Nutanix Exam NCP-MCI-6.10 Topic 3 Question 9 Discussion

Actual exam question for Nutanix's NCP-MCI-6.10 exam
Question #: 9
Topic #: 3
[All NCP-MCI-6.10 Questions]

A company is evaluating Nutanix Disaster Recovery (DR) to protect multiple business-critical applications. Some applications are built using a 3-tier architecture and have interdependencies.

After failover, the VM's static IP address is retained, but DNS configuration is lost.

How should an administrator proceed to resolve this issue?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

During failover in Nutanix Disaster Recovery, VMs retain their static IPs but may lose DNS settings if the network configuration at the DR site is different from the primary site.

Option B (Create custom in-guest scripts) is correct:

Custom scripts allow Windows or Linux VMs to restore DNS settings automatically after failover.

These scripts can be executed using post-failover automation in Nutanix DR policies.

Option A (Self-Service Restore) is incorrect:

Self-Service Restore is used for end-user recovery of deleted files, not for network settings.

Option C (nncli tool) is incorrect:

The nncli tool is used for network troubleshooting, but it does not automatically restore DNS settings.

Option D (Configure a Protection Domain) is incorrect:

Protection Domains define replication policies, but they do not fix DNS settings after failover.

C) Installing the Network Manager command-line tool (nncli) in the protected Windows VMs could be a convenient option. It should help automate the DNS configuration process post-failover.

B) Creating custom in-guest scripts to preserve the statically assigned DNS IP addresses seems like a solid solution. It's a proactive approach to ensure the DNS configuration is maintained after failover.

That's a valid point, Svetlana. Option D could indeed provide a more comprehensive solution for ensuring the integrity of the applications post-failover.

I disagree, I believe option D is the way to go. Configuring a Protection Domain will ensure that all necessary configurations are retained during failover.
