Exadata Database Machine offers an Intelligent Platform Management Interface for the various
components in the Exadata product. Which option is true?
A. IPMI can be used to remotely start and stop servers.

B. IPMI can be used to remotely log in to the operating system.
C. IPMI commands can be executed by using SNMP traps.
D. IPMI settings can be secured by backing up the Oracle Linux installation on the storage system.
Answer: A
Explanation: 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

QUESTION NO: 3
A customer has three databases named CC. FIN, and DW. The CC database is for their
CallCenter. Even a slight decrease in the response time of the database would mean more people
"on hold" in their data center. The orders received through the CallCenter are stored in the
Finance (FIN) database. Both databases, CC and FIN, serve as sources for the Data Warehouse
(DW) database. All databases use the same Automatic Storage Management (ASM) diskgroup
and therefore, the same physical disks on Exadata storage. The customer wants to dynamically
control the resources that are available for the CallCenter database because this has direct impact
on their operations?
Which option should be implemented?
A. DBRM on the CC database

B. DBRM on all the databases
C. IORM, because DBRM cannot be changed for an existing session
D. IORM and DBRM
Answer: B
Explanation: Using the Database Resource Manager, you can:
Distribute available processing resources by allocating percentages of CPU time to different users
and applications. In a data warehouse, a higher percentage may be given to ROLAP (relational
on-line analytical processing) applications than to batch jobs.

Consider this CellCLI command:
CellCLI> CREATE GRIDDISK ALL HARDDISK PREFIX=data, size=423G;
Which two statements describe what happens when you execute this command?
A. It creates one 423 GB grid disk on the first available cell hard disk.
B. It creates one 423 GB grid disk on each available cell hard disk.
C. It creates grid disks on the outermost 423 GB that is available on each hard disk.
D. It creates grid disks on the innermost 423 GB that is available on each hard disk.
E. It creates an Exadata Smart Flash Cache on all flash drives.
Answer: B,C
Explanation: * Example:
CellCLI> create griddisk all harddisk prefix=temp_dg, size=570G
This command will create 12 Griddisks, each of 570G in size from the outer (fastest) sectors of the
underlying Harddisks. It fills up the first 2 Celldisks entirely, because they have just 570G space
free – the rest is already consumed by the OS partition.

QUESTION NO: 11
Which two attributes describe key benefits of the InfiniBand network?
A. All Exadata database servers have a direct path link to each Exadata Storage Server.
B. Cell-to-cell communication uses Reliable Datagram Sockets (RDS) over InfiniBand to achieve
low latency.
C. Expanding from two Full racks to four only requires adding an external InfiniBand switch to be
at the top of the fat-tree topology.
D. Each InfiniBand link provides 10 Gigabits of bandwidth.
E. Oracle's interconnect protocol uses direct memory access (DMA) to eliminate buffer copies and
reduce CPU use.
Answer: C,E
Explanation: C: Oracle Exadata is architected to scale-out to any level of performance. To
achieve higher performance and greater storage capacity, additional database servers and
Exadata cells are added to the configuration – e.g., Half Rack to Full Rack upgrade. As more
Exadata cells are added to the configuration, storage capacity and I/O performance increases
near linearly.
E: Oracle's interconnect protocol uses direct data placement (DMA – direct memory access) to
ensure very low CPU overhead by directly moving data from the wire to database buffers with no
extra data copies being made. The InfiniBand network has the flexibility of a LAN network, with the
efficiency of a SAN.
Incorrect:
Not A: The architecture of the Exadata solution includes components on the database server and
in the Exadata cell. The software architecture for a Quarter Rack configuration is shown below.

Oracle 1z0-485 Exam
Not B: No cell-to-cell communication is ever done or required in an Exadata configuration.

