Oracle 1z0-070 Exam
QUESTION NO: 1

Batch and DSS workloads on your Exadata X6 Database Machine are causing performance
problems for OLTP workloads at certain times of the day.

There are five RAC databases performing OLTP I/O. Two of them also perform batch I/O. There is
another RAC database that performs only DSS I/O.

You are asked to resolve this problem so that the OLTP workload will not suffer when competing
with the batch or DSS workloads.

You decide to use the I/O resource manager.

Which is the best way to solve this problem?

A.
Create a category plan with EXADCLI calling EXACLI to give the OLTP category the highest
priority on all the cells, and use the Database Resource Manager to create the OLTP category and
map all OLTP- oriented consumer groups in all databases to it.

B.
Use the Database Resource Manager to give the OLTP category the highest priority and use
EXADCLI calling EXACLI to create the OLTP category on all the cells.

C.
Create a category plan with EXADCLI calling EXACLI to give the OLTP category the highest
priority on all the cells, and use the Database Resource Manager to give the OLTP consumer
group the highest priority on all databases.

D.
Create a database plan using EXADCLI calling EXACLI to give OLTP I/O the highest priority from
all six databases.

Answer: C
Explanation:
You can manage I/O resources based on categories by creating a category plan.

You can add any number of categories, or modify the predefined categories. You should map
consumer groups to the appropriate category for all databases that use the same cell storage. Any
consumer group without an explicitly specified category defaults to the OTHER category.

QUESTION NO: 2

Identify three valid reasons for creating multiple griddisks on a single harddisk-based celldisk.

A.
to implement storage realms so that storage that can be reserved for specific resource consumer
groups in the same database

B.
to enable the creation of normal or high redundancy ASM diskgroups

C.
to segregate storage into multiple pools with different performance characteristics

D.
to enable disk mirroring for the system area

E.
to implement storage realms so that storage can be reserved for specific databases

F.
to implement storage realms so that storage that can be reserved for specific Grid Infrastructure

Answer: B,C,F
Explanation:
Creating multiple grid disks per cell disk allows you to create multiple pools of storage on the same
Exadata Storage Server. The multiple grid disks can be assigned to separate ASM diskgroups,
which can be provisioned to different databases.

Note: Griddisk is a logical disk that can be created on a celldisk. In a standard Exadata
deployment we create griddisks on hard disk based celldisks only. While it is possible to create
griddisks on flashdisks, this is not a standard practice.

F: After you complete the cell configuration, you can perform the following optional steps on the
storage cell:

QUESTION NO: 3

Which three statements are true concerning the configuration of SNMP on an Exadata x5 or x6
Database Machine?

"Leading the way in IT Testing & Certification Tools" - www.test-king.com 3


Oracle 1z0-070 Exam
A.
All SNMP notifications from the storage server ILOMs are sent directly to the Automatic Service
Request (ASR) manager.

B.
Some SNMP notifications may be configured using the alter cell command on the storage servers.

C.
The Database Machine internal Cisco Switch communicates directly with the Enterprise Manager
agent via SNMP.

D.
Some SNMP notifications from a storage server ILOM are sent directly to the management server
(MS) process on the same storage servers.

E.
All SNMP notifications from a database server ILOM are sent directly to the Automatic Service
Request (ASR) manager.

F.
All SNMP notifications from a database server ILOM are sent directly to the management server
(MS) process on the same database server.

Answer: B,D,E
Explanation:
B: You can configure SNMP Trap Destinations for the Exadata Storage Servers with the following
command:

# cellcli -e “alter cell snmpSubscriber=(host ='ASR-Manager-name-or-IP-


address',port=162,community=public,type=asr)”

D: Exadata Storage Server plug-in

This extends the monitoring of exadata cells in addition to providing a GUI interface. The plug-in
uses an SSH connection to the cellmonitor user on the cells and uses list commands only. This is
for interactive monitoring. One may also set thresholds using the plug-in which are distinct from
any thresholds set using cellcli utility as the celladmin user. For alerts to be sent to the plug-in,
SNMP traps are used as follows:

Cell ILOM alerts are sent to the cell Management Server (MS) via an SNMP trap. The MS then
send SNMP notifications onward to the plug-in.

Cell alerts flagged by MS itself, such as cell thresholds being exceeded, or ADR software alerts,
are sent to the plug-in using SNMP.

