QUESTION 2
You want to perform the following operations for the DATA ASM disk group:
Verify the consistency of the disk.
Cross-check all the file extent maps and allocation tables for consistency.
Check whether the alias metadata directory and file directory are linked correctly.
Check that ASM metadata directories do not have unreachable allocated blocks.
Which command accomplishes these tasks?
A. ALTER DISKGROUP data CHECK;
B. ALTER DISKGROUP data CHECK DISK;
C. ALTER DISKGROUP data CHECK FILE;
D. ALTER DISKGROUP data CHECK DISK IN FAILURE GROUP 1;
Answer: A
Explanation:
Syntax: ALTER DISKGROUP <disk_group_id> CHECK [REPAIR | NOREPAIR];
The check_diskgroup_clause lets you verify the internal consistency of Oracle ASM disk group
metadata. The disk group must be mounted. Oracle ASM displays summary errors and writes the
details of the detected errors in the alert log.
The CHECK keyword performs the following operations:
Refer to here
QUESTION 3
Which two statements are true regarding the functionality of the remap command in ASMCMD?
(Choose two.)
A. It repairs blocks that have read disk I/O errors.
B. It checks whether the alias metadata directory and the file directory are linked correctly.
C. It repairs blocks by always reading them from the mirror copy and writing them to the original
location.
D. It reads the blocks from a good copy of an ASM mirror and rewrites them to an alternate
location on disk if the blocks on the original location cannot be read properly.
Answer: A,D
Explanation:
Reference from the Oracle document release v11.1 at here:
Repairs a range of physical blocks on a disk. The remap command only repairs blocks that have
read disk I/O errors. It does not repair blocks that contain corrupted contents, whether or not those
blocks can be read. The command assumes a physical block size of 512 bytes and supports all
allocation unit sizes (1 to 64 MB).
Reference from the Oracle document release v11.2 at here:
The remap command marks a range of blocks as unusable on the disk and relocates any data
allocated in that range.
QUESTION 4
What is the advantage of setting the ASM-preferred mirror read for the stretch cluster
configuration?
A. It improves resync operations.
B. This feature enables much faster file opens.
C. It improves performance as fewer extent pointers are needed in the shared pool.
D. It improves performance by reading from a copy of an extent closest to the node.
Answer: D
Explanation:
Preferred Read Failure Groups
When you configure Oracle ASM failure groups, it might be more efficient for a node to read from
an extent that is closest to the node, even if that extent is a secondary extent. In other words, you
can configure Oracle ASM to read from a secondary extent if that extent is closer to the node
instead of Oracle ASM reading from the primary copy which might be farther from the node. Using
the preferred read failure groups feature is most useful in extended clusters.
QUESTION 5
Examine the following command:
ALTER DISKGROUP data MOUNT FORCE;
In which scenario can you use the above command to mount the disk group?
A. when ASM disk goes offline
B. when one or more ASM files are dropped
C. when some disks in a disk group are offline
D. when some disks in a failure group for a disk group are rebalancing
Answer: C
Explanation:
In the FORCE mode, Oracle ASM attempts to mount the disk group even if it cannot discover all of
the devices that belong to the disk group. This setting is useful if some of the disks in a normal or
high redundancy disk group became unavailable while the disk group was dismounted. When
MOUNT FORCE succeeds, Oracle
ASM takes the missing disks offline.
If Oracle ASM discovers all of the disks in the disk group, then MOUNT FORCE fails. Therefore,
use the MOUNT FORCE setting only if some disks are unavailable. Otherwise, use NOFORCE.
In normal- and high-redundancy disk groups, disks from one failure group can be unavailable and
MOUNT FORCE will succeed. Also in high-redundancy disk groups, two disks in two different
failure groups can be unavailable and MOUNT FORCE will succeed. Any other combination of
unavailable disks causes the operation to fail, because Oracle ASM cannot guarantee that a valid
copy of all user data or metadata exists on the available disks.
Refer to here
QUESTION 6
Which background process of a database instance, using Automatic Storage Management (ASM),
connects as a foreground process into the ASM instance?
A. ASMB
B. PMON
C. RBAL
D. SMON
Answer: A
Explanation:
ASMB (ASM Background Process): Communicates with the ASM instance, managing storage and
providing statistics, runs in ASM instances when the ASMCMD cp command runs or when the
database instance first starts if the server parameter file is stored in ASM. ASMB also runs with
Oracle Cluster Registry on ASM.
RBAL (ASM Rebalance Master Process): In an ASM instance, it coordinates rebalance activity for
disk groups. In a database instances, it manages ASM disk groups.
PMON (Process Monitor): Monitors the other background processes and performs process
recovery when a server or dispatcher process terminates abnormally.
SMON (System Monitor Process): Performs critical tasks such as instance recovery and dead
transaction recovery, and maintenance tasks such as temporary space reclamation, data
dictionary cleanup, and undo tablespace management

