Which two can be used to monitor the rebalancing?
A. ams_cmd lsop
B. v$asm_disk
C. v$asm_operation
D. v$asm_diskgroup
E. v$session_longops
F. amscmd lsdg
Correct Answer: CD
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
C: Oracle ASM automatically rebalances when the configuration of a disk group changes. By default, the ALTER DISKGROUP statement does not wait until the
operation is complete before returning. Query the V$ASM_OPERATION view to monitor the status of this operation.
D: Verify that the rebalance is waiting:
SQL> select * from v$asm_operation
where group_number = (select GROUP_NUMBER from v$asm_diskgroup where NAME='BDT');

QUESTION 5
Examine this command:
SQl> CREATE DISKGROUP RECO HIGH REDUNDANCY:
FAILGROUP fgrpl1 DISK
/dev/disk1 NAME disk1,
ATTRIBUTE au_size=4M,
compatible.asm = 12.1,
compatible.rdbms = 12.1,
compatible.advm = 12.1,
content_type = recovery;
Which two statements are true about this disk group?
A. File created in it have three copies for each allocation unit.

B. Any database instance with the COMPATIBLE parameter 10.1 and higher can use it.
C. The Compatible attribute values of the disk group can be changed to lower values.
D. Files created using a template with the redundancy attributes set to MIRROR will have three-way Mirroring.
E. The RECO diskgroup may only be used for the FRA.
F. Files created using a template with the redundancy attribute set to HIGH will have three-way mirroring.
Correct Answer: AF
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
For Oracle ASM to mirror files, specify the redundancy level as NORMAL REDUNDANCY (2-way mirroring by default for most file types) or HIGH REDUNDANCY
(3-way mirroring for all files).
Note:
When a file is created, redundancy and striping attributes are set for that file based on an explicitly named template or the system template that is the default
template for the file type.
Incorrect Answers:
B: Compatible.rdbms is set to 12.1, not to 10.1.
C: The compatible attributes cannot be reversed.
D: With the MIRROR redundancy attribute, the file is written to a disk in one failure group, a mirrored copy of the file is written to a disk in another failure group.
E: FRA (Flash Recovery Area) is not referenced in the creation of the diskgroup.

QUESTION 19
Which two statements are true concerning buffer states as shown in GV$BH.STATUS in Oracle 12c RAC?
A. An XCUR block image may exist for a specific database block in only one instance.
B. A CR image may get served from one instance to another to satisfy a read request.
C. An XCUR image is not downgraded to a SCUR image for shipping to another instance until commits occur for updated rows on the block.
D. A PI block image may exist for a specific database block in only one instance.
Correct Answer: AB
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
A: xcur is a RAM block that has been acquired in exclusive current mode. According the Oracle documentation, if a buffer state is exclusive current (XCUR), an
instance owns the resource in exclusive mode.
B: cr mode indicates a "cloned" RAM block (a "stale" block), that was once in xcur mode. The instance has shared access to the block and can only perform reads.
The cr state means the owning instance can perform a consistent read of the block, if the instance holds an older version of the data.

A. In a RAC One Node database, there is no LMD0 process if only one instance is running.
B. Global Enqueues and Instance Locks replace mutexes completely in RAC database instances.
C. In a RAC database, there is no LMD0 process if only one instance is running.
D. Global Enqueues and Instance Locks replace latches completely in RAC database instances.
E. Global Enqueues may have owners and waiters in the same instance.
F. Global Enqueues may have converters and waiters in the same instance.
Correct Answer: AF
Section: (none)
Explanation
F: A convert queue is a queue of locks that are waiting to be converted to particular mode, this is the process of changing a lock from one mode to another, even a
NULL is a lock. A resource has a lock value block (LVB). The Global Resource Manager (GRM) keeps the lock information valid and correct across the cluster.
Oracle 10g release 2 and beyond replaced some latch mechanisms with the mutex approach, claiming that they are faster and more efficient than traditional
locking mechanisms.
Incorrect Answers:
B, D: Mutexes are objects that exist within the operating system to provide access to shared memory structures. They are similar to latches.

