Nutanix Certified Master – Multicloud Infrastructure (NCM-MCI) — Question 28

In a Nutanix cluster, a Protection Domain contains 50 entities that are replicated to a remote Single Node Replication Target. The current schedule configuration is as follows:
✑ Repeat every 6 hours
✑ Local Retention Policy 1
✑ Remote Retention Policy 8
✑ Starting time 12 am
At 8 am on Monday, the administrator discovers that a protected VM is corrupted. The latest good state was Sunday 2 pm. The administrator needs to maintain current protection.
Which strategy should the administrator use to meet these requirements?

Answer options

• A. From the Remote site, activate the Protection Domain, then re-protect the entity.
• B. From the Remote site, restore the VM from the local snapshot by selecting the correct snapshot.
• C. From the local site, retrieve the correct remote snapshot, then restore the VM locally.
• D. From the local site, restore the VM from the local snapshot by selecting the correct snapshot.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct strategy is to retrieve the correct remote snapshot from the local site and restore the VM locally to maintain current protection and ensure that the VM is returned to a good state. Options A and B do not address the need to restore the VM from the correct snapshot and do not maintain the VM's current protection. Option D uses a local snapshot instead of the remote one, which does not meet the requirements.
