What is the first step to install NDB on a Nutanix AHV cluster?
Correct Answer: B
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. References: Nutanix Support & Insights, Professional Services: NDB Database Cloning
NCP-DB Exam Question 7
How is a software profile created?
Correct Answer: B
Nutanix Database Automation (NCP-DB) simplifies database provisioning using predefined profiles customized to your environment. Software profiles, which are templates of the OS and database engine, allow you to maintain consistent software versions1. You then use additional profiles to customize that deployment1.
NCP-DB Exam Question 8
Refer to the exhibit. An administrator, whose accounts are shown in the exhibit, is trying to add a new database admin as a local user to NDB, but is unable to complete the task. What is most likely the cause of the issue?
Correct Answer: C
Based on the exhibit, the administrator is logged in with the Database Admin account ([email protected]), which does not have the permission to create local users on NDB. Only the Super Admin account (bsmith) has this permission, as indicated by the User type column. Therefore, the administrator needs to log out and log in again with the Super Admin account to add a new database admin as a local user to NDB.

NCP-DB Exam Question 9
What is the purpose of Data Access Management policies in NDBMulti-Cluster?
Correct Answer: C
Data Access Management (DAM) policies are a feature of NDB Multi-Cluster that allows you to control the access and availability of time machine data across different Nutanix clusters. You can use DAM policies to specify which clusters can access the time machine data of a source database, and which clusters can replicate the time machine data for backup or disaster recovery purposes. DAM policies help you to optimize the storage and network resources, as well as ensure the security and compliance of your database workloads. The purpose of DAM policies is not to register multiple Nutanix clusters in NDB, as this is done by using the Add Cluster option in the NDB settings page. The purpose of DAM policies is also not to perform snapshot operations on a single Nutanix cluster, as this is done by using the Time Machine feature in the NDB dashboard. The purpose of DAM policies is also not to remove data accessibility of a time machine across all registered Nutanix clusters in NDB, as this is done by using the Delete option in the Time Machine page.

NCP-DB Exam Question 10
An administrator needs to distribute NDB management plane components. Which NDB HA VM needs to be deployed on the same L2 network?
Correct Answer: D
NDB High Availability (HA) is a feature that ensures the availability and reliability of the NDB management plane components, such as the API Server, the Repository VMs, and the NDB Agents. To enable NDB HA, you need to deploy at least three HA Proxy VMs on the same L2 network as the NDB Server VM. The HA Proxy VMs act as load balancers and health monitors for the NDB management plane components, and they also provide a single endpoint for accessing the NDB APIs and UI.
