Topic	Details
Topic 1	Administer an NDB Environment: While focusing on the administration of an NDB environment, this topic focuses on managing NDB profiles, applying procedural concepts, and managing networks in NDB. Lastly, the topic explains sub-topics of managing access controls in NDB and identifying how to use NDB APIs and CLI.
Topic 2	Operate and Maintain an NDB Environment: Application of procedural concepts to register database server, provision databases, and test and publish database patches. Additionally, the topic explains the right method to apply Linux OS patches. Lastly, it delves into databases and troubleshooting of NDB operations.
Topic 3	Protect NDB-managed Databases Using Time Machine: SLA retention policies, source databases, clones, protection of databases, and Data Access Management (DAM) policies are discussed in this topic.

QUESTION 48
A request is received to refresh a database clone from a new manual snapshot. When the administrator attempts to create the new snapshot from the Time Machine, it is in a Frozen state.
What causes a Time Machine to enter the Frozen state and what are the administrator’s options to complete the request?

Cause: The Time Machine enters a Frozen state when the database is de-registered without removing the Time Machine.
Resolution: The Time Machine must be paused, then the database re-registered with a new Time Machine and a new clone created.

Cause: The Time Machine enters a Frozen state when the database is de-registered without removing the Time Machine.
Resolution: To complete the request the database must be re-registered in NDB, create a new Time Machine and create a new clone.

Cause: The Time Machine enters a Frozen state after too many snapshot or log catchup failures.Resolution: Remediate the snapshot or log catchup failures, this thaws the Time Machine, allowing normal operations to continue and the request can be completed.

A Time Machine is a core construct of the copy data management service in NDB that captures and manages the data of a database to deliver a recovery point objective (RPO) SLA. A Time Machine can enter a Frozen state for various reasons, such as database de-registration, snapshot or log catchup failures, or manual intervention. When a Time Machine is in a Frozen state, it stops taking new snapshots and log backups, and cannot perform any clone, refresh, or restore operations. To resume the normal operation of a Time Machine, it must be thawed by resolving the root cause of the freeze. One of the common causes of a Time Machine freeze is when the database is de-registered from NDB without removing the Time Machine. This can happen when the administrator wants to move the database to a different NDB instance or cluster, or when the database is accidentally de-registered. In this case, the Time Machine becomes orphaned and frozen, and cannot be used for any operations. To complete the request to refresh a database clone from a new manual snapshot, the administrator must first re-register the database in NDB using the same database name and ID as before. This will automatically thaw the Time Machine and resume its operation. The administrator can then create a new manual snapshot from the Time Machine and use it to refresh the database clone. The other options are not correct, as they either require unnecessary steps or do not address the root cause of the freeze. References:

QUESTION 52
When the NDB upgrade includes updates to the out-of-the-box (OOB) software profiles, what happens to older OOB software profile versions when upgrading NDB?

If the database VMs using the software profiles are using Time Machines and have had a successful snapshot in the last 24 hours before the patch.

If the software profiles are not in use, NDB deletes all versions of the profiles from the metadata and protection domains.

If the database VM using the software profiles are shutdown, NDB deletes all versions of the profiles from the metadata and protection domains.

If the database VMs are not using the base version of the software profile NDB deletes all versions of the profiles from the metadata and protection domains.
