Dell D-AXAZL-A-00 Dumps (V9.02) for 2026 – Pass Your Dell AX System for Azure Local Implementation Achievement Exam

1. A Solution Architect is designing the networking for a multi-site Azure Local deployment. The customer's legacy data center switches do not support Data Center Bridging (DCB) or DCBX. However, the customer requires RDMA functionality for high-performance storage replication between the nodes at each site.

Which of the following design decisions allows the architect to meet the requirement given the hardware constraints? (Select all that apply.)

2. Why is relying on standard Windows Update an Anti-Pattern for maintaining VSR compliance on Dell AX nodes? (Choose 2.)

3. A Cloud Solution Architect is designing a registration workflow for a "Private Link" enabled environment. The architect needs to ensure the agent uses the Private Link Scope (AMPLS) instead of public endpoints.

Which flag must be added to the azcmagent connect command to enforce this behavior during the initial connection?

4. A Systems Integrator is performing a "Fusion" validation of the OS Time Zone defaults versus the Cluster requirements.

- Seed 1 (OS Default): A fresh installation of Azure Stack HCI OS defaults to Pacific Standard Time (PST).

- Seed 2 (Cluster Req): The cluster will span two sites: London (GMT) and Paris (CET).

# PowerShell Time Check

PS C:> Get-TimeZone

Id: Pacific Standard Time

BaseUtcOffset: -08:00:00

# Cluster Requirement

All nodes must use UTC to simplify log correlation across time zones.

What is the operational risk if this default is not changed before forming the cluster? (Choose 2.)

5. A Deployment Engineer is configuring a new environment where direct internet access is restricted. The team decides to use a non-transparent proxy server for all Azure Local traffic.

Which of the following practices represents a configuration Anti-Pattern that will lead to deployment failure or instability? (Choose 2.)

6. A Systems Integrator is troubleshooting a "Fusion" issue involving HCL Compliance and Cluster-Aware Updating (CAU).

- Seed 1 (HCL): The cluster is running on valid hardware, but the NVMe drives have firmware version 1.0.0 (Old).

- Seed 2 (CAU): The administrator attempts to apply a new Solution Builder Extension (SBE) update via Windows Admin Center.

# CAU Log Snippet

[INFO] Analyzing Cluster Readiness...

[WARN] Node-01: Storage Drive Firmware Mismatch.

[DETAIL] Drive: NVMe-Slot-1. Current: 1.0.0. Target in SBE: 1.2.0.

[ACTION] CAU will attempt to remediate this during the maintenance window.

# Result

[FAIL] Update failed. Node-01 stuck in "Draining" state.

[ERROR] Firmware update task timeout.

Based on the interaction between the HCL check in the SBE and the CAU orchestration, what are the likely causes of this timeout? (Select all that apply.)

7. A Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) initiates a Cluster-Aware Updating (CAU) run on a 4-node Azure Stack HCI cluster using Windows Admin Center.

Midway through the update of Node-02, the CAU run pauses and eventually fails with the error: "Node maintenance mode could not be determined."

What is the most likely operational cause for this specific failure?

8. Which PowerShell command is the programmatic equivalent of using sconfig Option 7 to enable Remote Desktop (RDP) connections on a Server Core node?

9. 1.An Implementation Engineer is preparing a PowerShell script to automate the Azure Arc registration of multiple Azure Local nodes.

The engineer defines the following variables at the start of the script:

$SubscriptionId = "aaaaaaaa-bbbb-cccc-dddd-eeeeeeeeeeee"

$TenantId = "11111111-2222-3333-4444-555555555555"

$ResourceGroup = "rg-azl-cluster-01"

$Location = "eastus"

What is the primary purpose of defining these variables before executing the registration command?

10. A Network Administrator is navigating the sconfig menu on Node-01 to configure the management interface.

Which numeric option must the administrator select to initiate the configuration of a Static IP address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway?

11. What is the primary operational difference between using "Device Code" flow versus a "Service Principal" when registering Azure Local nodes with Azure Arc?

12. An Infrastructure Manager is configuring the CAU Run Profile for a critical production cluster. The goal is to ensure that even if updates fail on one node, the cluster availability is never compromised.

Which advanced CAU parameter should be configured to strictly enforce that the update process stops immediately if a single node fails to update, preventing a cascading failure across the cluster?

13. A Systems Integrator attempts to run Invoke-AzStackHciEnvironmentChecker against remote nodes Node-01 and Node-02. The command fails immediately with an authentication error related to "Double Hop".

What is the required remediation to allow the tool to validate remote nodes from a management workstation?

14. An Enterprise Architect is deciding between "Dedicated" and "LOM" (LAN on Motherboard) modes for iDRAC connectivity in a high-density environment where cabling reduction is a priority.

Which of the following statements correctly describe the trade-offs and risks associated with choosing LOM mode (shared port) over Dedicated mode? (Select all that apply.)

15. A Site Reliability Engineer is diagnosing a performance issue on an Azure Local cluster using RoCEv2 RDMA. The storage throughput drops significantly during high load, and the switch port counters show a high number of "Discards" or "Drops".

