Nutanix Exam NCP-MCA Topic 8 Question 76 Discussion

Actual exam question for Nutanix's NCP-MCA exam

Question #: 76
Topic #: 8

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?

ASet mount_path = u01/app/backup as a runtime variable

BSet mount_path = u01/app/backup as a runtime replica

CSet mount_path = u01/app/backup as a runtime task

DSet mount_path = u01/app/backup as a runtime service

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

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:

I'm going with option B. Replicating the mount_path across VMs is the best way to ensure consistency and accessibility for the backup files.

Haha, option D as a 'runtime service'? That's a good one! I don't think that's even a real thing. Option B is clearly the correct answer.

I'm not sure, but maybe setting it as a runtime service could also work. It sounds like it could be related to the deployment process.

Option A looks good to me. Using a runtime variable makes the most sense for a configuration setting like this.
