QuestionQ1

Section 4 – Managing an NC2-on-AWS Environment

An administrator is tasked with performing a test migration from an NC2 environment to a Nutanix on-premises environment.

Where should the administrator carry out this task?

Explanation

Nutanix Move provides test-migration and rollback capabilities. For a migration from NC2 to an on-premises Nutanix environment, the test migration is initiated through the NC2 Prism Central, which is the centralized management plane for the NC2 source environment and its migration workflow.

QuestionQ3

Section 3 – Configuring an NC2-on-AWS Environment

An administrator must allow wide-open access to one specific NC2 AWS cluster from the on-premises subnet 10.19.160.0/24.

What is the correct Custom Security Group formatting to meet this requirement?

Explanation

A cluster-level NC2 on AWS custom security group requires both tag:nutanix:clusters:external with an empty value and tag:nutanix:clusters:external:cluster-uuid with the target cluster UUID. These tags scope the security group to that particular cluster; the permitted on-premises CIDR is defined by the security-group rule itself.

QuestionQ4

Section 3 – Configuring an NC2-on-AWS Environment

An administrator has deployed a Prism Central (PC) instance on an NC2 on AWS cluster. The administrator is unable to add the cluster’s Prism Element (PE) to PC.

  • PC subnet: 10.78.1.0/24
  • PE subnet: 10.79.1.0/24

What should the administrator confirm to successfully add PE to the deployed PC instance?

Explanation

The User Management Security Group controls access to Prism Element services on the CVMs, so it must allow the required management ports from the Prism Central subnet. Because Prism Central is a UVM, its UVM Security Group must also allow Prism Central management-port traffic originating from the CVMs. The Internal Management Security Group is intended for internal AHV-to-CVM communication, not this PC-to-PE path.

QuestionQ5

Section 3 – Configuring an NC2-on-AWS Environment

While recovering entities protected by Cluster Protect, an administrator finds that the recovery plan is not running correctly because it surpasses the supported entity limit.

How many entities can a single recovery plan recover?

Explanation

A single Cluster Protect recovery plan supports recovery of up to 300 entities; exceeding that limit can prevent the recovery plan from executing successfully.
