QuestionQ86

Configure Disaster Recovery and Data Protection within a Nutanix Multicloud Environment

An administrator has been directed by the company’s leadership to justify and explain the decision to use the new Nutanix Disaster Recovery solution.

The environment includes:

  • 100 workloads
  • Workloads with different boot orders
  • Workloads across multiple subnets
  • Workloads across different business units

How should the administrator organize and manage the workloads most efficiently?

  • A Utilize a VM naming schema that allows sorting.
  • B Utilize RESTful APIs to script creation of Recovery Plans.
  • C Utilize a 1:10 ratio of Recovery-Plan to VMs.
  • D Utilize Categories to organize VMs in Recovery Plans.
Explanation

Nutanix Categories are logical tags for grouping VMs by shared attributes such as application, business unit, or recovery requirements. They scale workload classification and support disaster-recovery policies and recovery plans, whose configuration can define network/IP mapping and VM power-on sequencing. This accommodates differing boot orders, multiple subnets, and business-unit boundaries without depending on VM names or an arbitrary recovery-plan-to-VM ratio. Nutanix documents Categories as logical VM groupings and identifies recovery plans as the place for network mapping and power-on sequencing.
