Question #152
An administrator was asked to change the snapshot schedule for a given database. The administrator discovered that the time machine is in a paused state.
How should the administrator change the schedule?
- A . Select the Time Machine; under Action select Update end define an appropriate schedule.
- B . Clone the Time Machine and define an appropriate schedule for the clone.
- C . Select Time Machine: Under actions Resume the Time Machine and then Update to define an appropriate schedule.
- D . Clone the database and define an appropriate schedule for the clone.
Correct Answer: A
A
Explanation:
According to the Nutanix Database Automation (NCP-DB) learning documents, an administrator can change the snapshot schedule for a given database by selecting the Time Machine, then under Action, select Update and define an appropriate schedule1. This is because the Time Machine in Nutanix Era allows you to specify the number of backups or snapshots the time machine should take, the time of day it takes those snapshots, and the day of the week it takes weekly or monthly backups1. These options help you build a complete schedule of time machine capture operations1. Even if the Time Machine is in a paused state, the administrator can still update the schedule1. Cloning the Time Machine or the database is not necessary for changing the snapshot schedule1.

Question #153
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.
Correct Answer: C
C
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.

Question #155
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
Correct Answer: C
C
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.
