Nutanix Certified Master – Multicloud Infrastructure (NCM-MCI) — Question 29

A customer recently set up Async Replication between Site A and Site B. The customer wants to conduct a planned failover and clicks Activate on Site B. The customer then runs the following command on Site A: ncli pd deactivate_and__destroy_vms name=<protection_domain_name>.
What does this do to the customer environment?

Answer options

• A. VMs get deleted from Site B and the protection domain is now Active.
• B. VMs are powered off on Site A and must be manually powered on at Site B.
• C. VMs get deleted from Site A and the protection domain is no longer active.
• D. Customer must then manually power off VMs at Site A and power them on at Site B.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because the command ncli pd deactivate_and__destroy_vms is designed to deactivate the protection domain and delete the virtual machines from Site A, effectively making the protection domain inactive. Options A, B, and D are incorrect because they misinterpret the command's effects, particularly regarding the status of VMs and the protection domain.