E. It applies a patch to all database ORACLE_HOMEs of any version on the first cluster node.
F. It applies a patch to all database ORACLE_HOMEs of any version on all cluster nodes.
Correct Answer: BD
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
OPatchauto is Oracle's strategic tool for binary and configuration patching. For the supported environments, OPatchauto sequences and executes all required
steps, on all nodes, for comprehensive patch application.
Note: The OPatchauto commands are run from the product home out of the standard OPatch directory.
Example:
$PRODUCT_HOME/OPatch/OPatchauto apply <PATH_TO_PATCH_DIRECTORY>
where <PATH_TO_PATCH_DIRECTORY> is the full path to local staging area where you have downloaded your patches.
The apply command applies a System Patch to a product home. User specified the patch location or the current directory will be taken as the patch location. .

QUESTION 28
Oracle Clusterware manages an administrator-managed database service defined with the MANUAL management policy.
Which two statements are true?
A. The service must be manually restarted with SRVCTL every time the instance hosting the service fails.
B. Clusterware will monitor the service while it is active.
C. The service must be manually restarted with SRVCTL after restarting the Clusterware stack on the node hosting the service.
D. When manually started, the service will always start on one or more available instances rather than on their preferred instances.
E. The service must be manually started with SRVCTL after a planned restart of the instance hosting the service.
Correct Answer: BE
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
MANUAL: The database is never automatically restarted upon restart of the database host computer. A MANUAL setting does not prevent Oracle Clusterware from
monitoring the database while it is running and restarting it if a failure occurs.
Note: To prevent Oracle Clusterware from restarting your Oracle RAC database when you restart your system, or to avoid restarting failed instances more than
once, configure a policy to define the degree of control. There are two policies, automatic, which is the default, and manual.

QUESTION 29
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 if the database is stored in ASM.
F. It displays the type of network used by RAC database instance.
Correct Answer: ABE

Section: (none)
Explanation
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 are routed 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 objects within different Oracle applications.

QUESTION 30
Which two statements are true regarding server-side connect-time load balancing for a RAC database when using SCAN listeners?
A. It is based on performance metrics provided by the database instances LREG processes.
B. LOCAL_LISTENER must be configured to point to the SCAN to enable server-side load balancing.
C. The services connection load balancing goal must be manually configured to enable server-side connect-time load balancing.
D. Its enabled only when LOAD_BALANCE=YES is included in the TNS entry used by the client.
E. Server-side load balancing requires the REMOTE_LISTENER to point to the SCAN.
Correct Answer: CE
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
C: With server-side load balancing, the SCAN listener directs a connection request to the best instance currently providing the service, based on the -clbgoal and -
rlbgoal settings for the service.
E: The SCAN is an essential part of Database configuration. So, by default, the REMOTE_LISTENER parameter is set to the SCAN, assuming that the Database is
created using standard Oracle tools. This enables the instances to register with the SCAN Listeners as remote listeners to provide information on what services are
being provided by the instance, the current load, and a recommendation on how many incoming connections should be directed to the instance.
Note: Single Client Access Name (SCAN) is an Oracle Real Application Clusters (Oracle RAC) feature that provides a single name for clients to access Oracle
Databases running in a cluster.
Incorrect Answers:
B: You must set the LOCAL_LISTENER parameter to the node-VIP. If you need fully qualified domain names, then ensure that the LOCAL_LISTENER parameter
is set to the fully qualified domain name. By default, a node listener is created on each node in the cluster during cluster configuration. With Oracle Grid
Infrastructure, the node listener runs out of the Oracle Grid Infrastructure home and listens on the node-VIP using the specified port.
D: LOAD_BALANCE=on, not LOAD_BALANCE=YES, is used.

QUESTION 31
You are developing a user callout procedure to send an email to the helpdesk whenever a RAC database instance fails to restart after node failure.
Examine these tasks (see exhibit):
Identify the minimum steps required, in the correct sequence, to implement this.
A. 1, 3, 7
B. 1, 4, 6
C. 2, 5, 8
D. 2, 4, 7, 8
E. 2, 4, 7
F. 1, 4, 7, 8
Correct Answer: F
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
FAN callouts are server-side executables that Oracle Restart executes immediately when high availability events occur.
You can use FAN callouts to automate the following activities when events occur, such as:
Opening fault tracking tickets
Sending messages to pagers
Sending e-mail
Starting and stopping server-side applications
Maintaining an uptime log by logging each event as it occurs
To use FAN callouts, place an executable in the directory grid_home/racg/usrco on both the primary and the standby database servers. If you are using scripts,
then set the shell as the first line of the executable. The following is an example file for the grid_home/racg/usrco/callout.sh callout:
#! /bin/ksh
FAN_LOGFILE= [your path name]/admin/log/`hostname`_uptime.log
echo $* "reported="`date` >> $FAN_LOGFILE &
Note: Oracle has proved options where a script or utility or application (called server side callout), if placed in $GRID_HOME/racg/usrco directory, will be executed
automatically.

