When a Recovery Plan orchestrates a failover of VMs using Volume Groups (VGs) with in-guest iSCSI attachments, the plan ensures the VG data is replicated and made available on the recovery site. However, the DR orchestration does not automatically re-establish the iSCSI session inside the guest operating system. After the failover, the VM powers on, but the iSCSI initiator within the guest OS is still configured with the old site's iSCSI target information. An administrator must manually or via script re-scan and reconnect the iSCSI initiator to the new target IP at the recovery site to bring the database volumes online.

A. The failover task completed successfully, which indicates that replication was configured and working correctly.

C. Volume Groups are fully supported entities for protection and recovery within Nutanix Recovery Plans.

D. A missing storage network mapping would likely cause the failover orchestration itself to fail, not succeed with an offline database.
