D: Add VLAN, Define IP range, Create Network Profile.
Correct Answer:
B. Create Network Profile, Select the VLAN, Define IP Range.
Explanation

The procedure to create a Network Profile in Nutanix Database Service (NDB) involves initiating the creation process, selecting a pre-existing VLAN that has been added to NDB, and then defining the network specifics. This includes the IP address range for the database server VMs, the gateway IP address, and the subnet mask. This profile encapsulates the network configuration that NDB will use for subsequent database provisioning operations on that specific VLAN. The VLAN must be added to NDB before it can be selected within the profile creation wizard.

Why Incorrect

A. The IP range is defined after selecting the VLAN within the network profile creation wizard, not before adding or selecting the VLAN.
C. Adding the VLAN is a prerequisite step, but the question asks for the procedure to create the profile, which starts with creation, then selection, then definition.
D. The IP range is defined as part of the network profile creation, not as a separate step before it.

References

1. Nutanix Database Service (NDB) User Guide v2.5: Administration > Network Administration > Creating a Network Profile. The guide outlines the steps: "In the Create Network Profile window, do the following: 1. Select a VLAN from the drop-down list. 2. Specify the Gateway, Subnet Mask, and DNS server IP addresses. 3. Specify the IP Address Range." This confirms the sequence is selecting the VLAN then defining the IP range.
