For an NDB offline upgrade, you need to download the upgrade bundle from the Nutanix Support Portal and copy it to the NDB server. Then, you need to use the NDB CLI commandupload upgrade_bundlewith thepathparameter to specify the location of the upgrade bundle file. This command will upload the upgrade bundle to the NDB server and verify its integrity. After uploading the upgrade bundle, you can use theupgradecommand to perform the upgrade.Reference:Nutanix Support & Insights,Cisco Nexus Data Broker Deployment Guide, Release 3.10.x

The Database Agent is used to temporarily store the transaction logs of the source database before they are copied to the log. This is a critical component for ensuring data consistency and recovery in database operations.

Reference: Nutanix Database Automation documentation, focusing on database agents and their roles in transaction log management.

The Global Service Level Agreement (SLA) feature of Era allows an administrator to create Time Machine policies in a Multi-Cluster configuration1.This feature provides a unified way to manage and enforce backup and replication policies across multiple clusters, ensuring consistent data protection and recovery across the entire environment1.

The Nutanix Era Time Machine provides various capabilities depending on the Service Level Agreement (SLA) selected during database registration1.For a database with a Bronze SLA, the Time Machine supports both ''Log Catch up'' and 'Snapshots'2.''Log Catch up'' allows the Time Machine to keep up with the latest changes in the database by capturing log data2.''Snapshots'' are point-in-time copies of the database that can be used for recovery or cloning2.

Nutanix Database Service (NDB) uses software profiles for database patching to keep your databases secure and optimized1.When a new database is provisioned, it will be on your current environment's database version to maintain consistency and stop version sprawl1.Therefore, after an administrator has applied an Oracle security patch to a database server VM registered in Era, the change can be made available to other existing database instances by creating a new software profile in Era from the patched VM1.

In a Nutanix Era setup where Multi-Cluster is enabled and the Era Server storage container and Era provisioning container are different on the Era cluster, the administrator should configure a storage mapping between the Era server container and the remote container that is used for provisioning databases1.This is because Nutanix Era uses the storage container specified during the registration of the Nutanix cluster for provisioning databases1.Therefore, a storage mapping needs to be established between the Era server container and the remote container used for provisioning to ensure that the databases are provisioned correctly1.

According to the Nutanix Database Automation (NCP-DB) learning documents, before using Era to provision a MSSQL AG cluster, an administrator must configure a private network in Era for the heartbeat traffic1. This is because the heartbeat traffic is crucial for maintaining the health and status of the MSSQL AG cluster. The heartbeat traffic is used by the nodes in the cluster to communicate with each other and check the status of the other nodes.If a node does not receive a heartbeat from another node within a certain time frame, it assumes that the other node has failed and takes appropriate action234.

In Nutanix Database Automation (NCP-DB), the Database Parameters profile is used to manage database-specific settings, including the maximum number of database connections.This profile would be the appropriate choice when an administrator needs to change these settings during the cloning workflow1.

In the Nutanix Era management interface, an administrator should perform an upgrade under theAdministration > Maintenancesection1.As part of the upgrade process, the Era server is upgraded first, followed by all the Era cluster agents and database server agents in parallel1.The Dashboard displays the current version and an option to upgrade the Era server to a latest version when a new version is available for upgrade1.This ensures that the Nutanix Era environment is always up-to-date with the latest features and security updates1.
