Actual exam question for Nutanix's NCP-US exam

Question #: 34
Topic #: 1

Which scenario is causing the alert and need to be addressed to allow the entities to be protected?

AOne or more VMs or Volume Groups belonging to the Consistency Group is part of multiple Recovery Plans configured with a Witness.

BOne or more VMs or Volume Groups belonging to the Consistency Group may have been deleted

CThe logical timestamp for one or more of the Volume Groups is not consistent between clusters

DOne or more VMs or Volume Groups belonging to the Consistency Group contains state metadata

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: B

The scenario that is causing the alert and needs to be addressed to allow the entities to be protected is that one or more VMs or Volume Groups belonging to the Consistency Group may have been deleted. A Consistency Group is a logical grouping of VMs or Volume Groups that are protected together by a Protection Policy. A Protection Policy is a set of rules that defines how often snapshots are taken, how long they are retained, and where they are replicated for disaster recovery purposes. If one or more VMs or Volume Groups belonging to the Consistency Group are deleted, the Protection Policy will fail to protect them and generate an alert with the code AI303551 -- VolumeGroupProtectionFailed.Reference:Nutanix Volumes Administration Guide, page 29; Nutanix Volumes Troubleshooting Guide

I didn't know state metadata could cause alerts, that's surprising!

Option D seems off to me; I thought state metadata was usually a non-issue unless it was specifically flagged in the documentation.

I think option C sounds familiar; something about logical timestamps being inconsistent between clusters could definitely cause problems.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused by the terminology here. I'll need to make sure I understand what a "Consistency Group" and "Witness" are before I can decide on the right answer.

I'm a bit confused by the wording of the question. Does the device not support 802.1X, or is it just not configured properly? I'll need to think through those two scenarios carefully.