E: Database Server ILOM plug-in

"Leading the way in IT Testing & Certification Tools" - www.test-king.com 4


Oracle 1z0-070 Exam
Monitoring databases and their instances, ASM environments, the Grid Infrastructure, and the host
software environment are done by Enterprise Manager in the usual way as these are standard
targets. But monitoring the hardware for the database servers requires the ILOM plug-in, as there
is no Management Server (MS) on the database servers to receive SNMP traps from the ILOM.
The plug-in will receive sensor state and availability data from the ILOM including alerts based on
pre-set ILOM thresholds.

QUESTION NO: 9

Which three storage components are available after nonvirtualized standard deployment of an X5
Database Machine using high-capacity disks?
"Leading the way in IT Testing & Certification Tools" - www.test-king.com 9
Oracle 1z0-070 Exam
A.
mirrored system area on hard disk 0, hard disk 1, and hard disk 2

B.
Exadata Smart Flash Cache using all of the flashdisk space

C.
the DBFS_DG diskgroup with high redundancy

D.
mirrored system area on hard disk 0 and hard disk 1

E.
the RECO_<DBM_Name> ASM diskgroup

F.
the DATA_<DBM_Name> ASM diskgroup

Answer: C,E,F
Explanation:
The first two disks of Exadata Storage Server are system disks. Oracle Exadata Storage Server
Software system software resides on a portion of each of the system disks. These portions on
both system disks are referred to as the system area.

The default configuration on Exadata is to have 3 diskgroups - DATA, RECO, and DBFS_DG.

QUESTION NO: 10

You plan to monitor the ASM configuration on an X5 Database Machine as part of your role
supporting Exadata-based ASM diskgroups.

You want to check for potential space problems that take ASM mirroring requirements into
account.

Which two values would you monitor from V$ASM_DISKGROUP or by using the ASMCMD LSDG
command?

A.
cold_used_mb

B.
total_mb

"Leading the way in IT Testing & Certification Tools" - www.test-king.com 10


Oracle 1z0-070 Exam
C.
required_mirror_free_mb

D.
free_mb

E.
usable_file_mb

Answer: B,D
Explanation:
Determine the Amount of Available Space

To increase the size of the disks in a disk group you must either have unallocated disk space
available, or you have to reallocate space currently used by a different disk group.

Example: View the space currently used by the disk groups.

SELECT name, total_mb, free_mb, total_mb - free_mb used_mb, round(100*free_mb/total_mb,2)


pct_free

FROM v$asm_diskgroup

ORDER BY 1;

The example above shows that the DATAC1 disk group has only about 15% of free space
available while the RECOC1 disk group has about 87% free disk space. The PCT_FREE
displayed here is raw free space, not usable free space. Additional space is needed for
rebalancing operations.

QUESTION NO: 12

An Exadata storage server physical disk on an X5 high-capacity full rack entered the predictive
failure state.

Identify the two steps that you must perform to replace this failed physical disk.

A.
Add the griddisks back into the ASM diskground they used to be a member of.

B.
Create a new celldisk and new griddisks on the replaced physical disk.

C.
Verify that the griddisks located on the physical disk have been successfully dropped from the

"Leading the way in IT Testing & Certification Tools" - www.test-king.com 12


Oracle 1z0-070 Exam
associated ASM diskgroups.

D.
Identify the griddisks located on the failed physical disk and drop them from the associated ASM
diskgroups.

E.
Replace the failed physical disk.

Answer: C,E
Explanation:
You may need to replace a physical disk because the disk is in warning - predictive failure status.
The predictive failure status indicates that the physical disk will soon fail, and should be replaced
at the earliest opportunity. The Oracle ASM disks associated with the grid disks on the physical
drive are automatically dropped, and an Oracle ASM rebalance relocates the data from the
predictively failed disk to other disks.

Note: After the physical disk is replaced, the grid disks and cell disks that existed on the previous
disk in that slot are re-created on the new physical disk. If those grid disks were part of an Oracle
ASM group, then they are added back to the disk group, and the data is rebalanced on them,
based on the disk group redundancy and ASM_POWER_LIMIT parameter.

QUESTION NO: 13

Which two completely prevent a Smart Scan from occurring?

