QuestionQ17

Configure Disaster Recovery and Data Protection within a Nutanix Multicloud Environment

A Disaster Recovery administrator has configured a Protection Policy for 50 workloads, all set up similarly in terms of OS, storage, network, and performance. The RPO is 60 minutes, with a specified retention of 10 local copies, 5 remote copies, and crash consistency.

After configuring and activating the Protection Policy, the administrator notices that recovery points are not appearing in DR. However, everything in the Protection Policy appears correct, and recovery points are appearing on the production side.

What is the most likely issue?

Explanation

A 60-minute RPO uses asynchronous replication. Crash-consistent recovery points do not require Nutanix Guest Tools, and neither guest OS updates nor matching storage-container replication factors is required for this replication workflow. DR container mapping relies on the protected workload’s storage-container identity; a differently named target container prevents the expected matching container mapping and can leave remote recovery points unavailable at the DR site.