You want all your colleagues to be able to access the compute node associated with an Oracle Database
Cloud - Database as a Service (DBaaS) instance. You want them to do so by using a custom host name
rather than an IP address regardless of the client machine (personal or provided by the company) that
they use for the access.
How would you enable this access?
A. Configure the Advanced Security Option (ASO).
B. Enable secure access to the DBaaS instance VNI and database instance from remote hosts by using SSH.
C. Contact the administrator of your company's intra net DNS and request a custom DNS record for the compute node's public IP address.
D. Edit the machine's/etc/hostsfile.
E. Resolve your domain name to the IP address of the DBaaS compute node by using the third-party domain registration vendor console.
Answer: C
Explanation:
You can associate a custom host name or domain name to the public IP address of a compute node
associated with your Oracle Database Cloud Service environment.
To associate a custom host name to the public IP address of a compute node, contact the administrator of
your DNS (Domain Name Service) and request a custom DNS record for the compute node's public IP
address. For example, if your domain is exampIe.com and you wanted to use clouddbl as the custom
host name for a compute node, you would request a DNS record that associates cIouddbI.exampIe.com to
your compute node's public IP address.

* ope
The system administrator account you use to connect to the compute node using SSH. This user can use the sudo command to perform operations that require root-user access.
* oracle
The Oracle Database administrator account you use to access the system and perform non-root database administration tasks.
* grid
The Oracle Grid Infrastructure administrator account you use to perform ASNI, ACFS, and cluster ware administration tasks.
* root

Linux user accounts that are provisioned on an Oracle Database Cloud Service deployment that hosts an Oracle Real Application Clusters (Oracle RAC) database:
* ope
The system administrator account you use to connect to the compute node using SSH. This user can use the sudo command to perform operations that require root-user access.
* oracle
The Oracle Database administrator account you use to access the system and perform non-root database administration tasks.
* grid
The Oracle Grid Infrastructure administrator account you use to perform ASNI, ACFS, and cluster ware administration tasks.
* root
The root administrator for the system. You do not have direct access to this account. To perform
operations that require root-user access, use the sudo command as the ope user.

Which two situations require that your Database as a Service (DBaaS) instance be scaled up?
A. The DBaaS instance is maxed out on semaphore sets.
B. The database instance has reached the limit in the Iicense_max_sessions database parameter.
C. The DBaaS instance is maxed out on CPU.
D. The database instance is out of space in the sysaux and system tablespaces.
E. The DBaaS instance is maxed out on storage.
F. The DBaaS instance is maxed out on semaphores.
Answer: C,E
Explanation:
Existing DBCS instances may scale up to bigger shapes in OCPU, IVIemory and Storage for vertical scaHng.
For horizontal scaling, DBCS provides RAC with the Extreme Performance option currently allowing applications to scale up to 2 nodes, each with a max of 160CPU shapes.
Note: An Oracle CPU (OCPU) provides CPU capacity equivalent of one physical core of an Intel Xeon processor with hyper threading enabled. Each OCPU corresponds to two hardware execution threads,
known as vCPUs.
