Nutanix Certified Master – Multicloud Infrastructure (NCM-MCI) — Question 19

An administrator protected a DB VM running on a Nutanix cluster with NearSync Replication, which schedules to repeat every 15 minutes to a second site. The daily change rate is low. During nightly backups, the replication window is missed due to write volume. Which two options describe the expected behavior?
(Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. NearSync stops working and fails over to the remote site.
• B. Protection Domain transitions back to the hourly schedule.
• C. The Administrator needs to re-enable it manually.
• D. The system continuously tries to get to the NearSync schedule.

Correct answer: A, D

Explanation

The correct answers are A and D. When the replication window is missed, NearSync will stop working and failover to the remote site (A), while the system will continuously attempt to maintain the NearSync schedule (D). Options B and C are incorrect because the Protection Domain does not automatically revert to an hourly schedule or require manual re-enablement in this scenario.
