Which two statements about the Single Client Access Name (SCAN) feature are correct?

A. In typical Grid Infrastructure Installation, the SCAN name defaults to the cluster name
B. A SCAN listener runs on every cluster node
C. SCAN is available with any version of Oracle 11g RAC
D. SCAN provides location Independence of Oracle RAC databases in the cluster

Answer: A,B
Explanation: SCAN components in a cluster:
SCAN Name will represent the cluster in the network. SCAN Name needs to be registered in DNS
and resolved using round-robin algorithm. To test the round-robin algorithm, perform nslookup on
the SCAN Name. The DNS server should return those 3 set of IP Address in different order each
time

Incorrect:
Not C: Only from R2:

Prior to Oracle 11g R1 RAC, client connection to RAC Cluster will use each node VIP (virtual IP)
address. So each time a node is added to the cluster, the client tnsnames.ora file needs to be
updated with the new VIP addition.

"Pass Any Exam. Any Time." - www.actualtests.com 11

Oracle 11g R2 RAC introduces SCAN (Single Client Access Name) to handle that problem. SCAN
provides single name from clients to access the database running in the cluster.

QUESTION NO: 18

How many Oracle Clusterware interconnect networks are required and why?

A. Only one; minimum requirement

B. Two; redundancy is required
C. One per node in the cluster
D. One per database in the cluster

Answer: C
Explanation: Oracle Clusterware requires a cluster interconnect configured for inter-node
communication.

Note:
* The Oracle Clusterware interconnect is a non-traditional interconnect and should be considered,
in shared global cache applications, such as Oracle RAC, to be an I/O subsystem for inter-node
global cache buffer transfers with the latency and bandwidth requirements of high performance
cluster computing.

* The interconnect network is a private network using a switch (or multiple switches) that only the
nodes in the cluster can access.

And

Oracle Clusterware requires that you connect the nodes in the cluster to a private network by way
of a private interconnect. The private interconnect is a separate network that you configure
between cluster nodes. The interconnect used by Oracle RAC is the same interconnect that
Oracle Clusterware uses. This interconnect should be a private interconnect, meaning it is not
accessible to nodes that are not members of the cluster.

How do you modify Kernel Parameters to meet the minimum requirements for Oracle RAC?
(Select all that Apply)

A. Pre-Oracle RAC 11g Release 2 manually changing the kernel Parameters is required to meet
Oracle RAC minimum requirements.
B. With Oracle Grid Infrastructure / Oracle RAC 11g Release 2 fixup-scripts (CVU generated) can
be used to set the appropriate kernel Parameters.
C. The Oracle Enterprise Manager can be used to modify kernel Parameters before the
Installation of the Oracle RAC stack.
D. You do not need to change any Kernel Parameters for an Oracle RAC installation.

Answer: A,B
Explanation: A: In Pre-Oracle RAC 11g Release 2 we did manually changed the kernel
Parameters to meet Oracle RAC minimum requirements

B: With Oracle Clusterware 11g release 2, Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) detects when the
minimum requirements for an installation are not met, and creates shell scripts, called fixup
scripts, to finish incomplete system configuration steps. If OUI detects an incomplete task, then it
generates fixup scripts (runfixup.sh). You can run the fixup script after you click the Fix and Check
Again Button.

You also can have CVU generate fixup scripts before installation.

B. You must choose a RAID stripe size that is a power of 2 and greater than the ASM allocation
unit.
C. Oracle ASMLIB is not a prerequisite to configure ASM.
D. You must change user and group ownership of devices to oracle:dba.

Answer: C,D
Explanation: C:
* ASMLib is an optional support library for the Automatic Storage Management feature of the
Oracle Database.
* Automatic Storage Management (ASM) simplifies administration of Oracle related files by
allowing the administrator to reference disk groups rather than individual disks and files, which
ASM manages internally. On Linux, ASM is capable of referencing disks as raw devices or by
using the ASMLib software.

D: Setting the ownership to oracle:dba is one example that corresponds to the default settings.

Is not a valid option for configuring redundancy for ASM disk groups?

