Full set: 109 questions

Answer options

A: Filter the Events log in Prism Central for Recovery Plan activity.

B: Review the built-in execution report from the test failover results. Correct answer

C: Generate a custom report within Prism Central Intelligent Operations.

D: Use ncli on a CVM to query Recovery Plan execution history.

Correct Answer:

B. Review the built-in execution report from the test failover results.

Explanation

After a recovery-plan test or failover, Prism Central automatically generates an Execution Report that lists every step, its start/end timestamps, and status. This built-in report can be viewed or exported, providing leadership with the required timing details without additional tooling.

Why Incorrect

A. Events log holds only high-level events, lacks per-step timing granularity.
C. Intelligent Operations reporting focuses on capacity/performance, not DR workflows.
D. ncli shows summary state; it does not format a step-by-step timed report.
