1. An administrator is testing the failover scenarios from a source availability zone (AZ1) to a destination availability zone (AZ2).

The administrator successfully performs an unplanned failover from AZ1 to AZ2. The administrator then immediately tries to use the unplanned failover option to fail the VM back to AZ1, but does not see the VM listed under Recovery Plan.

What could be the cause?

Recovery Plan is not bi-directional.

Replication is not yet successful from AZ2 to AZ1.

Clean up of Entities is needed to perform failback.

Unplanned failover cannot be used to failback VMs.

2. An administrator has set up asynchronous replication between the Marseille and Paris clusters for the VMs in the FIN-PROD storage container. After a planned production failover from Paris to Marseille, the administrator noticed that the VMs were scattered across all the storage containers in the Marseille cluster.

Which statement is true regarding this scenario?

The recovery plan did not contain a valid network mapping.

The recovery plan did not contain a valid storage mapping.

The FIN-PROD storage container does not exist on Marseille cluster.

A storage policy is setup on the Paris cluster and missing on the Marseille cluster.

3. The Disaster Recovery dashboard in Prism Central shows that the protection domain is out of sync and new recovery points are no longer being created at the recovery site. No recent changes were made to the protection policy configuration or RPO settings.

During initial troubleshooting, an administrator has observed the following:

Production VMs are running normally at the primary site.

The recovery cluster is reachable from Prism Central.

No storage capacity alerts are seen on either cluster.

A recent network change was implemented to enable network segmentation between clusters.

New firewall rules were introduced recently as part of a security hardening effort.

Which action should the administrator take first when evaluating this issue?

Delete and recreate the protection policy immediately.

Verify if network segmentation was enabled while replication was running.

Manually trigger a failover to re-establish replication.

Increase the RPO frequency setting in order to generate additional recovery points.

4. An organization uses a Recovery Plan to protect a SQL Cluster that relies on Volume Groups (VGs). The VGs are configured with hypervisor attachments. The administrator executes a Planned Failover to migrate the SQL Cluster to the Recovery Site.

The Failover task completes successfully, but the database administrators report that the database is offline.

What is the possible cause of this issue?

An administrator failed to configure Protection Domains replication.

VGs configured with hypervisor attachments do not reattach automatically after recovery.

VGs cannot be protected by Recovery Plans.

An administrator failed to configure mapping for the Storage Network in the Recovery Plan.

5. A Veeam backup job is configured to use Nutanix application-consistent snapshots for several Windows VMs. Crash-consistent snapshots succeed, but Veeam reports that application-consistent snapshots fail with errors related to VSS processing.

Upon investigation, the administrator confirms:

The VMs are powered on.

Network connectivity between the backup server and cluster is healthy.

Which configuration should the administrator verify to resolve the issue?

Enable incremental backups on the VMs.

Ensure NGT is installed on the VMs.

Increase the snapshot retention count.

Configure synchronous replication.

6. What is the expected outcome that the administrator must manage?

The primary site will continue to serve I/O locally to prevent downtime, while the secondary site remains in standby.

The secondary site will acquire the lock after a built-in delay, and the primary site will halt all I/

The Witness will automatically shut down the secondary site to protect data integrity on the primary site.

Both sites will attempt to acquire the lock, but the primary site will acquire the lock and continue to serve I/O locally to prevent downtime.

7. After performing a failover of encrypted AHV VMs from an on-premises AZ to a recovery AZ, an administrator notices that newly written data is not encrypted.

Which post-failover cleanup task must be performed to correct this issue?

Enable replication traffic encryption.

Reassign storage policies and categories.

Reconfigure the replication schedule.

Recreate the recovery plan and categories.

8. An administrator is configuring Disaster Recovery between an on-prem availability zone (AZ) and an NC2 cluster hosted in a public cloud. The business requires cross-cluster live migration between on-prem and NC2 without IP changes.

Which configuration must be satisfied to meet this requirement?

Linear retention configured on the protection policy

Layer 2 stretching between on-premises and the cloud

Matching subnet names between on-premises and the cloud

Synchronous replication configured

9. An administrator notices that VM replication from ClusterA to ClusterB fails consistently at the same point during the replication job.

The following observations are noted by the administrator:

The Prism dashboard shows the replication job failing during snapshot creation.

ClusterB storage pool and container usage is under 80%, well below capacity.

Network latency/Pings between ClusterA and ClusterB averages 3ms, with occasional spikes to 25ms.

VM event logs indicate frequent I/O timeout errors during the replication window.

Both clusters are running compatible AOS versions.

What is the most likely cause for the failing replications?

Misconfigured/Overlapping replication schedules.

