QuestionQ64

Configure Disaster Recovery and Data Protection within a Nutanix Multicloud Environment

An administrator manages Nutanix DR configuration and testing. During a cross-hypervisor (ESXi-to-AHV) DR test, the Recovery Plan fails and the guest VMs do not recover at the DR site.

Which configuration is necessary for the event to succeed?

  • A Utilize delta disks.
  • B Use raw device mappings.
  • C Nutanix Guest Tools must be installed on source guest VMs.
  • D Deploy Legacy BIOS boot on hosts within the cluster.
Explanation

Nutanix Guest Tools (NGT) must be installed and configured on the source guest VMs for cross-hypervisor disaster recovery. NGT provides the guest drivers required for VM portability between ESXi and AHV, enabling the recovered VMs to boot on AHV. Nutanix documentation identifies NGT as facilitating cross-hypervisor disaster recovery.
