Oracle Exadata X5 Administration
Exam A
QUESTION 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.
Correct Answer: C
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation/Reference:
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 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
Correct Answer: BCF

Section: (none)
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:
Add the storage cell to the Exadata Cell realm
Configure security on the Oracle Exadata Storage Server grid disks
References: https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E80920_01/SAGUG/SAGUG.pdf
QUESTION 3
Which three statements are true concerning the configuration of SNMP on an Exadata x5 or x6 Database Machine?
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.
Correct Answer: BDE

Section: (none)
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
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 4
You have partitioned an X5-2 full rack into two four-node RAC clusters called CLUSA and CLUSB.
No virtualization is used and the storage grid has not been partitioned.
Which two set of files on which servers must be modified after connecting an Exadata storage expansion rack to your X5-2 Exadata Database Machine on the
InfiniBand network so that the storage servers in the expansion rack are added to the storage grid?
A. the CELLINIT.ORA files on the database servers in CLUSA

B. the CELLIP.ORA files on the database servers in CLUSA
C. the CELLINIT.ORA files on the database servers in CLUSB
D. the CELLIP.ORA files on all existing Exadata storage servers
E. the CELLIP.ORA files on the database servers in CLUSB
F. the CELLIP.ORA files on all newly added Exadata storage servers
Correct Answer: BE
Section: (none)
Explanation
The cellip.ora is the configuration file, on every compute node (database server), that tells ASM instances which cells are available to this cluster.
The cellip.ora file contains the storage cell IP addresses.
References: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E80920_01/SAGUG/exadata-storage-server-configuring.htm#SAGUG20369
QUESTION 5
You plan to monitor the status of the motherboard, memory, power, fans, and network cards on the database nodes in your Exadata X6 Database Machine using
Enterprise Manager.
Where must you set the thresholds for these hardware components and why, to assure that sensor readings, faults, and any related alerts, are visible in Enterprise
Manager?
A. No thresholds need to be set because they are present in the ILOM and in Enterprise Manager.
B. Set thresholds in ILOM and in Enterprise Manager because they are not present anywhere and must be set in both places.
C. Set thresholds only in ILOM because they are not preset anywhere but need to be set only in ILOM.
D. No thresholds need to be set because they are preset in the ILOM and these are sufficient for monitoring.
Correct Answer: D
Section: (none)
Explanation

E. 2, 3, 4 and 8 run on the database servers; 1, 5, 6 and 7 run on the Exadata storage servers.
Correct Answer: B
Section: (none)
Explanation
Automatic Diagnostic Repository Command Interpreter (ADRCI) can be used on an Exadata storage server.
Incorrect Answers:
A: The diskmon process is a fundamental component of Oracle Exadata Storage Server Software, and is responsible for implementing I/O fencing. The process is
located on the database server host computer, and is part of Oracle Clusterware Cluster Ready Services (Oracle Clusterware CRS).
D, E: Oracle Virtual Machine (OVM) runs on the database servers.
QUESTION 7
Which two statements are true regarding the use of Auto Service Request (ASR) with an X6 Database Machine?
A. The database server ILOMs must use SMTP over the management network for notifications to ASR Manager.
B. The database server ILOMs must have SNMP traps configured to use the management network for notifications to ASR Manager.
C. The storage server ILOMs must have SNMP traps configured to use the management network for notifications to ASR Manager.
D. The database server MS process must have SNMP traps configured to use the management network for notifications to ASR Manager.
Correct Answer: BC
Section: (none)
Explanation
B: Database Server ILOM plug-in
Monitoring databases and their instances, ASM environments, the Grid Infrastructure, and the host software environment are done by Enterprise Manager in the

