According to the Nutanix Database Automation (NCP-DB) Learning documents12, to clone a source production database to an existing development server, the following actions must be taken:
A: The development server must be registered by Era in order to receive the clone1. This is because Nutanix Era is a database management tool that manages the lifecycle of databases and their copies. Registering the development server with Era allows it to manage the database on that server.
D: The development server must have the IP and credentials provided during cloning2. This is necessary for Era to access the development server and perform the cloning operation. The IP address and credentials are used to establish a connection to the development server. Without these details, Era would not be able to access the server and perform the cloning operation.