QUESTION 32
Which three options have a RAC-specific tuning component?
A. contention on index leaf blocks

B. sequence definitions
C. the size of the online redo log buffers
D. contention for online redo log files
E. contention for archived redo log files
F. the load on the Cluster Interconnect
Correct Answer: ACF

Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
A: Contention for data and index blocks in a single instance database will probably magnify in a RAC environment.
C: A typical cause of high latencies is when the LMS process must flush uncommitted changes to the redo log prior to sending the block to the requesting instance.
If the application design is such that uncommitted blocks are often in demand across instances in the cluster then these redo log flushes might become common.
F: Examining the interconnect
When Global Cache waits are high, we should first determine if the latency is primarily the result of interconnect network waits.

B. It is possible to install multiple RAC database 12c software homes on the same cluster.
C. The RAC database 12c software home and Grid infrastructure homes must be owned by separate OS users.
D. The Cluster Verification Utility (CLUVFY) must be used to check the cluster before installing the RAC database software.
E. The Cluster Verification Utility (CLUVFY) must be used to check the cluster after installing the RAC database software.
F. The RAC database 12c software home and Grid Infrastructure homes must be owned by the same OS user.
Correct Answer: ADF
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
A: An Oracle home is the directory in which you install Oracle Database binaries, and from which Oracle Database runs. Use Oracle Appliance Manager (through
oakcli commands) to create and manage multiple Oracle homes and databases on Oracle Database Appliance.
Oracle Database Appliance supports multiple Oracle Homes including different versions for Oracle Database 11g Release 2, 11gR2 and Oracle Database Release
12c Release 1.
D: You can use Cluster Verification Utility (CVU) to assist you with system checks in preparation for starting an upgrade.
F: The same user that owned the earlier release Oracle Grid Infrastructure software must perform the Oracle Grid Infrastructure 12c Release 1 (12.1) upgrade.
Before Oracle Database 11g, either all Oracle software installations were owned by the Oracle user, typically oracle, or Oracle Database software was owned by
oracle, and Oracle Clusterware software was owned by a separate user, typically crs.

QUESTION 37
Which three statements are true about Quality of Service Management (QoS)?
A. A server-pool can be managed by QoS even if it does have database instances running on any server in the pool.
B. It can manage database services only if they are defined as UNIFORM services.
C. It requires Oracle Grid Infrastructure for a Cluster to be installed and Clusterware to be running.
D. It supports multiple databases assigned to the same server pool.
E. Databases managed by QoS can be administrator managed or policy managed.
Correct Answer: BCD
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
B: Database services should be created as UNIFORM services, meaning the service is offered by every available instance running in the specified server pool. If
your application requires a SINGLETON service, then, to use Oracle Database QoS Management in management mode, the service must run in a server pool that
has a maximum size of one. If you use a SINGLETON service in a server pool that has a maximum size greater than one, then Oracle Database QoS Management
reports a configuration violation.
C: Initial QoS configuration includes:
Installing and Configuring Oracle Grid Infrastructure for a Cluster
Creating and Configuring Server Pools
Creating and Configuring an Oracle RAC Database
Enabling Oracle Database QoS Management
Incorrect Answers:
E: It must be policy managed. When you use DBCA to create an Oracle RAC database, you select policy-managed for the database, and choose the server pools
which the database instances should run in.

