Q15. 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?

Q16. 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?

Q17. Which two Data Protection technologies are compatible with Self-Service Restore? (Choose two.)

Q18. Exhibit:

An administrator wants to protect the snapshots created on the cluster. Only authorized users should be allowed to modify or delete the snapshots on the cluster. How can the administrator harden the security of the snapshots?

Q19. An administrator configures disaster recovery between an on-premises AZ and a Nutanix Cloud AZ. After enabling DR and assigning protection policies to several VMs with volume groups, the administrator initiates failover and notices the VMs do not have their volume groups attached. Investigation reveals:
* The clusters are successfully paired in Prism Central.
* Protection policies and replication schedules are configured correctly.
* Recovery plan validation completes successfully.
* Required firewall ports between sites are confirmed open.
* Management IP addresses are reachable in both directions.
Despite this, the administrator observes the volume groups are still not attached. Which network-related prerequisite is most likely misconfigured?

Q20. An administrator has received the following alert:

Replication was skipped for protection domain < Protection Domain Name > of the latest snapshot < Snapshot ID > to remote site < Remote Cluster Name > . Replication was skipped as a newer Recovery Point was available snapshots that may have been skipped.
The administrator begins gathering troubleshooting information and determines the following:
* The VM has been replicating to this cluster successfully for at least 6 months
* The bandwidth has been sufficient to this point and hasn ‘ t caused an issue before
* Network connectivity is good and all necessary ports remain open and reachable
* There aren ‘ t hardware issues, and software is up to date
What else could have caused this alert?

Q21. 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?

Q22. 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?

Q23. After a storage failover in a synchronous replication environment, users report higher I/O latency and degraded performance compared to pre-failover levels. Cluster health is normal, and replication is functioning correctly. Which post-failover cleanup action could the administrator perform to correct the performance issue?

Q24. An administrator executes an Unplanned Failover. The VMs recover at the Recovery Site and are powered on.
However, the application owners report that the VMs are completely isolated and cannot communicate with any other services on the network. The administrator checks the Recovery Plan and notices the Network Mapping section was left blank.
What is the expected configuration for VMs recovered without a valid Network Mapping?

Q25. 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?

Q26. 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?

Q27. 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?

Q28. 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?

Q29. What must be installed on a guest VM prior to enabling Self-Service Restore?
