Nutanix Certified Services – Core v6.8 (NCS-Core) — Question 23

What should a consultant consider when completing a bare-metal imaging process?

Answer options

• A. Connect to a managed switch with routing tables to protect the production environment against configuration errors.
• B. Enable STP by using PortFast or an equivalent feature on the ports that are connected to the Nutanix host.
• C. Avoid connecting any device to the node USB port that presents virtual media such as a CD-ROM.
• D. Ensure that the CD-ROM appears last in the BIOS boot order to avoid Foundation timeout.

Correct answer: B, C

Explanation

Option B is correct because enabling STP with PortFast on connections to the Nutanix host helps prevent loops in the network during the imaging process. Option C is also correct as connecting virtual media can interfere with the imaging process. Options A and D are less relevant to the bare-metal imaging process itself.