A.
querying a table containing many chained rows

B.
querying a table containing many migrated rows

C.
performing a minimum or maximum function on an indexed column

D.
performing a Fast Full Index scan on a reverse key index

E.
referencing more than 255 columns form an OLTP compressed table in a query

"Leading the way in IT Testing & Certification Tools" - www.test-king.com 13


Oracle 1z0-070 Exam
F.
querying a table containing a JSON column

Answer: B,E
Explanation:
B: Migrated Rows is a special case of chained rows. Migrated rows still affect performance, as
they do in conventional storage situations, but with the additional overhead of reducing the
beneficial effects of “Smart Scan” in addition to increasing the number of I/Os

E: Smart Scans - broadly speaking and ignoring edge cases - can only transport a maximum of
254 columns from a single (non-HCC) segment. Requesting more columns will simply disable
Smart Scans for that segment.

An interesting limitation to Exadata Smart Scans - if more than 254 columns from a table (not HCC
compressed, more on that in moment) need to be projected, Smart Scans for that particular
segment will be disabled and Exadata will fall back to conventional I/O. This means that the
number of columns in the projection clause can make a significant difference to performance,
since only Smart Scans allow taking advantage of offloading and particularly avoiding I/O via
Storage Indexes.

QUESTION NO: 14

Which statement is true about operating systems in an X5 Database Machine multirack


configuration consisting of two full racks and one Exadata storage expansion rack?

A.
All Exadata storage servers used by the same virtual cluster nodes must run the same O/S but
Exadata Storage Servers in different clusters may run different operating systems.

B.
All Exadata storage servers must run the Oracle Solaris O/S and all database servers within the
same cluster must run Oracle Linux.

C.
All Exadata storage servers may run Oracle Virtual Machine (OVM).

D.
All Exadata storage servers must run Oracle Linux.

E.
All Exadata storage servers must run the Oracle Linux O/S and all database servers within the
same cluster must run the same version of Oracle Virtual Machine (OVM).

QUESTION NO: 15

Which two are true about Smart Scan?

A.
A query rewrite may occur to a materialized view stored in Exadata, and it will always benefit from
Smart Scan.

B.
Column projection does not contribute to the performance benefit of Smart Scan.

C.
A query rewrite may occur to a materialized view stored in Exadata but will never benefit from
Smart Scan.

D.
It is possible to offload single row functions to the Exadata Storage Servers.

E.
Join processing can be partly offloaded to Exadata Storage Servers.

F.
Join processing can be fully offloaded to Exadata Storage Servers.

Answer: D,E
Explanation:
D: With Exadata storage, database operations are handled much more efficiently. Queries that
perform table scans can be processed within Exadata storage with only the required subset of
data returned to the database server. Row filtering, column filtering and some join processing
(among other functions) are performed within the Exadata storage cells. When this takes place
only the relevant and required data is returned to the database server.

E: With Smart Scan processing, row filtering, column filtering, some join processing, and other
functions are performed in the Exadata cells.

format during Exadata Smart Flash Cache population.

C.
Data is either cached in Hybrid Columnar Compressed format or in pure compressed format, but
never in both formats at the same time.

D.
It is enabled by default.

E.
It automatically transforms Hybrid Columnar Compressed (HCC) data into a pure columnar format
during Exadata Smart Flash Cache population.

F.
It improves single-row lookup performance.

Answer: D,E
Explanation:
D: In-Memory Columnar Caching on cells is enabled by default when the INMEMORY_SIZE is
configured. You do not need to do anything to get this enhancement.

E: Columnar Flash Caching implements a dual format architecture in Exadata flash by


automatically transforming frequently scanned Hybrid Columnar Compressed data into a pure
columnar format as it is loaded into the flash cache.

Oracle 1z0-070 Exam
You run this query:

Identify two reasons why the “cell physical IO interconnect bytes” statistic is greater than the “cell
physical IO interconnect bytes returned by smart scan” statistic.

A.
There is a transaction, which committed after the query began, that has modified some of the table
blocks, causing some “cell single block physical reads” to be requested by the database instance,
resulting in additional I/O.

B.
There are chained rows in the table, causing some “single block physical reads” to be requested
by the database instance, resulting in additional I/O.

C.
The table is a hash clustered table, causing “cell multiblock physical reads” to be requested by the
database instance, resulting in additional I/O.

