Answer options
A: Install the PVS AHV plug-in on all brokers.
B: Install the MCS AHV plug-in on all brokers.
C: Restart the Citrix Remote Broker Provider service. Correct answer
D: Restart the Citrix Remote HCL Server service.
Correct Answer:
C. Restart the Citrix Remote Broker Provider service.
Explanation

After installing the Nutanix AHV Plug-in for Citrix Provisioning (PVS), the integration components must be registered with the relevant Citrix services. The Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops Setup Wizard, which is run from the PVS console, communicates with the Citrix Broker Service on the Delivery Controller to create machine catalogs and add machines. Restarting the Citrix Remote Broker Provider Service forces it to reload its configuration and recognize the newly installed Nutanix AHV plug-in, enabling the integration to function correctly.

Why Incorrect

A. Installing the plug-in is a prerequisite. The question states this was already done, and the issue occurred after installation.
B. The MCS (Machine Creation Services) plug-in is for a different provisioning technology and is not relevant for a Citrix PVS integration.
D. The Citrix Remote HCL Server service is related to the hypervisor connection layer, but the Broker service is more directly involved with catalog creation.
