Discuss Nutanix NCP-DB Exam Topic 5 Question 24

Which two processes should an administrator take to create a software profile version for a newly-released Oracle ISc patch? (Choose

two.)

A1. Download the required patch from Microsoft Support.
2. Apply the patch to the Oracle Home/Grid Home on e cloned VM of the gold image using
OPatchAuto utiliv.
3. Ensure success of patch application.

B1. Create new software profile version from the original software profile using the cloned
VM where OPatchAuto was run successfully using Era Gul.
2. Mark the original patch profile as deprecated.

C1. Download the required patch from MyOracle Support
2. Apply the patch to the Oracle HomGrid Home on a cloned VM of the gold image using
O PatchAuto
3. Ensure success of patch application

D1. Create new software profile version from the original software profile using the cloned
VM where OPatchAuto was run successfully using Era Gul.
2. Mark the original patch profile as hidden.

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’m surprised they still use cloned VMs for this!

Antonio 11 months ago

I thought we were using Era Gul for everything now?

Leoma 11 months ago

Wait, why would you mark it as deprecated? Seems risky.

Sonia 11 months ago

Definitely agree, C is the way to go!

Caprice 11 months ago

Gotta download the patch from MyOracle Support first!

Candra 11 months ago

I’m pretty sure we have to ensure the patch application is successful, but I’m confused about whether we should mark the original profile as deprecated or hidden.

Daisy 12 months ago

I feel like we might need to apply the patch on a cloned VM first, but I can't recall if it was specifically for Oracle Home or Grid Home.

Katheryn 12 months ago

I remember practicing a question about creating a software profile version, and I think marking the original profile as deprecated was important.

Gerald 1 year ago

I think we need to download the patch from MyOracle Support, but I'm not sure if we should use OPatchAuto or something else.

Stefania 1 year ago

I'm feeling pretty confident about this one. The steps seem clear - download the patch, apply it, then create a new software profile version. The only tricky part is remembering to mark the original as deprecated.

Alfreda 1 year ago

Okay, I've got this. First, download the patch from MyOracle Support, then apply it using OPatchAuto on a cloned VM. After that, create a new software profile version using Era GUI and mark the original as deprecated.

Tawanna 1 year ago

Hmm, I'm a bit confused about the difference between marking the original profile as deprecated vs. hidden. I'll need to review those options carefully.

Dwight 1 year ago

This question seems pretty straightforward. I think the key is to focus on the steps required to create a new software profile version after applying the patch.

A is like trying to put a square peg in a round hole. Definitely not the right approach for this Oracle patch.

C'mon, it's clearly C! I mean, who downloads patches from Microsoft Support for an Oracle ISC patch? That's just ridiculous.