Insufficient cluster storage on Cluster

Required Nutanix TCP replication ports are blocked.

Network instability impacting snapshot replication.

10. An administrator performed an unplanned failover from AZ1 (primary) to AZ2 (recovery). Later, AZ1 is restored and the administrator wants to fail back the entities to AZ1.

Which two statements are correct? (Choose two.)

Failback uses the same recovery plan, but the failover operations for failback must be performed at the primary A

Unplanned failover to AZ1 can use recovery points that were created locally in the past at AZ1, even if no recovery points replicate back from AZ2.

After unplanned failover, replication begins in the reverse direction, and failback success depends on recovery points being replicated back from AZ2 to AZ1 after failover.

After unplanned failover, failback success depends on recovery points being created locally on AZ1 before outage.

11. What must an administrator verify before starting a migration of entities from a protection domain to a protection policy?

The entities must be added to a category in Prism Central.

The recovery plan must be active.

The entities must have no ongoing replication tasks.

A full backup of the protection domain must be completed.

12. An organization uses Nutanix Disaster Recovery with automatic virtual network creation in the Nutanix Cloud AZ.

After a successful failback operation from the Nutanix Cloud AZ to the on-premises site, what is the expected behavior regarding the dynamically created virtual networks at the recovery site?

Converted into production networks for use in the future

Automatically cleaned up when no longer required

Must be manually deleted by the administrator

Remain active until the billing cycle ends

13. Refer to the exhibit.





An administrator is configuring Metro Availability in their environment, as shown in the diagram.

What issue in the configuration will prevent Metro from working correctly?

The Witness VM is located in a third site.

The latency between Site 1 and Site 2 is too high.

Each site should have a Witness V

The latency from the Witness VM to both Site 1 and 2 is too high.

14. An administrator finds replications for Marketing VMs are failing to replicate.

After doing some digging the administrator was able to find the following:

Connectivity was confirmed on ports 2020 and 2009 between the clusters

All other VMs are replicating successfully

Cluster wide storage has plenty of remaining space

No firewall exists between the sites

Marketing VMs are running Windows, successful VMs are running Linux

What could be causing the Marketing VMs to fail replications?

Linux VMs are set up with a container mapping on the remote site.

Marketing VMs are replicating using Async instead of NearSync.

Marketing VMs are replicating to a container with zero free space.

Linux VMs are replicating using Async instead of NearSync.

15. After a failover and stabilization of workloads at the recovery AZ, an administrator removes several VMs from the protection policy because they are no longer required.

Which action should be performed as part of post-failover cleanup to prevent unnecessary storage consumption?

Recreate the recovery plan.

Reconfigure the replication schedule.

Delete the associated recovery points.

Disable Nearsync replication.

16. During routine monitoring, an administrator notices that replication from the primary Nutanix cluster to the recovery cluster has stopped. New recovery points are not being created, and the DR dashboard shows replication errors.

Investigation reveals:

The primary and recovery clusters are both online and healthy.

Network segmentation was recently enabled to isolate replication traffic from other workloads.

No recent changes were made to firewall rules, protection policies or RPO settings.

Which action should the administrator take first to investigate the replication failure?

Delete and recreate the protection policy to reset replication.

Increase the RPO interval setting in order to reduce the replication load.

Verify required ports are open and reachable between clusters.

Perform a test failover at the recovery site.

17. An administrator intends to configure a NearSync replication schedule with a 15-minute Recovery Point Objective (RPO) on a hybrid 3-node cluster. The current nodes in the cluster are configured with one SSD and four HDDs each.

Which cost-effective modification is required to support this specific replication schedule?

Replace the HDDs with NVMe drives to support the IOPS requirement.

Configure the cluster with a minimum of four nodes.

Increase the Controller VM (CVM) memory to 64 G

Add a second SSD to each node to meet the minimum requirement.

18. A Protection Policy is configured with a Nearsync replication schedule (15-minute RPO). An administrator observes that the system has temporarily transitioned to an hourly replication schedule.

Which scenario would cause this automatic transition from Nearsync to Asynchronous (hourly) replication?

The Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure license expired.

The bandwidth is insufficient for the change rate.

A new VM was added to the protection category, triggering a full initial sync.

A Test Failover operation is currently running on the recovery site.

19. An administrator needs to provide leadership with a report showing the timeframe of each step during Recovery Plan failover testing.

How should the administrator produce this report?

Filter the Events log in Prism Central for Recovery Plan activity.

Review the built-in execution report from the test failover results.

Generate a custom report within Prism Central Intelligent Operations.

Use ncli on a CVM to query Recovery Plan execution history.

20. An administrator is concerned about the operational overhead of manually creating and managing categories across both the primary and recovery sites to ensure Recovery Plans function correctly during failover and failback.