A. Internal
B. Normal
C. High
D. External

Answer: A
Explanation: There are three types of disk groups based on the ASM redundancy level.
he redundancy levels are:

* External redundancy

ASM does not provide mirroring redundancy and relies on the storage system to provide RAID
functionality. Any write error cause a forced dismount of the disk group. All disks must be located
to successfully mount the disk group.

* Normal redundancy

ASM provides two-way mirroring. By default all files are mirrored so that there are two copies of
every data extent. A loss of one ASM disk is tolerated.

* High redundancy

ASM provides triple mirroring by default. A loss of two ASM disks in different failure groups is
tolerated.

* At least two interfaces configured on each node, one for the private IP address and one for the
public IP address.
* A Domain Naming Server (DNS) running in the network for the address resolution of the GNS
virtual IP address and hostname.
* The DNS entry to configure the GNS sub-domain delegation
* A DHCP server running on the same public network as your Oracle RAC cluster.

Incorrect:
Within the subdomain, the GNS uses multicast Domain Name Service (mDNS) (not B), included
with Oracle Clusterware (not E), to enable the cluster to map host names and IP addresses
dynamically as nodes are added and removed from the cluster, without requiring additional host
configuration in the DNS.

C. Services are logical abstractions for managing workloads in Oracle Database.
D. Every service has N-2 cluster resources (where N is the number of RAC instances).

Answer: C
Explanation: A service is a logical grouping of sessions performing similar kind of work. They
enable you to group database workloads and route work to the optimal instances that are
assigned to offer the service.It is recommended that all the users who connect using a service
have the same service-level requirements. We can use services to manage workloads or a group
of applications. For example , all on-line users can use one service whereas batch users can use
another service and reporting can use yet another service.

Which two statements are true regarding the functionality of the remap command in ASMCMD?

A. It repairs blocks by always reading them from the mirror copy and writing them to the original
location.
B. It repairs blocks that have read disk I/O errors.
C. It checks whether the alias metadata directory and the- file directory are linked correctly.
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: B,D
Explanation: * remap

Purpose

Marks a range of blocks as unusable on the disk and relocates any data allocated in that range.

* remap Command

The remap command only relocates blocks. It does not correct or repair blocks that contain
corrupted contents. The command uses a physical block size based on the SECTOR_SIZE disk
group attribute.

Purpose

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).

Answer: A,D,F

"Pass Any Exam. Any Time." - www.actualtests.com 38

 Oracle 1z0-593 Exam
Explanation: A: As part of the Grid Infrastructure installation process, optionally we can also
provide Grid Naming Service (GNS) information, which includes the GNS Sub Domain Name and
the GNS VIP Address.

Using GNS assumes that a DHCP server is running on the public network with enough available
addresses to assign the required IP addresses and the SCAN VIP. Only one static IP address is
required to be configured and it should be in the DNS domain.

D:
* The node VIP and the three SCAN VIPs are obtained from the DHCP server when using GNS.
* RAC instances register to SCAN listeners as remote listeners. Oracle recommends assigning 3
addresses to SCAN, which will create 3 SCAN listeners, though the cluster has got dozens of
nodes.. SCAN is a domain name registered to at least one and up to three IP addresses, either in
DNS (Domain Name Service) or GNS (Grid Naming Service). The SCAN must resolve to at least
one address on the public network. For high availability and scalability, Oracle recommends
configuring the SCAN to resolve to three addresses.

SCAN components in a cluster:

SCAN Name
SCAN IPs (3)
SCAN Listeners (3)

F:
* One VIP address for each node.

* Node listeners on each node which connect clients to the chosen instance – these listeners are
not normally contacted by the clients at the initial connection request and not referenced by the
REMOTE_LISTENER parameter except for upgraded RAC databases from prior releases. Each
local listener also has a vip and these are examples of “LOCAL RESOURCES” in the OCR.
* The node VIP and the three SCAN VIPs are obtained from the DHCP server when using GNS.

QUESTION NO: 58

Which statement regarding the node VIPs is incorrect?

A. Should register the hostnames for the VIP with a DNS, if available

C. DNS name must be resolvable from any client

"Pass Any Exam. Any Time." - www.actualtests.com 39

 Oracle 1z0-593 Exam
D. VIP address should be in use at the time of installation

Answer: D
Explanation: During installation of the Oracle Grid Infrastructure for a cluster, a listener is created
for each of the SCAN addresses. Clients that access the Oracle RAC database should use the
SCAN or SCAN address, not the VIP name or address.

