An administrator wants to create two database VMS using replicas and needs to access the same mount_path for hosting the backup files during the deployment on both VMs,
What should the administrator do on the Blueprint to achieve this requirement?
Runtime variables are used to pass information between different components of a Blueprint, such as VMs, services, tasks, and replicas. They can be defined in the Blueprint YAML file or in the UI. By setting the mount_path as a runtime variable, the administrator can ensure that both database VMs use the same value for the mount_path during the deployment. This way, the backup files can be hosted on the same location for both VMs.Reference:
[Nutanix University: NCP-MCA 6.5 Exam Prep - Runtime Variables], video 2: ''Runtime Variables''
How often does Self-Service (formerly Calm) automatically clean up the database?
Self-Service (formerly Calm) automatically cleans up the database every 3 months. This regular maintenance task helps manage database size and performance by removing old and unnecessary data.

Which statement best describes Categories in Self-Service (formerly Calm)?
Categories in Self-Service (formerly Calm) are metadata labels that are assigned to cloud resources. These categories help organize and manage resources by tagging them with specific attributes, making it easier to apply policies and manage the infrastructure.

Refer to the exhibit.
A subset of Linux VMs are required to be gracefully shutdown each evening. A Playbook is created to shutdown the targeted VMs, however the error message shown in the exhibit is displayed when the Playbook is executed.
What is causing the error message?
Refer to the exhibit.
An administrator created the Playbook shown in the exhibit to allow for manual reduction of vCPU count on any selected VM within their environment. During a test run of the play on one of the VMs running in development, the administrator ran into an error that the Playbook cannot be completed against the selected VM.
Here are the details of the affected VM:
VM Name: VM2
vCPU: 4
RAM: 8 GB
OS: Windows 2016
Hypervisor: AHV
