Explanation

After a Protection Domain is migrated (failed over) to the destination site, the VMs are registered and present on the destination cluster but remain powered off - they do not start automatically. The administrator must power on the Virtual Machines (D) to bring the workloads online at the recovery site and resume operations. Restoring VMs (B) would imply reverting to a snapshot, which is a different operation. Mounting datastores (C) is relevant in VMware ESXi environments but not the final step in a Nutanix Protection Domain migration. Registering VMs (A) happens automatically as part of the migration process.
