Nutanix Certified Professional - Multicloud Automation (NCP-MCA) v6.5 Exam Questions and Answers
Which feature of Calm allows for the creation of task-based automation against dynamic lists of Windows or Linux VMs?
A company is new to automation and has infrastructure they would like to automate with Calm to provide standardized automation. The company also wants to create a Hybrid Cloud environment with their existing infrastructure which includes AHV, Azure, AWS, and a small legacy vSphere environment.
In which two locations can Calm be deployed? (Choose two.)
A DevOps team created a Calm blueprint that includes the scale-out of the application layer (made with Linux VMs). Now the DevOps team would like to automate the scale-out using a third-party tool so they can further automate the CI/CD environment with a single command.
Which action should the administrator take to accomplish this task?
A blueprint service needs to use scaling. The requirements are:
Windows 2019 VM (12 vCPU, 24 GB memory, 500 GB volume)
Minimum VMs needed at any time and at time of deployment is 2 VMs
VMs should not exceed the project quota of 100 vCPUs or 300 GB of memory
There are no other services in use within the project
Which scaling VM replica settings meet all requirements?
A developer updated a blueprint to ensure that the IP address of the VM is reserved in IPAM as part of the deployment process. The developer noticed that when new VMs are created, they still get a DHCP IP address and not a reserved IP address.
What is the most likely reason for this behavior?
Refer to the exhibit.
What needs to be done in order to enable the developer to complete this requested task? (Choose two.)
An administrator manages a Nutanix cluster with 630 VMs, all of which are in production.

Upon further investigation, the Calm administrator was unable to run the script manually on a VM and discovered that elevated permissions were needed.
Which command should the administrator add to the script?
An administrator has a vendor-provided script that must be run at 9 am every Saturday on a Linux application VM.
The administrator currently has a playbook that has a Time trigger and a VM SSH action to execute the script. However, the administrator has received a request to have the output of the script emailed to the application team when it is executed.
What is the easiest way to satisfy this request?

The application is processor intensive, so it should only run outside of business hours. The VM has the ability to send REST API calls to Prism.
How should the administrator configure a Playbook to satisfy the needs of this process with minimal external interaction?
An administrator is trying to deploy a VM from an image onto a newly-built cluster, but the image is unavailable. The administrator is able to deploy the image onto other clusters with no issue. Image placement policies have already been created within Prism Central.