QUESTION 8
Which three statements are true regarding the configuration of Auto Service Request (ASR) on an X5 Database Machine?
A. ASR Manager may be installed on any type of server running Oracle Solaris.
B. ASR Manager may be installed on any type server running Oracle Linux.
C. Oracle Linux must be used on the server where ASR Manager is installed.
D. SMTP must be enabled on at least one database server.
E. Oracle Solaris must be used on the server where ASR Manager is installed.
F. ASR Manager must be installed on one of the database servers.
G. HTTPS connectivity must be enabled from the ASR Manager host to the Internet.
Correct Answer: ABG

Section: (none)
Explanation
AB: Oracle recommends that you install Oracle ASR Manager on an external, standalone server. This server receives fault telemetry information from Oracle
Exadata Database Machine servers. This server must run an Oracle Solaris or Linux operating system.
G: Before installing Oracle Auto Service Request (Oracle ASR) you must ensure connectivity to the Internet using HTTPS.

QUESTION 9
Which three storage components are available after nonvirtualized standard deployment of an X5 Database Machine using high-capacity disks?
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
Correct Answer: CEF

Section: (none)
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 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$ASM_DISKGROUP or by using the ASMCMD LSDG command?
A. cold_used_mb
B. total_mb
C. required_mirror_free_mb
D. free_mb
E. usable_file_mb
Correct Answer: BD
Section: (none)
Explanation
Determine the Amount of Available Space
To increase the size of the disks in a disk group you must either have unallocated disk space available, or you have to reallocate space currently used by a different
disk group.
Example: View the space currently used by the disk groups.
SELECT name, total_mb, free_mb, total_mb - free_mb used_mb, round(100*free_mb/total_mb,2) pct_free
FROM v$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 11
You are planning your deployment of Enterprise Manager to monitor all the components of an X5 Database Machine.
A part of the requirement is to provide for high availability of the monitoring infrastructure.
If the host running the agent that has Database Machine targets bound to it fails, the monitoring of these targets must be done by another agent.
Which three statements are true regarding the configuration used to support this requirement?
A. Database Machine plug-ins must be deployed to at least two Enterprise Manager agents.
B. Fail back to the original agent when the host is restarted is done automatically.
C. Fail over to any secondary agent is done automatically.
D. Fail over to any secondary agent must be done manually.
E. Database machine plug-ins must be deployed to all Enterprise Manager agents.
F. Fail back to the original agent when the host is restarted must be done manually.
Correct Answer: BCE
Section: (none)
Explanation
QUESTION 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 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.
Correct Answer: CE
Section: (none)
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 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
F. querying a table containing a JSON column
Correct Answer: BE
Section: (none)
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.
Incorrect Answers:
A: Smart scan can cope with some cases of chained rows

QUESTION 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).
Correct Answer: D
Section: (none)
Explanation
On both physical and virtual deployments, Exadata systems use minimal Linux distributions to ensure that just the RPMs needed to run Oracle database, are
installed and enabled.
References: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/exadata/exadata-x5-2-ds-2406241.pdf
QUESTION 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.
Correct Answer: DE
Section: (none)
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.

QUESTION 16
Which two are true concerning Columnar Flash Caching?
A. It can be enabled or disabled for individual databases by using I/O Resource Manager database plans.
B. It automatically transforms ROW STORE COMPRESS compressed data into a pure columnar 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.
Correct Answer: DE
Section: (none)
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.
Incorrect Answers:
F: Columnar Flash Caching accelerates reporting and analytic queries while maintaining excellent performance for OLTP style single row lookups.

QUESTION 17
You are evaluating the performance of a SQL statement that accesses a very large table.
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.
Correct Answer: CD
Section: (none)
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.
Note: The Cell physical IO interconnect bytes returned by smart scan metric shows how many bytes of I/O were returned by a smart scan to the database server.

