
script execution has failed with error Process creation failed with error:1314 What is causing this issue?
- A. The Windows machine is in hung state.
- B. The Service is running with incorrect privileges to create a process.
- C. The firewall ports 5985 and 5986 are blocked.
- D. The credentials provided in the Calm Blueprint does not have sufficient privileges.
Answer: D
Explanation:
The error code 1314 indicates that the user does not have the required privilege to perform the requested operation. This means that the credentials provided in the Calm Blueprint are not valid or do not have enough permissions to run the script on the Windows machine. To fix this issue, the administrator should verify the credentials and ensure that they have the appropriate rights to execute the script, such as local administrator or domain administrator privileges.

NEW QUESTION # 78
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 a REST API
- B. A trigger based on an event
- C. A trigger based on an alert
- D. A trigger based on an email
Answer: B
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 # 79
Save Playbook
Given input is invalid. No existing secret params found. password cannot XXXXXXX have value.
An administrator is receiving the error shown in the exhibit while saving the Playbook.
What is causing this issue?
- A. The Playbook is cloned from another playbook with a password.
- B. The given credentials do not have the access for execution.
- C. Password Policy does not match for the given password.
- D. There are no saved credentials found in the Playbook.
Answer: A
Explanation:
The error message indicates that the password parameter is not a secret parameter, which means it is not encrypted and stored securely in the Calm database. This can happen when a Playbook is cloned from another Playbook that has a password parameter defined as a secret parameter. The cloned Playbook will inherit the password value from the original Playbook, but it will not be a secret parameter. To resolve this issue, the administrator needs to either delete the password parameter and create a new one as a secret parameter, or edit the password parameter and mark it as a secret parameter.

NEW QUESTION # 80
An administrator has a Linux VM that does batch processing out of a queue. Currently, a technician connects to the VM console and runs a command on the VM to initiate or terminate the batch processing application, as there is no programmatic interface for the application.
The application is processor intensive, so it should only run outside of business hours. The VM has the ability to send REST API calls to Prism.
How should the administrator configure a Playbook to satisfy the needs of this process with minimal external interaction?
- A. Manual Trigger > VM SSH > Wait for Some Time > VM SSH
- B. Time Trigger > VM SSH > Wait for Some Time > VM SSH
- C. Manual Trigger > Power On > VM SSH > Wait for Some Time > Power Off VM
- D. Webhook Trigger > REST API > Wait for Some Time > REST API
Answer: D
NEW QUESTION # 81
In order to give Consumers the ability to modify attributes, what should the Blueprint creator implement in the design?
- A. Runtime variables
- B. Custom actions
- C. HTTP task with built-in macros
- D. eScript task with custom macros
Answer: A
Explanation:
Runtime variables are variables that can be modified by the Consumer during the deployment of a Blueprint or after the deployment is complete. They allow the Consumer to customize the attributes of the infrastructure and applications according to their needs. Runtime variables can be defined in the Blueprint settings or in the Blueprint YAML file. They can also be used in the Blueprint tasks to pass dynamic values to the scripts or commands. Runtime variables can be of different types, such as text, number, boolean, list, or password. They can also have default values, constraints, and descriptions to guide the Consumer.

- C. Package
- D. Substrates
Answer: A
NEW QUESTION # 84
An administrator is tasked with creating a blueprint that can scale an application using Calm.
Which two actions should the administrator take to create and execute a scaling action? (Choose two.)
- A. Execute the scaling action in the Manage tab of the application.
- B. Create the action under the service profile section of the blueprint.
- C. Execute the scaling action in the Services tab of the application.
- D. Create the action under the application profile section of the blueprint.
Answer: B,D
Explanation:
To create and execute a scaling action using Calm, the administrator should create the action under the service profile section of the blueprint and the application profile section of the blueprint. The service profile section defines the properties and actions of each service in the blueprint, such as the VM configuration, the scripts to run, and the scaling parameters. The application profile section defines the properties and actions of the entire application, such as the number of instances, the dependencies, and the scaling triggers. The administrator can then execute the scaling action in the Overview tab or the Services tab of the application, depending on the scope of the scaling action. References:

NEW QUESTION # 85
A blueprint service needs to use scaling. The requirements are:
Windows 2019 VM (12 vCPU, 24 GB memory, 500 GB volume)
Minimum VMs needed at any time and at time of deployment is 2 VMs
VMs should not exceed the project quota of 100 vCPUs or 300 GB of memory There are no other services in use within the project Which scaling VM replica settings meet all requirements?
- A. MIN: 2, MAX: 7, Default: 2
- B. MIN: 2, MAX: 10, Default: 1
- C. MIN: 2, MAX: 11, Default: 2
- D. MIN: 2, MAX: 8, Default: 1
Answer: A
Explanation:
Scaling VM replica settings allow you to specify the minimum, maximum, and default number of VMs that can be created from a blueprint service. The minimum and default values must be equal to or greater than the number of VMs needed at any time and at time of deployment, which is 2 in this case. The maximum value must be equal to or less than the project quota divided by the VM resources, which is 100/12 = 8 for vCPUs and 300/24 = 12 for memory. The lowest of these two values is the limit for the maximum value, which is 8.
Therefore, the only option that meets all the requirements is B. MIN: 2, MAX: 7, Default: 2.

NEW QUESTION # 88
An administrator is trying to deploy a VM from an image onto a newly-built cluster, but the image is unavailable. The administrator is able to deploy the image onto other clusters with no issue. Image placement policies have already been created within Prism Central.
Why is the image unavailable for deployment on the cluster?
- A. The image does not have the proper category assigned for the placement policy,
- B. The image is corrupted.
- C. The image has not been directly uploaded to the cluster
- D. The cluster does not have the proper category assigned for the placement policy,
Answer: A,D
Explanation:
The image is unavailable for deployment on the cluster because the cluster and the image do not have the proper categories assigned for the placement policy. A placement policy is a set of rules that determines which clusters and images are available for VM deployment based on the categories and values assigned to them. If the cluster and the image do not match the placement policy criteria, they will not be shown as options for VM deployment. Therefore, the administrator needs to assign the appropriate categories and values to the cluster and the image to make them compatible with the placement policy.