Incorrect:
Not A: The VIPs should be registered in the DNS.
Not C: Advantage of Virtual IP deployment in Oracle RAC:
Using VIP configuration, client can be able to get connection fast even fail over of connection
request to node. Because vip automatically assign to another surviving node faster and it can't
wait for TNS timeout old fashion.

B. All IP addresses for the public and the private network should be in the same subnet
C. All IP addresses should be registered in DNS.
D. The IP addresses for the SCAN-IPs (part of SCAN) need to be in the same subnet as the node
VIPs.

Answer: C,D
Explanation: C: * On each node in the cluster, assign a public IP address with an associated
network name to one network adapter. The public name for each node should be registered with
your domain name system (DNS).

D: During installation a SCAN for the cluster is configured, which is a domain name that resolves
to all the SCAN addresses allocated for the cluster. The IP addresses used for the SCAN
addresses must be on the same subnet as the VIP addresses.

ASMLIB is__________.

A. Used to enhance disk I/O performance

B. Used to prevent problems with persistant names and permissions after a Linux reboot.
C. A requirement that manages ASM disks
D. Used to provide mirroring for ASM disk groups

Answer: A
Explanation: ASMLib is an optional support library for the Automatic Storage Management
feature of the Oracle Database. Automatic Storage Management (ASM) simplifies database
administration and greatly reduces kernel resource usage (e.g. the number of open file
descriptors). It eliminates the need for the DBA to directly manage potentially thousands of Oracle
database files, requiring only the management of groups of disks allocated to the Oracle
Database. ASMLib allows an Oracle Database using ASM more efficient and capable access to
the disk groups it is using.

D. You cannot use external redundancy for OCR files.

Answer: A
Explanation:

Note:
*

* Oracle Cluster Registry (OCR)

QUESTION NO: 65

You are beginning the Installation of an Oracle Database, 11g Release 1. The OUI detects that
you are installing onto a cluster. Which two choices does it give you?

A. The ability to install a single node non cluster Installation on the local node
B. The ability to select the nodes to install the RAC enabled Oracle database software
C. the ability to install clusterware
D. The ability to install RAC on some nodes and a single instance Oracle database on others

Answer: A,B
Explanation: A: On the Select Database Management Option page, if you have already
completed the Grid Control Management Agent installation, then you can select either Grid or
Local Database control. Otherwise, only Local Database control for database management is
supported for Oracle RAC.

B: You can install Oracle RAC One Node on two or more nodes in the cluster. An Oracle RAC
One Node installation starts up an instance on one of the nodes you select as an Oracle RAC One
Node pool member. If that instance goes down, then the Oracle RAC One Node instance is
started up on another pool member using Online Database Relocation. This feature migrates
database instances and connections to other cluster nodes for high availability.

Note:
When you run OUI, you can select the Typical or the Advanced Install type.

The Typical install type installs a default configuration of Oracle Database, with basic configuration
choices. Oracle recommends that most users select Typical as their installation type.

The Advanced installation type is for customized installations, and should be used only when you
have a specific requirement for it, such as requiring different passwords for the SYS, SYSMAN,
SYSTEM and DBSNMP accounts, or using a different database character set than is in use on
your servers, changing product languages, or other nonstandard configuration

QUESTION NO: 66

Choose two options that are not suitable for shared storage in a RAC 11g Release 2 database
created using DBCA.

A. Block device
B. Raw device
C. ASM
D. CFS

Answer: A,B
Explanation: Before you use DBCA to convert a single-instance database to an Oracle RAC or an
Oracle RAC One Node database, ensure that your system meets the following conditions:

/ It is a supported hardware and operating system software configuration.

/ It has shared storage: either Oracle Cluster File System (CFS) (not D) or Oracle ASM (not C) is
available and accessible from all nodes. On Linux on POWER systems, ensure that GPFS is
available and accessible from all nodes.

/ Your applications have no design characteristics that preclude their use with cluster database
processing.

Note:
* DBCA (Database Configuration Assistant) is a utility used for creating, configuring and removing
Oracle Databases.