The engineer verifies that Priority Flow Control (PFC) is enabled on the OS network adapters for Priority 3.

What is the most likely cause of the packet drops on the switch side?

16. An Implementation Engineer logs into the console of a newly imaged Dell AX node running Azure Stack HCI (Server Core). The engineer needs to perform the initial IP address assignment and hostname configuration using the built-in interactive menu tool.

Which command should the engineer type at the command prompt to launch this text-based utility?

17. An Enterprise Architect is documenting the procedure for obtaining the "Tenant ID" (Directory ID) required for the Azure Arc registration script. The architect navigates to the Azure Portal.

Which specific blade or service view in the Azure Portal provides the definitive GUID representing the Azure Active Directory (Entra ID) Tenant ID?

18. A Systems Integrator is analyzing a "Fusion" issue where RDP access to a specific node is lost every time the Cluster-Aware Updating (CAU) cycle completes.

- Seed 1 (Local Config): The integrator manually enables RDP via sconfig.

- Seed 2 (Policy): The node is onboarded to Azure Arc and assigned a "Security Baseline" policy.

# Event Log (Security)

Event 4719: System Audit Policy was changed.

Event: Registry value 'fDenyTSConnections' changed from '0' to '1'.

User: SYSTEM (Azure Guest Configuration Service)

# Azure Policy Assignment

Policy Name: "Windows Server Security Baseline"

Parameter: "Allow RDP" = "Disabled" (Default)

Based on the interaction between the manual configuration and the Azure Policy, what is the root cause and the correct remediation? (Select all that apply.)

19. A DevOps Engineer encounters the error code AZCM0016 during an automated onboarding sequence.

[Error] AZCM0016: The resource group 'rg-cluster-nodes' was not found.

[Context] Subscription: 'sub-123', Location: 'eastus'

The engineer verifies that the Service Principal has "Contributor" rights on the Subscription.

Why did the command fail?

20. A Dell Solutions Consultant is preparing a registration script for a client who uses multiple Azure Directories. The consultant needs to ensure the script retrieves the Subscription ID from the correct context.

- The user account is a Guest in "Tenant A" and a Member in "Tenant B".

- The target subscription "Sub-XYZ" exists in "Tenant B".

The consultant runs az login followed by az account show. The output shows tenantId matching "Tenant A".

What command must the consultant run next to switch the context and retrieve the correct Subscription ID for "Sub-XYZ"?

21. Case Study 2: The "Zombie" Node Mystery

A Senior Support Engineer is troubleshooting a 4-node cluster. Node-03 was physically replaced due to hardware failure. The node was re-imaged, renamed to Node-03, and joined to the domain.

When attempting to add Node-03 back to the cluster (Add-ClusterNode), the operation fails immediately.

However, Get-ClusterNode on the active cluster shows only Node-01, 02, and 04. Node-03 is not in the list.

On Node-03 itself, Get-ClusterNode returns "The term 'Get-ClusterNode' is not recognized" (Cluster feature not installed yet).

What "Ghost" configuration is blocking the add operation?

22. A Systems Integrator validates the DNS Dynamic Update settings for the Active Directory zone.

- Zone: contoso.com

- Dynamic Updates: "Secure only"

- Issue: The Cluster Name Object (CNO) fails to register its IP address in DNS after a failover.

What is the likely permission issue in Active Directory DNS?

23. A DevOps Engineer runs the azcmagent connect command using a Service Principal but receives an "Authorization Failed" error.

[Error] The client 'guid-1111' with object id 'guid-2222' does not have authorization to perform action 'Microsoft.HybridCompute/machines/write' over scope '/subscriptions/sub-123/resourceGroups/rg-nodes/providers/Microsoft.HybridCompute/machines/Node-01'.

[Code] AuthorizationFailed

What is the root cause of this error?

24. A Systems Integrator is verifying the connectivity prerequisites for a new Azure Local cluster deployment. The Environment Checker tool reports a warning regarding "Token Endpoint Connectivity".

- Seed 1 (Time Sync): The node's system time is skewed by +15 minutes relative to the NTP server.

- Seed 2 (Auth Endpoint): Connectivity to login.microsoftonline.com is verified as Open (TCP 443).

# Environment Checker Output

[PASS] Network: login.microsoftonline.com (Reachable)

[FAIL] Auth: Token Acquisition Test

[DETAIL] Status: 400 Bad Request

[DETAIL] Message: AADSTS500133: Assertion is not within its valid time range.

# System Time Check

Local Time: 2026-02-15 10:15:00

NTP Time: 2026-02-15 10:00:00

Based on the interaction between the System Time and the Authentication requirement, why is the token acquisition failing despite network connectivity being successful? (Select all that apply.)

25. An IT Operations Analyst is configuring Azure Monitor Insights for a newly deployed Azure Stack HCI cluster.

Which specific Azure extension must be installed on the nodes to collect the performance counters (CPU, Memory, Disk Latency) required to populate the "Insights" workbooks?
