Nutanix NCP-DB Exam - Topic 3 Question 22 Discussion

Actual exam question for Nutanix's NCP-DB exam
Question #: 22
Topic #: 3
[All NCP-DB Questions]

An administrator needs to apply a minor version upgrade of the PostgreSQL software to an Era provisioned instance.

Which step should the administrator take before applying the patch?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

Nutanix Database Service (NDB) supports automated minor version upgrades for PostgreSQL1.Before applying the patch, the administrator should create a new software profile2.This is because the software profile contains the database engine binaries and other software required to run the database engine2.Therefore, to apply a minor version upgrade, a new software profile with the updated binaries needs to be created2.Once the new software profile is created, it can be used to patch the PostgreSQL database2.

Just updating the software profile should be enough, right?

Wait, do we really need to do that every time? Seems excessive.

You definitely need to put the instance in maintenance mode first.

I think the right step is to go to the Software Profile Version widget and click update. That seems to align with what we practiced.

I remember practicing a similar question where we had to update software profiles, but I can't recall if that was for a minor or major upgrade.

I think we might need to put the database instance into maintenance mode first, but I'm not entirely sure if that's the only step.

I got this one! The correct answer is to put the database instance into maintenance mode. That way, we can ensure the upgrade goes smoothly without any interruptions to the running system. Gotta love those minor version upgrades!

I'm a little confused here. Does "maintenance mode" mean the same thing as "migration"? I'm not sure which option is the right one to choose. Maybe I should re-read the question more carefully.

Nah, I don't think that's necessary. The question specifically says it's a minor version upgrade, so I'm pretty sure we can just go to the Software Profile Version widget and click update. Easy peasy!

Hmm, I'm not sure about that. Wouldn't it be better to create a new software profile first, just to be on the safe side? That way, we can test the upgrade in a separate environment before applying it to the production instance.

I bet the administrator is just sitting there, coffee in hand, wondering if they should call in sick for this one. 'Maintenance mode? Nah, let's just wing it!'