QUESTION 18
You wish to determine if the I/O resource management plan that you created has helped improve the performance of OLTP category I/Os on your X6 Exadata
Database Machine.
You decide to examine the relevant metrics on all the cells, to see whether the I/O rate has improved for this category compared to last week, and whether waits
and wait time have been reduced.
You issue this command on the first cell:
You examine the output from the first cell which contains:
Which two sets of metrics would you use to determine whether the I/O performance has improved for the OLTP category for the duration of the one-hour
measurement period?
A. CT_IO_RQ_SM, CT_IO_RQ_LG, CT_IO_RQ_SM_SEC, and CT_IO_RQ_LG_SEC

B. CT_IO_UTIL_SM and CT_IO_UTIL_LG
C. CT_IO_RQ_SM_SEC and CT_IO_RQ_LG_SEC
D. CT_IO_WT_SM, CT_IO_WT_LG, CT_IO_WT_SM_RQ, and CT_IO_WT_LG_RQ
Correct Answer: D
Section: (none)
Explanation
CT_IO_RQ_SM
The cumulative number of small I/O requests issued by the category for hard disks. A large value indicates a heavy I/O workload from this category.
CT_IO_RQ_LG
The cumulative number of large I/O requests issued by the category for hard disks. A large value indicates a heavy I/O workload from this category.
CT_IO_WT_SM_RQ
The average IORM wait time per request for small I/O requests issued to hard disks by an IORM category.
CT_IO_WT_LG_RQ
The average IORM wait time per request for large I/O requests issued to hard disks by an IORM category.
Incorrect Answers:
A: CT_IO_RQ_SM_SEC
This metric is derived from CT_IO_RQ_SM. It specifies the rate of small I/O requests issued by the category for hard disks. Its units are number of I/O requests per
second. A large value indicates a heavy I/O workload from this category in the past minute.
B: CT_IO_UTIL_SM
The percentage of disk resources utilized by small requests from this category.

QUESTION 19
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.
Correct Answer: ABC

Section: (none)
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.
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.
Incorrect Answers:
D: Category plans are configured and enabled using the CellCLI utility on the cell. Only one category plan can be enabled at a time.

QUESTION 22
Which two are true about sparse griddisks and their use in disk groups on an X5 Exadata Database Machine?
A. Sparse diskgroups must be created using sparse griddisks.

B. Sparse diskgroups may be created using a combination of sparse and non-sparse griddisks.
C. Sparse diskgroups may not be used for database snapshots.
D. Additional space for a sparse griddisk is allocated as soon as newly written data is stored in the flashcache on a cell.
E. The virtual size of a sparse griddisk may exceed the physical size of the space occupied by the griddisk.
Correct Answer: AE
Section: (none)
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.
Correct Answer: BCF

Section: (none)
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 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.
Correct Answer: DE
Section: (none)
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.

QUESTION 25
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.
Correct Answer: ACF

Section: (none)
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.
Incorrect Answers:
B: Stateful alerts are automatically cleared on transition to normal.
Stateless alerts are never cleared unless you change the alert by setting the examine by attribute.
D, E: Alerts can be stateless or stateful.
QUESTION 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. 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.
Correct Answer: AD
Section: (none)
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.
References: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E80920_01/DBMMN/maintaining-exadata-storage-servers.htm#GUID-710814E7-4691-49EE-95AD-726D2D6C5BFE
QUESTION 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.
Correct Answer: DE
Section: (none)
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.
Incorrect Answers:
C: Database Flash Cache is separate from Exadata Smart Flash Cache. The Database Smart Flash Cache feature and increase the buffercache of your database
from like 100G or 200G to 300-700G on that same server.

QUESTION 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
Correct Answer: B
Section: (none)
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 with similar 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.

After creating 96 new griddisks, you issued this SQL statement:
How many failgroups if any, will be added to the DATA diskgroup by executing this SQL statement?
A. 0, because the new griddisks will be added to the existing failgroups

B. 12, consisting of seven griddisks each
C. 96, consisting of seven griddisk each
D. 7, consisting of 12 griddisks each
E. 1, consisting of all 96 griddisks
Correct Answer: D
Section: (none)
Explanation
The number of failure groups equals the number of Exadata Cells. Each failure group is composed of a subset of grid disks in the Oracle ASM disk group that
belong to a single storage cell.

