Where are two locations an administrator would find the size of a Source Database? (Choose two.)
A. On the Era Dashboard Database Summary Table under Source Database.
B. Under the Capacity widget on the Database Server VMS > List database summary page.
C. On the Databases > Sources table.
D. On the Profiles > Database Parameters list for the assigned DB Parameter Profile.
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.
An administrator needs to make new VLANs available when provisioning a Oracle cluster database, which have been added to NDB via the Administration menu. What needs to be done to expose the new VLANs for provisioning?
A. Create a new VLAN in Prism Element and discover it in NDB.
B. Update the Network Profile to include the new VLANs.
C. Update Prism Element with the new VLAN and discover it in NDB.
D. Create a new Network Profile with the new VLANs.
Explanation:
A Network Profile is a collection of network settings that are used to provision database server VMs in NDB.
A Network Profile can include one or more VLANs, IP ranges, and DNS servers. To make new VLANs
available when provisioning an Oracle cluster database, you need to update the Network Profile to include the
new VLANs. You can do this by editing the existing Network Profile or creating a new one with the new
VLANs. You do not need to create or update the VLANs in Prism Element, as NDB can discover the VLANs
configured in AHV1.
An administrator needs to provision a database for test purposes with a data protection policy that minimizes storage usage. How should the administrator best complete this task?
A. Disable the SLA for this database during provisioning.
B. Create a SLA that only leverages zero-byte snapshots.
C. Select the built-in NONE SLA that is configured for no snapshot or log backup.
D. Create a custom SLA for this database that only retains 1 day of snapshots and bogs.
Explanation:
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.
What is causing this issue?
A. The VLAN is DHCP
B. The VLAN is static
C. The VLAN is stretched
D. The VLAN is IPAM
Explanation:
The correct answer is C because a stretched VLAN is a VLAN that spans across multiple Nutanix clusters,
which may cause network conflicts or latency issues when starting the database server. Option A is incorrect
because a DHCP VLAN is a VLAN that uses dynamic IP address allocation, which does not affect the
database server startup. Option B is incorrect because a static VLAN is a VLAN that uses fixed IP address
allocation, which also does not affect the database server startup. Option D is incorrect because IPAM is not a
type of VLAN, but a feature of NDB that allows managing IP addresses for database servers and databases.
An administrator needs to replace the default Nutanix self-signed certificates in Era. Which SSL Certificate file format is supported?
A. PKCS#7
B. DER encoded binary X.509
C. Base-64 encoded X 509
D. PKCS#12
Explanation:
According to the Nutanix Database Automation (NCP-DB) learning documents, Nutanix Era supports x509
certificates in Base-64 encoded PEM format1. This format is used when an administrator needs to replace the
default Nutanix self-signed certificates in Era1.
The NDB user interface can display which language option?
A. Korean
B. Japanese
C. French
D. German
Explanation:
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.
Era allows custom metadata to be assigned to entities (clones, time machines, databases, and database servers) by using which component?
A. Tags
B. Notes
C. Text
D. Index
Explanation:
Nutanix Era allows custom metadata to be assigned to entities (clones, time machines, databases, and database
servers) by using Tags. Tags are a component of Nutanix Era that allows users to assign custom metadata to
various entities, enhancing the ability to organize, search, and manage these entities within the Era platform1.
An administrator needs to provision a 3-node MSSQL Server AG with the following configuration:
• Two database server VMS including the primary replica on a local site
• A third database server VM on a remote site
How many IP addresses will the network at each site require?
A. 2 Cluster VIP and 1 listener IP on the local site
B. 1 Cluster VIP and 1 listener IP on the remote site
2 IPs in the local site and 1 on the remote site for the database server nodes
1 Cluster VIP on the local site
1 Cluster VIP and 1 Listener IP on the remote site
2 IPs in the local site and 1 on the remote site for the database server nodes
C. I Cluster VIP end I Listener IP on the local site
1 Listener IP on the local site
2 IPs in the local site and I on the remote site for the database server nodes
D. Cluster VIP end I Listener IP on the local site
1 Cluster VIP and 1 Listener IP on the remote site
2 IPs in the local site and 1 on the remote site for the database server nodes
Explanation:
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:
What does an NDB compute profile contain?
