Nutanix Certified Professional - Business Continuity (NCP-BC) 7.5 Sample Questions:

1. The Disaster Recovery dashboard in Prism Central shows that the protection domain is out of sync and new recovery points are no longer being created at the recovery site. No recent changes were made to the protection policy configuration or RPO settings. During initial troubleshooting, an administrator has observed the following:
* Production VMs are running normally at the primary site.
* The recovery cluster is reachable from Prism Central.
* No storage capacity alerts are seen on either cluster.
* A recent network change was implemented to enable network segmentation between clusters.
* New firewall rules were introduced recently as part of a security hardening effort.
Which action should the administrator take first when evaluating this issue?

A) Verify if network segmentation was enabled while replication was running.
B) Increase the RPO frequency setting in order to generate additional recovery points.
C) Manually trigger a failover to re-establish replication.
D) Delete and recreate the protection policy immediately.

2. An administrator needs to provide leadership with a report showing the timeframe of each step during Recovery Plan failover testing. How should the administrator produce this report?

A) Use ncli on a CVM to query Recovery Plan execution history.
B) Review the built-in execution report from the test failover results.
C) Generate a custom report within Prism Central Intelligent Operations.
D) Filter the Events log in Prism Central for Recovery Plan activity.

3. An administrator is concerned about the operational overhead of manually creating and managing categories across both the primary and recovery sites to ensure Recovery Plans function correctly during failover and failback. What Nutanix Disaster Recovery behavior minimizes this concern?

A) Categories are automatically synchronized to the recovery site AZ when they are specified in a Recovery Plan.
B) Categories only need to be configured at the recovery site since that is where failover operations are executed.
C) Categories must be manually replicated using the Prism Central API between sites to ensure consistency.
D) Recovery Plans replicate categories only during an active failover event to minimize replication traffic.

4. A security team has detected a ransomware attack that began encrypting files on the primary site at 2:00 AM.
By 2:45 AM, the primary site is still accessible but workloads are compromised. The administrator needs to recover to a known-good state from before the attack.
Which statement shows the action and reasoning that the administrator should consider?

A) Unplanned Failover, as it allows the administrator to select a specific recovery point in time.
B) Planned Failover, as the primary site is still accessible and a clean final snapshot can be created before failing over.
C) Test Failover, to validate the recovery point in isolation before committing to a full failover.
D) Planned Failover, as it guarantees zero data loss by capturing the most current state of all VMs.

5. 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?

A) Ensure Virtual Trusted Platform Module (vTPM) is disabled on the VMs.
B) Ensure the VM is created with local Key Management Server (KMS).
C) Ensure primary and recovery clusters are not registered to the same KMS.
D) Upgrade Nutanix Guest Tools (NGT) on the VM to the latest version.