QUESTION 39
After creating a RAC One Node database using SQL statements, you want to register this database with Oracle Clusterware as a policy-managed resource.
Which command, or sequence of commands, should you use?
A. srvctl add srvpool serverpool ron importance 100 min 2 max 2 servers 016n1, 016n2
srvctl add db db ron oraclehome $ORACLE_HOME dbtype raconenode serverpool ron
B. srvctl add db db ron oraclehome $ORACLE_HOME dbtype raconenode server 016n1, 016n2
C. srvctl add db db ron oraclehome $ORACLE_HOME dbtype raconenode serverpool ron server 016n1, 016n2
D. srvctl add srvpool serverpool ron importance 100 min 2 max 2 servers 016n1, 016n2
srvctl add db db ron oraclehome $ORACLE_HOME dbtype raconenode server 016n1, 016n2
Correct Answer: C
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
If your Oracle RAC One Node database did not register automatically with Oracle Clusterware, then use the srvctl add database command to add an Oracle RAC
One Node database to your cluster.
For example:
srvctl add database -c RACONENODE [-e server_list] [-i instance_name] [-w timeout]
When you add services to a policy-managed Oracle RAC One Node database, SRVCTL does not accept any placement information, but instead configures those
services using the value of the SERVER_POOLS attribute.
Note: Use the srvctl add database command to add an Oracle RAC One Node database to your cluster. For example:
srvctl add database -c RACONENODE [-e server_list] [-i instance_name] [-w timeout]
* -c {RACONENODE | RAC | SINGLE}
The type of database you are adding: Oracle RAC One Node, Oracle RAC, or single instance.

A. a shared nothing file system accessed directly by the database instances

B. a cluster file system
C. a shared NFS file system
D. the DATA disk group
E. a local file system with the same path name on each cluster node
Correct Answer: BCD

Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
There are special considerations for choosing a location for the flash recovery area in a RAC environment. The location must be on a cluster file system, ASM or a
shared directory configured through NFS. The location and disk quota must be the same on all instances.

QUESTION 41
Which three statements are true about services when used with transparent application failover (TAF) for an administrator-managed RAC database?
A. TAF-enabled sessions fail over to a surviving instance accepting logins for the service.
B. TAF-settings for the service override TAF settings in TNS entry used by the client.
C. TAF can restart a query or a transaction after failover.
D. The TAF settings for a client connections overrides any TAF settings in the service definition.
E. TAF PRECONNECT requires configuration for the service and in the client TNS entry.
Correct Answer: ACD

Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
A: SESSION failover. When the connection to an instance is lost, SESSION failover results only in the establishment of a new connection to another Oracle RAC
node; any work in progress is lost. SESSION failover is ideal for online transaction processing (OLTP) systems, where transactions are small.
C: SELECT failover. With SELECT failover, Oracle Net keeps track of all SELECT statements issued during the transaction, tracking how many rows have been
fetched back to the client for each cursor associated with a SELECT statement. If the connection to the instance is lost, Oracle Net establishes a connection to
another Oracle RAC node and re-executes the SELECT statements, repositioning the cursors so the client can continue fetching rows as if nothing has happened.
The SELECT failover approach is best for data warehouse systems that perform complex and time-consuming transactions.
D: Oracle's answer to application failover is a new Oracle Net mechanism dubbed Transparent Application Failover. TAF allows the DBA to configure the type and
method of failover for each Oracle Net client.
Incorrect Answers:
E: In PRECONNECT failover, the application simultaneously connects to both a primary and a backup node. This offers faster failover, because a pre-spawned
connection is ready to use. But the extra connection adds everyday overhead by duplicating connections.

Explanation
Explanation:
A: Use cache.
D: The KEEP procedure keeps an 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 need to be aged out to create a contiguous area
large enough.

A. acfssettag is a command provided by a platform-independent API to tag files.

B. acfssettag is a command provided by a platform-dependent API to tag files.
C. ACFS tagging is used to mark a subset of files in an ACFS file system for replication.
D. acfsutil encr on can be used to specify the tag names of the files to be encrypted.
E. acfsutil tag set can be used to tag files.
Correct Answer: ACE

Section: (none)
Explanation

A: The acfssettag command sets the tag name on an Oracle ACFS file.
Syntax
sb8 acfssettag(const oratext *path, const oratext *tagname, oratext *value,
size_t size, ub4 flags);
C: Oracle ACFS tagging assigns a common naming attribute to a group of files. Oracle ACFS Replication can use this tag to select files with a unique tag name for
replication to a different remote cluster site. The tagging option avoids having to replicate an entire Oracle ACFS file system.
E: The acfsutil tag set command adds the given tag to the specified files or directories in an Oracle ACFS file system.
Incorrect Answers:
D: The acfsutil encr on command encrypts an Oracle ACFS file system, directories, or individual files.
However, you specify a directory not a tag name.

