The clusters that are to be protected must be registered with the same instance of Prism Central (Answer C):

For Cluster Protect to function correctly, all clusters intended for protection must be registered under the same Prism Central instance. This ensures consistent management and coordination of protection policies and operations across clusters.

The Cluster Protect feature requires AOS version 6.7 or higher (Answer D):

Cluster Protect is a feature that is available starting from AOS version 6.7. To utilize this feature, ensure that the Nutanix clusters are running this version or a newer one.

When a node is marked as 'Condemned,' it indicates that the system has determined that the node is no longer reliable for operations. As part of the automated recovery and protection process, the following action is typically taken:

The node has a power reset sent to it (Answer A):

In most cases, a condemned node undergoes a power reset as an initial recovery attempt. This action attempts to reboot the node to bring it back to a healthy state. If the reset fails, further manual or automated steps may be required to address the hardware or software issue.

To provide VMs with outbound internet connectivity in AWS using a private subnet, the administrator needs to create the following components in the VPC:

Private Subnet: A private subnet is required to house the VMs that need outbound internet access but do not require direct inbound access from the internet.

NAT Gateway: A NAT (Network Address Translation) Gateway is necessary to allow instances in the private subnet to connect to the internet or other AWS services while preventing the internet from initiating a connection with those instances.

Public EIP (Elastic IP Address): An EIP is associated with the NAT Gateway to provide a persistent public IP address that allows outbound internet traffic from the private subnet to be routed correctly.

Route Table: A route table is configured to route traffic from the private subnet to the NAT Gateway for outbound internet access.

Ensure the specialist is assigned the RBAC role with proper permissions (Answer A):

Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) ensures that the specialist has the necessary permissions to troubleshoot and manage the NC2 environment. This avoids unnecessary privilege escalations and maintains security.

Confirm the Support Authorization on the organization is set to Full Access (Answer C):

Setting the Support Authorization to Full Access allows the Nutanix support specialist to have the required access to investigate and resolve issues in the environment. This is essential for effective troubleshooting.

AHV (Answer A):

AHV (Acropolis Hypervisor) can be upgraded using Lifecycle Manager (LCM). LCM simplifies the upgrade process and ensures that all components are updated in a coordinated manner.

BIOS (Answer C):

BIOS upgrades can also be performed using LCM. This helps in maintaining hardware compatibility and performance by ensuring that the latest firmware is installed.

To deploy an NC2 cluster using an existing AWS network, the NAT Gateway should be placed in a public subnet. A public subnet is one that has a route to an Internet Gateway, allowing the NAT Gateway to provide outbound internet access for resources in private subnets. The NAT Gateway is used to enable instances in private subnets to access the internet while keeping them secure by not exposing them directly to the public internet.