D.
The table is list partitioned, causing “cell list of blocks physical reads” to be requested by the
database instance, resulting in additional I/O.

E.
There is a local index on a list partitioned table on the column used in the WHERE clause, causing
“cell list of blocks physical reads” to be requested by the database instance, resulting in additional
I/O.

Answer: C,D
Explanation:
C: Scan on a clustered table can prevent a Smart Scan from occur.

D: Scan on an index-organized table can prevent a Smart Scan from occur.

Which three are true about Exadata Smart Flash Log?

A.
Databases on the Database Machine use Exadata Smart Flash Log by default.

B.
I/O Resource Manager database plans can be used to enable or disable Exadata Smart Flash Log
for individual databases.

C.
LGWR will not wait for writes to Exadata Smart Flash Log if the write to a disk-based logfile
completes first.

D.
I/O Resource Manager category plans can be used to enable or disable Exadata Smart Flash Log
for different I/O categories.

E.
The use of Exadata Smart Flash Logs is mandatory for support of production databases.

Answer: A,B,C
Explanation:
A: Exadata I/O Resource Manager (IORM) has been enhanced to enable or disable Smart Flash
Logging for the different databases running on the Database Machine, reserving flash for the most
performance critical databases.

B: The Exadata I/O Resource Manager (IORM) has been enhanced to enable or disable Smart
Flash Logging for the different databases running on the Database Machine.

C: Smart Flash Logging works as follows. When receiving a redo log write request, Exadata will do
parallel writes to the on-disk redo logs as well as a small amount of space reserved in the flash
hardware. When either of these writes has successfully completed the database will be
immediately notified of completion. If the disk drives hosting the logs experience slow response
times, then the Exadata Smart Flash Cache will provide a faster log write response time.
"Leading the way in IT Testing & Certification Tools" - www.test-king.com 19
Oracle 1z0-070 Exam
Conversely, if the Exadata Smart Flash Cache is temporarily experiencing slow response times
(e.g., due to wear leveling algorithms), then the disk drive will provide a faster response time.

This algorithm will significantly smooth out redo write response times and provide overall better
database performance.

The virtual size of a sparse griddisk may exceed the physical size of the space occupied by the
griddisk.

Answer: A,E
Explanation:
A: A sparse ASM disk group is composed of sparse grid disks.

E: Sparse grid disks allocate space as new data is written to the disk, and therefore have a virtual
size that can be much larger than the actual physical size. Sparse grid disks can be used to create
a sparse disk group to store database files that will use a small portion of their allocated space.
Sparse disk groups are especially useful for quickly and efficiently creating database snapshots on
Oracle Exadata. Traditional databases can also be created using a sparse disk group.

E.
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) traps are used to send notifications from the
Enterprise Manager to the ASR Manager.

F.
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) traps received by ASR Manager are forwarded to
the Enterprise Manager.

Answer: B,C,F
Explanation:
B: Oracle ASR Manager only processes SNMP traps that are sent from IP addresses that Oracle
ASR Manager recognizes.

Example of Exadata Storage Server SNMP Trap

This example shows the SNMP trap for an Exadata Storage Server disk failure. The
corresponding hardware alert code has been highlighted.

2011-09-07 10:59:54 server1.example.com [UDP: [192.85.884.156]:61945]:

RFC1213-MIB::sysUpTime.0 = Timeticks: (52455631) 6 days, 1:42:36.31

SNMPv2-SMI::snmpModules.1.1.4.1.0 = OID: SUN-HW-TRAP-MIB::sunHwTrapHardDriveFault

SUN-HW-TRAP-MIB::sunHwTrapSystemIdentifier = STRING: Sun Oracle Database Machine

Etc.

C (not D): The ASR Manager uses the SNMP GET protocol to query ASR assets for additional
fault information.

To configure fault telemetry, choose one of the following three options:

Add SNMP Trap Destinations Using OneCommand (recommended for new installations)

Add SNMP Trap Destinations for Multiple Servers Using the dcli Utility

Add SNMP Trap Destinations for a Single Server

QUESTION NO: 24

Which two statements are true about RMAN incremental level-1 backups for a database running
on an X5 Database Machine?

A.
Block Change tracking (BCT) is not needed for databases in an X5 Database Machine, because
ASM automatically does block change tracking when diskgroups are built from griddisks.

