1. Question #1

   Which three capabilities are provided by Virtual Interface Cards? (Choose three.)

   Select 3 answers.

   • A. Virtualizing object storage environments by pushing meta data directly to the management server
   • B. The virtual interfaces created by a VIC do not accommodate hypervisor communication like VMkernel interfaces on vSphere.
   • C. Management through Cisco IMC or UCS Manager with dynamic configuration of virtual interface cards based on the server profile (MAC/WWN).
   • D. Traffic processing for internal and external communication supporting simultaneous HBA and NIC operation on the same physical hardware.
   • E. Multiple-interface-card virtualization without any additional driver requirements with integration of the virtualized cards into the Fabric Interconnect infrastructure.
   • F. A virtual environment, such as VMware vSphere, provides VM connectivity via a virtual switch to individual virtual machines bypassing local hardware requests.

3. Question #3

   HyperFlex virtual servers differ from regular servers in which two key areas? (Choose two.)

   Select 2 answers.

   • A. NVMe: Regular servers do not support NVMe drives for high availability.
   • B. No RAID is required to consolidate disks into a shared data platform.
   • C. CVM: Virtual appliance, which performs reading/writing, caching, deduplication, and compression.
   • D. SP: UCS Service Profiles are used to delineate MAC address pools from upstream networks.
   • E. CCC: Cisco Cloud Center is used for multi-cloud integration and seamless deployment.

4. Question #4

   HyperFlex is tightly integrated into the Cisco portfolio, allowing which two powerful service integrations? (Choose two.)

   Select 2 answers.

   • A. Cloud mobility: CloudCenter enables workload mobility between HyperFlex and public and private clouds, including private cloud self-service infrastructure as a service (IaaS) capabilities
   • B. Application centric infrastructure: ACI enables faster deployment via End-Point Group integration of the HyperFlex clusters into existing application environments
   • C. Multi-cloud integration: Workloads are able to seamlessly migrate to platforms such as Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Platform
   • D. On-premise container platform: Cisco Container Platform automates repetitive tasks, such as installing Kubernetes and Docker, installing analytics tools, creating clusters, load balancing, curating the OS, and even updating the distribution
   • E. Data Center Network Monitor: This management platform enables administrators to monitor storage in the HyperFlex solution and provide real-time storage performance for the HyperFlex cluster

5. Question #5

   Which three additional management tools are included in HXDP to configure HyperFlex clusters? (Choose three.)

   Select 3 answers.

   • A. UCS Manager
   • B. Storage CLI
   • C. Data Center Network Manager
   • D. Cisco IMC 13
   • E. REST API
   • F. HyperFlex Connect

6. Question #6

   In all HX server types, where are capacity drives installed?

   • A. side
   • B. top
   • C. back
   • D. front
   Reveal Answer

7. Question #7

   Which two results are expected when you replace a node or expand a cluster? (Choose two.)

   Select 2 answers.

   • A. Distributed pooled data is migrated off nodes to master data store.
   • B. Affected node is marked as unhealthy and placed into standby mode
   • C. vSphere DRS migrates the virtual machines to the new node to balance the load
   • D. On node replace, the self-healing must finish for the cluster to be healthy
   • E. The cluster profile is updated and RAID takes care of rebalancing the load.
   Reveal Answer

8. Question #8

   With which three components must every HyperFlex cluster be equipped with in regard to disks? (Choose three.)

   Select 3 answers.

   • A. NVMe drives
   • B. there are no specific requirements
   • C. same type of cache drives
   • D. same type and size of capacity of drives
   • E. same number of capacity drives
   • F. SAS drives
   Reveal Answer

9. Question #9

   Which three configurations for read caching in Cisco HyperFlex are valid? (Choose three.)

   Select 3 answers.

   • A. Battery-Initiated Read-back (default): Only read data and most commonly used data are deposited in the Level 4 read-back cache
   • B. Write-back (default): Only write information and most commonly used information are deposited in the cache
   • C. Write-through (install option for VDI): Only most commonly used data is cached: optimizing VDI performance
   • D. No caching (SSD): With all-flash nodes; because there is little difference in read speeds between SSDs
   • E. Level 4 cached (SSD): With semi-flash nodes; there is a large difference in read speeds between SSDs
   • F. Write-first (default for VDI): Infrequently used data is cached: freeing system resources for VDI performance

10. Question #10

    Which two ways does Cisco HyperFlex upgrade the traditional RAID? (Choose two.)

    Select 2 answers.

    • A. HyperFlex enables stretched RAID arrays spanning multiple geographic sites.
    • B. Hardware replacement initiates self-healing with minimal impact
    • C. Limiting the number of drives locally, which are not a part of the shared datastore.
    • D. Distributing data locally, not just across the hosts in HyperFlex cluster
    • E. Eliminating the need for additional hardware cards, while maintaining high performance.
