The log frequency in the Era IJI for log catchup operation can be configured to as low as 5 minutes. This allows the system to capture changes to the database at a high frequency, enabling more precise point-in-time recovery options. However, it’s important to note that a higher frequency of log catchup operations can lead to increased system load. Therefore, the optimal frequency may vary depending on the specific requirements and capabilities of your system12. Please refer to the Nutanix Database Automation (NCP-DB) Learning documents for more detailed information.

Before registering a SQL Server Single Node Database Server VM with NDB, it is necessary that the login account provided for this task must be a member of the sysadmin role. This ensures the necessary permissions are in place for managing and administering the SQL Server instance.References: Nutanix Database Automation documentation, under SQL Server database registration and permission requirements.

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.

When using the "Patch OS now" feature in NDB to apply updates to a Red Hat-based operating system, the administrator can limit updates to security patches only by leveraging the Advanced Options. Under the "Custom commands" section of the operating system patching command window, entering yum update --security instructs the package manager to install only security-related updates. This ensures the system remains secure without applying all available updates, which could introduce instability.

Other options are incorrect or incomplete:

A. Point the database VM to a custom patch repository and enter yum update --security command: This requires manual intervention outside NDB’s patching framework.

B. Check Advanced Options and under Pre-post commands, enter yum update security in the pre-operating system patching command window: Pre-post commands are for pre/post actions, not the main patching process, and the syntax lacks the --security flag.

C. Point the database VM to a custom patch repository before using the Patch OS now feature: This sets up a repository but doesn’t specify security-only updates within NDB’s interface.

Thus, the verified answer is D, aligning with NDB’s patching customization.
