An administrator is configuringNutanix Disaster Recovery (DR)for across-hypervisor setup (ESXi to AHV)but finds thatguest VMs do not recover properly at the DR location.
What is required for a successful cross-hypervisor DR event?
A.
Utilize delta disks.
B.
Deploy Legacy BIOS boot on hosts within the cluster.
C.
Use raw device mappings.
D.
Nutanix Guest Tools (NGT) must be installed on source guest VMs.
For cross-hypervisor DR failover (e.g., ESXi to AHV), Nutanix Guest Tools (NGT) must be installed on VMs to ensure proper configuration and recovery.
Option D (NGT must be installed on source guest VMs) is correct:
NGTensures correct reconfiguration of VM devices and networking settingsduring failover.
Ithandles disk and driver reassignmentsbetween ESXi and AHV.
Option A (Utilize delta disks) is incorrect:
Delta disks are used insnapshot optimization, not DR failover.
Option B (Deploy Legacy BIOS boot) is incorrect:
AHV prefers UEFI boot mode, and Legacy BIOS is not a requirement.
Option C (Use raw device mappings) is incorrect:
RDMs areVMware-specificand arenot used in AHV failover scenarios.
