Nutanix Certified Professional - Database Automation v6.5 Exam Practice Test

Answer : C, D

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.

Answer : B

Nutanix Era is a database management solution that automates and simplifies database administration tasks such as provisioning, patching, cloning, and backup.In the event of a database crash, the most effective way to minimize data loss and reduce restore time is to perform a restore of the source database by selecting the most recent point in time and including the Tail log Backup12.

The Tail log Backup includes all the transactions that have occurred since the last transaction log backup, which helps to minimize data loss.By selecting the most recent point in time for the restore, the administrator ensures that the database is restored to the state it was in just before the crash, thereby reducing the amount of data that needs to be reprocessed or reentered12.This approach aligns with the Nutanix Era's capabilities and best practices for database recovery12.

Answer : C

Nutanix Database Automation (NCP-DB) allows administrators to manage Service Level Agreements (SLAs) for databases. These SLAs define the data protection policies for databases. In this case, to minimize storage usage for a test database, the administrator should select the built-in NONE SLA.This SLA is configured for no snapshot or log backup, thus minimizing storage usage1.

Answer : D

The correct answer is D. When setting up a 3-node MSSQL Server AG with two database server VMs on a local site and a third database server VM on a remote site, the network at each site will require the following IP addresses:

1 Cluster VIP and 1 Listener IP on the local site123.

1 Cluster VIP and 1 Listener IP on the remote site123.

2 IPs in the local site and 1 on the remote site for the database server nodes123.

This configuration ensures that each node in the cluster has a unique IP address, and each cluster and listener also has a unique IP address.This is necessary for the proper functioning of the cluster and to ensure that all nodes can communicate with each other and with clients123.

Answer : D

. This is because it allows the database to be refreshed at the exact time specified (9:30 PM) with the most recent data. The other options either perform the snapshot before the desired time or do not specify when the snapshot would occur. Please note that the exact answer might depend on the specific database system and its capabilities. Always refer to the database's documentation for the most accurate information.

Answer : A

In the Nutanix Database Automation (NCP-DB) framework, the role that allows an administrator to work with databases and time machines, but not database parameter profiles, is theDatabase Administrator (DBA)123. This role provides the necessary permissions to manage databases and time machines, which are essential components of the Nutanix Era solution.However, it does not grant access to database parameter profiles, which are typically managed by other roles45.

Answer : A, C

Option A: On the Era Dashboard Database Summary Table under Source Database.The dashboard provides a summary of the databases, including their sizes1.

Option B: Under the Capacity widget on the Database Server VMS > List database summary page. While this might provide information about the capacity, it does not specifically provide the size of a Source Database.

Option C: On the Databases > Sources table.This table provides detailed information about the databases, including their sizes1.

Option D: On the Profiles > Database Parameters list for the assigned DB Parameter Profile. This list provides parameters for the database but does not provide the size of a Source Database.
