QuestionQ92

Configure Disaster Recovery and Data Protection within a Nutanix Multicloud Environment

A company is assessing Nutanix Disaster Recovery to protect several business-critical applications. Some applications use a 3-tier architecture and have interdependencies.

An administrator has created a Protection Policy and Recovery Plan, added the VMs, and configured all necessary network mappings.

Following failover, the VM retains its static IP address. However, its DNS configuration is lost.

How should the administrator proceed?

  • A Configure a Protection Domain.
  • B Configure Self-Service Restore.
  • C Create custom in-guest scripts to preserve the statically assigned DNS IP addresses.
  • D Install Network Manager command-line tool (nmcli) in the protected Windows VMs.
Explanation

Static IP retention through network mapping does not ensure preservation of guest operating system DNS-server settings. Custom in-guest scripts in the recovery workflow can preserve or reapply the statically assigned DNS IP addresses after failover.
