Runtime backup management
8.1 Manage Nutanix Clusters
If you want to manage the backup protection at a cluster level, during runtime, you can do it from this menu.
You can select the monitoring status, auto protect the clusters (all VMs within the cluster) and add the default
retention policy. This feature is useful when a new cluster is added and needs to be managed.
Select the DPMC monitoring level for each XC Series from the following:
• None – DPMC performs no action. You can still perform manual operations on VMs.
• Notify Only – DPMC sends a Warning alert every time a new VM is detected on the cluster.
• Notify and Auto-protect – DPMC automatically protects a new VM with the chosen retention policy
when it is detected and notifies the user of this action.
This option is described in detail in the XC Series Cluster submenu
section.
