To "compile a list" of entities using Intelligent Operations (X-Play) without manually tracking them, the administrator should leverage theCategorizationfeature, which acts as a dynamic tagging system.

Trigger (Event):The restoration of a VM from a snapshot generates a systemEvent(e.g., "VM Restored" or "Clone from Snapshot"). The Playbook must be configured with theEvent Triggerto detect this specific action immediately when it occurs.

Action (Assign Category):The Playbook should then execute theAssign Categoryaction. The administrator can define a specific category, such as Recovery:Restored.

Result:As the administrator restores the VMs (either manually or via script), the Playbook automatically tags each one with the Recovery:Restored category. The administrator can then simply filter the Prism Central VM list by this category to see the compiled list of all recovered VMs.

Options B and D are incorrect because a successful snapshot restoration is anEvent, not anAlert(which indicates a fault or threshold breach). Option C is incorrect because a Time Trigger cannot react to the specific action of a restore operation.

Nutanix Disaster Recovery usesProtection Policiesto automate replication. These policies are applied to VMs dynamically based onCategories. To protecteveryVM from both blueprints described, the administrator must select a category that iscommon to bothsets of VMs.

Blueprint 1 Categories:OSType: Windows, AppType:IIS

Blueprint 2 Categories:OSType: Windows, Environment:Dev

Commonality:The category OSType: Windows is assigned in both blueprints.

Configuration:By creating a Protection Policy that targets the category OSType: Windows, any VM deployed fromeitherblueprint will automatically inherit this tag. Consequently, the Disaster Recovery engine will immediately detect the new VM and begin replicating it according to the policy (Asynchronous, 1 hour) without manual intervention.

Options B and D would only protect a subset of the VMs (only IIS servers or only Dev workstations, respectively).
