Nutanix NCP-BC Exam - Topic 1 Question 16 Discussion

Question

An administrator is managing a Nutanix environment via Prism Central and has two VMs running on AHV:

"ERP-PROD": A mission-critical VM protected by a Synchronous replication schedule (0 RPO) to a secondary site.

"REPORTING-DEV": A non-critical VM protected by an Asynchronous replication schedule (hourly RPO) to the same secondary site.

Following a corrupted application update, the administrator decides to manually recover both VMs locally.

What will be the outcome of this manual recovery attempt?

Vannessa · Accepted Answer

A) The 'Revert' operation will succeed for 'REPORTING-DEV', but the option will be unavailable or blocked for 'ERP-PROD'.

Vannessa · Answer

B) The 'Revert' operation will succeed for both VMs, but for 'ERP-PROD', the administrator needs to temporarily break the synchronous replication link before the snapshot can be applied.

Vannessa · Answer

C) The 'Revert' operation will succeed for 'ERP-PROD' because synchronous replication natively locks the metadata, but it will fail for 'REPORTING-DEV'.

Vannessa · Answer

D) The 'Revert' operation will fail for both VMs.
