Nutanix NCP-EUC Exam With Confidence Using Practice Dumps

Shadow Clones are a feature of the AOS storage that enables distributed caching of virtual disks (vDisks) that are read by multiple VMs on different nodes. This can improve performance and reduce network traffic in scenarios such as VDI deployments.

Therefore, if Shadow Clones were disabled, it could cause delays in the deployments of VD’ desktops, as they would have to read the vDisk from a remote node instead of a local cache.

According to Nutanix AHV support documentation for Windows 11, the operating system enforces strict hardware requirements for installation and booting. These mandatory requirements include:

UEFI firmware (Legacy BIOS is not supported).

Secure Boot enabled.

vTPM (Virtual Trusted Platform Module) version 2.0.

Credential Guard is a security feature (Virtualization-Based Security) available in Windows 11 that protects credentials, but it is not a mandatory requirement to successfully install or boot the operating system. While Nutanix AHV supports Credential Guard, an administrator can validly exclude it from the minimum requirements list needed just to get the VMs running, whereas excluding vTPM, UEFI, or Secure Boot would cause the OS installation or boot process to fail.

non-persistent VDI machines are deleted when they are rebooted, logged off, or shut down. Therefore, Windows Update policy should be configured to prevent automatic updates that may trigger a restart on these machines1.