QUESTION 52
Which two components must always be defined or specified by an administrator to make an application highly available using Oracle 12c Clusterware?
A. A Server Pool
B. an application VIP
C. an application resource
D. a resource dependency definition
E. a script agent
Correct Answer: CE
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
Oracle Clusterware manages applications when they are registered as resources with Oracle Clusterware. Oracle Clusterware has access to application-specific
primitives that have the ability to start, stop, and monitor a specific resource. Oracle Clusterware runs all resource-specific commands through an entity called an
agent.
Note: When initializing the agent framework, if any of the mandatory entry points are not provided, then the agent framework invokes a script pointed to by the
ACTION_SCRIPT resource attribute.
References: https://docs.oracle.com/database/121/CWADD/crschp.htm#CWADD92082
QUESTION 53
Which two statements are true about resources defined by an administrator and registered with Oracle 12c Clusterware for high availability?
A. A policy-managed resource can be started manually using crsctl.

B. A policy-managed resource can be started manually using srvctl.
C. Resource dependencies are automatically set when using a policy-managed resource.
D. An administrator-managed resource can be started manually using crsctl.
E. An administrator-managed resource can be started manually using srvctl.
F. The action script is automatically set when using a policy-managed resource.
Correct Answer: AE
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
A: With policy-based management, administrators specify the server pool (excluding the Generic and Free pools) in which the servers run. For example, a
database administrator uses SRVCTL to create a server pool for servers hosting a database or database service. A clusterware administrator uses CRSCTL to
create server pools for non-database use, such as creating a server pool for servers hosting an application.
E: Administrator-managed resources refer to databases. You must use SRVCTL to create server pools that host Oracle databases. You must use CRSCTL to
create server pools that host non-database resources such as middle tiers and applications.
QUESTION 54
Which statement is true about using OPatch to patch Oracle Grid Infrastructure 12c?
A. All grid infrastructure patches may be applied in a rolling fashion with Opatch.
B. Opatch can patch all cluster nodes simultaneously without stopping the clusterware on all nodes.
C. Opatch can patch all cluster nodes simultaneously only for nonrolling patches.
D. Applying patches with Opatch must be done in an out-of-place fashion.
Correct Answer: A
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
As with standard upgrades to Oracle Grid Infrastructure, at any given point in time for normal operation of the cluster, all the nodes in the cluster must have the
same software release and patch level. Because one-off patches can be applied as rolling upgrades, all possible patch levels on a particular software release are
compatible with each other.
Note: Starting with Oracle Grid Infrastructure 12c Release 1 (12.1), a new cluster state called "Rolling Patch" is available. This mode is similar to the existing
"Rolling Upgrade" mode in terms of the Oracle ASM operations allowed in this quiesce state.

QUESTION 55
Which three statements are true about the administration and use of policy sets in Oracle 12c Clusterware?
A. All server pools in a cluster are controlled by the policy set, when user-defined policy management is used.
B. Servers in a server pool outside the control of policy set are never affected by policy changes, when user-defined policy management is used.
C. Clusterware administrators cannot directly modify the policy set when Quality of Service (QoS) Management is used.
D. A server pool can have the same attributes defined for different policies in the policy set, when user-defined policy management is used.
E. A server pool can have different attributes defined for different policies in the policy set, when user-defined policy management is used.
Correct Answer: ACE

Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
A: A cluster configuration policy set is a document that defines the names of all server pools configured for the cluster and definitions for all policies.
C: If you create policies with Oracle Database Quality of Service Management (Oracle Database QoS Management), then you categorize servers by setting server
pool directive overrides, and CRSCTL commands using the policy and policyset nouns are disabled.
Note: Oracle Database 12c has introduced the policy sets, a feature that allows preparing in advance all the different workload scenarios and activating them with a
single command. The easiest way to create policy sets is dumping the current configuration into a file, edit it, and reload it into the cluster.
QUESTION 56
Your flex cluster has these attributes:
1. Hub nodes host01 and host02
2. Leaf nodes host03 and host04
3. Full Featured GNS is configured and running.
You attempt to run this command to add two more nodes to the cluster:
$ ./addnode.sh silent CLUSTER_NEW_NODES={host05,host06}
CLUSTER_NEW_NODE_ROLES={hub,leaf}
What is the result and the reason for this result?
A. It fails because no VIP was specified for the hub node host05.
B. It fails because hub and leaf nodes may not be added by the same execution of addNode.sh.
C. It fails because GNS doesnt assign VIPs for leaf nodes and no VIP was specified in the command.
D. It succeeds because no VIP specification is required for leaf nodes and none need to be specified for hub nodes when using full featured GNS.
Correct Answer: A
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
Hub Nodes always have VIPs.
Incorrect Answers:
C: Hub Nodes always have VIPs but Leaf Nodes may not.
B: Use the CLUSTER_NEW_NODE_ROLES parameter to indicate, in an Oracle Flex Cluster, whether the node you are adding is a Hub Node or a Leaf Node.
You can add multiple nodes, as follows:

