This assessment evaluates expertise in Nutanix Cloud Platform, including AHV, AOS, Prism management, REST API automation, and troubleshooting. It covers core architecture concepts such as cluster scalability, AHV vs. other hypervisors, and the role of Prism Central. Candidates will be tested on managing virtual machines using acli and Nutanix APIs, including modifying vCPU, memory, and storage configurations, as well as handling snapshots and clones. The test includes storage management topics like RF2 vs. RF3 replication, iSCSI and NFS integrations, and expanding storage without downtime. Networking and security sections assess knowledge of configuring VLANs, managing Nutanix Flow for microsegmentation, and troubleshooting connectivity issues. The exam combines conceptual questions, hands-on CLI/API tasks, and scenario-based troubleshooting to ensure proficiency in Nutanix environments.


Example Question:

Multiple-Choice
Which of the following Nutanix REST API requests will correctly migrate a VM to another storage container?

Option 1:
curl -X PUT -u admin:password \
"https://nutanix-cluster-ip:9440/api/nutanix/v3/vms/1234" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \

 "spec": {
  "resources": {
   "disk_list": [{
    "storage_container_uuid": "new-storage-container-uuid"
   }]

 }
}'

Option 2:
curl -X POST -u admin:password \
"https://nutanix-cluster-ip:9440/api/nutanix/v3/vms/1234/migrate" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
 "target_storage_container_uuid": "new-storage-container-uuid"
}'


Answers
1. Neither option works; Nutanix does not allow VM storage migration
2. Option 1 will correctly update the VM?s disk storage container while the VM is running
3. Option 2 will migrate the VM storage to a new container but requires the VM to be powered off
4. Both options perform a live storage migration without downtime