QUESTION NO: 68

Multipathing software_________.

A. cannot improve system availability

B. cannot improve system performance
C. is inherently built into all storage products
D. is supported by ASM

Answer: D
Explanation: Although ASM is not designed with multipathing functionality, ASM does operate
with multipathing technologies. Multipathing technologies are available from many sources.
Storage vendors offer multipathing products to support their specific storage products, while
software vendors usually develop multipathing products to support several server platforms and
storage.

Note:
* Multipathing solutions provide failover by using redundant physical path components. These
components include adapters, cables, and switches that reside between the server and the
storage subsystem. If one or more of these components fails, then applications can still access
their data, eliminating a single point of failure with the Storage Area Network (SAN), Host Bus
Adapter, interface cable, or host port on a multiported storage array.

 Oracle 1z0-593 Exam
D. You can mount an ACFS volume with the standard Linux/UNIX mount command (only if the
ACFS type is specified).
E. You cannot mount an ACFS volume with ASMCA.

Answer: A,B,D
Explanation: A: Log in to OEM, scroll to the bottom of the home page, then click on one of the
ASM instances listed. On the resulting ASM screen, click on the "ASM Cluster File System" tab.
You are then presented with the following screen. Click the "Create" button.
Click the "Create ASM Volume" button.
Enter the Volume Name and Size and click the "OK" button. Wait for the volume to be created.

B, D: Mount the file system with the Oracle ACFS mount command. You can mount a file system
before or after registering the file system. If the file system has been registered, you can wait for
the file system to be mounted automatically.

For example:

# /bin/mount -t acfs /dev/asm/volume1-123 /u01/app/acfsmounts/myacfs

See "mount" (Linux or UNIX) or "acfsmountvol" (Windows). The root privilege is required run the
mount command and the Windows Administrator privilege is required to run the acfsmountvol
command.

Note:
* Oracle ASM Cluster File System (ACFS) is a general purpose cluster file system implemented as
part of ASM.
* ASM Configuration Assistant (ASMCA),

Incorrect:
Not E: Probably the easiest interface to use is the ASM Configuration Assistant (ASMCA), but
Enterprise Manager does allow you to see all the commands being run to perform each task. The
easiest way to learn how to use the command line utilities is to use Enterprise Manager and click
the "Show Command" button each step of the way.

QUESTION NO: 73

When can a wildcard character be used to change a directory with the ASMCMD CD command?

A. Always
B. If the wildcard character causes a match to a single directory
C. If the wildcard character causes a match to multiple directories
D. Never

Answer: B
Explanation: * If a wildcard pattern matches only one directory when using wildcard characters
with cd, then cd changes the directory to that destination. If the wildcard pattern matches multiple
directories, then ASMCMD does not change the directory but instead returns an error.

* The wildcard characters * and % match zero or more characters anywhere within an absolute or
relative path, which saves typing of the full directory or file name. The two wildcard characters
behave identically. There are various ASMCMD commands that accept wildcards. These include
cd, du, find, ls, lsattr, lsdg, lsdsk, lsgrp, lsusr, and rm.

Note: ASMCMD is a command-line utility that you can use to manage Oracle ASM instances, disk
groups, file access control for disk groups, files and directories within disk groups, templates for
disk groups, and volumes.

You can run the ASMCMD utility in either interactive or noninteractive mode.

QUESTION NO: 78

Identify the incorrect statement regarding private interconnect in an Oracle Clusterware and RAC
environment.

A. With Oracle RAC 11.2.0.2 and later versions, Redundant Interconnect Usage can be used
instead of Network Interface Card (NIC) bonding.
B. NIC bonding for the Oracle RAC interconnect is not required.
C. If you use bonded NIC cards, they should be on the same subnet.
D. If you use NIC cards, they must be on different subnets.

Answer: C
Explanation: You can bond separate interfaces to a common interface to provide redundancy, in
case of a NIC failure, but Oracle recommends that you do not create separate interfaces for
Oracle Clusterware and Oracle RAC. If you use more than one NIC for the private interconnect,
then Oracle recommends that you use NIC bonding. Note that multiple private interfaces provide
load balancing but not failover, unless bonded.