F. Cloud Control can monitor and manage a Database Machine storage Expansion rack.
G. Oracle management agents must only be installed on one compute node in a Database Machine to enable monitoring and management of all compute nodes
and storage nodes.
Correct Answer: BCFG

Section: (none)
Explanation
B (not A): Oracle Exadata components—including database and storage servers, switches, and power distribution units (PDUs)—use SNMP to raise alerts and
report monitoring information.
Oracle’s CellCLI interface is a Java-based framework delivered by the storage cell’s management server process (MS) that provides administrative capabilities to
your storage server entities.
C: Cloud control can monitor the Exadata Database Machine.
Figure: Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 12c monitoring architecture. Note the Management Server process (MS) on the Storage servers.
G (not D): Before using Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 12c with Oracle Exadata, an Oracle Management Agent and Oracle Exadata plug-in must be
installed on every Oracle Exadata database server (compute node). This agent monitors software targets, such as the database instances and Oracle Clusterware
resources, on the database servers. The plug-in enables monitoring of other hardware components in Oracle Exadata, including the storage servers, switches, and
power distribution units.

D. installing a Host Bus Adapter (HBA) in the storage servers
E. replacing the Cisco Ethernet switch with another make or model
F. replacing the Infiniband switches with another make or model
Correct Answer: BD
Section: (none)
Explanation
B: Updating Exadata Database Servers (compute nodes).
The software and firmware components that are updated for a specific release depend on the current Exadata software release the database server is running and
the release you are updating to. Linux operating system packages and Exadata software are always updated while firmware may be updated for only a small
selection of the components or not at all.
D: The storage cells (storage servers/nodes) contain HBAs, and spare PCI I/O slots.

QUESTION 34
Which two statements are true about Auto Service Request (ASR) with an X5 Database Machine?
A. ASR Manager must be installed and configured on a dedicated server external to the Database Machine.
B. Configuring ASR is mandatory for all Database Machine assets.
C. ASR Manager opens a service request (SR) automatically after sensors detect hardware faults.
D. ASR Manager must be installed and configured on one of the database servers.
E. ASR can upload configuration metadata to support problem resolution.
F. ASR communicates with Oracle support services using HTTPS.
Correct Answer: AC
Section: (none)
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 independently.
Incorrect Answers:
D: Oracle recommends that you install Oracle ASR Manager on an external, standalone server.

QUESTION 35
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.
Correct Answer: DE
Section: (none)
Explanation
The fastest database backup is achieved via InfiniBand.
Get dedicated Media Servers that connect to tape library
Offers backup rates of up to 12GB/sec
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.
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.

QUESTION 36
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.
Correct Answer: AC
Section: (none)
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 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.

QUESTION 37
Which three are true concerning Exadata snapshot databases?
A. They are supported on non-container databases.

B. They are based on a read-write copy of an existing database.
C. 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.
Correct Answer: ACD

Section: (none)
Explanation
A: An Exadata snapshot database can be either a non-container database (non-CDB) or a container database (CDB). Creating an Exadata snapshot database of a
CDB enables access to 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:
You have a pluggable database (PDB) and want to create a test master from it.
You have a container database (CDB) and want to create test masters from all its PDBs, or you have a simple non-container database and want to create a test
master from it.
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 metadata,
thereby enabling storage efficient snapshot databases.

QUESTION 38
In which three situations will a Smart Scan occur on a table for which Smart Scan is possible, assuming that nothing in the environment prevents a Smart Scan?
A. The ASM diskgroup containing the table’s tablespace has a 4 MByte AU size.
B. Executing queries in parallel.
C. setting serial_direct_read= true in the session issuing the SQL statements and executing a serial query.
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.
Correct Answer: BCD

Section: (none)
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:
(B) Run your query in parallel as parallel full segment scans will use direct path reads, unless your parallel_degree_policy = AUTO, then you may still get
buffered reads thanks to the dynamic in-memory parallel execution decision of Oracle 11.2
(C) Run your query in serial, but force the serial direct path reads by setting _serial_direct_read = TRUE (or ALWAYS in 11.2.0.2+)
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.
Note: Smart Scan is a subset of Cell Offload Processing and is perhaps the feature that is most highly associated with Exadata. Smart Scan allows Oracle
databases to push query information down to the storage level, specifically:
Filtration (predicate information)
Column Projection
Join Filtering
Incorrect Answers:
F: Objects such as clusters and index organized tables cannot be Smart Scanned.

