Question 1

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?

ADelete and recreate the protection policy immediately.

BVerify if network segmentation was enabled while replication was running.

CManually trigger a failover to re-establish replication.

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

Answer : B

Question 2

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?

AUse the Activate functionality on the production cluster.

BDeactivate PD and destroy VMs on the production cluster.

CManually delete the VMs on the DR cluster.

DDeactivate PD and destroy VMs on the DR cluster.

Answer : D

Question 3

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?

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

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

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

DUpdate the Synchronous replication policy to enable manual failover handling.

Answer : C

Question 4

Two AHV clusters are 4 ms RTT apart. The business requires:

0 RPO

Automatic failover

No application performance degradation

Hybrid HCI nodes with 100 TB capacity

What storage configuration must be validated before enabling synchronous replication?

AMinimum one SSD per node

BNo SSD requirement for synchronous replication

CMinimum two SSDs at 10% capacity per node

DOnly HDD capacity matters

Answer : A

Question 5

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?

AProtection Domains must be recreated on the cluster.

BvCenter server permissions were not configured correctly.

CAsync replication doesn't preserve inventory mapping.

DSnapshots were not consolidated before failover.

Answer : C

Question 6

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

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

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

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

DThe '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.

Answer : C

Question 7

An administrator logs into Prism Central (PC) and notices that a replication of a recovery point is still ongoing from Cluster A to Cluster B on a new setup.

The bytes being replicated aren't changing.

Both site's virtual IP addresses are reachable.

Connectivity between PC/PE is good.

There is a dedicated LAN between the clusters.

What could be causing this replication to be stuck?

AAcropolis is down at the Remote Site.

BProtection Policy is incorrectly configured.

CPort 2020 is blocked between CVMs.

DPort 2030 is blocked between CVMs.

Answer : B
