NCM-MCI Exam - Question 30


An administrator needs to migrate workloads from a Nutanix cluster running VMware ESXi to Nutanix AHV. The migration process needs to be completed in multiple VM groups and support roll back in case any problems are found during user acceptance testing.

Which action should the administrator perform?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: AC

The correct approach for migrating workloads from a Nutanix cluster running VMware ESXi to Nutanix AHV, while allowing for rollback in case of any problems during user acceptance testing, is to use Cross Hypervisor DR (Disaster Recovery). Cross Hypervisor DR allows for replicating VMs from ESXi to AHV and provides an ability to roll back by maintaining the protection domain semantics, snapshots, and recovery processes. This ensures that if issues arise, the VMs can be reverted to their original ESXi state.

A is correct. Cross hypervisor disaster recovery (CHDR) provides an ability to migrate the VMs from one hypervisor to another (ESXi to AHV or AHV to ESXi) by using the Protection Domain semantics of protecting VMs, taking snapshots, replicating the snapshots, and then recovering the VMs from the snapshots

Also Voting for „A“ With covert cluster you cannot rollback.

This statement "support roll back in case any problems" actually does point to in-place upgrade option. But yes DR replication from ESXi to AHV would be safest option.
