Q: 5
A Veeam Backup appliance, which uses iSCSI, must be deployed into an AHV-based cluster. What must be configured to allow Veeam to connect to the Nutanix cluster?

Probably D. Had something like this in a mock and it was all about Data Services IP for Veeam iSCSI.
Why not B in a scenario where Veeam does NFS, not iSCSI? Isn't Data Services IP mainly for block protocols?
Don’t think it’s C, Data Services IP (D) is required for iSCSI setup, not Prism Central. Trap for management vs direct connectivity.
C or D here. I figured Prism Central (C) since it manages the cluster and sometimes is needed for integrations, plus I’ve seen official guides mention it for Veeam setups. But maybe I’m mixing up management vs direct connectivity. The Data Services IP (D) is more about iSCSI endpoints, but C seemed like a reasonable config step too. Anyone seen this split in an official practice test or doc?
B
D imo. Only the Data Services IP enables external iSCSI initiators like Veeam to connect to Nutanix Volumes. B and C are common mixups but aren’t used for this protocol-it’s a connectivity config, not object storage or management. Correct me if anyone heard different on current Nutanix releases.
Wow, Nutanix always loves tossing in distractor answers like Prism Central. C tbh.
B, not A. The key here is iSCSI, and for Nutanix Volumes over iSCSI you need the Data Services IP (Option D). Network segmentation alone (A) is useful for security but doesn't actually enable the connection. B (Objects) and C (Prism Central) are common traps but not directly relevant to this scenario. I've seen similar questions on other practice sets. Pretty sure D is right unless there's a newer method I'm missing. Agree?
Yeah it's D. With Veeam using iSCSI, you need the Data Services IP set on the Nutanix cluster for connectivity. No Data Services IP, no Volumes iSCSI. Pretty sure that's the requirement but open to corrections.
B, External Key Manager. Dual encryption needs an external key manager for handling two sets of keys, not the native one. Pretty sure that's right from what I've seen in Nutanix docs.
Be respectful. No spam.
