Question 1

Which statement describes the automatic detachment timeout period for a snapshot disk mounted to a VM using the Nutanix Guest Tools (NGT) Self-Service Restore (SSR) feature?

AThe snapshot disk will remain attached in read-only mode until the VM is rebooted, at which point the AHV hypervisor will automatically strip all temporary SSR mounts.

BThe disk will be automatically detached during the next scheduled Stargate background scan or Curator full scan (typically within 6 hours).

CThe system enforces a built-in timeout; if the user does not manually detach the disk from the VM, it is detached automatically by the system after 24 hours.

DThe disk remains permanently attached to the VM until an administrator manually detaches it via Prism.

Answer : C

Question 2

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?

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

BThe VM is restored to Monday's data state and is automatically added back into the PD.

CThe VM is restored to Monday's data state but remains outside of any PD.

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

Answer : C

Question 3

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?

ALinear retention configured on the protection policy

BLayer 2 stretching between on-premises and the cloud

CMatching subnet names between on-premises and the cloud

DSynchronous replication configured

Answer : B

Question 4

An organization is finalizing its Disaster Recovery (DR) plan. The primary objective is to balance cost-efficiency with a target RTO of under 15 minutes. Data currently resides in Object Storage, but the team is debating between a Zero Compute approach and a Pilot Light approach.

Why would a Pilot Light infrastructure be selected over a Zero Compute model despite the higher "Moderate" cost?

AOnly model that allows for a 'Power-On' recovery trigger.

BLowest cost option available for long-term idle infrastructure.

CFaster recovery due to metadata and cluster already existing.

DEliminates the need for any Object Storage (S3/Blob) costs.

Answer : C

Question 5

An administrator notices that the link between the source and destination clusters gets overutilized during recovery point replication. The company secured a new 10G connection between the two clusters.

What configuration should the administrator use so that the replication traffic uses the new 10G link?

AConfigure Flow Rules.

BConfigure Network Segmentation for DR.

CConfigure Network Segmentation for Volumes.

DConfigure Backplane Network.

Answer : B

Question 6

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 7

An administrator plans to migrate guest VMs from a legacy Protection Domain--based DR plan to the Prism Central--based Disaster Recovery solution.

What should be done first before removing the legacy protection domains?

ADelete all legacy snapshots associated with the Protection Domains.

BMigrate the VMs from Protection Domains to Protection Policies.

CRecreate recovery plans in Prism Element.

DPerform a planned failover to the recovery AZ.
