Q41. An administrator notices that VM replication from ClusterA to ClusterB fails consistently at the same point during the replication job. The following observations are noted by the administrator:
* The Prism dashboard shows the replication job failing during snapshot creation.
* ClusterB storage pool and container usage is under 80%, well below capacity.
* Network latency/Pings between ClusterA and ClusterB averages 3ms, with occasional spikes to 25ms.
* VM event logs indicate frequent I/O timeout errors during the replication window.
* Both clusters are running compatible AOS versions.
What is the most likely cause for the failing replications?

Q42. An administrator is troubleshooting a hung replication. When checking the replication status, the complete percent and bytes completed do not increase. The administrator checks the Stargate logs on the destination cluster and confirms the writes are failing with ” nfs status 28 ” . Checking the container info on the destination cluster, free space on the container is 0. The administrator confirms that there is sufficient space available in the storage pool. What could be the reason for free space on the container to be 0?

Q43. Which statement describes the automatic detachment timeout period for a snapshot disk mounted to a VM using the Nutanix Guest Tools (NGT) Self-Service Restore (SSR) feature?

Q44. An administrator initiates an unplanned failover due to a primary AZ outage. What is the worst-case scenario for data loss and which recovery point will be used by default?

Q45. A mission-critical VM utilizing an NVIDIA vGPU profile for high-end graphical processing is replicated from a primary Nutanix cluster to a secondary disaster recovery site. After failover of a VM using an NVIDIA vGPU profile, the VM boots but hardware acceleration does not function. What action is required?

Q46. An administrator plans to configure Cross Hypervisor Disaster Recovery (CHDR) to replicate VMs from an ESXi cluster to an AHV cluster using an Asynchronous replication schedule. Which component must be installed on the VMs to ensure successful migration and driver configuration during recovery?

Q47. An administrator managing critical VMs has been tasked with designing a Disaster Recovery solution where the VMs are brought up on the target cluster if the source cluster experience any issues. The failover needs to be triggered without any user intervention and with minimal downtime. What automatic failure execution solution is best suited?

Q48. An administrator migrates a guest VM from a legacy Protection Domain-based DR configuration to a Prism Central (PC)-based Protection Policy. Immediately after migration, the administrator considers deleting the legacy Protection Domain snapshots to reclaim storage. According to Nutanix guidance, when is it safe to delete the legacy Protection Domain snapshots?

Q49. An administrator protects workloads between two ESXi clusters using asynchronous (async) replication. After failover, VMs power on successfully but are placed in the default folder and resource pool instead of their original vSphere folders. Why did this occur?

Q50. After an unplanned outage, all VMs were successfully failed over to the recovery site, and users are now accessing workloads from there. The DR dashboard shows the failover is complete and replication from the original primary site has stopped. As part of post-failover cleanup, what is the most appropriate next action to ensure the DR configuration reflects the current production state and is ready for future protection?

Q51. An administrator is preparing to configure DR between an on-prem AZ and Nutanix Cloud AZ. Replication fails immediately after configuration. Which prerequisite should be verified?

Q52. An administrator builds a single recovery plan that includes workloads protected with Asynchronous (async) and Nearsync replication schedules together with workloads protected by Synchronous replication (syncrep) schedules. Which statement is true regarding this configuration?

Q53. An administrator previously configured Synchronous Replication on a VM named MarketVM. Due to upcoming maintenance at the primary site, it was decided to use Cross Cluster Live Migration (CCLM) to move the VM to the secondary site. When running CCLM, the task failed. What is a possible reason for this CCLM failure?

Q54. A Protection Policy is configured with a Nearsync replication schedule (15-minute RPO). An administrator observes that the system has temporarily transitioned to an hourly replication schedule. Which scenario would cause this automatic transition from Nearsync to Asynchronous (hourly) replication?

Q55. A Nutanix protection policy is configured with:
* RPO: 1 hour,
* Retention period: 5 days,
* Retention type: Roll-up.
After six days of continuous operation, approximately how many hourly recovery points will still be available for restores for the most recent 24-hour period?

Q56. A Veeam backup job is configured to use Nutanix application-consistent snapshots for several Windows VMs. Crash-consistent snapshots succeed, but Veeam reports that application-consistent snapshots fail with errors related to VSS processing. Upon investigation, the administrator confirms:
* The VMs are powered on.
* Network connectivity between the backup server and cluster is healthy.
Which configuration should the administrator verify to resolve the issue?

Q57. What must an administrator verify before starting a migration of entities from a protection domain to a protection policy?

Q58. During the Recovery Plan configuration, the administrator maps the ” Test Network ” setting to the ” Production Network ” VLAN on the Recovery Site. What is the expected outcome when the administrator executes a Test Failover for this plan?

Q59. A financial institution is designing a disaster recovery solution for a business-critical application that requires a zero recovery point objective (RPO). The infrastructure team decides to implement Nutanix Metro Availability between two physical data centers (DC-Alpha and DC-Beta) interconnected by a dedicated dark fiber. What is the maximum possible network latency on this link for this configuration to function correctly?

Q60. An organization uses a Recovery Plan to protect a SQL Cluster that relies on Volume Groups (VGs). The VGs are configured with hypervisor attachments. The administrator executes a Planned Failover to migrate the SQL Cluster to the Recovery Site. The Failover task completes successfully, but the database administrators report that the database is offline. What is the possible cause of this issue?

Q61. While attempting to execute a Commvault backup plan, an administrator received the following error for several VMs: ” Virtual Machine not found ” . After confirming the VMs exist, the administrator finds the following related error message: ” Event Code 91:4 Virtual machine [Nutanix-Web-Server] was not found.
Please verify that the virtual machine still exists and that the host is in the connected state. ” Which action should the administrator take to enable successful backups?

Q62. An administrator at a retail company is preparing to apply a critical OS security patch to a production SQL Server VM. Before starting, the administrator ensures the VM is part of a Protection Domain and manually creates a local snapshot (Recovery Point). Ten minutes after the patch is applied, the SQL service fails to start, and the database logs indicate corruption in the system registry. The administrator needs to return the VM to its functional state from ten minutes ago as quickly as possible. The administrator decides to perform a Restore from the local snapshot. Under which condition would an In-place Restore (Revert) fail, forcing the administrator to use the Clone (Out-of-place) option instead?
