QUESTION 1
Which three statements are true about ASM Cloud File System (ACFS) auditing?

A. Audit information gathered by each cluster node can be consolidated into the unified ACFS audit trail.
B. acfsutil audit archive must be used to archive audit files that are larger than 10MB.
C. acfsutil audit init must be run by a system administrator.
D. acfsutil audit purge can be run by an audit manager.
E. acfsutil audit read marks audit files to indicate that it is safe to purge them.

Answer: C,D,E

Explanation:
C: The acfsutil audit init command must be run by the system administrator before enabling auditing for any of the audit sources on a file system.
D: Only an audit manager can run the acfsutil audit purge command.
E: acfsutil audit read marks the audit trail to indicate to the audit manager that the log archive file for the currentnode has been reviewed, backed up as necessary, and is safe to purge.

QUESTION 2
Which three statements are true about Oracle Enterprise Manager Topology Viewer?

A. It displays which listeners listen on behalf of which instances.
B. It displays the relationship between targets of different target types in a cluster.
C. It displays the status of all cluster components.
D. It displays the status of Pluggable Databases (PDBs) in a multitenant container database (CDB).
E. It displays the relationship between clustered ASM and cluster databases ifthe database is stored in ASM.
F. It displays the type of network used by RAC database instance.

Answer: A,B,E

Explanation:
Using the topology view you can quickly see the components that comprise your cluster database environment, such as database instances, listeners, Oracle ASM instances, hosts, and interfaces.
Note: Enterprise Manager provides a Topology Viewer which is a graphical representation of routing relationships across targets, components and elements. You can easily determine how requests arerouted across components. For
example, you can see how requests are routed from Oracle Web Cache, to Oracle HTTP Server, to a Managed Server, to a data source.
The Topology Viewer allows you to view the relationships between components, nodes, or objectswithin different Oracle applications.

QUESTION 3
Which three statements are true about the services created when the DBCA is used to create a RAC database?

A. They can be policy managed for a multitenant database.
B. Singleton servicesare not permitted for multitenant databases.
C. A server-pool must be created with SRVCTL before creating a policy-managed RAC database that uses that server pool for a service.
D. Policy-managed services specified for a database allow the creation of a new server pool using DBCA.
E. They can be administrator managed for a multitenant database.

Answer: B,C,E

Explanation:
C: Cluster Managed Services are no longer managed through DBCA. Instead, use the Cluster Managed Services page in
Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control, if available, or SRVCTL.
E: During installation, if you select a multitenant container database (CDB), and configure pluggable databases (PDBs), then Oracle recommends that you add services to the PDBs after installation.
IncorrectAnswers:
D: Cluster Managed Services are no longer managed through DBCA. Instead, use the Cluster Managed Services page in
Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control, if available, or SRVCTL.

QUESTION 4
When installing Oracle Grid Infrastructure 12c, which three options exist for the configuration of Grid naming Service (GNS)?

A. using Shared GNS for the leaf nodes and local GNS for the hub nodes in a Flex Cluster
B. using Shared GNS running on another cluster
C. using Shared GNS for the hub nodes and local GNS for the leaf nodes in a Flex Cluster
D. creation of a new GNS for this cluster
E. using DHCP to assign Node Virtual IP addresses for nodes in the cluster

Answer: B,D,E

Explanation:
B: With dynamic configurations, you can configure GNS to provide name resolution for one cluster, or to advertise resolution for multiple clusters, so that a single GNS instance can perform name resolution for multiple registered
clusters. This option is called shared GNS.
D: With static configurations, no subdomain is delegated. A DNS administrator configures the GNS VIP to resolve to a name and address configured on the DNS, and a DNS administrator configures a SCAN name to resolve to three static
addresses for the cluster.
E: With automatic configurations, a DNS administrator delegates a domainon the DNS to be resolved through the GNS subdomain. Automatic configuration occurs in one of the following ways:

QUESTION 5
Examine this query and output:
SQL> select order_flag, cache_size, session_flag, keep_value,
2 from user_sequences where sequence_name = ‘SEQ1’;
O CACHE_SIZE S K
— ——————- — —
Y 10 N N
Performance analysis revealed severe SQ enqueue contention on the SEQ1 sequence.
The SEQ1 sequence is incremented from all instances equally and is frequently used.
Which two statements should you execute to reduce SQ enqueue contention?

A. alter sequence seq1 cache 10000;
B. alter sequence seq1 order;
C. alter sequence seq1 noorder;
D. exec sys.dbms_shared_pool.keep (‘SEQ1’, ‘Q’)
E. alter sequence seq1 keep;

Answer: A,D

Explanation:
A: Use cache.
D: The KEEP procedure keepsan object in the shared pool. Once an object has been kept in the shared pool, it is not
subject to aging out of the pool. This may be useful for frequently used large objects. When large objects are brought
into the shared pool, several objects may needto be aged out to create a contiguous area large enough.
