Nutanix Certified Professional (NCP) — Question 83

An administrator is configuring data protection and DR for a multi-tier application. All VMs must be protected at the same time.
What must the administrator do to meet this requirement?

Answer options

• A. Create a consistency group for each VM with identical schedules
• B. Create a consistency group for the application and place all VMs in it
• C. Create a protection domain for the application and select auto-protect related entities
• D. Create a protection domain for each VM with identical schedules

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because creating a protection domain for the application and selecting auto-protect related entities ensures that all VMs within that application are protected simultaneously. Options A and D only address individual VMs and do not guarantee synchronized protection, while option B does not leverage the auto-protect feature, which is crucial for ensuring all components are safeguarded together.
