Suggested Answer: A,C Vote an answer
When connectivity between Metro clusters is lost, Nutanix Metro Availability ensures data integrity using Witness for automatic failover.
* Option A (Guest VM I/O operations pause until connectivity is restored) is correct:
* Metro Availability enforces data consistency, so I/O operationspauseuntil failover is confirmed.
* Option C (Guest VMs failover automatically to the recovery cluster) is correct:
* TheWitness VM detects the failureand initiates anautomatic failoverto the secondary cluster.
* Option B is incorrect:
* Prism Centraldoes not control VM failover in Metro Availability.
* Option D is incorrect:
* The primary cluster isunreachable, so VMs cannot continue running there.
