BPut the database instance into maintenance mode.

DMigrate a new software profile.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

Nutanix Database Service (NDB) supports automated minor version upgrades for PostgreSQL1.Before applying the patch, the administrator should create a new software profile2.This is because the software profile contains the database engine binaries and other software required to run the database engine2.Therefore, to apply a minor version upgrade, a new software profile with the updated binaries needs to be created2.Once the new software profile is created, it can be used to patch the PostgreSQL database2.

I bet the administrator is just sitting there, coffee in hand, wondering if they should call in sick for this one. 'Maintenance mode? Nah, let's just wing it!'

I think creating a new software profile could also be a good step before applying the patch, just to have a backup in case anything goes wrong.

I agree with Billye. Putting the database instance into maintenance mode ensures that there are no disruptions during the upgrade process.
