An administrator has been tasked with deploying an NC2 cluster on AWS with the requirement to protect workloads.
Which two options are valid to protect the workloads on this cluster? (Choose two.)

  1. Deploy one-node cluster in another availability zone.
  2. Create a second NCZ cluster in a different availability zone.
  3. Use an existing on-prem Nutanix cluster as a disaster recovery target.
  4. Deploy a cluster across two availability zones.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

To protect workloads on an NC2 cluster on AWS, deploying strategies that ensure high availability and disaster recovery are essential. The two valid options are:
Create a Second NC2 Cluster in a Different Availability Zone:
High Availability: Deploying a second NC2 cluster in a different availability zone ensures that workloads can be quickly recovered in case of an availability zone failure. Disaster Recovery: This setup enables asynchronous replication between clusters, providing a robust disaster recovery solution.
Use an Existing On-Prem Nutanix Cluster as a Disaster Recovery Target:
Hybrid DR: Leveraging an existing on-premises Nutanix cluster for disaster recovery provides a cost- effective and efficient DR solution.
Replication: Set up replication policies to ensure data is consistently copied from the NC2 cluster on

AWS to the on-premises cluster.
Why Not Other Options:
One-node cluster in another availability zone: Not a valid DR solution as a single-node cluster cannot provide the required resilience and high availability. Deploy a cluster across two availability zones: While this can enhance availability, it is not a typical approach for Nutanix clusters which are designed to operate within a single availability zone for simplicity and performance reasons.

Exhibit.



An administrator is attempting, but failing to create an NC2 cluster in AWS. The administrator checks the configuration in the NC and notices the configuration shown in the exhibit.
What action should the administrator take to resolve the issue?

  1. Recreate the AWS CloudFormation stack.
  2. Create a new cloud account in the organization.
  3. Restart Genesis on a Prism Central instance.
  4. Grant the administrator's account access to the NC2 organization.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

The exhibit shows two cloud accounts, one for Azure and one for AWS, with their statuses indicated. The AWS cloud account status is marked as "U" (which likely stands for "Unavailable" or "Unreachable"). This indicates that the AWS cloud account configuration is not properly connected or accessible.

Status Check:
The AWS cloud account is marked with an "U" status, meaning it is not active or accessible. This status prevents the creation of an NC2 cluster because the necessary cloud resources cannot be allocated or managed without a proper connection.
Action:
The best course of action is to create a new cloud account in the organization. This involves setting up the cloud account details correctly and ensuring it is properly configured to communicate with Nutanix and AWS.
Steps to Create a New Cloud Account:
Log in to the Nutanix console.
Navigate to the "Organizations" section.

Select "Add Cloud Account" and provide the required AWS credentials and permissions. Ensure the new cloud account is active and correctly configured.

An administrator has been tasked with ensuring NC2 VMs are able to access AWS resources. The NC2 VM traffic must not traverse the internet.
in which two ways would the administrator achieve this? (Choose two.)

  1. By using a Gateway Endpoint
  2. By using a NAT Gateway.
  3. By using an Interface Endpoint
  4. By using a VPC Peer.

Answer(s): C,D

Explanation:

To ensure that NC2 VMs can access AWS resources without traversing the internet, the administrator can use AWS VPC Peering and Interface Endpoints. Both methods ensure that traffic stays within the AWS network, maintaining security and efficiency.
Interface Endpoint:
Interface Endpoints allow you to privately connect your VPC to supported AWS services. They use AWS PrivateLink to route traffic directly to services within the AWS network, bypassing the public internet.
Steps:
Create an interface endpoint for the required service in the AWS VPC console. Ensure the security groups and route tables are configured to allow traffic to the interface endpoint.
VPC Peering:
VPC Peering allows the routing of traffic between VPCs using private IP addresses, without the need for internet gateways, NAT devices, or VPN connections.
Steps:
Create a VPC peering connection between the VPCs.
Update the route tables to direct traffic between the peered VPCs. Ensure security group rules allow the necessary traffic between VPCs.

During the recovery of entities protected by Cluster Project, an administrator discovers that the recovery plan is not executing correctly because it exceeds the number of supported entities. How many entities can be recovered using a Single recovery plan?

  1. 100
  2. 200
  3. 300
  4. 400

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

The Nutanix disaster recovery capabilities include recovery plans that define how entities are recovered in the event of a failure. There is a limit to the number of entities that can be managed within a single recovery plan.
Entity Limit:
According to Nutanix documentation, the maximum number of entities that can be recovered using a single recovery plan is 300. Exceeding this limit will cause issues during the execution of the recovery plan.
Impact of Exceeding the Limit:
If the number of entities in a recovery plan exceeds the supported limit, the recovery process may fail or not execute correctly, as observed in the scenario.