B.
cellsrv filters blocks and returns only those that have changed since the last backup, for databases
in archivelog mode.

C.
cellsrv returns all blocks that have been or might have been changed since the last backup, and
RMAN filters the blocks that do not require backup.

D.
cellsrv filters blocks and returns only those that have changed since the last backup, for databases
in noarchivelog mode.

E.
Block Change Tracking (BCT) is not needed for databases in an X5 Database Machine, because
change tracking is done by cellsrv.

Answer: D,E
Explanation:
D: Whenever data blocks change, the Change Tracking Writer (CTWR) background process
tracks the changed blocks in a private area of memory.

When RMAN performs an incremental backup on the Exadata platform, cellsrv filters out
unwanted blocks and sends back only those that have changed since the last level 0 or level 1
backup.

E: For the Exadata platform, you may choose to allow cellserv to do all the blocking filtering for
incremental backups.

Note: RMAN block change tracking is used to improve the performance of incremental backup.
The level 0 incremental backup scans the entire database but level 1 incremental backups use the
block change tracking file to scan only the blocks that have changed since the last backup. This
significantly reduces the amount of reads that are required on the database.

Which three statements are true about Exadata storage server alerts in an X5 Database Machine?

A.
Storage server alerts notifications may be sent using SNMP.

B.
A threshold- based alert gets cleared automatically when the measured value no longer violates
the threshold.

C.
A storage server alert is only ever issued as a warning or at a critical situation.

D.
Storage server alerts are all stateless alerts.

E.
Storage server alerts are all stateful alerts.

F.
Storage server alerts notifications may be sent using SMTP.

Answer: A,C,F
Explanation:
Exadata cell (storage server) alerts can be delivered using SMTP or SNMP or both.

Although there are three types of storage alerts: informational, warning and critical, they are
issued when threshold metrics reached either to warning or critical.

QUESTION NO: 26

Which two statements are true about the X5 Exadata storage server rescue procedure?

A.
The rescue procedure can be executed from the CELLBOOT USB flash drive.

B.
An Exadata storage server automatically enters the rescue environment when it cannot boot from
the system area.

C.

"Leading the way in IT Testing & Certification Tools" - www.test-king.com 25


Oracle 1z0-070 Exam
The rescue procedure can be used to repair corruption in an ASM diskgroup.

D.
The rescue procedure can be used to restore a corrupt system area.

E.
The rescue procedure must be used to recover from a failed Exadata storage server software
upgrade.

Answer: A,D
Explanation:
The rescue procedure is necessary when system disks fail, the operating system has a corrupt file
system, or there was damage to the boot area. If only one system disk fails, then use CellCLI
commands to recover. In the rare event that both system disks fail simultaneously, you must use
the Exadata Storage Server rescue functionality provided on the Oracle Exadata Storage Server
Software CELLBOOT USB flash drive.

QUESTION NO: 27

Which two statements are true about backup performance when using Recovery Manager
(RMAN) on an X5 Database Machine?

A.
Backups are fast because the Infiniband network is faster than fiber channel storage, so RMAN
read I/O operations are faster than in traditional storage networks.

B.
Backups are fast, because physical I/Os operations are reduced by the use of the Storage Index
by cellsrv.

C.
Backups are fast, because data blocks are read from the Database Flash Cache.

D.
Backups are fast, because all data blocks are read from the Exadata Smart Flash Cache.

E.
For incremental backups using Block Change Tracking, cellsrv filters blocks and returns only those
that have changed since the last backup.

"Leading the way in IT Testing & Certification Tools" - www.test-king.com 26


Oracle 1z0-070 Exam
Answer: D,E
Explanation:
D: The storage server software manages the flash cache and can recognize different types of I/O
requests so that non-repeatable data access like RMAN backup I/O does not flush database
blocks from the cache. It also prioritizes frequently accessed block types such as redo logs,
control files, and index root blocks.

E: RMAN block change tracking allows incremental backups to run very quickly and efficiently.
With block change tracking, only the areas of the database that have been modified since the last
incremental backup or full backup are read from disk.

QUESTION NO: 28

In which scenario will griddisks residing on the same celldisk have balanced performance
characteristics in an X5 High Capacity Exadata Storage Server?