QUESTION 42
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’
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
Correct Answer: CE
Section: (none)
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.
QUESTION 43

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
Correct Answer: A
Section: (none)
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.
Incorrect Answers:
B: The objective can be changed to high_throughput which will increase the scan throughput at the cost of critical I/O latency.
C, D: The recommended objective option is auto which allows IORM to continuously monitor the workloads, and select the best mode based on the active
workloads currently on the cells. The objective values of auto and balanced have the same behavior.
QUESTION 49
Which three are true concerning Smart Scans?
A. The decision to perform a Smart Scan is made by the Optimizer.

B. Smart Scans are only possible during full table scans or fast full index scans.
C. Smart Scans are possible on Index Organized Tables (IOTs).
D. Smart Scans always outperform scans that are not offloaded.
E. Smart Scans are possible on heap organized tables.
F. Smart Scans are possible on uncompressed B*Tree indexes.
Correct Answer: ABF

Section: (none)
Explanation

QUESTION 50
You plan to migrate an existing production database supporting online transaction processing (OLTP) workloads to an X6 Exadata Database Machine.
The database currently supports an application requiring fast response times to satisfy stringent business requirements, and most of the application queries use
indexed access to tables.
For which two cases would you consider dropping indexes that are not used for constraints after the migration to assure that Smart Scans occur?
A. if Smart Scan performs better that any type of index scan on the corresponding table.
B. if Smart only occur instead of index skip scans on the corresponding table.
C. if Smart only occur instead of index range scans on the corresponding table.
D. if Smart Scans performs equally well to any type of index scan on the corresponding table.

Explanation
QUESTION 52
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.
Correct Answer: CEF

Section: (none)
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?
BASIC and OLTP:
the updated row stays in the compressed block ‘usual’ Oracle’s row-level locks
Hybrid columnar:
Updated row is moved, as in a delete + insert
How to see that? With dbms_rowid package
New row is OLTP compressed if possible
Lock affects the entire CU that contains the row
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.
Incorrect Answers:
B: Data remains compressed not only on disk, but also remains compressed in the Exadata Smart Flash Cache, on Infiniband, in the database server buffer cache,
as well as when doing back-ups or log shipping to Data Guard.

QUESTION 53
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.
Correct Answer: ACF

Section: (none)
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.

Which three are true concerning Exadata Smart Flash Cache on X6 Database Machines with High Capacity Storage Servers?
A. The “keep” cache is limited to a maximum of 80% of the total Smart Flash Cache capacity.
B. Smart Scan will always use the Smart Flash Cache for all I/Os fast full index capacity.
C. Smart Scan will always use the Smart Flash Cache for all I/Os for full table scans.
D. Single block reads can benefit from Smart Flash Cache.
E. Multiblock reads can benefit from Smart Flash Cache.
Correct Answer: BDE
Section: (none)
Explanation
D: By default Exadata stores only small I/Os in the Exadata Smart Flash Cache. Small I/Os in most cases are single-block reads. During a full table scan Oracle
requests blocks in multiblock lumps (by default 16 blocks), and these are
Incorrect Answers:
C: Oracle has over time has almost completely eliminated caching of table scan blocks from the buffer cache and why by default Exadata does not cache full table
scan blocks in the Exadata Smart Flash Cache.
During a full table scan Oracle requests blocks in multiblock lumps (by default 16 blocks), and these are not stored in the Exadata Smart Flash Cache unless you
change the CELL_FLASH_CACHE clause for the segment.
