Nutanix Updated NCP-DB Exam Questions and Answers by imaan

To add Time Machine data access to a Nutanix cluster, the first step is to register the cluster in NDB. This will allow NDB to discover and manage the databases and snapshots on the cluster. You can register multiple Nutanix clusters in NDB using the Add Cluster option in the NDB settings page. You can also specify the cluster role, such as source, target, or both, depending on the data access and replication needs. Enabling or disabling multi-cluster in NDB is not the first step, as this is a global setting that affects the entire NDB instance. Deleting the TM data from the source database is not the first step, as this will remove the data protection and availability of the database. References:

 Nutanix Era supports a variety of database engines, including Oracle, PostgreSQL, MySQL, and Microsoft SQL Server1. However, when it comes to rolling back a patch using the Command Line Interface (CLI), this feature is specifically supported for the Oracle database engine1. This allows for efficient validation of critical database updates and simplifies database rollback1. Please note that while Era does provide support for other database engines, the ability to rollback a patch using CLI is currently specific to Oracle1.

The correct answer is A because the Windows Domain profile is the profile that includes information related to the SQL service startup account and the NDB worker service account. A Windows Domain profile is a collection of settings that define how NDB manages Windows-based database servers and databases. It contains the following information:

• The domain name and credentials to join the database server VMs to the domain
• The SQL service startup account and password to run the SQL Server service on the database server VMs
• The NDB worker service account and password to run the NDB Database Agent service on the database server VMs
• The SQL Server authentication mode to use for the databases

By using a Windows Domain profile, the administrator can simplify the database provisioning process by applying the same settings to multiple database server VMs and databases, without having to manually enter them each time. The other options are not correct because they describe different types of profiles that do not include information related to the SQL service startup account and the NDB worker service account. Option B is not correct because the Network profile is a profile that defines the network settings for the database server VMs, such as the IP address, subnet mask, gateway, DNS, and VLAN. Option C is not correct because the Database Parameter profile is a profile that defines the database parameters for the databases, such as the memory, CPU, storage, and performance settings. Option D is not correct because the Software profile is a profile that defines the software settings for the database server VMs and databases, such as the database engine version, edition, and features. References: Nutanix Database Management & Automation (NDMA) course, Nutanix Certified Professional - Database Automation (NCP-DB) certification, Nutanix NCP-DB Certification Exam Syllabus and Study Guide, Nutanix Database Services: Database modernization with Era - Now available

 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 the Database 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.
