Nutanix Support has asked an administrator to provide an NCC output, but there is no access to the command line. What should the administrator do to provide the requested NCC output?

To generate and send a Nutanix Cluster Check (NCC) report without using the command line, the administrator must use the Prism web console. The correct procedure is to navigate to the Health Dashboard, which is the central location for monitoring cluster wellness and running diagnostic checks. From the Actions menu in the Health Dashboard, the administrator can initiate the NCC checks. To email the resulting report, an SMTP server must be configured in the Prism settings, a configuration that is also used for sending alerts.

A. Run Health Checks in the Alert Dashboard and enter an email to send it to.

Health checks are initiated from the Health Dashboard, not the Alert Dashboard, which is used for viewing and managing existing alerts.

C. Run Health Checks in the Event Dashboard.

The Event Dashboard is for viewing a log of cluster events and tasks, not for running diagnostic health checks.

D. Configure email in Alert Settings and Run Health Checks in the Alert Dashboard.

This is incorrect because health checks are run from the Health Dashboard, not the Alert Dashboard.

1. Nutanix Prism Web Console Guide v6.5: In the "Health Monitoring" chapter, section "Running Health Checks," the procedure is explicitly stated: "Log on to the Prism web console. From the main menu (pull-down list), select Health. In the Health dashboard, click the Actions button and select Run NCC Checks from the drop-down list." This confirms the action takes place in the Health Dashboard.

2. Nutanix Cluster Check (NCC) Guide v4.6.5: The section "Running NCC from Prism Element" states: "You can run NCC from the Health dashboard in the Prism Element web console... In the Health page, click Actions > Run NCC Checks." This directly supports that the Health Dashboard is the correct location.

3. Nutanix University: Nutanix Hybrid Cloud Fundamentals Course v6.5 Student Guide: Module 6, "Cluster Health," details the features of the Health Dashboard. It describes this dashboard as the interface for running health checks (NCC) and viewing their results, distinguishing its function from the Alert and Event dashboards.