What Nutanix Disaster Recovery behavior minimizes this concern?

Categories only need to be configured at the recovery site since that is where failover operations are executed.

Categories must be manually replicated using the Prism Central API between sites to ensure consistency.

Recovery Plans replicate categories only during an active failover event to minimize replication traffic.

Categories are automatically synchronized to the recovery site AZ when they are specified in a Recovery Plan.

21. An organization requires strict control over data destruction. An administrator configures an Approval Policy for DR snapshots to prevent accidental deletion. A user attempts to delete a recovery point protected by this policy.

What is the immediate outcome of this deletion attempt within the Prism Central interface?

The operation is blocked, and an email notification is sent to the super-admin for review.

The operation triggers an approval request, which changes the action status to "Pending Approval".

The snapshot is marked for deletion but remains recoverable for 24 hours in the recycle bin.

The operation fails immediately with an "Access Denied" error message.

22. An organization requires a maximum data loss of 15 minutes for a Tier-1 application running on Nutanix AHV.

Which configuration best meets this requirement?

Async replication every 1 hour

Nearsync replication with 15-minute RPO

Manual snapshot once per day

Async replication schedule every 15 minutes

23. An administrator protects workloads between two ESXi clusters using asynchronous (async) replication.

After failover, VMs power on successfully but are placed in the default folder and resource pool instead of their original vSphere folders.

Why did this occur?

Protection Domains must be recreated on the cluster.

vCenter server permissions were not configured correctly.

Async replication doesn't preserve inventory mapping.

Snapshots were not consolidated before failover.

24. An administrator recently expanded a Nutanix cluster by adding several new nodes. Shortly after, multiple backup jobs began failing.

The following error is consistently reported:

Failed to perform backup: Cannot complete process 'iscsiadm --mode discovery --type sendtargets -- portal X.X.X.X' within timeout

What is the most likely cause of the failure?

Firewall ports 3502 and 3620 are missing to the new nodes.

Firewall ports 3202 and 3206 are missing to the new nodes.

Firewall ports 3302 and 3360 are missing to the new nodes.

Firewall ports 3205 and 3260 are missing to the new nodes.

25. An administrator executes an Unplanned Failover of web server VMs from an on-premises AZ to a Nutanix Cloud Cluster (NC2) on AWS. The Recovery Plan completes, and the VMs are running. However, external users cannot access the websites hosted on these VMs. The administrator verifies that the firewall rules are set correctly.

What specific configuration is required for these VMs to be reachable from the external network after failover to NC2?

The administrator must enable Promiscuous Mode on the NC2 virtual switch.

Floating IP addresses must be configured for the guest VMs.

A VPN connection must be established between the NC2 cluster and the external users.

The VMs must be migrated to a stretched L2 subnet.

26. An administrator needs to provide the QA team with a VM state from four days ago to test an older browser version. However, the current production VM contains new application code and security patches that must not be deleted or overwritten.

Which restore operation should the administrator perform to meet this requirement?

Disk-level Attach from Snapshot

Self-Service Restore (SSR)

In-place Restore (Revert)

Out-of-place Restore (Clone)

27. An administrator incorrectly used the "Activate" functionality on the PD to test failover of VMs from production to DR cluster. The VMs were successfully restored on the DR side.

What steps are needed to clean up the VMs on the DR side and resume normal operations on the Production cluster?

Use the Activate functionality on the production cluster.

Deactivate PD and destroy VMs on the production cluster.

Manually delete the VMs on the DR cluster.

Deactivate PD and destroy VMs on the DR cluster.

28. An administrator is managing a mission-critical Inventory-VM that is part of a Protection Domain (PD) named PD_Production.

Monday: A scheduled snapshot of PD_Production is successfully taken.

Tuesday: Due to a configuration error during a cleanup task, the administrator accidentally removes Inventory-VM from the PD_Production Protection Domain. The VM continues to run, but it is no longer being snapped or replicated.

Wednesday: A database corruption occurs on Inventory-VM. The administrator finds the local snapshot from Monday and performs an In-place Restore (Revert) to recover the data.

Following the successful completion of the In-place Restore, what is the status of Inventory-VM regarding its data protection?

The VM is restored, but it is placed into a new, system-generated PD named Restored_Entities.

The VM is restored to Monday's data state and is automatically added back into the P

The VM is restored to Monday's data state but remains outside of any P

The restore fails because the VM is no longer a member of the PD that owns the snapshot.

29. What must the maximum Round Trip Latency be less than between a Witness VM and Metro Availability PDs?

5ms

100ms

200ms

500ms

30. When designing a Disaster Recovery strategy to an NC2 cluster using MST, which technical limitation impacts the Recovery Plan and workload compatibility?

