NCP-EUC Dumps With Exact Questions and Answers

Nutanix Prism Central features the Security Dashboard (previously known as Security Planner), which is the designated interface for monitoring and managing the security posture of the environment.

This dashboard specifically scans and reports on Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs), including CPU and memory-related vulnerabilities (such as Spectre, Meltdown, and L1TF) affecting the AHV hosts and CVMs. It provides a consolidated view of the "Protection Status" across all registered clusters and guides the administrator on the necessary software versions (LTS/STS) or Life Cycle Manager (LCM) updates required to remediate these specific hardware-level security risks.

When migrating Machine Creation Services (MCS) non-persistent (pooled) environments to Nutanix, it is not efficient or recommended to migrate the individual worker VMs using migration tools like Nutanix Move. These VMs are ephemeral clones that are deleted or reset upon reboot.

The correct architectural procedure is to migrate the Master Image (Gold Image). The administrator should replicate the base image VM to the Nutanix cluster (using Nutanix Move or Data Protection replication), install the necessary Nutanix drivers (VirtIO) and the Citrix VDA, and then snapshot this migrated image. This snapshot is then used by the MCS service to redeploy a fresh catalog of worker VMs native to the Nutanix AHV infrastructure. This ensures all clones are properly linked to the new storage architecture and avoids the overhead of moving disposable data.

The Prism Central Playbook Action is a tool that allows you to automate tasks based on triggers, such as events, alerts, or webhooks. You can define a series of actions (called a playbook) that perform operations on your infrastructure, such as adding or reducing resources on a VM2.

To use the Playbook Action for VMs, you need to meet some prerequisites, such as:

The Prism Central version must be 2020.11 or later.

The AOS version must be 5.15 LTSR or later.

The hypervisor must be AHV or ESXi.

The VMs must have Nutanix Guest Tools (NGT) installed and enabled3.

One of the possible reasons why the Playbook Action is no longer being triggered is that the virtual desktop CPU Usage alerts were not cleared. According to the Prism Central guide3, “If an alert has been triggered once and has not been cleared yet, then it will not trigger any action again until it has been cleared”. Therefore, if the CPU Usage alert remains active for a virtual desktop, it will prevent the Playbook Action from adding more vCPUs to it.
