According to the scenario, the administrator is preparing to migrate data from a legacy storage environment to a new Files scale-out file server in a way that meets the following requirements:

Number of home directories: 4000

Number of Departmental shares: 1

Everyone is permitted to access it

All users use the same Departmental share

The administrator deploys Files using the following configuration:

Number of FSVMs: 3

VCPU & RAM/FSVM: 4VCPU, 12GB

One Distributed share with SSR & ABE enabled for the Home Directories

One Standard share for the Departmental share

Based on this configuration, it appears that the project's requirements are satisfied. The configuration provides a Distributed share for the home directories, which is recommended when there is a large number of files or directories, and this will distribute the load across multiple FSVMs. Note that everyone is permitted to access it.

In addition, the configuration provides a Standard share for the Departmental share, and since all users use the same Departmental share, this will not create any performance issues. Therefore, the correct answer is B, 'Yes, the listed configuration elements satisfy the requirements'.

According to the  Nutanix Files SMB Migration Guide 1 , Nutanix Files supports SMB protocol V2 and V3 1 .  SMB is a native protocol for Nutanix Files that allows file sharing between Windows clients and servers 1 .

According to Nutanix Support & Insights 1 , Access-based enumeration (ABE) is a Windows feature that filters the list of available files and folders on the file server to include only those the requesting user can access. ABE can be enabled on a per-share basis for SMB shares.

Therefore, if the Files administrator wants to ensure that users in the accounting share can only see folders they have permission to access, they can enable ABE on the accounting share.

According to Nutanix Files :- Exports and Shares Basics 1 , “A distributed share is an SMB share or NFS export that can be hosted by multiple FSVMs. A distributed share can handle more concurrent sessions than a standard share.” Therefore, the administrator should create six distributed shares for each department to access its own shared namespace and handle 3,000 concurrent sessions.

According to Nutanix Objects User Guide 1 , an object store is a logical grouping of buckets that share a common namespace and configuration settings. A bucket is a container for objects that can be accessed by authorized applications and users using S3-compatible APIs.

Objects Storage provides a simple and scalable S3 compatible storage tier on top of your Nutanix AOS platform 2 .  There is no limit on objects per bucket 3 , but there is a limit on the total capacity of an object store that can be configured during its creation or modified later 4 .

Therefore, if an object store is shared with multiple users, it is possible that other users have written to the buckets in the object store and consumed its assigned capacity limit.
