A customer wants to ensure that the Data Protection configuration using Protection Domains is fully functional.
The consultant has configured a protection domain for newly-created VMs with static IP addresses on multiple VLANs. The network administrator confirmed that the correct subnets exist at both physical sites.
After performing a failover operation, the virtual machines are turned back on but have no network access.
Which statement describes this issue?
If after performing a failover operation the virtual machines have no network access despite the network administrator confirming the correct subnets at both sites, the likely issue is:
A . Network mappings are not configured for the Remote Site: This configuration oversight means that although the VMs are online, they do not have appropriate network settings that correspond to the network environment at the failover site, resulting in connectivity issues.
From a hypervisor, which IP address should the consultant use to connect to the locally tossed on?
When configuring network settings for a hypervisor or accessing local services hosted on it, the IP address must be reachable from the network configuration you are currently using. Given the generic nature of the options, the correct choice typically depends on the subnet used for management purposes, which often uses a standard private address. '192.168.5.254' is a common choice for local network configurations and is likely set up as the gateway or a primary network interface on the hypervisor. Reference:

During Foundation, all nodes are imaged successfully. The cluster creation step fails. The consultant troubleshoots the issue and verifies that all Hosts and CVMs are up and running and responding to network pings.
Which method should the consultant select to create the cluster?
After confirming that all nodes (Hosts and CVMs) are operational and network accessible, the next step in troubleshooting a failed cluster creation process is to use one of the CVMs to manually initiate the cluster creation. This is done using the command cluster create from a CVM, which allows you to establish the cluster management and data services provided by Nutanix. This approach is recommended when the Foundation process has successfully imaged the nodes but the automatic cluster creation has failed. Reference:

A consultant needs to image nodes that cannot be discovered with the Foundation VM
The nodes are connected to a flat stitch and
are already part of a Nutanix cluster.
What course of action would result in Foundation success?
If nodes cannot be discovered using the Foundation VM and they are already part of a Nutanix cluster, the best course of action is to bare metal image the nodes. This process involves re-imaging the nodes from scratch, which can resolve discovery and communication issues that may be caused by existing configurations or errors within the cluster's networking setup.

A consultant is planning to use a flat switch for installation.
What is the network requirement for Foundation VM, CVM, Hypervisor, and IPMI
In a typical Nutanix deployment using a flat switch, the Foundation VM, the CVM, and the Hypervisor should all be on the same subnet to facilitate seamless communication and management operations during the initial setup and operation. The IPMI, being a management interface, can be on a different subnet as it serves a different purpose primarily for remote management at the hardware level and does not need to be on the same subnet as the other components for cluster functionality.
