Nutanix Exam NCP-MCI Topic 1 Question 19 Discussion

Actual exam question for Nutanix's NCP-MCI exam
Question #: 19
Topic #: 1
[All NCP-MCI Questions]

An administrator initially performed a cluster Foundation using a flat switch without any VLAN configuration. After the Foundation, the administrator moved the dual 25Gb data ports and single 1Gb IPMI port to the actual switches with the below network configurations:

. All VLANs are tagged

. VLAN 1000 for CVM\Hypervisor traffic

* VLAN 1001 for User VM traffic

. VLAN 100 for IPMI traffic

After moving the IPMI network links, the administrator can no longer ping the IPMI IPs.

Which two changes does the administrator need to make? (Choose two.)

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A, C

The issue described pertains to the inability to ping the IPMI IPs after moving the IPMI network links to the actual switches with specific VLAN configurations. The two changes that the administrator needs to make are:

A . SSH to AHV and set the VLAN ID using IPMI Tool: Since all VLANs are tagged in the new network configuration, the IPMI network interface needs to be aware of the VLAN it's supposed to communicate on. This can be achieved by setting the VLAN ID using the IPMI Tool on the AHV.

C . SSH to AHV and change the IP address using IPMI tool: If the IPMI IP addresses were initially set in a different subnet that is not routable in the new network configuration, the administrator would need to change the IPMI IP addresses to match the new network configuration. This can be done by SSHing to the AHV and using the IPMI Tool to change the IP address.

The admin must have used the IPMI tool to order a pizza instead of configuring the network. I'd go with B and D just to be safe.

Wait, the admin moved the IPMI port but forgot to move the admin's caffeine intake too? Looks like they need to restart their brain before the network!

Hmm, I'm torn between B and D. Restarting Genesis might be the nuclear option, but it could work. Still, I'd try the network services first.

Hold up, did the admin forget to configure the IPMI port VLAN? That's a rookie mistake, but at least it's an easy fix with option A.

Option B) SSH to CVM and restart network services on all host.

I believe the administrator should also SSH to CVM and restart network services on all hosts as the second change.

I agree with Thurman. Changing the VLAN ID using IPMI Tool should fix the issue.

I think C is the right answer. Changing the IPMI IP address using the IPMI tool should resolve the connectivity issue.

Option B makes the most sense. Restarting the network services on the hosts should reconnect the IPMI ports to the correct VLAN.

I agree. Restarting network services on hosts is a good first step to troubleshoot the issue.

Option B makes sense. Restarting network services should help reconnect IPMI ports to correct VLAN.
