Correct Answer:

First, you need to open the Prism Central CLI from the Windows Server 2019 workstation. You can do this by clicking on the Start menu and typing "Prism Central CLI". Then, you need to log in with the credentials provided to you.
Second, you need to run the two commands that I have already given you in Desktop\Files\Network\flow.txt.
These commands are:
net.update_vpc_traffic_config virtual_switch=vs1 net.update_vpc_east_west_traffic_config permit_vpc_traffic=true These commands will update the virtual switch that carries the VPC traffic to vs1, and update the VPC east- west traffic configuration to allow only VPC traffic. You can verify that these commands have been executed successfully by running the command:
net.get_vpc_traffic_config
This command will show you the current settings of the virtual switch and the VPC east-west traffic configuration.
Third, you need to SSH directly to any AHV node (not a CVM) in the cluster and run the command:
ovs-vsctl show
This command will display an overview of the Open vSwitch configuration on the AHV node. You can copy and paste the output of this command to a new text file named Desktop\Files\Network\AHVswitch.txt.
You can use any SSH client such as PuTTY or Windows PowerShell to connect to the AHV node. You will need the IP address and the credentials of the AHV node, which you can find in Prism Element or Prism Central.
remove # from greens
On AHV execute:
sudo ovs-vsctl show
CVM access AHV access command
nutanix@NTNX-A-CVM:192.168.10.5:~$ ssh [email protected] "ovs-vsctl show" Open AHVswitch.txt and copy paste output

Explanation:
Here is the step-by-step solution to configure Disaster Recovery from the Cluster 1 Prism Element interface.
1. Add Cluster 2 as a Remote Site
First, you must register Cluster 2 as a DR target for Cluster 1.
* From the Cluster 1 Prism Element dashboard, navigate to Data Protection from the main dropdown menu.
* Click the Remote Site tab.
* Click the + Remote Site button and select Physical Cluster.
* In the "Name" field, enter Cluster2_DR_Task3.
* In the "Address" field, enter the 172.30.0.x Virtual IP address of Cluster 2.
* Click Save. The clusters will exchange credentials and connect.
2. Throttle Replication Bandwidth
Next, apply the 10 Mbps bandwidth limit for traffic going to Cluster 2.
* On the same Remote Site tab, select the newly created Cluster2_DR_Task3.
* Click the Update button.
* In the dialog, set the Bandwidth Limit to 10 Mbps.
* Click Save.
3. Create the Protection Domain
A Protection Domain (PD) is the top-level object that will manage the VMs and replication schedules.
* In the Data Protection dashboard, click the Table tab.
* Click the + Protection Domain button and select Async DR.
* For the Name, enter App_PD_Task3.
* Click Create.
4. Protect VMs in a Consistency Group
Now you will add the three application VMs to the new Protection Domain as a single Consistency Group (CG).
* You will be taken to the dashboard for the new App_PD_Task3. In the Entities panel, click the Protect Entities button.
* In the "Protect Entities" dialog, search for and select the three VMs:
* Web-Prod
* App-Prod
* DB-Prod
* Click Next.
* Select Create new consistency group and name it App_CG_Task3.
* Click Protect.
5. Create the Replication Schedule
Finally, configure the schedule to meet the RPO and retention requirements.
* In the App_PD_Task3 dashboard, click the Schedules tab.
* Click the + New Schedule button.
* Remote Site: Select Cluster2_DR_Task3.
* RPO (Repeat every): Select NearSync. Set the RPO to 1 minute.
* Note: This is the lowest possible RPO for an Async (>5ms latency) connection, fulfilling the "as close to 0" requirement.
* Local Retention: Set to 2 Days.
* Remote Retention: Set to 2 Days.
* Ensure the "Store snapshots for 2-way replication" checkbox is enabled to allow failback from Cluster 2.
* Click Create Schedule.

Explanation:
Here is the step-by-step solution to complete both tasks on Cluster 1.
This solution requires you to first find the IP of Cluster 2 (for the SMTP server) and then perform all configurations within the Prism Element interface for Cluster 1.
Prerequisite: Find Cluster 2 IP
* In Prism Central, navigate to Hardware > Clusters.
* Find Cluster 2 in the list and note its IP Address. You will use this in the steps below.
Task 1: Create the VM Template
* Log in to the Prism Element (PE) interface for Cluster 1. (From PC, go to Hardware > Clusters > click the name "Cluster 1").
* Navigate to the VM view from the main dashboard.
* Click the + Create VM button.
* Fill in the VM details based on the NVD-2031 "Small VM" configuration (e.g., 2 vCPUs, 1 Core per vCPU, 4 GB RAM).
* Name: Small Template
* Compute Details:
* vCPUs: 2
* Number of Cores per vCPU: 1
* Memory: 4 GB
* Scroll down to Storage and click + Add New Disk.
* Operation: Select Clone from Image Service.
* Image: Select any available guest OS image (e.g., a Windows or CentOS image).
* Storage Container: Ensure the default container is selected (as required by the task).
* Click Add.
* Scroll down to Network Adapters (NIC) and click + Add NIC.
* Select any available VLAN/Subnet (e.g., Primary).
* Click Add.
* Click Save. The VM will be created (and remain powered off).
* Find the new Small Template VM in the list. Select its checkbox.
* Click the Actions dropdown and select Convert to Template.
* Confirm the action by clicking OK.
Task 2: Configure SMTP and NCC Reports
* While still in the Cluster 1 Prism Element interface, click the gear icon (Settings) in the top-right corner.
* Select SMTP Server from the left-hand menu.
* Click the Configure button.
* In the "Server Settings" tab, fill in the following:
* Server Address: Enter the Cluster 2 IP Address (which you found in the prerequisite step).
* Port: 25 (leave as default).
* From Email Address: [email protected]
* Click Next.
* In the "Email Recipients" tab, click + Add Email Recipient.
* Address: [email protected]
* Ensure all severities (Critical, Warning, Info) are checked.
* Click Save.
* Click + Add Email Recipient again.
* Address: [email protected]
* Ensure all severities are checked.
* Click Save.
* Click Done. A test email will be sent.
* In the main Settings menu, select Alerts and Notifications.
* Scroll to the NCC Health Checks section.
* Check the box labeled Email Nutanix Cluster Check reports to recipients. (This will use the SMTP settings and recipients you just configured).
* Click Save.
