Nutanix Certified Professional – Multicloud Automation (NCP-MCA) — Question 3

Prism Central reporting indicates that there are multiple memory-constrained VMs in multiple clusters. The target VMs have Memory Hot Add enabled.
Using X-Play, in what order should the Playbook actions be added to ensure the VMs are properly remediated?

Answer options

• A. VM add Memory, Take a VM Snapshot, Resolve Alert
• B. Take a VM Snapshot, Power Off VM, VM Add Memory, Resolve Alert, Power on VM
• C. Take a VM Snapshot, VM add Memory, Resolve Alert
• D. Power off VM, Take a VM Snapshot, VM add Memory, Resolve Alert

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Option C is correct because it efficiently addresses the memory issue by first creating a snapshot to preserve the VM state, then adding memory, and finally resolving the alert. Options A and B include unnecessary steps, such as powering off the VM, which can cause downtime, while option D also requires a power-off, making it less efficient than option C.
