Nutanix Certified Professional – Multicloud Infrastructure v6.10 (NCP-MCI) — Question 10

An administrator has configured AHV Metro with Witness and wants to document different failover scenarios.
As a part of the failover tests, connection losses between these pairs were simulated:
• Both the metro pair of clusters
• Primary cluster and Prism Central
However, Prism Central and the recovery cluster are still connected.
What are two expected system behaviors in this case? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Guest VMs continue to run on the primary cluster.
• B. Guest VMs failover automatically to the recovery cluster.
• C. Guest VM I/O operations pause (freeze) until the connectivity between the primary and recovery clusters or any of the clusters and Prism Central is restored.
• D. Guest VM I/O operations pause (freeze) until the connectivity between the primary and recovery clusters or the primary cluster and Prism Central is restored.

Correct answer: A, D

Explanation

The correct answer A indicates that the guest VMs remain operational on the primary cluster despite the connection loss, as they are not affected by the failure. Option D is correct because it specifies that I/O operations will pause until the primary cluster is reconnected to either the recovery cluster or Prism Central. Options B and C are incorrect because B implies an automatic failover that doesn't occur in this scenario, and C fails to specify the necessary connectivity restoration conditions accurately.
