Nutanix Certified Professional - Business Continuity (NCP-BC) 7.5

Question 1

A remote office deployment consists of a two-node Nutanix hybrid cluster. An administrator attempts to configure a protection domain with a 5-minute RPO (Nearsync) replicating to a central datacenter.
Why is the administrator unable to successfully configure this Nearsync schedule?

A. Nearsync replication requires a minimum of three nodes in the cluster.

B. Nearsync is only supported on All-Flash clusters, not hybrid models.

C. The minimum RPO supported for a two-node cluster is 15 minutes.

D. Two-node clusters require a Witness VM to enable Nearsync replication

Correct Answer: A

Question 2

An administrator configures a VM-VM Anti-Affinity policy for a web application cluster to ensure high availability. The application is protected by a Protection Policy in Prism Central. A failover occurs, moving the VMs to the recovery site.
What determines whether the VM-VM Anti-Affinity rules are active on the recovery site?

A. The rules are active only if the "Enforce Anti-Affinity" checkbox is selected in the Recovery Plan.

B. The rules are inactive because Anti-Affinity policies are not supported in Prism Central-based DR.

C. The rules are active only if the corresponding Anti-Affinity Policy exists on the recovery site.

D. The rules are automatically active because Anti-Affinity policies are intrinsic to the VM metadata replicated by Cerebro.

Correct Answer: B

Question 3

An administrator notices that storage utilization continues to increase at both the primary and recovery sites after implementing a third-party backup solution that uses protection policies.
Which configuration should be reviewed first?

A. Replication traffic encryption

B. Network segmentation

C. Retention settings in the backup solution

D. Recovery validation schedule in the backup solution

Correct Answer: C

Question 4

An administrator is planning to deploy some 2-node clusters and is reviewing data protection strategies for some of the critical VMs.
What can be the minimum RPO for these VMs?

A. 6 hour RPO

B. 1 minute RPO

C. 0 minute RPO

D. 1 hour RPO

Correct Answer: D

Question 5

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?

A. Generate a custom report within Prism Central Intelligent Operations.

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

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

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

Correct Answer: C

Question 6

An administrator is evaluating Nearsync for critical VMs in a Nutanix Disaster Recovery environment.
What is the minimum RPO, in minutes, supported by Nearsync replication?

A. 60

B. 0

C. 1

D. 15

Correct Answer: C

Question 7

An administrator has recently completed the initial configuration of Nutanix Disaster Recovery for a production environment. Protection Policies and Recovery Plans have been configured and validated by the senior infrastructure team.
The administrator has confirmed that the expected categories are correctly associated with both the Protection Policies and Recovery Plans. During a scheduled test failover, the administrator notices that several VMs are missing from the recovery.
The administrator reviews the environment and notes the following:
The Protection Summary tab does not show any warnings or errors
No replication tasks are currently ongoing
The missing VMs were all deployed within the last two weeks as part of a new application rollout The missing VMs are running on the same cluster as other VMs that recovered successfully during the test failover The application team followed the standard VM deployment checklist but did not coordinate with the infrastructure team during provisioning Given this information, what is the most likely cause of the missing VMs?

A. The newly deployed VMs were not assigned the correct categories during provisioning, so they were never included in the Protection Policy.

B. The Recovery Plans were not re-synchronized after the new VMs were deployed, causing them to be excluded from the test failover.

C. The Protection Policies experienced replication lag during the two-week period, resulting in incomplete recovery points for the newly deployed VMs.

D. The new VMs require an initial full replication before they are eligible to appear in a test failover.

Correct Answer: A

Question 8

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?

A. Reconfigure the replication schedule of the affected VMs.

B. Manually realign the compute and storage locations of the affected VMs.

C. Increase the snapshot retention period of the affected VMs.

D. Wait for Acropolis Dynamic Scheduler to rebalance the workloads of the affected VMs.

Correct Answer: B

Question 9

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?

A. The 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.

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

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

D. The 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.
