When multiple alert policies are applied to an entity, Nutanix uses a hierarchical approach. Policies applied toan entity type within a categorytake precedence. For example:

If a category (e.g., "Production") has policies applied to entities like VMs, and the entity matches that category, the category-specific policy will override general policies.

This prioritization allows administrators to fine-tune alert policies for specific workloads or environments.

To remove old VM snapshots, the task should be completed from theVM dashboardin Prism Element. This dashboard allows administrators to manage virtual machine-related operations, including snapshot creation, deletion, and restoration. Steps include:

Navigate toPrism Element > VM.

Select the VM for which snapshots need to be deleted.

Click onSnapshots, then delete the selected snapshots.

To rerun only the health checks that previously failed or issued warnings, the administrator can select theOnly Failed and Warning Checksoption in Prism Element. This targeted approach helps verify that resolved issues have been addressed without rerunning all checks unnecessarily.

Steps:

Navigate toPrism Element > Health > NCC Checks.

Filter forOnly Failed and Warning Checksand rerun them.

Other options:

A. Run LCM Pre-Upgrade: Runs pre-upgrade checks, not related to health check validation.

B. Runncc health_checks run_all: Executes all checks, not just failed ones.

C. Select Run Check for each check worked: Requires manual execution for each check.

Replication Factor (RF) defines the number of copies of data stored in a Nutanix cluster. RF2 ensures two copies of data, and RF3 ensures three copies. This redundancy allows the system to maintain data integrity and recoverability even in the event of hardware failures.

A. It limits the scope of hardware failures during recovery operations:Incorrect, as RF focuses on data replication, not limiting failure scopes.

B. It ensures that multiple copies of data are available for recovery:Correct, as RF directly relates to data redundancy and recovery capabilities.

C. It accelerates data transfer to remote backup sites:Incorrect, as RF does not affect remote backup speed.

D. It reduces the need for offsite backup solutions:Incorrect, as RF works within the cluster, not as a replacement for offsite backups.
