Within NDB, an administrator needs to register a PostgreSQL database server VM with a database.

To register a PostgreSQL database server VM with a database on NDB, the database data and log files must be located on a separate mount point from the operating system and the binary installation. This is because NDB uses the mount point as the identifier for the database server VM and the database. If the data and log files are on the same mount point as the operating system or the binary installation, NDB will not be able to recognize them as a valid database server VM or database. Therefore, the administrator should create a separate mount point for the data and log files and specify it during the registration process. References: Nutanix Database Automation (NCP-DB) Course Details, Nutanix Database Automation (NCP-DB) Certification Details, Nutanix Database Automation (NCP-DB) YouTube Playlist, [How to Allow Remote Access to PostgreSQL database], [5 Ways to Host PostgreSQL Databases] , [Starting the Database Server].
