Nutanix Certified Master – Multicloud Infrastructure (NCM-MCI) — Question 42

An administrator has two clusters: Site A and Site B.
Async DR is configured between the clusters as follows:
✑ Site A is the Primary Site
✑ Site B is the Secondary inactive Site, no VMs running
✑ Site A is fully in Production
✑ Site B used as Backup/Disaster Recovery
The customer wants to perform a planned failover between the sites. How should the administrator accomplish this?

Answer options

• A. Click Activate on the Secondary site within the Data Protection Dashboard
• B. Click Activate on the Secondary site and run deactive NCLI command on Primary site
• C. Choose Migrate on the Secondary site within the Data Protection Dashboard
• D. Choose Migrate on the Primary site within the Data Protection Dashboard

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because initiating a planned failover requires the migration process to be started from the Primary site. Options A and B incorrectly suggest activating the Secondary site, which is not appropriate for a planned failover. Option C suggests migrating from the Secondary site, which does not apply since the Primary site needs to initiate the failover.
