An administrator has been asked to provision a new Oracle single instance database, but cannot proceed with the first step of the wizard. Which statement best describes the current situation?
When an administrator cannot proceed with the first step of the wizard to provision a new Oracle single instance database in NDB, the most likely reason is that a software profile for Oracle is missing. NDB requires a software profile (which defines the database version, patches, and configuration) to provision a database instance. Without a profile created from a reference VM or uploaded manually, the wizard cannot proceed, as it relies on this profile to configure the instance correctly.
Option A (Time Machine is not configured) is incorrect because Time Machine is optional for backups and not required for initial provisioning.
Option B (Software profile is missing) is correct as it is a mandatory prerequisite for provisioning any database instance.
Option C (No remote clusters are configured) is incorrect because remote clusters are relevant for multi-cluster setups, not single instance provisioning.
Option D (A snapshot must be taken on the original DB) is incorrect because snapshots are for protection, not a prerequisite for provisioning.
The administrator must create or import a software profile to resolve this issue.
