QuestionQ55

Configure Disaster Recovery and Data Protection within a Nutanix Multicloud Environment

An administrator must develop a Prism Central Recovery Plan for 50 workloads that will receive new IP addresses and must use a new DNS server when the workloads are instantiated at the Disaster Recovery (DR) location.

What is the best way to accomplish this?

  • A Update DNS settings on production VMs prior to execution of Recovery Plan.
  • B Utilize recovery Plan to bring VMs online at DR and then manually login to each VM and update IP/DNS.
  • C Install Nutanix Guest Tools, this will allow Re-IP and automatically assign updated DNS server(s).
  • D Enable scripting within Recovery Sequence & utilize custom script per VM.
Explanation

Nutanix Disaster Recovery in-guest scripts automate guest-side recovery configuration, including reassignment of DNS IP addresses. Therefore, a Recovery Sequence with guest scripts is required to apply the DR IP address and DNS-server settings during instantiation; Nutanix Guest Tools alone does not automatically assign the new DNS servers. Nutanix’s Prism Central infrastructure material specifically identifies in-guest scripts for reassigning DNS IP addresses during DR recovery.
