Nutanix Certified Master – Multicloud Infrastructure (NCM-MCI) — Question 34

A customer has Metro Availability configured in Automatic Resume Mode between Site A and Site B.
What happens to VMs if Primary Site A has full network failure?

Answer options

• A. Automatic protection domain promotion in Site B. VMs automatically restart in Site
• B. VMs continue to run on Site A following an automatic disable of protection domains.
• C. An administrator must unwitness in Site B and promote protection domains in Site B for VMs to restart
• D. An administrator must promote protection domains in Site B for VMs to restart.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because in Automatic Resume Mode, if Site A experiences a complete network failure, Site B automatically promotes the protection domain and restarts the VMs. Option B is incorrect as it suggests that VMs would continue running on Site A, which would not be possible during a network failure. Options C and D also require manual administrator intervention, which does not apply in Automatic Resume Mode.
