Discuss Nutanix NCP-DB Exam Topic 5 Question 11

What behavior is observed when applying patch profiles as a Super Admin?

AUnpublished patches can be applied.

BPublished patches cannot be applied if currently deprecated.

CHidden patches can be applied.

DDeprecated patches can be applied.

Suggested Answer: B

In the context of Nutanix Database Automation (NCP-DB), a Super Admin has the authority to apply patch profiles. However, if a patch is marked as deprecated, even if it's published, it cannot be applied.This is because deprecation is a status that indicates the patch is outdated or has been superseded by a newer version, and thus should not be used1.This behavior ensures that only the most up-to-date and secure patches are applied to the system, maintaining the integrity and security of the database environment1.

Hidden patches? That's a new one for me!

I disagree, published patches should be restricted if deprecated.

Shonda 11 months ago

Wait, can deprecated patches really be applied? That seems off.

Gennie 11 months ago

Yeah, I've seen that too!

Lettie 11 months ago

I think unpublished patches can definitely be applied.

Lorrine 11 months ago

I thought deprecated patches could still be applied under certain conditions, but I might be mixing it up with another topic.

Na 12 months ago

I practiced a similar question, and I feel like hidden patches might be a trick option here.

I remember something about deprecated patches not being applicable, but I can't recall the specifics.

I think unpublished patches can be applied, but I'm not entirely sure if that's the right answer.

I'm a little confused by the wording of the question. What exactly do they mean by "behavior" when applying patch profiles? Is it about what patches can be applied, or something else? I'll have to read it over a few times.

Okay, I've got this. As a Super Admin, you can apply unpublished patches that regular users can't access. That's option A. The other options don't sound quite right to me.

Gail 1 year ago

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know Super Admins have special access, but I'm not sure exactly what that means for applying patches. I'll have to review my notes on patch management.

This seems like a straightforward question about patch profiles and Super Admin privileges. I'll need to think through the different options carefully.

Dalene 1 year ago

The VM-host affinity rules sound promising. I'll make sure to review that option closely and see if it aligns with the Nutanix best practices mentioned.

Corazon 1 year ago

Hmm, I'm not sure about this one. I'll need to review my notes on Veritas commands to be confident in the answer.

Greater popularity of long-haul holidays? I'm not sure how that would be a threat to BCA. That could actually increase demand for their services. I'll have to think that one through more carefully.

Unpublished patches, hidden gems, or deprecated relics - the life of a Super Admin is never dull!
