QUESTION 1
Which three are true about Exadata Smart Flash Log?
https://www.gratisexam.com/
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.
Explanation/Reference:
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 4
Which two are true about sparse griddisks and their use in disk groups on an X5 Exadata Database Machine?
Correct Answer: AE
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation/Reference:
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.

QUESTION 6
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 archivelogmode.
https://www.gratisexam.com/
885CB989129A5F974833949052CFB2F2
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 noarchivelogmode.
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
Explanation/Reference:
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 7
Which three statements are true about Exadata storage server alerts in an X5 Database Machine?
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
Exadata cell (storage server) alerts can be delivered using SMTP or SNMP or both.
https://www.gratisexam.com/
885CB989129A5F974833949052CFB2F2
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.
QUESTION 8
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
Explanation/Reference:
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 9
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.
https://www.gratisexam.com/
885CB989129A5F974833949052CFB2F2
Correct Answer: DE
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation/Reference:
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 10
In which scenario will griddisks residing on the same celldisk have balanced performance characteristics in an X5 High Capacity Exadata Storage Server?
Correct Answer: B
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation/Reference:
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.

Correct Answer: BCFG
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation/Reference:
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.
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.

A: Oracle recommends that you install Oracle ASR Manager on an external, standalone server.
https://www.gratisexam.com/
885CB989129A5F974833949052CFB2F2
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.

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
Explanation/Reference:
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 18
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
Explanation/Reference:
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 19
Which three are true concerning Exadata snapshot databases?
https://www.gratisexam.com/
885CB989129A5F974833949052CFB2F2
Explanation
Explanation/Reference:
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 20
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.
Explanation/Reference:
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:
https://www.gratisexam.com/
885CB989129A5F974833949052CFB2F2
(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.

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?
Correct Answer: CE
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation/Reference:
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 30
You issued these commands to all Exadata Storage Servers in an X6 Exadata Database Machine using dcli:
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?
https://www.gratisexam.com/
885CB989129A5F974833949052CFB2F2
D. alter iormplan objective = auto
Correct Answer: A
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation/Reference:
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.

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.
https://www.gratisexam.com/
885CB989129A5F974833949052CFB2F2
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.
Explanation/Reference:
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 35
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.
https://www.gratisexam.com/
885CB989129A5F974833949052CFB2F2
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.
Explanation/Reference:
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.

You are evaluating the performance of a SQL statement that accesses a very large table.
Identify two reasons why the “physical read total bytes” statistic is greater than the “cell physical IO bytes eligible for predicate offload” statistic.
A. There is an index on the column used in the WHERE clause, causing “cell multiblock physical reads” to be requested by the database instance, resulting in
additional I/O.
B. The table is an IOT and has an overflow segment, causing “cell multiblock physical reads” to be requested by the database instance, resulting in additional I/O.
C. There is an uncommitted transaction 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.
D. The table is an index clustered table, causing “cell single block physical reads” to be requested by the database instance, resulting in additional I/O.

E. There are migrated rows in the table, causing some “cell single block physical reads” to be requested by the database instance, resulting in additional I/O.
Correct Answer: BE
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
Note:
physical read total bytes: the size of the segment to read is known by the database, and must be read entirely from the database’s perspective.
cell physical IO bytes eligible for predicate offload: this statistic shows the amount of data which the cell server is able to process on behalf of the database,
instead of the database processing and the cell server just delivering blocks.
Cell physical IO bytes eligible for predicate offload --- This number should be high
The higher the number more MB/GB is filtered out at the cell level itself rather sending it to the buffer cache to filter the rows.
In this case, all bytes are processed on the cellserver (cell physical IO bytes eligible for predicate offload=physical read total bytes)
Cell Offloading:-
The storage cells are intelligent enough to process some workload inside them, saving the database nodes from that work. This process is referred to as cell
offloading.

A. ILOM on database servers can use IPMI to send sensor alerts to an Enterprise Manager Agent.
B. ILOM on a storage server uses SNMP to send sensor alerts to the cellsrv process on the same storage server.
C. ILOM on a storage server uses IPMI to send sensor alerts to the MS process on the same storage server.
D. ILOM on a storage server uses SNMP to send sensor alerts to the MS process on the same storage server.
E. ILOM on database servers can use SNMP to send sensor alerts to an Enterprise Manager Agent.
Correct Answer: CE
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
C: ILOM supports the Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI), which enables you to monitor and control your server platform, as well as to retrieve
information about your server platform.
ILOM supports alerts in the form of IPMI Platform Event Trap (PET) alerts. Alerts provide advance warning of possible system failures.
E: Oracle ILOM supports the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), which is used to exchange data about network activity.
SNMP functionality requires the following two components:
Network management station – A network management station hosts management applications, which monitor and control managed nodes.
Managed node – A managed node is a device such as a server, router, or hub that hosts SNMP management agents that are responsible for carrying out
requests from management stations, such as a service processor (SP) running Oracle ILOM. Managed nodes can also provide unsolicited status information to a
management station in the form of a trap.

