Q: 6
An administrator has successfully configured Metro Availability for a Protection Domain. However,
after a few days, an NCC warning is raised:
"Following VMs are accessing data from remote clusters: VM-1 from remote cluster Remote-ML"
What is the first action an administrator must take to fix the issue?

C vs B-I've seen similar questions pop up in official practice. Migrating the VM first (option C) then using affinity or rules is usually what the guide says, not just applying affinity right away.
Yeah, most direct fix is C here. Moving VM back to primary site actually resolves the remote data access. Agree?
A is wrong, C. First thing is migrate the VM back to primary so it's not pulling data remote, then sort out DRS or affinity. Pretty sure that's what's needed per Nutanix docs.
Don’t think it’s B. C is the way-first you’ve got to migrate the VM back so it’s not reading from remote storage, then set DRS/affinity rules. B alone won’t fix if the VM already moved. Seen this catch people out in exam reports.
C, official guide and recent practice exams both point at migrating VM to primary site first for Metro data locality issues.
C , seen similar on practice exams and official guide says move VM back first for Metro issues.
Makes sense to fix the data access issue right away, so C. You need the VM back on its primary site to solve latency fast. Pretty sure that's what the exam wants here.
D tbh, I might check first with the health check to confirm details before migrating anything. Not certain, but that's my process.

I think running the NCC health check (option D) makes sense as a first step since it gives more info about the data locality warning. You’d want to confirm what’s really going on before making changes. Maybe not the only way, but feels practical here. Anyone see it differently?
Option B looks right to me since must-affinity rules would keep the VM from migrating in the first place, stopping remote reads. Maybe I'm missing something about order of operations but affinity sounds like the fix. Anyone disagree?
Be respectful. No spam.
