While adding Time Machine data access to a Nutanix cluster, when is a storage container mapping needed

  1. When the source database and NDB Server containers are different.
  2. When the source database and NDB VM are on the same container.
  3. When the source and destination database containers are different.
  4. When the source database and NDB provisioning container are the same.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

Time Machine data access is a feature of Nutanix Database Service (NDB) that allows you to access a point-in-time snapshot of a database without restoring it. To use this feature, you need to create a

Data Access Management (DAM) policy that defines the access mode, the source database, the destination cluster, and the storage container mapping. The storage container mapping is needed when the source database and the NDB Server containers are different, because NDB needs to know where to store the metadata and the clone of the source database. If the source database and the NDB Server containers are the same, then NDB will use the same container for both the metadata and the clone.

An administrator needs to maintain five days of time-travel capability to any second, plus an additional seven days of discrete recovery at a daily interval. How should the administrator define the Frequency and retention on the SLA?

  1. · Continuous log retention (days): 7
    · Daily snapshot retention (days): 5
  2. · Continuous log retention (days): 5
    · Weekly snapshot retention (weeks): 1
  3. · Weekly snapshot retention (weeks): 1
    · Continuous log retention (days): 7
  4. · Daily snapshot retention (days): 7
    · Continuous log retention (days): 5

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

The correct answer is D because it meets the requirements of maintaining five days of time-travel capability to any second and an additional seven days of discrete recovery at a daily interval. Continuous log retention allows the administrator to restore the database to any point in time within the specified number of days, while snapshot retention allows the administrator to restore the database to a specific point in time at a fixed interval. Therefore, by setting the daily snapshot retention to 7 days, the administrator can ensure that there is a discrete recovery point for each day of the week. By setting the continuous log retention to 5 days, the administrator can ensure that there is a time-travel capability to any second within the last five days. The other options do not meet the requirements because they either have less than five days of continuous log retention or less than seven days of snapshot retention.

What does an NDB compute profile contain?

  1. vCPUs, cores per vCPU, and the amount of memory for the database server VM.
  2. Windows domain name (FQDN), domain user, and password.
  3. VLAN that the new database server VM will use.
  4. An image of the database and operating system generated from the registered database server VM.

Answer(s): A

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 enables NDB Multi-Cluster on Cluster

  1. Cluster B is then registered with NDB.
    What are the different NDB Service VMs present in each Nutanix cluster?
  2. Cluster A: 1 NDB Server
    Cluster B: 1 NDB Agent
  3. Cluster A: 1 NDB Agent
    Cluster B: 1 NDB Server, 1 NDB Agent
  4. Cluster A: 1 NDB Server, 1 NDB Agent
    Cluster B: 1 NDB Agent
  5. Cluster A: 1 NDB Agent
    Cluster B: 1 NDB Server

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

NDB Multi-Cluster is a feature that allows multiple Nutanix clusters to share a common NDB service for database management and automation. NDB service consists of two components: NDB Server and NDB Agent. NDB Server is the central component that provides the web UI, REST API, and database orchestration logic. NDB Agent is the component that runs on each Nutanix cluster and communicates with the NDB Server to perform database operations.
When NDB Multi-Cluster is enabled on Cluster A, it becomes the primary cluster that hosts the NDB Server VM. Cluster B, which is registered with NDB, becomes a secondary cluster that hosts only the NDB Agent VM. Therefore, Cluster A has both NDB Server and NDB Agent, while Cluster B has only NDB Agent. This configuration allows Cluster B to leverage the NDB service running on Cluster A for database management and automation.

What is the first step to install NDB on a Nutanix AHV cluster?

  1. NDB is offered as a SaaS service and doesn't require any installations.
  2. Download the QCOW2 image file of NDB and upload it to Prism Element.
  3. Run LCM update to get the latest version of NDB.
  4. Open Prism Central and enable the NDB VM in the settings menu.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

To install NDB on a Nutanix AHV cluster, you need to download the QCOW2 image file of NDB from the Nutanix Support Portal and upload it to Prism Element. This image file contains the NDB software and the CentOS operating system. After uploading the image, you need to create a VM from the image and configure the network settings. Then, you need to register the NDB VM with Prism Central and enable the NDB service in the settings menu.
