NCP-CI-AWS practice question 1 of 15

Which two statements are the most accurate regarding Cluster Protect? (Choose two.)

Answer options

A: An AWS subnet can be shared by VMs, Prism Central, and Multicloud Snapshort Technology (MST).

B: Nutanix Guest Tools (NGT) is not required to be installed on User VMs.

C: The dusters that are to be protected must be registered with the same instance of Prism Central. Correct answer

D: The Cluster Protect feature requires AOS version 6.7 or higher. Correct answer

Correct Answer:

C. The dusters that are to be protected must be registered with the same instance of Prism Central.; D. The Cluster Protect feature requires AOS version 6.7 or higher.

Explanation

Cluster Protect is orchestrated from Prism Central; every cluster that is to be protected and every target cluster must be registered to the same Prism Central instance. The feature was introduced in AOS 6.7, therefore all participating clusters must be running 6.7 or higher.

Why Incorrect

A Subnet-sharing is a networking guideline, not a requirement or characteristic of Cluster Protect. B NGT is optional for VM protection; Cluster Protect does not require it.
