Study Notes
Cluster Protect Configuration
- Nutanix Cloud Clusters (NC2) on AWS utilize local NVMe storage, mitigating data loss risks from Availability Zone (AZ) failures or bare-metal node termination.
Protected Entities
- VM configurations and snapshots (e.g., VM disks, volume groups)
- Prism Central configuration data
- Flow Network Security policies
- Disaster Recovery (DR) configurations (protection policies, recovery plans, VM categories)
- Data snapshots from EBS volumes attached to the cluster
AOS 6.8 or Later Enhancements
- When using AOS 6.8 or later, virtual Trusted Platform Module (vTPM) enabled AHV UVMs can be protected and recovered, storing snapshots in an S3 bucket.
Cluster Protect Setup
- Requires two Amazon S3 buckets: one for UVM and volume group data, and another for Prism Central configuration.
- Requires AOS Ultimate or NCI Ultimate licensing tier.
- Uses point-in-time backup feature in Prism Central UI for Prism Central configuration.
Prerequisites for Cluster Protect
- AOS version 6.8 or higher
- Prism Central Version pc.2024.1 or higher
- AOS Ultimate or NCI Ultimate licensing tier
- Separate subnets for UVMs and Prism Central/Multicloud Snapshot Technology (MST)
Limitations of Cluster Protect
- Cluster Protect and protection policies cannot be used concurrently on the same cluster.
- Protected clusters must reside in the same Availability Zone.
- Clusters cannot be hibernated or terminated while protected by Cluster Protect.
- Cannot be used with Flow Virtual Networking.
- Recovered VDI clusters might consume more storage than initial.
- Maximum of five clusters and 1000 entities (VMs/Volume Groups) can be protected.
- Supported data sizes of up to 100 TB with a Multicloud Snapshot Technology
