NCP-DB Exam Dumps - Nutanix Certified Professional (NCP) Questions and Answers

According to the Nutanix Database Automation (NCP-DB) course, a Software Profile is a template that defines the configuration of the database engine, such as the version, edition, features, and parameters1. It also specifies the disk layout for the database installation, such as the size, type, and mount point of each disk1. However, the System Page File disk is omitted from the Software Profile, as it is automatically created by the NDB service based on the memory size of the database server VM1. The other options are included in the Software Profile, as they are essential for the database operation and performance1. References:

Based on the exhibit, the administrator is logged in with the Database Admin account (bsmith@ntnxlab.local), which does not have the permission to create local users on NDB. Only the Super Admin account (bsmith) has this permission, as indicated by the User type column. Therefore, the administrator needs to log out and log in again with the Super Admin account to add a new database admin as a local user to NDB. References: Nutanix Database Automation (NCP-DB) Course Details, Nutanix Database Automation (NCP-DB) Certification Details, Nutanix Database Automation (NCP-DB) YouTube Playlist, Nutanix Database Automation User Guide.

Nutanix Database Automation (NCP-DB) simplifies database provisioning using predefined profiles customized to your environment. Software profiles, which are templates of the OS and database engine, allow you to maintain consistent software versions1. You then use additional profiles to customize that deployment1.

The NDB user interface supports multiple languages, including English, Chinese, and Japanese. You can change the language preference in the NDB settings page. The NDB user interface does not support Korean, French, or German languages at this time. References:

 Data Access Management (DAM) policies are a feature of NDB Multi-Cluster that allows you to control the access and availability of time machine data across different Nutanix clusters. You can use DAM policies to specify which clusters can access the time machine data of a source database, and which clusters can replicate the time machine data for backup or disaster recovery purposes. DAM policies help you to optimize the storage and network resources, as well as ensure the security and compliance of your database workloads. The purpose of DAM policies is not to register multiple Nutanix clusters in NDB, as this is done by using the Add Cluster option in the NDB settings page. The purpose of DAM policies is also not to perform snapshot operations on a single Nutanix cluster, as this is done by using the Time Machine feature in the NDB dashboard. The purpose of DAM policies is also not to remove data accessibility of a time machine across all registered Nutanix clusters in NDB, as this is done by using the Delete option in the Time Machine page. References:

In Nutanix Database Automation (NCP-DB), the Time Machine feature is used for protecting databases and creating database clones. To create a database clone using the Era Interface, an administrator should select Time Machines, select a source database, and then choose Create Clone12. This process allows the administrator to create a copy of the source database at a specific point in time1.

In a Nutanix Era setup where Multi-Cluster is enabled and the Era Server storage container and Era provisioning container are different on the Era cluster, the administrator should configure a storage mapping between the Era server container and the remote container that is used for provisioning databases1. This is because Nutanix Era uses the storage container specified during the registration of the Nutanix cluster for provisioning databases1. Therefore, a storage mapping needs to be established between the Era server container and the remote container used for provisioning to ensure that the databases are provisioned correctly1.

 In Nutanix Era, the ability to add a new VLAN or IP Pool is typically associated with the role of an Infrastructure Administrator12. This role has the necessary permissions to manage network configurations, including the creation of VLANs and IP Pools12. It’s important to note that the exact permissions may vary depending on the specific configuration and policies of your organization12.

HA drivers are software components that enable high availability features for database VMs, such as failover, fencing, and heartbeat. HA drivers can be upgraded using the Life Cycle Management (LCM) feature of Nutanix Prism. LCM can detect the available updates for HA drivers and apply them to the database VMs in a non-disruptive manner. LCM can also perform health checks and pre-upgrade validations to ensure the successful completion of the upgrade process. One-click software upgrade is a feature of Nutanix Era that allows you to upgrade the Era software itself, not the HA drivers. Database VM OS patching is a feature of Nutanix Era that allows you to patch the operating system of the database VMs, not the HA drivers. Database software patching is a feature of Nutanix Era that allows you to patch the database software of the database VMs, not the HA drivers. References:

 Nutanix Era can be upgraded using the Offline Upgrade and One-click Upgrade methods. The Offline Upgrade method involves manually downloading the software update and applying it to the Era instance. The One-click Upgrade method allows you to upgrade Era directly from the Era management console with a single click, provided that the Era instance has internet connectivity and can reach the Nutanix software update portal1.
