Nutanix Certified Professional - Business Continuity (NCP-BC) 7.5 Sample Questions:
1. An administrator is managing a mission-critical Inventory-VM that is part of a Protection Domain (PD) named PD_Production.
* Monday: A scheduled snapshot of PD_Production is successfully taken.
* Tuesday: Due to a configuration error during a cleanup task, the administrator accidentally removes Inventory-VM from the PD_Production Protection Domain. The VM continues to run, but it is no longer being snapped or replicated.
* Wednesday: A database corruption occurs on Inventory-VM. The administrator finds the local snapshot from Monday and performs an In-place Restore (Revert) to recover the data.
Following the successful completion of the In-place Restore, what is the status of Inventory-VM regarding its data protection?
A) The VM is restored to Monday ' s data state but remains outside of any PD.
B) The restore fails because the VM is no longer a member of the PD that owns the snapshot.
C) The VM is restored to Monday ' s data state and is automatically added back into the PD.
D) The VM is restored, but it is placed into a new, system-generated PD named Restored_Entities.
2. An administrator is validating a newly created Recovery Plan and receives the following warning:
IP addresses xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx cannot be preserved/mapped for VM REPORTVM01.
IP addresses cannot be preserved/mapped for entities
IP might be already in use or will be used by some other VM for recovery. IP cannot be mapped.
Only one IP address can be preserved for a vNIC in an IP address management enabled network.
What can the administrator do to resolve this warning without changing the existing IP address assigned to the VM?
A) Configure Custom VM IP Mapping in the Recovery Plan to define explicit IP address mapping for the VM.
B) Disable IPAM on the recovery site subnet to allow Nutanix DR to preserve static IP addresses during failover.
C) Add an additional vNIC to the VM and assign the IP address to the new vNIC to bypass the IPAM conflict.
D) Remove and re-add the VM to the Recovery Plan to trigger a fresh IP address mapping validation.
3. 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) Test Failover, to validate the recovery point in isolation before committing to a full failover.
B) Planned Failover, as the primary site is still accessible and a clean final snapshot can be created before failing over.
C) Planned Failover, as it guarantees zero data loss by capturing the most current state of all VMs.
D) Unplanned Failover, as it allows the administrator to select a specific recovery point in time.
4. 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?
A) A new 50GB data disk was added to the VM configuration after the snapshot was taken.
B) The VM is currently powered on and cannot be shut down.
C) The VM ' s memory was increased from 16GB to 32GB to accommodate the patch installation.
D) NGT (Nutanix Guest Tools) version was updated immediately after the snapshot.
5. A third-party backup solution is configured to use Nutanix application-consistent snapshots. Backups are failing for several Windows VMs, although crash-consistent snapshots succeed.
What is the most likely cause of the failure?
A) Replication traffic encryption is disabled.
B) Bandwidth throttling is configured too low.
C) NGT is not installed or not communicating.
D) The protection policy uses asynchronous replication.