A.
griddisks on memory based celldisks

B.
griddisks on hard disk-based celldisk consumed by ASM when creating diskgroups using ASM-
based Intelligent Data Placement (IDP)

C.
griddisks on hard disk-based celldisks consumed by the Database Smart Flash Cache

D.
griddisks on Flash-based celldisks

Answer: B
Explanation:
Intelligent Data Placement enables you to specify disk regions on Oracle ASM disks for best
performance. Using the disk region settings, you can ensure that frequently accessed data is
placed on the outermost (hot) tracks which have greater speed and higher bandwidth. In addition,
files withsimilar access patterns are located physically close, reducing latency. Intelligent Data
Placement also enables the placement of primary and mirror extents into different hot or cold
regions.

Explanation:
A: Oracle recommends that you install Oracle ASR Manager on an external, standalone server.

C: Oracle ASR is designed to generate Oracle service requests automatically when certain types
of faults are detected on Oracle products that are qualified for Oracle ASR.

Oracle ASR works only for specific component faults. Most of the common components, such as
disks, fans, and power supplies, are covered. However, some components are not covered. For
example, Oracle ASR does not cover InfiniBand events; there are specific images and specific
InfiniBand switch firmware that you must use. You cannot upgrade these components

Which two statements are true about data paths used during RMAN backup and restore
operations when media management servers use InfiniBand to connect to an X5 Database
Machine?

A.
During backups, data blocks are always read from Smart Flash Cache by cellsrv.

B.
During restores, data blocks read from the media are sent to a database server that sends the
blocks to cellsrv to be written.

C.
During backups, data blocks are read by cellsrv and sent to a database server, which sends the
blocks to the media manager to be written to media.

D.
During backups, data blocks are read by cellsrv and sent directly to the media manager to be
written to media.

E.
During restores, data blocks read from the media are sent directly to cellsrv to be written.

Answer: D,E
Explanation:
The fastest database backup is achieved via InfiniBand.

RMAN does not back up directly to tape. However, it will integrate with media management
software such as Oracle Secure Backup and utilize their capabilities to manage tape libraries.

"Leading the way in IT Testing & Certification Tools" - www.test-king.com 34


Oracle 1z0-070 Exam
Exadata Database Machine: The Database Machine contains the databases that need to be
backed up. Oracle RMAN is the only mechanism to back up the databases that utilize Exadata
Storage Servers as the storage. RMAN processes run on the database servers and interact with
the Oracle Secure Backup (OSB) agent, which further interacts with the media management
software and enables RMAN to communicate with the tape library.

Which two statements are true about the use of Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI)
on an X5 or X6 Database Machine?

A.
IPMI can be used for server configuration and management on each database server.

B.
The Baseboard Management Controller (BMC), which supports IPMI, runs as a multithreaded
process on the storage server O/S.

C.
The Baseboard Management Controller (BMC), which supports IPMI, runs as a single-threaded
process on the storage server O/S.

D.
IPMI can be used for server configuration and management on each storage server.

Answer: A,C
Explanation:
A: IPMI – short for Intelligent Platform Management Interface – is an interface standard that allows
remote management of a server from another using standardized interface. The servers in the
Exadata Database Machine follow that. It’s not an Exadata command but rather a general Linux
one.

To power on a cell or database server, issue this from another server:

# ipmitool -H prolcel01-ilom -U root chassis power on

To stop a server, use the shutdown command. To stop immediately and keep it down, i.e. not
reboot, execute:# shutdown -h -y now

C: Like the KCS interface, the SSIF Interface is only specified as a ‘Single Threaded Interface’ for
standard IPMI commands. That is, the BMC implementation is not expected to process more than

"Leading the way in IT Testing & Certification Tools" - www.test-king.com 35


Oracle 1z0-070 Exam
one IPMI request at a time. While an implementation is allowed to have a degree of ‘command
queuing’, for standard IPMI messages the SSIF lacks a ‘Seq’ field that software can use to match
up particular instances of requests with responses.

They are integrated with the Multitenant architecture.

D.
They can be created only on sparse ASM disk groups.

E.
They don’t support all Exadata features.

F.
They can be created on any type of ASM disk group.

Answer: A,C,D
Explanation:
A: An Exadata snapshot database can be either a non-container database (non-CDB) or a

all of the pluggable databases in that container.

