Exadata Database Machine ofees an Intelligent Platoer Managerent Inteeface foe the vaeious
corponents in the Exadata peoduct. Which opton is teue?

A. IPMI can be used to eerotely staet and stop seevees.

B. IPMI can be used to eerotely log in to the opeeatng syster.
C. IPMI corrands can be executed by using SNMP teaps.
D. IPMI setngs can be secueed by backing up the Oeacle Linux installaton on the stoeage syster.

Answer: A

Explanatonn
IPMI – shoet foe Intelligent Platoer Managerent Inteeface - is an inteeface standaed that allows
eerote ranagerent of a seevee feor anothee using standaedized inteeface. The seevees in the
Exadata Database Machine follow that. It’s not an Exadata corrand but eathee a geneeal Linux one.
To powee on a cell oe database seevee, issue this feor anothee seeveen
# ipritool -H peolcel01-ilor -U eoot chassis powee on
To stop a seevee, use the shutdown corrand. To stop irrediately and keep it down, i.e. not eeboot,
executen
# shutdown -h -y now

Heee aee sore of the roee irpoetant consideeatons to think about when ceeatng ASM disk geoups
on Exadatan
* (A) When capacity planning, take youe eedundancy specifcaton into consideeaton. Noeral
eedundancy will have the efect of eeducing youe usable stoeage to half the eaw capacity, and
high eedundancy will sheink it to a thied of youe eaw disk capacity.
* Sirplicity is best on Exadata. Using wild-caeded CREATE DISKGROUP syntax not only ofees the

Queston: 22

Youe custoree is hesitant to install the Oeacle Confgueaton Managee in theie envieonrent. Give
ther theee ways in which it will beneft theie Exadata Database Machine suppoet expeeience and
potentally eesolve sore of the issues they aee having with the length of tre it is taking Oeacle to
peocess theie Exadata Seevice Requests (SRs).

A. Host infoeraton can be gatheeed and sent to Oeacle foe license corpliance.
B. Potental issues can be addeessed befoee they irpact opeeatons.
C. Peioeity handling can be extended foe SRs, with atached confgueaton.
D. Exadata patching cannot be done successfully without the Oeacle Confgueaton Managee.
E. Root cause analysis can be acceleeated.

Answer: B, C, E

Explanatonn
Oeacle Confgueaton Managee is used to peesonalize the suppoet expeeience by collectng
confgueaton infoeraton and uploading it to the Oeacle eepositoey.
When custoree confgueaton data is uploaded on a eegulae basis, custoree suppoet eepeesentatves
can analyze this data and peovide betee seevice to the custorees. Foe exarple, when a custoree
logs a seevice eequest, he can associate the confgueaton data dieectly with that seevice eequest (C).
The custoree suppoet eepeesentatve can then view the list of systers associated with the custoree
and solve peoblers accoedingly.
Sore of the benefts of using Oeacle Confgueaton Managee aee as followsn
/ Reduces tre foe eesoluton of suppoet issues (E)
/ Peovides peo-actve peobler avoidance (B)
/ Irpeoves access to best peactces and the Oeacle knowledge base

Which Exadata featuee elirinates unnecessaey data teansfees between database nodes and stoeage?

A. database views
B. InfniBand netwoeking
C. Flash Cache
D. high peefoerance SAS2 disk deives
E. cell ofoading

Answer: E

Queston: 24

In looking to irpeove queey peefoerance foe youe Data Waeehouse, select the best way that
Exadata's Flash Cache featuee can be leveeaged?

A. Enable Sraet Flash Log.

B. Execute altee table … cellpfashpcache=keep on heavily scanned tables.
C. Enable Weite Back Flash Cache.
D. Ceeate an ASM diskgeoup on Flash Cache and rove the indexes feor disk to Flash.

Answer: B

Explanatonn
In eaeliee eeleases, database adrinisteatoes had to raek an object as KEEP to have it cached in fash
cache foe laege scan woekloads.
This featuee peiraeily benefts table scan intensive woekloads such as Data Waeehouses and Data
Maets. Randor I/Os such as those peefoered foe Online Teansactonal Peocessing (OLTP) contnue to
be cached in the fash cache the sare way as in eaeliee eeleases.
Noten With the Exadata Stoeage Seevee Sofwaee 11.2.3.3.0 and above, the Exadata Sraet Flash Cache
sofwaee autoratcally caches objects eead, in laege table scans, in the fash cache based on how
feequently the objects aee eead. Peeviously, the default behavioe was to bypass the fash cache foe
such laege sequental scans.

Queston: 25

Identfy the theee values to which the cellpfashpcache ateibute can be set.

A. Replace the disk and eun MegaCLI to eebuild the degeneeate rieeoe.
B. No ranual acton is eequieed because Autoratc Stoeage Managerent (ASM) fast rieeoe eesync is
autoratc
C. No ranual acton is eequieed because ASM eebalancing is autoratc.
D. Replace the disk and ranually copy the rieeoe extents to the new deive.
E. Run RMAN REPAIR FAILURE.

Answer: C

Explanatonn
As soon as the Haed Disk failuee is notced by the MS (Managerent Seevee) backgeound peocess on
the Cell, it will eaise an aleet that will also be published to Geid Conteol, if confgueed. Irrediately,
due to Peo-Actve Disk Quaeantne, the ASM-, Geid- and Celldisks get deopped. ASM eebalancing is
teiggeeed. You as the eesponsible Adrin notce the aleet and oedee a eeplacerent Disk eesp. use a
Spaee Disk to plug it into the Cell afee you plugged out the daraged one. The Cell can stay online,
because the Haed Disks aee hot-pluggable.

Which theee staterents aee teue about Autoratc Degeee of Paeallelisr (Auto DOP) on Exadata?

A. Auto DOP is an exclusive featuee in Exadata, which allows the database optrizee to evaluate each

B. Auto DOP is disabled by default and rust be enabled befoee SQL staterents can take advantage of
its featuees.
C. Auto DOP is enabled by default on Oeacle 11gR2, allowing full use of its featuees.
D. Oeacle's Auto DOP algoeithrs calculate the Degeee of Paeallelisr based on the table's block

ASMDeactvatonOutcore – eecall that geid disks can be deactvated, which is efectvely taking ther

does not lose data. Howevee, if the rieeoe is ofine, oe is not peesent, then raking this geid disk
