QuestionQ48

Configure Disaster Recovery and Data Protection within a Nutanix Multicloud Environment

An administrator is collaborating with a local network engineer to design the network architecture for a Disaster Recovery (DR) failover.

Because DNS is well designed and implemented, DR will use a different subnet than production. To make planning and execution easy to implement, the network engineer wants to use the same last octet in DR.

What is the best way to accomplish this?

  • A Utilize Recovery Plan Offset-based IP mapping.
  • B Utilize a custom script to update the IP address after instantiation in DR.
  • C Log into the VMs after the DR event and update the IP address last octet.
  • D Setup IPAM so the address can be dynamically assigned during DR.
Explanation

Recovery Plan offset-based IP mapping automatically maps a VM’s address to the recovery subnet while preserving its host offset, such as the last octet. This provides predictable, orchestrated IP changes during failover without manual VM changes or custom scripting.
