NCP-DB Exam Dumps : Nutanix Certified Professional - Database Automation (NCP-DB v6.10)

 In the context of Nutanix Database Automation (NCP-DB), a Super Admin has the authority to apply patch profiles. However, if a patch is marked as deprecated, even if it’s published, it cannot be applied. This is because deprecation is a status that indicates the patch is outdated or has been superseded by a newer version, and thus should not be used1. This behavior ensures that only the most up-to-date and secure patches are applied to the system, maintaining the integrity and security of the database environment1.

To create a software profile version for a newly-released Oracle ISc patch, an administrator should follow these steps:

Download the required patch from MyOracle Support1. This is because Oracle patches are typically available from MyOracle Support, not Microsoft Support.

Apply the patch to the Oracle Home/Grid Home on a cloned VM of the gold image using OPatchAuto1. OPatchAuto is a utility provided by Oracle that automates the process of applying patches to a database.

Ensure success of patch application1. It’s important to verify that the patch has been applied successfully to avoid any issues down the line.

Create a new software profile version from the original software profile using the cloned VM where OPatchAuto was run successfully using Era GUI1. This step is necessary to ensure that the new patch is included in the software profile.

Mark the original patch profile as hidden1. This step is optional but can be useful for keeping the software profile clean and organized.

Please note that these answers are based on the information available as of my last update in 2021 and may need to be verified with the most recent Nutanix Database Automation (NCP-DB) documentation or resources.

To release PostgreSQL HA instances using a dedicated subnet in Nutanix Database Service (NDB), the administrator must create a network profile that defines the subnet and its associated VLAN. Before creating this network profile, it is mandatory to add a VLAN to the NDB Networks configuration. This VLAN ensures that the dedicated subnet is recognized and manageable within NDB, allowing the HA instances to be provisioned with isolated network connectivity. The VLAN must be configured in the NDB Networks page to be available for selection during network profile creation.

Option A (The subnet in Prism Element must be IPAM configured) is incorrect because IP Address Management (IPAM) configuration in Prism Element is optional and not a mandatory prerequisite for creating a network profile in NDB.

Option B (The DB VMs must be registered first) is incorrect because VM registration is a subsequent step, not a prerequisite for network profile creation.

Option C (A VLAN must be added to NDB networks) is correct as it is a required step to define the network infrastructure before creating the profile.

Option D (Configure Network Segmentation) is incorrect because network segmentation is an advanced feature and not mandatory for basic network profile setup.

This ensures the dedicated subnet is properly integrated into NDB for HA provisioning.