$ addnode.sh -silent -noCopy ORACLE_HOME=Grid_home "CLUSTER_NEW_NODES={node2,node3,node4}"
"CLUSTER_NEW_VIRTUAL_HOSTNAMES={node2-vip,node3-vip,}"
"CLUSTER_NEW_NODE_ROLES={HUB,HUB,LEAF}"
In the preceding syntax example, Node 4 is designated as a Leaf Node and does not require that a VIP be included.

QUESTION 57
Which two actions are performed by installing the Oracle 12c Preinstall RPM on Oracle Linux?
A. It creates the grid user if not already defined.

B. It modifies the /etc/sysctl.conf Linux file.
C. It installs kernel modules required for the ASM Cluster File System (ACFS).
D. It installs the OpenSSH client package.
E. It creates the oinstall group if not already defined.
Correct Answer: BE
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
When installed, the Oracle Preinstallation RPM does the following:
As needed, sets sysctl.conf settings, system startup parameters, and driver parameters to values based on recommendations from the Oracle Preinstallation
RPM program
Creates an oracle user, and creates the oraInventory (oinstall) and OSDBA (dba) groups for that user
Automatically downloads and installs any additional RPM packages needed for installing Oracle Grid Infrastructure and Oracle Database, and resolves any
dependencies
Sets hard and soft resource limits
Sets other recommended parameters, depending on your kernel version
Note: The Oracle RPMs for your Oracle Linux distributions and Oracle RDBMS releases automatically install any additional packages needed for installing Oracle
Grid Infrastructure and Oracle Database, and configure your server operating system automatically, including setting kernel parameters and other basic operating
system requirements for installation.

QUESTION 58
Which three statements are true about Oracle Clusterware components, architecture, and behavior?
A. The Cluster Ready Services Daemon (CRSD) is responsible for monitoring and maintaining the availability of cluster resources defined in the Oracle Local
Repository file (OLR).
B. All cluster nodes can write or read from the Oracle Clusterware Repository (OCR) file at the same time.
C. The Oracle High Availability Services Daemon (OHASD) is responsible for monitoring and maintaining the availability of the Clusterware stack on a cluster node.
D. Voting disks stored in Automatic Storage Management (ASM) can be discovered or used even if the ASM instance on a cluster node is down.
E. The Cluster Synchronization Services Daemon (CSSD) must connect to the cluster by accessing the Oracle Clusterware Repository (OCR) file before the Oracle
High Availability Services Daemon (OHASD) is started.
F. Time synchronization in an Oracle Cluster is possible without using network Time Protocol (NTP).
Correct Answer: CDF

Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
F: To activate CTSS in your cluster, you must stop and deconfigure the vendor time synchronization service on all nodes in the cluster. CTSS detects when this
happens and assumes time management for the cluster.
For example, to deconfigure NTP, you must remove or rename the ntp.conf file.
Incorrect Answers:
A: The CRS daemon (crsd) manages cluster resources based on the configuration information that is stored in OCR, not the OLR, for each resource.
B: You must update OCR through supported utilities such as Oracle Enterprise Manager, the Oracle Clusterware Control Utility (CRSCTL), the Server Control Utility
(SRVCTL), the OCR configuration utility (OCRCONFIG), or the Database Configuration Assistant (DBCA)
E: Please refer to the cluster startup picture below.

