For a One-Click Upgrade of an NDB environment with internet access, the patch should be downloaded directly within the NDB interface. The "Administrator > Maintenance" section of NDB provides an option to connect to the Nutanix download repository (e.g., https://download.nutanix.com) and download the latest patch or upgrade bundle automatically. This streamlined process ensures compatibility and simplifies the upgrade workflow. The One-Click Upgrade feature then applies the downloaded patch to update NDB components efficiently.
Other options are incorrect:
A. Download the patch from the Nutanix Support Portal and upload via the NDB CLI: This is suitable for dark sites but unnecessary with internet access, as NDB can download directly.
C. Open Prism Central and deploy the current version of NDB from the Apps and Marketplace section: This is for initial deployment, not upgrading an existing NDB instance.
D. Open Prism Element and use LCM to update the software: Lifecycle Manager (LCM) is for Nutanix cluster updates, not NDB-specific upgrades.
Thus, the verified answer is B, leveraging NDB’s built-in maintenance capabilities.