A. vCPUs, cores per vCPU, and the amount of memory for the database server VM.
B. Windows domain name (FQDN), domain user, and password.
C. VLAN that the new database server VM will use.
D. An image of the database and operating system generated from the registered database server VM.
Explanation:
An NDB compute profile defines the CPU and memory resources for the database server VMs that are
provisioned using NDB. It does not include any information about the network, domain, or software of the
database server VMs. Those are specified in separate profiles, such as network profile, domain profile, and
software profile.
An administrator needs the ability to clone a source database to a point in time. What is the lowest log frequency in minutes that can be configured in the Era IJI for log catchup operation?
A. 30
B. 60
C. 5
D. 15
Explanation:
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.
An administrator has a production PostgreSQL database cloned for development and testing purpose. A new
table is added to the source database.
What should the administrator do to publish the update leveraging the point in Time Era capability?
(C) 1. PeHorm a Log Catch-up using source database Time Mechine
2. Refresh the clone database
(C) l. Perform a Log Catch-up using source database Time Mechine
2. Refresh the source database
(C) l. update Log Catch-up interval from Tme Machine
2. Refresh the source database
C) 1. Update Log Catch-up interval from Tame Machine
2. Refresh the clone database
How is the size of a database time machine defined?
A. Only the size of all reclaimable snapshots maintained by Era
B. The size of all snapshots and/or transaction logs maintained by Era
C. Only the size of all transaction logs maintained by Era
D. The size of all snapshots and clones maintained by Era
Explanation:
The Nutanix Era platform provides a feature called Time Machine, which is designed to manage the lifecycle
of database copies and clones1. When a new table is added to the source database, the administrator should
perform a Log Catch-up using the source database’s Time Machine. This action ensures that the Time
Machine captures the latest state of the source database, including the newly added table1. After performing
the Log Catch-up, the administrator should refresh the clone database. The refresh operation updates the clone
with the latest state captured by the Time Machine, thereby publishing the new table to the clone1.
A request is received to refresh a database clone from a new manual snapshot. When the administrator attempts to create the new snapshot from the Time Machine, it is in a Frozen state. What causes a Time Machine to enter the Frozen state and what are the administrator's options to complete the request?
A. Cause: The Time Machine enters a Frozen state when the database is de-registered without removing
the Time Machine.
Resolution: The Time Machine must be paused, then the database re-registered with a new Time
Machine and a new clone created.
B. Cause: The Time Machine enters a Frozen state when the database is de-registered without removing
the Time Machine.
Resolution: To complete the request the database must be re-registered in NDB, create a new Time
Machine and create a new clone.
C. Cause: The Time Machine enters a Frozen state when the database is de-registered without removing
the Time Machine.
Resolution: To complete the request the database must be re-registered in NDB, this thaws the Time
Machine and it resumes operation so the clone can be refreshed.
D. Cause: The Time Machine enters a Frozen state after too many snapshot or log catchup
failures.
Resolution: Remediate the snapshot or log catchup failures, this thaws the Time Machine,
allowing normal operations to continue and the request can be completed.
Explanation:
A Time Machine is a core construct of the copy data management service in NDB that captures and manages
the data of a database to deliver a recovery point objective (RPO) SLA. A Time Machine can enter a Frozen
state for various reasons, such as database de-registration, snapshot or log catchup failures, or manual
intervention. When a Time Machine is in a Frozen state, it stops taking new snapshots and log backups, and
cannot perform any clone, refresh, or restore operations. To resume the normal operation of a Time Machine,
it must be thawed by resolving the root cause of the freeze. One of the common causes of a Time Machine
freeze is when the database is de-registered from NDB without removing the Time Machine. This can happen
when the administrator wants to move the database to a different NDB instance or cluster, or when the
database is accidentally de-registered. In this case, the Time Machine becomes orphaned and frozen, and
cannot be used for any operations. To complete the request to refresh a database clone from a new manual
snapshot, the administrator must first re-register the database in NDB using the same database name and ID as
before. This will automatically thaw the Time Machine and resume its operation. The administrator can then
create a new manual snapshot from the Time Machine and use it to refresh the database clone. The other
options are not correct, as they either require unnecessary steps or do not address the root cause of the
freeze.
