QuestionQ1

Section 1 – Deploy and Configure an NDB Solution

Which minimum account access level is required in Prism Element to deploy NDB?

Explanation

Nutanix Database Service requires a Prism Element account with at least the Cluster Administrator role for initial setup and for adding a Nutanix cluster. This role provides the cluster-administration permissions needed for NDB operations without requiring user-account administration privileges.

QuestionQ2

Section 4 – Administer an NDB Environment

A DBA ran a script that corrupted an Oracle DB managed by NDB. A few minutes later, the NDB administrator is asked to create a copy of the DB by using the most recent available snapshot.

Which action should be performed?

Explanation

Nutanix Database Service Time Machine snapshots are recovery points from which a new database clone can be created. Selecting the latest available snapshot and creating a clone produces a separate copy of the Oracle database at that snapshot’s state.

QuestionQ3

Section 1 – Deploy and Configure an NDB Solution

A new web application supports up to 200 simultaneous connections to a PostgreSQL database. An administrator must configure the system to provision the database servers.

Which action would most easily help the administrator accomplish this goal?

Explanation

A Database Parameters profile centrally defines PostgreSQL server settings, including parameters that control connection capacity, and can be applied during database-server provisioning. High availability concerns redundancy rather than configuring the concurrent-connection limit.

QuestionQ4

Section 1 – Deploy and Configure an NDB Solution

An administrator initially configured storage for an Oracle database running on Nutanix NDB with ASMLib. The administrator wants to scale the size of the database.

What should the administrator do to increase the database size most efficiently?

Explanation

Nutanix NDB supports online database storage scaling using established best practices. Resizing the existing NDB-managed vDisks uses the native storage-scaling workflow and avoids the additional configuration and disruption associated with adding disks, attaching an external LUN, or migrating to a new database.

QuestionQ5

Section 4 – Administer an NDB Environment

A new administrator must change the NDB GUI password by using the CLI.

Which command accomplishes this task?

Explanation

The NDB GUI password is reset from the era-server CLI by running security password reset. The sudo passwd era command instead resets the Linux password for the era user, which is the NDB CLI password.