C: You can create two types of Exadata snapshots, depending on the current setup of your
environment:

D: SPARSE disk group based database snapshots is functionality included in Exadata Storage
Software. It requires Exadata Storage Software version 12.1.2.1.0 and Oracle Database 12c
version 12.1.0.2 with bundle patch 5 or later. This feature is designed to work on native Exadata
ASM storage disk groups. It uses ASM SPARSE grid disk based thin provisioning where snapshot
databases created on a SPARSE disk group need only the space for changes plus some

The ASM diskgroup containing the table’s tablespace has a 4 MByte AU size.

B.
Executing queries in parallel.

C.

D.
Having direct path reads used at execution time.

E.
An update to the table is made identifying the row to be modified by primary key.

F.
An index range scan occurs for the table.

Answer: B,C,D
Explanation:
Whether you get a direct path read & smart scan, depends on the current buffer cache size, how
big segment you’re about to scan and how much of that segment is actually cached at the
moment. This dynamic decision unfortunately can cause unexpected surprises and variance in
your report/batch job runtimes.

To work around these problems and force a direct path read/smart scan, you can either:

"Leading the way in IT Testing & Certification Tools" - www.test-king.com 37

D: One of the most common Exadata performance problems is that the direct path reads (and thus
also Smart Scans) don’t sometimes kick in when running full scans in serial sessions.

You must replace the battery on the disk controller in three Exadata storage servers and must
power off the affected storage servers.

Which two commands must you execute to safely power off the storage servers in an X5
Database Machine?

A.
‘shutdown -h now’on the affected storage servers

B.
CellCLI> LIST GRIDDISK WHERE STATUS != ‘inactive’

"Leading the way in IT Testing & Certification Tools" - www.test-king.com 40


Oracle 1z0-070 Exam
C.
CellCLI > LIST GRIDDISK ATTRIBUTES name WHERE asmdeactivationoutcome != ‘Yes’

D.
‘crsctl stop cluster –all’on one of the database servers

E.
CellCLI> ALTER GRIDDISK ALL INACTIVE

Answer: C,E
Explanation:
C: Step 1:

Run the following command to check if there are other offline disks

CellCLI> LIST GRIDDISK ATTRIBUTES name WHERE asmdeactivationoutcome != 'Yes'

If any grid disks are returned, then it is not safe to take the storage server offline because proper
Oracle ASM disk group redundancy will not be intact.

E: Step 2:

Inactivate all the grid disks when Oracle Exadata Storage Server is safe to take offline using the
following command:

CellCLI> ALTER GRIDDISK ALL INACTIVE

Taking the storage server offline when one or more grid disks are in this state will cause Oracle
ASM to dismount the affected disk group, causing the databases to shut down abruptly.

C.
Corruption in a normal or high redundancy ASM diskgroup

D.
The failure of both physical disks 0 and 1

E.
Only the failure of physical disk 1

QUESTION NO: 48

You issued these commands to all Exadata Storage Servers in an X6 Exadata Database Machine
using dcli:

alter iormplan objective = off

alter iormplan active

There are no database or category plans defined.

You are suffering I/O performance problems at certain times, which vary by day and week.

DSS and batch workloads perform well, but your OLTP workloads suffer poor response times
when running at the same time as these other workloads.

You must ensure that DSS and batch workloads retain relatively high throughput without causing
excessive degradation of OLTP performance.

Which statement would you issue to all Exadata Storage Servers to achieve this?

A.
alter iormplan objective = low_latency

B.
alter iormplan objective = high_throughput

C.
alter iormplan objective = balanced

D.
alter iormplan objective = auto

Answer: A
Explanation:
When the objective option is set to basic, the database resource plan maximum utilization limits
are not enforced. For stricter plan conformance, and enforcement of maximum utilization limits, the
objective option must be set to something other than basic. The supported IORM objectives are
auto, low_latency, balanced, and high_throughput.

The objective may also be changed to low_latency in which case the latency for critical I/Os is very
good but there is a significant degradation in scan throughput when both workloads are running
concurrently.

Which three are true concerning Hybrid Columnar Compression (HCC) deployed on Exadata
storage?

