Question
A new employee has inherited a partially configured Disaster Recovery (DR) schema. Source workloads have been identified and Nutanix Guest Tools has been installed. There are two Protection Polices in place, one with an asynchronous schedule with a 1-hour RPO and a second policy utilizing synchronous replication. All of these workloads need to be recovered at a DR location and this will be orchestrated by Prism Central Recovery Plans. What is the best way to setup this recovery orchestration?
Options
- AIdentify the workload startup order and create Recovery Plans corresponding to the startup order.
- BSetup a Recovery Plan for the asynchronous replication and convert the synchronous replication
- CSetup two Recovery Plans, one for the asynchronous replication and one for the synchronous
- DSetup a single Recovery Plan utilizing stages of recovery delays as needed.

Explanation
The most critical element of recovery orchestration is defining the correct startup order for workloads based on application dependencies (e.g., database servers must start before application servers, which must start before web front-ends). Prism Central Recovery Plans allow stages and delays to enforce this order. Creating Recovery Plans that reflect the required startup sequence ensures that all workloads-regardless of whether they use asynchronous or synchronous replication-are recovered in the correct dependency order. Option C (two separate Recovery Plans by replication type) misses the point that startup order cuts across both policy types. Option B (converting synchronous to asynchronous) unnecessarily degrades RPO. Option D (single plan with delays) may work but is less precise than organizing by startup order.