QUESTION 59
Which two statements are true regarding the configuration of ASM disk groups when installing Oracle Grid Infrastructure 12c?
A. The installer permits the creation of a disk group for use by the voting disks and OCR file.
B. If no ASM disk groups are specified during installation, then ASM instances are not started after the installation completes on any cluster node.
C. The installer permits the creation of a disk group to be used for the Recovery Area for the ASM instance.
D. If ASM disk groups are configured for the Clusterware files, then ASM must be used for all databases on the cluster.
E. ASM disk groups used for voting files and OCR files require a quorum failgroup.
Correct Answer: AB
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
You can store Oracle Cluster Registry (OCR) and voting files in Oracle ASM disk groups.
Incorrect Answers:
D: If you install Oracle Database or Oracle RAC after you install Oracle Grid Infrastructure, then you can either use the same disk group for database files, OCR,
and voting files, or you can use different disk groups. If you create multiple disk groups before installing Oracle RAC or before creating a database, then you can do
one of the following:
Place the data files in the same disk group as the Oracle Clusterware files.
Use the same Oracle ASM disk group for data files and recovery files.
Use different disk groups for each file type.

QUESTION 60
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
Correct Answer: BDE
Section: (none)
Explanation
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 domain on the DNS to be resolved through the GNS subdomain. Automatic configuration occurs
in one of the following ways:
For IPv4 addresses, Oracle Clusterware assigns unique identifiers for each cluster member node interface allocated for Oracle Grid Infrastructure, and
generates names using these identifiers within the subdomain delegated to GNS. A DHCP server assigns addresses to these interfaces, and GNS maintains
address and name associations with the IPv4 addresses leased from the IPv4 DHCP pool.
For IPv6 addresses, Oracle Clusterware automatically generates addresses with autoconfig.

QUESTION 61
Which three statements are true about displaying the location of voting files, OCR files, or OLR files in Oracle Clusterware 12c on a UNIX system?
A. Use cat /etc/oracle/ocr.loc to view the location of the OCR if stored in ASM.
B. Use ocrcheck command to view the location of the OCR only if stored in a file system.
C. Use crsctl querry votedisk to view the location of voting files if stored in ASM.
D. Use the ls command in the asmcmd utility to view the location of voting files if stored in ASM.
E. Use crsctl query votedisk to view the location of voting files if stored in a file system.
F. Use cat /etc/oracle/olr.loc to view the location of the OCR and OLR if stored on a file system.
Correct Answer: BEF

Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
B: The OCRCHECK utility displays the version of the OCR's block format, total space available and used space, OCRID, and the OCR locations that you have
configured
Use the ocrconfig -add command to add an OCR location to a shared file system or Oracle Automatic Storage Management (Oracle ASM) disk group.
Note: The example shows using the ocrcheck -config -details command to obtain the location of OCR in an Oracle ASM disk group.
Using OCRCHECK to Obtain OCR Information:

$ ocrcheck -config -details
Oracle Cluster Registry configuration is :

Device/File Name : +ocrvd11/mjk_1/OCRFILE/registry.255.842574113
Device/File Name : +ocrdv2/mjk_1/OCRFILE/registry.255.842574125
E: To determine the current voting disk by issuing the following command:

crsctl query votedisk css
F: The olr.loc file consists of the OLR config file location and the crs_home location.
$ cat olr.loc
olrconfig_loc=/u01/app/oracle/grid/11.2.0/cdata/<hostname>.olr
crs_home=/u01/app/oracle/grid/11.2.0
So, by default the location is olrconfig_loc =<GRID_HOME>/cdata/<hostname>.olr.

QUESTION 62
Which two Operating System users and groups must be created on each node before installing Oracle Grid Infrastructure 12c?
A. an O/S user to own the Clusterware installation and a different O/S user to own the Automatic Storage Management (ASM) installation
B. an O/S group to own the software inventory
C. an O/S user to own the Oracle Database installation
D. an O/S group called dba
E. a group to own the ASMLIB-provisioned storage
F. a group to own Automatic-Storage Management (ASM) Filter Driver-provisioned storage
Correct Answer: BD
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
B: Creating the Oracle Inventory Group If an Oracle Inventory Does Not Exist
If the oraInst.loc file does not exist, then create the Oracle Inventory group by entering a command similar to the following:
# /usr/sbin/groupadd -g 54321 oinstall
The preceding command creates the oraInventory group oinstall, with the group ID number 54321. Members of the oraInventory group are granted privileges to
write to the Oracle central inventory (oraInventory), and other system privileges for Oracle installation owner users.
D: Oracle recommends that you create one software owner to own each Oracle software product (typically, oracle, for the database software owner user, and grid
for Oracle Grid Infrastructure).
Incorrect Answers:
A: During an Oracle Grid Infrastructure installation, both Oracle Clusterware and Oracle Automatic Storage Management (Oracle ASM) are installed. You no longer
can have separate Oracle Clusterware installation owners and Oracle ASM installation owners.

