Explanation
In Nutanix Prism Element, a Protection Domain is the construct that enables scheduled VM snapshots and replication to remote sites. You add VMs to a Protection Domain, define Consistency Groups, configure snapshot schedules (local and/or remote), and set retention policies - all within the Protection Domain workflow.
- Categories (A) are used for policy-based management in Prism Central (e.g., for NGT policies or backups via Leap/PC-based protection), not for basic snapshot scheduling in Prism Element.
- Consistency Group (B) is a sub-component within a Protection Domain that groups VMs for crash-consistent snapshots - it cannot exist independently without a Protection Domain.
- Volume Group (C) is a storage construct for presenting iSCSI LUNs to hosts or VMs, unrelated to snapshot scheduling.