C. Storage Indexes persist across any Exadata storage server reboots.
D. The use of Storage Indexes for a particular database can be disabled by using an I/O Resource Manager Database Plan.
E. A Storage Index is automatically maintained by CELLSRV based on the filter columns of the offloaded SQL.
F. Different storage regions may have different columns indexed for the same table.
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
A: Each disk in the Exadata storage cell is divided into equal sized pieces called storage regions (default 1MB). There is an index entry for every storage regions
(1MB of data stored on disk). Each entry contains the minimum and maximum value for columns seen in ‘where’ clause predicates. Information for up to 8 columns
can be stored. The index is then used to eliminate disk IO by identifying which storage regions don’t match the ‘where’ clause of a query.

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.
Correct Answer: BC
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation/Reference:
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.

2. OLTP compression, introduced in Oracle 11 and recommended for OLTP Databases as well
3. QUERY LOW compression (Exadata only), recommended for Data Warehouse with Load Time as a critical factor
4. QUERY HIGH compression (Exadata only), recommended for Data Warehouse with focus on Space Saving
5. ARCHIVE LOW compression (Exadata only), recommended for Archival Data with Load Time as a critical factor
6. ARCHIVE HIGH compression (Exadata only), recommended for Archival Data with maximum Space Saving
Incorrect Answers:
B:
1. BASIC compression, introduced in Oracle 8 already and only recommended for Data Warehouse
2. OLTP compression, introduced in Oracle 11 and recommended for OLTP Databases as well
3. QUERY LOW compression (Exadata only), recommended for Data Warehouse with Load Time as a critical factor
4. QUERY HIGH compression (Exadata only), recommended for Data Warehouse with focus on Space Saving
5. ARCHIVE LOW compression (Exadata only), recommended for Archival Data with Load Time as a critical factor
6. ARCHIVE HIGH compression (Exadata only), recommended for Archival Data with maximum Space Saving
Method 1 and 2 are working by compressing the rows inside of Oracle Blocks – the more redundant values inside the block, the better the compression ratio. OLTP
compression might be used with Exadata Database Machine, because Exadata V2 is designed to support OLTP as well as Data Warehouse. Methods 3 to 6 use
Hybrid Columnar Compression (HCC), which is designed to achieve better compression ratios by organizing sets of rows into compression units and then detaching
the columns from the rows and collecting them. It is more likely that the same columns store similar (redundant) data, therefore the compression ratio improves with
HCC.

Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
https://www.gratisexam.com/
885CB989129A5F974833949052CFB2F2
CD: That 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.
E (not B): Use the Write-Back Flash Cache feature to leverage the Exadata Flash hardware and make Exadata Database Machine a faster system for Oracle
Database Deployments. Write-through cache mode is slower than write-back cache mode. However, write-back cache mode has a risk of data loss if the Exadata
Storage Server loses power or fails.
F: Storage indexes are not stored on disk; they are resident in the memory of the storage cell servers.
Incorrect Answers:
A: Storage indexes are not stored on disk; they are resident in the memory of the storage cell servers. They are created automatically after the storage cells receive
repeated queries—with predicates—for columns. No user intervention is needed to create or maintain storage indexes. And because they are memory-resident
structures, they disappear when the storage cells are rebooted.

Explanation
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
The CALIBRATE command runs raw performance tests on cell disks, enabling you to verify the disk performance before the cell is put online. You must be logged
on to the cell as the root user to run CALIBRATE.
Oracle ILOM automatically detects system hardware faults and environmental conditions on the server. If a problem occurs on the server, Oracle ILOM will
automatically do the following:
Illuminate the Service Required status indicator (LED) on the server front and back panels.
Identify the faulted component in the Open Problems table.
Record system information about the faulted component or condition in the event log.

You can issue an ExaCLI command to be run on multiple remote nodes. Remote nodes are referenced by their host name or IP address. Unlike dcli, exadcli can
only execute ExaCLI commands. Other commands, for example, shell commands, cannot be executed using exadcli.
Incorrect Answers:
A: Note that exadcli runs ExaCLI in a “no-prompt” mode. This means that if user interaction is needed (for example, if you need to enter a password or if you need to
verify that the certificate from a remote node is valid), then exadcli will exit with an error.

QUESTION 56
Which two statements are true about Exadata X5 cell metrics and alerts?
A. Cell alerts on each storage server are accumulated in memory by the CELLSRV process and stored on a filesystem-based repository.
B. Cell metrics are written to disk every hour by default.
C. Cell metrics on each storage server are accumulated in memory by the CELLSRV process and written to a filesystem-based repository.
D. Cell alerts on each server are accumulated in memory by the MS process and stored on a filesystem-based repository.
E. Cell alerts are written to disk every hour by default.
Correct Answer: BD
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
Metrics are a series of measurements that are computed and retained in memory for an interval of time, and stored on a disk for a more permanent history.
On the storage servers, the CELLSRV process provides the majority of Oracle Exadata storage services and is the primary storage software component. One of its
functions is to process, collect, and store metrics. The Management Server (MS) process receives the metrics data from CELLSRV, keeps a subset of metrics in
memory, and writes to an internal disk-based repository hourly.