Explanation:
D: The cssdagent and cssdmonitor provide the following services to guarantee data integrity:
Monitors the CSS daemon; if the CSS daemon stops, then it shuts down the node
Monitors the node scheduling to verify that the node is not hung, and shuts down the node on recovery from a hang.
Note If the Oracle Clusterware itself is working perfectly but one of the RAC instances is hanging , the database LMON process will request a member kill
escalation and ask the CSS process to remove the hanging database instance from the cluster.
On a Linux/Unix system CSS consists of ocssd.bin, cssdmonitor, and cssdagent.
E: Cluster kill daemon (oclskd) handles instance/node evictions requests that have been escalated to the Cluster Synchronization Service (CSS).
Incorrect Answers:
C: Ocssd manages cluster node membership and runs as the oracle user; failure of this process results in a node restart.
QUESTION 75
Which three statements are true about Server Categorization in Oracle 12c Clusterware?
A. All server attributes that may be used to determine the server category are discovered automatically by Oracle Clusterware.
B. Different Hub nodes in a flex cluster may belong to separate administrator-defined categories.
C. All hub nodes in a flex cluster belong to the same Oracle-supplied category.
D. A server may be added to only one category using the crsctl utility.
E. All leaf nodes in a flex cluster belong to the same Oracle-supplied category.
F. All server attributes used for categorization are administrator modifiable.
Correct Answer: CEF

Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
CE: The SERVER_CATEGORY is the name of a registered server category, used as part of server categorization. Oracle Clusterware standard Clusters and
Oracle Flex Clusters have default categories of hub and leaf.
F: Server Category Attributes

You define servers into named categories, and assign attributes that define servers as members of that category. Some attributes that you can use to define
members of a category describe the state conditions for the server, and others describe the physical characteristics of the server. You can also create your own
characteristics to define servers as members of a particular category.
QUESTION 76
When using Oracle 12 Clusterware, which two actions are required to repair the ocr.loc file on host01 in a cluster having three other nodes called host02, host03,
and host04?
A. Run ocr.config repair on another node in the cluster to repair the ocr.loc file on host01
B. Stop the clusterware stack on host01 only.
C. Stop the clusterware stack on all cluster nodes.
D. Run ocrconfig repair on host01.
E. Stop the clusterware stack on host01 and on the node used to issue the ocrconfig repair command.
Correct Answer: BD
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
B: You cannot repair the OCR configuration on a node on which the Oracle Cluster Ready Services daemon is running.
D: When you repair OCR on a stopped node using ocrconfig -repair, you must provide the same OCR file name (which should be case-sensitive) as the OCR file
names on other nodes.

QUESTION 77
Which two methods exist for enabling the collection of additional resource debugging information for specific resources controlled by Oracle 12c Clusterware?
A. Use the cluvfy comp command for the specific resource within a component.
B. Use the crsctl set trace res resource_name=debugging_level command.
C. Use the crsctl set log res resource_name=debugging_level command.
D. Set the environment variable _USA_ORA_DEBUG=1 and then stop and restart the resource that requires resource debugging data to be collected.
Correct Answer: BC
Section: (none)
Explanation
Explanation:
B: You can enable tracing for Oracle Clusterware resources by running the crsctl set trace command, using the following syntax:
crsctl set trace module_name "component_name=tracing_level,..."
C: The crsctl syntax to enable debugging for resources is:

crsctl debug log res "resname:1"
Incorrect Answers:
A: Cluster Verification Utility (CVU) performs system checks in preparation for installation, patch updates, or other system changes. Using CVU ensures that you
have completed the required system configuration and preinstallation steps so that your Oracle Grid Infrastructure or Oracle Real Application Clusters (Oracle RAC)
installation, update, or patch operation, completes successfully.
D: There is no USA_ORA_DEBUG environment variable.
