Which two actions are needed to create a new Windows VM with Self-Service Restore functionality? (Choose two.)

  1. Mount VirtIO CDROM during Windows installation

  2. Mount NGT CDROM during Windows installation

  3. Install VirtIO in Windows VM

  4. Install NGT in Windows VM

The correct answer is: Mount VirtIO CDROM during Windows installation

To enable Self-Service Restore functionality for a new Windows VM, the appropriate actions involve integrating the necessary tools that facilitate restoration processes. Mounting the NGT (Nutanix Guest Tools) CDROM during the installation of Windows is critical because NGT provides the essential components to enable features such as data protection, VM cloning, and Self-Service Restore. NGT enhances VM management and integrates with the Nutanix environment optimally, ensuring that the VM is configured correctly for these functionalities. Installing NGT in the Windows VM is another key step. This installation process ensures that the VM has the proper integration components that allow for smooth communication between the VM and the Nutanix platform, enabling the Self-Service Restore feature. NGT provides enhanced capabilities that assist in managing the lifecycle of the VM with features such as snapshot management and recovery options which are vital for restoration tasks. Together, these two actions ensure that a Windows VM is not only created correctly but is also equipped with the capabilities necessary for effective data management and recovery within the Nutanix environment.
