Nutanix Exam NCP-MCI Topic 4 Question 29 Discussion

Actual exam question for Nutanix's NCP-MCI exam
Question #: 29
Topic #: 4
[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.

This question is a real brainteaser! I bet the correct answer involves a lot of technical jargon that I'm not even familiar with. *scratches head*

A) Setting the VLAN ID using the IPMI tool? Interesting idea, but I'm not sure that's the right approach here. The VLAN configuration should be handled at the switch level.

D) Restarting Genesis on all CVMs? That's a bit overkill, don't you think? I'd go with the network services option.

C) Changing the IP address using the IPMI tool doesn't sound right. The issue is likely with the VLAN configuration, not the IP address itself.

B) Restarting network services on the CVM seems like the obvious choice here. The administrator needs to ensure that the IPMI network is properly configured and connected to the correct VLAN.

I believe the administrator should also SSH to CVM and restart network services on all hosts to ensure proper connectivity.

I agree with Robt. Changing the VLAN ID for IPMI traffic should resolve the ping issue.
