NCP-DB practice question 30 of 35

What does an NDB compute profile contain?

Full set: 251 questions
Answer options
A: vCPUs, cores per vCPU, and the amount of memory for the database server VM. Correct answer
B: Windows domain name (FQDN), domain user, and password.
C: VLAN that the new database server VM will use.
D: An image of the database and operating system generated from the registered database server VM.
Correct Answer:
A. vCPUs, cores per vCPU, and the amount of memory for the database server VM.
Explanation

A compute profile in Nutanix Database Service (NDB) is a template that defines the virtual hardware specifications for a database server virtual machine (VM). It standardizes the allocation of compute resources by specifying the number of virtual CPUs (vCPUs), the number of cores per vCPU, and the total amount of memory. This allows administrators to create consistent and appropriately sized database server VMs during provisioning operations, ensuring performance and resource management standards are met across the environment.

Why Incorrect

B. This describes a Windows Domain Profile, which contains credentials and domain information for joining a Windows VM to an Active Directory domain.
C. This is a parameter within a Network Profile, which defines the network settings, including VLAN, IP address management, and gateway for the database server VM.
D. This describes a Software Profile Version. A software profile contains the database software, and a version is a specific image of the OS and database binaries.
