NCS-CORE practice question 24 of 35
After a consultant runs Foundation, the imaging process fails. In which two locations can the consultant find the logs? (Choose two.)
Full set: 302 questionsWhen a Foundation imaging process fails, logs can be retrieved from two primary locations. The most accessible method is through the Foundation web UI, which provides a "Logs" link to download a comprehensive logarchive.tar.gz file. For direct access, if a standalone Foundation VM is being used to perform the imaging, the logs are stored in the /home/nutanix/foundation/logs directory on that VM. These logs are essential for diagnosing the root cause of the failure.
A. The hypervisor (e.g., AHV, ESXi) does not run the Foundation service; therefore, its logs are not stored on the hypervisor's local file system.
D. While logs are on a CVM if imaging from an existing cluster, the path is case-sensitive (/home/nutanix/..., not /home/Nutanix/...). Also, the Foundation VM is the source for new installations.
1. Nutanix Foundation Documentation, "Troubleshooting Foundation," section "Log Collection." It states: "You can download the log files from the Foundation UI... Alternatively, you can find the logs in the /home/nutanix/foundation/logs directory of the Foundation VM."
2. Nutanix University, "Nutanix Cluster Installation and Foundation" courseware, Lab Guide. The troubleshooting steps in the lab guide direct students to collect logs either via the UI link or by SSHing into the Foundation VM at the specified path.