A.
HCC can be used only when the Exadata Smart Flash Cache is configured in Write-Through
mode.

B.
HCC data is never cached in the Exadata Smart Flash Cache.

C.
By default, decompression is performed by Exadata Storage Servers.

D.
Rows residing in HCC compressed segments, are always self- contained in a single database
block.

E.
Rows residing in HCC compressed segments, are always self- contained in a single compression
unit.

F.
Row-level locks are supported on HCC compressed data.

Answer: C,E,F
Explanation:
C: The decompression process typically takes place on the Oracle Exadata Storage Server in
order to maximize performance and offload processing from the database server.

E: A logical construct called the compression unit is used to store a set of hybrid columnar
compressed rows. When data is loaded, column values for a set of rows are grouped together and
compressed. After the column data for a set of rows has been compressed, it is stored in a
compression unit.

F: What happens when I update a row on compressed tables? What about locks?

Note: Oracle’s Hybrid Columnar Compression technology is a new method for organizing data
within a database block. As the name implies, this technology utilizes a combination of both row
and columnar methods for storing data. This hybrid approach achieves the compression benefits
of columnar storage, while avoiding the performance shortfalls of a pure columnar format.

Which three statements are true about Recovery Manager (RMAN) daily differential incremental
backup strategies on an X5 Database Machine for a database having 25% or more of its blocks
modified each day and which has an 8 k block size?

A.
Fast incremental backups when 50% or more of the blocks have changed since the last backup,
will run as slowly as normal incremental backup.

B.
Enabling Block Change Tracking (BCT) on the database can result in reduced consumption of
storage network bandwidth.

C.
Enabling Block Change Tracking (BCT) on the database can result in a reduction of physical I/O
on the cells during incremental backups.

D.
For level-1 backups, Block Change Tracking (BCT) is most beneficial when more than 25 percent
of the blocks have changed since the last backup.

E.
For level-0 backups, Block Change Tracking (BCT) is most beneficial when more than 25 percent
of the blocks have changed since the last backup.

F.
cellsrv returns only blocks that have changed since the last backup.

Answer: A,C,F
Explanation:
A: Fast Incremental backups is possible with Block change tracking, which is initially introduced
from version 10.2 onwards, by this tool it's very useful to reduce the RMAN incremental backup
duration.

If the changes are something around 20% then in this situation BCT helps a lot.

C: Exadata Storage Server offload capability combined with RMAN block change tracking will
efficiently perform large I/Os at the storage-tier level, returning only individual changed blocks for
incremental backups and increasing the backup performance of the system.

Note: Level 1 backup: A level 1 backup includes only those blocks that have been changed since
the "parent" backup was taken. Remember a parent backup may be either a level 0 or a level 1
backup.

Block change tracking allows indeed the highest benefit for databases where the changes are not

so high,

Level 0 backup: A level 0 incremental backup is physically identical to a full backup and it includes
every data block in the file except empty blocks. The only difference is that the level 0 backup is
recorded as an incremental backup in the RMAN repository, so it can be used as the parent for a
level 1 backup.

QUESTION NO: 74

You have altered an index supporting a constraint to be invisible on a large data warehouse table
in an X5 Database Machine.

Which two statements are true?

A.
You might retain the index, and leave it as invisible, and the constraint will still be recognized and
enforced.

B.
You must retain the index and make it visible again for the constraint to be recognized and
enforced.

C.
You must retain the index and set the constraint to DISABLE NOVALIDATE RELY for the
constraint to be recognized.

D.
You might drop the index and use a constraint with the DISABLE NOVALIDATE RELY flags for
the constraint to be recognized.

E.
You might drop the index and make the constraint invisible, for the constraint to be recognized and
enforced.

Answer: B,C

"Leading the way in IT Testing & Certification Tools" - www.test-king.com 69


Oracle 1z0-070 Exam
Explanation:
B: With making indexes invisible, we can easily check whether indexes are useful without having
to drop (and in case recreate) them actually. While this may be of interest for “ordinary” Oracle
Databases already, it is particular a useful feature for Exadata where we expect some
conventional indexes to become obsolete after a migration.

C: DISABLE NOVALIDATE RELY means: "I don't want an index and constraint checking to slow
down my batch data loading into datawarehouse, but the optimizer can RELY on my data loading
routine and assume this constraint is enforced by other mechanism". This information can greatly
help optimizer to use correct materialized view when rewriting queries. So if you don't use
materialized views for query rewrite then you can put RELY for all your constraints (or NORELY
for all your constraints) and forget about it.
