Nutanix NCP-BC Exam Objectives

Section	Objectives
Interpret and Configure Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery (BCDR) Requirements	Objective 1.1: Determine prerequisites for BCDR schedule configurations Knowledge Relate RPO to a DR configuration Given a scenario choose async, nearsync, syncrep, metro to meet needs Relate resource requirements to a DR configuration CVM CPU, CVM Memory, SSD size, Node storage Relate system maximum configuration to a DR configuration VMs per category, VMs per Protection Policy Determine replication requirements Determine use and prerequisites for app-consistent snapshots Determine Independent Witness Service VM Objective 1.2: Harden a BCDR solution Knowledge Implement security requirements into a DR configuration Configure network segmentation for DR Set up an approval policy for DR snapshots Objective 1.3: Configure recovery plans, given BCDR requirements Knowledge Determine networking mappings for recovery plans Ensure adherence to configuration parameters Scale-Out PC, Async, Nearsync, Synchronous Scale-Out, single PC, large/small Configure Affinity/Anti-Affinity Policies VM-Host, VM-VM Objective 1.4: Configure BCDR requirements Knowledge Recognize supported DR configurations MST DR Recognize prerequisites for networking on NC2 based on cloud provider Layer 2 subnet stretching Objective 1.5: Configure network and storage, given BCDR requirements Knowledge Determine networking requirements for a DR configuration Identify storage needs at remote sites Calculate exclusive usage at remote sites Configure containers to ensure correct snapshot placement Determine best DR storage approach based on business requirements MST Pilot light Bare metal
Test Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery (BCDR) Solutions	Objective 2.1: Test DR failover Knowledge Given a scenario, determine when to execute planned failover of Async/NearSync/Sync Execute failback Given a scenario, determine when and how to execute unplanned failover as a test of Async/NearSync/Sync Execute failback Given a scenario, determine when and how to execute a test failover without impacting running workloads Validate a recovery plan Recognize the points that are checked during a recovery plan validation Objective 2.2: Test throughput and connectivity between sites Knowledge Identify which logs can be used to ensure consistent connectivity stability Identify which ports need to remain open between two sites Recognize where to configure bandwidth throttling with PD based DR Identify which native tools can be used to determine connectivity between sites
Perform Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery (BCDR) Tasks	Objective 3.1: Perform self-service restore (SSR) Knowledge Identify requirements for self-service restore Identify the process for performing an SSR in different environments Windows Linux Objective 3.2: Restore from a recovery point or snapshot Knowledge Determine when to Clone from a recovery point Recognize when to Revert a snapshot Restore a single VM from a snapshot in PD based DR Objective 3.3: Given an outage scenario, execute a plan for recovery Knowledge Given a scenario, decide when to execute the “Migrate” task for a PD Recognize tasks that are generated when migrate task is executed Given a scenario, decide when to execute the “Activate” task for a PD Recognize tasks that are generated when executing the activate task for a PD Given a scenario, determine which recovery plan option to execute ? Unplanned, Planned Objective 3.4: Perform a post-failover cleanup Knowledge ? Determine when to perform a cleanup Recognize process for performing a cleanup What to delete, necessary configuration changes, etc. Objective 3.5: Migrate from legacy domains to protection policies Knowledge Determine when it is appropriate to migrate from legacy PDs to protection policies Determine how to migrate from legacy PDs to protection policies Caveats, limitations, planning
Troubleshoot Business Continuity & Disaster Recovery (BCDR) Failures	Objective 4.1: Troubleshoot network issues causing DR failure Knowledge roubleshoot a replication bandwidth issue Troubleshoot a VM connectivity issue post-failover Network mapping, IP not retained, NGT not installed, etc. Given a network-specific alert, determine cause of the failure Objective 4.2: Diagnose reasons for failed replications Knowledge Troubleshoot a replication failure caused by networking issues Troubleshoot a replication failure caused by storage issues Troubleshoot a replication failure caused by permission issues Objective 4.3: Troubleshoot third-party backup failures Knowledge Determine issues with user permissions for 3rd Party Troubleshoot configuration issue causing 3rd party App-consistent snapshots to fail NGT not installed, link is false, networking issue, etc. Troubleshoot cause for storage bloat VM deleted, expiration date too far in the future, etc Objective 4.4: Troubleshoot DR setup issues Knowledge Troubleshoot misconfigured schedules Troubleshoot network setup Firewall issues, connectivity, throughput, etc. Diagnose misconfigured users/roles