The "Zero Compute" configuration requires manual restoration of workloads (automated failover is not supported), and MST currently only protects AHV VMs.

To ensure resilience on NC2, both MST DR and "Cluster Protect" features must be configured simultaneously on the same cluster.

Automated failover is natively supported in the "Zero Compute" configuration but strictly requires configuring an external IPAM to manage and reassign IP addresses.

The "Pilot Light" configuration allows to select multiple on-premise clusters as sources within a single protection policy to automate the failover of AHV and ESXi VMs.

31. An administrator is planning a scheduled maintenance window that will temporarily interrupt network connectivity between the primary and recovery sites. Several Tier 1 VMs are protected with a Synchronous replication Protection Policy.

What must the administrator do before beginning the maintenance window to prevent these VMs from becoming unresponsive without making RPO changes?

Execute an Unplanned Failover to move the VMs to the recovery site before the maintenance window begins.

Manually pause Synchronous replication in Prism Central before the maintenance window begins.

Change the Protection Policy from Synchronous to Asynchronous replication prior to the maintenance window.

Update the Synchronous replication policy to enable manual failover handling.

32. Which file system is supported on Linux VMs for Self-Service Restore?

EXT4

NTFS

EXT

VFAT

33. A company's two clusters are part of the same availability zone. Prism Central, which holds the protection policy configuration and recovery plans, is located on Cluster A and protected by the Prism Central Backup and Restore mechanism.

What is the first step to take to execute a disaster recovery plan on the datacenter hosting Cluster A?

Restore the Prism Central instance from Prism Element on the surviving cluster.

Deploy a new Prism Central instance on the surviving cluster and register the cluster to it to access the replicated VM snapshots.

Log into Prism Element on the surviving cluster and execute the Recovery Plan.

Access the Prism Central web interface via its Floating IP to trigger the "Unplanned Failover" workflow for the affected VMs.

34. While attempting to execute a Commvault backup plan, an administrator received the following error for several VMs:

Virtual Machine not found

After confirming the VMs exist, the administrator digs deeper and finds the following related error message:

Event Code 91:4 Virtual machine [Nutanix-Web-Server] was not found. Please verify that the virtual machine still exists and that the host is in the connected state. If the virtual machine does not exist remove it from the subclient. If the virtual machine does exist reselect the virtual machine and re-add it to the subclient content.

Which action should the administrator take to enable successful backups?

Ensure primary and recovery clusters are not registered to the same KM

Ensure the VM is created with local Key Management Server (KMS).

Upgrade Nutanix Guest Tools (NGT) on the VM to the latest version.

Ensure Virtual Trusted Platform Module (vTPM) is disabled on the VMs.

35. A sudden and unrecoverable hardware failure occurs at the primary site, making the Prism Element console for that cluster inaccessible. The secondary site is healthy and contains the latest replicated snapshots.

Which action must the administrator take on the secondary cluster to restore the VMs?

Select the Protection Domain and click Activate.

Restart the local Cerebro service and wait for the VMs to power on.

Select the Protection Domain and click Migrate.

Create a new Protection Domain and import the snapshots.

36. An administrator has been tasked with configuring a Nutanix replication solution that provides an RPO of zero.

Which solution should the administrator choose?

Synchronous Replication

Nearsync Replication

Async Replication

Cloud Connect

37. Which log file should an administrator review to ensure consistent connectivity stability between primary and remote disaster recovery sites?

mantle.out

genesis.out

prism_monitor.INFO

cerebro.INFO

38. How does Nutanix Disaster Recovery automatically handle Container Mapping if a storage container with the same name does not exist at the recovery Nutanix cluster?

The data is temporarily kept in the SSD tier of the remote site pending intervention.

The system automatically creates a new Storage Container with the same name on the remote site.

The initial replication fails and generates a critical alert requiring manual mapping in Prism Central.

The recovery points replicate to a random storage container at the recovery Nutanix cluster.

39. What must be installed on a guest VM prior to enabling Self-Service Restore?

Post_Thaw Scripts

NGT

Pre_Freeze Scripts

VirtIO

40. An organization has two Nutanix clusters managed by a single Prism Central (PC) instance. They intend to implement Synchronous Replication between the sites. During a failover test, the administrator notices that automatic failover does not occur when the primary site's storage becomes unavailable.

What is the most likely cause of this behavior based on an analysis of the requirements?

The RTT is likely more than 5ms, which disables automatic failover.

Automatic failover is only supported when the clusters are managed by two different PC instances.

Synchronous replication does not automatically failover without a Witness.

Automatic failover is only supported for network outages and not for storage outages.
