Explanation

Nutanix Prism Central Recovery Plans support a Recovery Sequence that can include custom scripts executed on VMs during failover. This is the scalable, automated approach for handling both IP reassignment (Re-IP) and DNS reconfiguration across 50 VMs simultaneously. Scripts can be tailored per VM to apply the correct new IP and DNS settings at the DR site without manual intervention. Installing NGT alone (A) enables script execution capability but does not automatically handle Re-IP or DNS changes - scripting must still be configured. Manually logging into each of 50 VMs (C) is operationally impractical and error-prone during a DR event. Pre-changing DNS on production VMs (D) would break production DNS resolution before the failover even occurs.
