An administrator needs to set up aprotection policyin preparation for aDisaster Recovery (DR) test.
What is the first step required to satisfy this task?
Correct Answer:B
For NutanixDisaster Recovery (DR) protection policies, thefirst stepis to establish a connection between theProduction cluster and the DR site, which is done by creating an Availability Zone (AZ) (Option B).
✑ Availability Zones (AZs) define remote sites for replicationand are a requirement for configuring protection domains and disaster recovery plans.
✑ Option A (Installing NGT)is not necessary for setting up replication but is useful for application-consistent snapshots.
✑ Option C (Converting the source cluster to AHV)is not required, as Nutanix supports cross-hypervisor DR betweenESXi and AHV.
✑ Option D (Creating a point-in-time snapshot)is a later step after setting up theAvailability Zone and Protection Policy.
