The Exadata architecture is divided into two specific tiers: the database tier and the storage tier. What protocol do these tiers use to communicate with each other?

A. iDB - Intelligent Database Protocol

B. InfiniBand protocol

C. Ethernet protocol

D. Secure Shell protocol

E. Fibre Channel protocol

Which statement explains the difference between Normal and High redundancy ASM failure groups?

A. Normal redundancy protects the DATA diskgroup, whereas High redundancy protects the RECO diskgroup.

B. Normal redundancy (best practice) provides protection against two simultaneous disk failures, whereas High redundancy provides protection against a single disk failure or an entire storage server failure.

C. High redundancy gives more usable storage, whereas Normal redundancy provides better I/O performance.

D. Normal redundancy protects from disk failure when a cell is offline or being updated, whereas High redundancy protects the system when all the cells are offline.

E. Normal redundancy tolerates a single cell failure, whereas High redundancy tolerates a two-cell failure.

When backing up a storage cell, what is actually being backed up?

A. the first two disks in a storage cell that contain the Linux operating system

B. all the disk headers and storage indexes in the storage cell

C. the contents of the CELLBOT USB flash drive

D. the Linux RPM that is used to deploy the storage cell software

What are two value propositions for using the Oracle Configuration Manager (OCM) on Exadata? (Choose two.)

A. automatic resolution of configuration issues without customer intervention

B. improved access to best practices and Oracle knowledge base

C. fewer SRs to open

D. guaranteed better performance

E. faster issue resolution

Which Exadata feature eliminates unnecessary data transfers between database nodes and storage?

A. Flash Cache

B. database views

C. InfiniBand networking

D. high performance SAS2 disk drives

E. cell offloading

Which three configurations would you recommend to provide High Availability? (Choose three.)

A. enabling Flashback Technologies - for fast point-in-time recovery from logical corruptions and for fast reinstatement of a primary database following failover

B. configuring bonding for the management network in order to provide highest availability for the Data Guard network

C. using Normal redundancy diskgroups for all diskgroups where the primary database is protected by a Data Guard standby database that is deployed on the same Exadata Database Machine

D. when no Data Guard standby database is deployed, using High redundancy for both the RECO and DATA diskgroups

E. using Normal redundancy diskgroups for all diskgroups where the primary database is protected by a Data Guard standby database that is deployed on a separate Exadata Database Machine

F. when no Data Guard standby database is available, configuring Exadata as a stretched RAC

When performing the Oracle recommended bonding of NETl/NETZ or NET4/NET5, what other step should be completed in order to ensure connectivity, in case of a network hardware outage?

A. Each link should terminate at a separate switch to provide network redundancy.

B. NET0/NET3 should also be bonded and linked to a separate network.

C. The MTU should be set to 7000 to improve performance.

D. Jumbo Frames should be disabled.

E. STP should be disabled to prevent routing loops.

Consider the following command:

./patchmgr -cells dm01 -patch -rolling

Which two actions does this command perform? (Choose two.)

A. upgrades one or more Exadata Storage Servers simultaneously

B. upgrades one or more Exadata Storage Servers listed in the dm01 file

C. upgrades one or more Exadata Storage Servers, one at a time

D. rolls back one or more Exadata Storage Servers to the previous release

E. upgrades one or more Exadata Storage Servers and InfiniBand Switches

F. upgrades an Exadata Storage Server named dm01

When preparing to install ASR on your customer's Exadata Database Machine, which user account will you use first to configure the Exadata Database Server?

A. asmadmin

B. oracle

C. asruser

D. celladmin

E. root

F. asradmin

Which two statements appropriately describe the backup and recovery procedures on Exadata? (Choose two.)

A. The data that is stored in a database is backed up and restored by using CellCLI commands.

B. The cell software backup is automatic and cell recovery is accomplished by using a rescue procedure.

C. The database server software backup is automatic and recovery is accomplished by using a rescue procedure.

D. The data that is stored in a database is backed up and restored by using RMAN commands.

E. The cell software backup is performed through CellCLI and cell recovery is accomplished by using a rescue procedure.
