An administrator deploys an NC2 cluster in Azure and uses 10.100.0.0/16 for one of the VNets.
The cluster is configured as follows:
* 8 nodes
* Prism Central Deployed
* Files Deployed
Following the deployment, the administrator experiences network connectivity issues. Which reason explains the connectivity issues?
Correct Answer:
B
✑ Network Configuration: Using a specific IP range for a VNet can cause conflicts if that range is reserved or already in use by the cluster??s internal operations.
✑ Internal Usage: In NC2, certain IP ranges are reserved for internal cluster functions and should not be used for VNets to avoid IP conflicts and connectivity issues.
✑ Impact: If the 10.100.0.0/16 range is reserved for internal usage, using it for a VNet would lead to IP conflicts, causing network connectivity issues.
✑ Verification: It??s important to verify the reserved IP ranges in the NC2 documentation before assigning them to VNets.
✑ Conclusion: The connectivity issues are likely due to using the 10.100.0.0/16 range, which is reserved for internal cluster usage.

An administrator has been asked to create a cluster to support new workloads.
What are the maximum number of nodes supported in an NC2 on Azure environment?
Correct Answer:
B
✑ NC2 Cluster Node Limit: NC2 on Azure has specific limitations regarding the maximum number of nodes supported in a single cluster.
✑ Maximum Nodes: According to the current NC2 on Azure guidelines, a single cluster can support up to 18 nodes.
✑ Workload Support: This limitation ensures optimal performance and management of resources within the Azure environment.
✑ Comparison of Options:
✑ Conclusion: For supporting new workloads, the maximum number of nodes in an NC2 on Azure environment is 18.

An administrator is tasked with preparing the company's Azure subscription for use with NCZ.
Which two Azure Resource Providers need to be registered? (Choose two.)
Correct Answer:
BC
✑ Azure Resource Providers: To prepare an Azure subscription for NC2, specific resource providers must be registered to enable necessary services and resources.
✑ Required Providers:
✑ Other Providers:
✑ Conclusion: Registering both "Microsoft.Network" and "Microsoft.Nutanix" ensures that all necessary network and Nutanix-specific resources are available for NC2 deployment.

An administrator wants to ensure that enough available bandwidth exits for workloads running in an NC2 on Azure cluster environment.
What is the highest number of Flew Gateway VMs that can be deployed within this environment?
Correct Answer:
D
✑ Flow Gateway VMs: Flow Gateway VMs are used to manage and route network traffic within an NC2 on Azure cluster, ensuring sufficient bandwidth for workloads.
✑ Scalability: To ensure enough available bandwidth, multiple Flow Gateway VMs can be deployed.
✑ Maximum Limit: The highest number of Flow Gateway VMs that can be deployed within an NC2 on Azure environment is 6, providing the necessary capacity to handle high traffic volumes and ensure optimal performance.
✑ Conclusion: Deploying up to 6 Flow Gateway VMs ensures adequate bandwidth for NC2 workloads.

An administrator needs to ensure API calls are executing successfully from NC2 to manage
Azure resources.
Which cluster outbound to Azure connections are required to satisfy this task?
Correct Answer:
D
✑ API Key Management:For NC2 to manage Azure resources successfully, it needs to authenticate and authorize API calls. This is typically handled through API keys, which are managed via specific endpoints.
✑ Required Connection:The endpointapikeys.nutanix.comis crucial for managing these API keys. Ensuring connectivity to this endpoint allows NC2 to verify and utilize the API keys needed for interacting with Azure services.
