Discuss Nutanix NCP-DB Exam Topic 2 Question 30

When an Oracle database is upgraded using Era, what is the type of upgrade category?

AIn-place upgrade

BOut-of-place upgrade

CDisruptive upg raze

DNon-disruptive upgrade

Suggested Answer: C, D

To create a software profile version for a newly-released Oracle ISc patch, an administrator should follow these steps:

Download the required patch from MyOracle Support1. This is because Oracle patches are typically available from MyOracle Support, not Microsoft Support.

Apply the patch to the Oracle Home/Grid Home on a cloned VM of the gold image using OPatchAuto1. OPatchAuto is a utility provided by Oracle that automates the process of applying patches to a database.

Ensure success of patch application1. It's important to verify that the patch has been applied successfully to avoid any issues down the line.

Create a new software profile version from the original software profile using the cloned VM where OPatchAuto was run successfully using Era GUI1. This step is necessary to ensure that the new patch is included in the software profile.

Mark the original patch profile as hidden1. This step is optional but can be useful for keeping the software profile clean and organized.

Please note that these answers are based on the information available as of my last update in 2021 and may need to be verified with the most recent Nutanix Database Automation (NCP-DB) documentation or resources.

I thought it was an out-of-place upgrade at first!

Candida 11 months ago

Yup, in-place upgrades are a different thing.

Rodrigo 11 months ago

Wait, are we sure about that?

Mona 11 months ago

Totally agree, D is the right choice.

Malcom 11 months ago

It's a non-disruptive upgrade!

Charlene 11 months ago

I thought "In-place upgrade" was more common, but I guess it depends on the context of the upgrade with Era.

Lilli 12 months ago

I feel like we practiced a similar question, and I think "Non-disruptive upgrade" was the answer, but I could be mixing it up.

Adell 12 months ago

I remember studying about disruptive vs. non-disruptive upgrades, but I can't recall which one Era specifically uses.

Lawana 1 year ago

I think the upgrade category might be "Out-of-place upgrade," but I'm not entirely sure.

This is a good question to test our understanding of Oracle upgrade types. I'll carefully consider each option and select the one that best matches the description of an Oracle upgrade using the Era tool.

Shantay 1 year ago

I'm a little confused by the wording of the question. Does "Era" refer to a specific Oracle upgrade tool? I'll need to double-check the details on that before selecting an answer.

Miles 1 year ago

Okay, I've got this. Based on my understanding, an "in-place" upgrade is the type where the database is upgraded on the same server, while an "out-of-place" upgrade involves setting up a new server and migrating the database. I'll go with option A.

Ronald 1 year ago

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about the difference between "disruptive" and "non-disruptive" upgrades. I'll need to review those concepts before answering.

Hester 1 year ago

This seems like a straightforward question about Oracle database upgrades. I'll need to think carefully about the differences between in-place and out-of-place upgrades.

Disruptive upg raze? Is that when the database upgrades itself and then demands a raise?

I'm going to have to say D) Non-disruptive upgrade. I don't want to have to tell my boss that the database is down for an upgrade. That would be a 'disruptive upg raze' of my career!

In-place upgrade, option A, might be quicker but it can be risky. It's always better to go with a safer option like D) Non-disruptive upgrade.

I think B) Out-of-place upgrade could also be a good option. It allows for a separate environment to test the upgrade before applying it to the production database.

I agree, D) Non-disruptive upgrade is the way to go. It's important to keep things running smoothly.

Mitsue 1 year ago

I'm going to have to go with B) Out-of-place upgrade. It just seems like the safest option to me, even if it takes a bit more work.

Meaghan 1 year ago

D) Non-disruptive upgrade sounds like the way to go. Who wants their database to be down for an upgrade? Not me!

But I heard that Era allows for non-disruptive upgrades as well.

Allene 1 year ago

Hmm, I've heard of in-place and out-of-place upgrades, but 'disruptive upg raze'? I wonder if that's a typo or a new Oracle feature I'm not aware of.

User 2: Yeah, I've never heard of that before. It must be a mistake.