Not D: Each InfiniBand link provides 40 Gigabits of bandwidth –
QUESTION NO: 12
Identify three Exadata Storage Server software processes and their purpose?
A. CELLSRV: The Cell Server is responsible for servicing disk I/O and predicate processing
offload.
B. CELLSRV: The Cell Server is responsible for balancing workload to other storage servers.
C. MS: The Management Server is responsible for storage cell management and configuration.
D. MS: The Management Server is responsible for starting a local Enterprise Manager agent.
E. RS: The Restart Server is responsible for Automatic Storage Management (ASM) instance
restart.
F. RS: The Restart Server is responsible for CELLSRV and MS monitoring and restart.
Answer: A,C,F
Explanation: A: CELLSRV (Cell Services) is the primary component of the Exadata software
running in the cell
and provides the majority of Exadata storage services. CELLSRV is multi-threaded software that
communicates with the database instance on the database server, and serves blocks to
databases
based on the iDB protocol. It provides the advanced SQL offload capabilities, serves Oracle
blocks when SQL offload processing is not possible, and implements the DBRM I/O resource
management functionality to meter out I/O bandwidth to the various databases and consumer
groups issuing I/O.
C: The MS is the primary interface to administer, manage and query the
status of the Exadata cell. It works in cooperation with the Exadata cell command line interface
(CLI) and EM Exadata plug-in, and provides standalone Exadata cell management and
configuration. For example, from the cell, CLI commands are issued to configure storage, query
I/O statistics and restart the cell. Also supplied is a distributed CLI so commands can be sent to
multiple cells to ease management across cells.
F: Restart Server (RS) ensures the ongoing
functioning of the Exadata software and services. It is used to update the Exadata software. It
also ensures storage services are started and running, and services are restarted when required.

QUESTION NO: 13
Which two statements are true about troubleshooting failed patching activities?
A. Dependency issues found during yum updates require rolling back to a previous release before
retrying.
B. Bundle patches applied using opatch auto cannot roll back only the database or the grid
infrastructure home.
C. Failed OS patches on database servers can be rolled back.
D. Failed storage cell patches are rolled back to the previous release automatically.
E. Database server OS updates can be rolled back using opatch auto -rollback.
F. Dependency issues found during yum updates should be ignored using the force option.
Answer: A,E
Explanation: * Oracle has shifted the strategy to patching the exadata in 11.2.3.2.0 onwards to
using Yum as the method of patching.
* Database servers are patched using yum; there is a yum channel for each Exadata image
version. Recently, this functionality replaced the “minimal pack.”
* In the README for each storage server patch, Oracle provides detailed rollback instructions that
are to be followed in the event of a patch failure.
QUESTION NO: 14
Which two DML operations will add rows compressed by Hybrid Columnar Compression (HCC) to
a table that is created to use HCC?
A. INSERT
B. insert with an append hint
C. UPDATE
D. CREATE TABLE AS SELECT
Answer: B,D
Explanation: To maximize storage savings with Hybrid Columnar Compression, data must be
loaded using data warehouse bulk loading techniques. Examples of bulk load operations
commonly used in data warehouse environments are:
* Insert statements with the APPEND hint
* Parallel DML
* Direct Path SQL*LDR
* Create Table as Select (CTAS)

Oracle 1z0-485 Exam
Incorrect:
Not A, Not C: DML operations (INSERT/UPDATE) against a Hybrid Columnar Compressed
table/partition can reduce the overall compression savings over time since data
INSERTED/UPDATED via DML operations will not be compressed to the same ratio as data that
is bulk loaded.
QUESTION NO: 15
Your customer wants to increase the size of the DATA diskgroup on the Exadata systems. The
customer is currently using 600 GB disks. Which two are the best options that you would
recommend?
A. adding a High Capacity Storage expansion rack

B. expanding the Exadata rack from a Half Rack to a Full Rack
C. moving underutilized grid disks from the RECO diskgroup to DATA
D. adding a ZFS storage appliance
E. adding a High Performance Storage expansion rack
Answer: A,B
Explanation: A: Oracle Exadata Storage Expansion Rack X4-2 enables you to grow the Oracle
Exadata storage capacity and bandwidth of Oracle Exadata Database Machine X4-2 and X3-8 and
Oracle SuperCluster. It is designed for database deployments that require very large amounts of
data, including historical or archive data; backups and archives of Oracle Exadata Database
Machine data; documents; images; file and XML data; LOB's; and other large unstructured data.
QUESTION NO: 16
What are two choices that a customer must make that impact diskgroup creation?
A. What is the level of redundancy required?

B. What OS will be run?
C. Where will disk backups be written?
D. How many databases will run on the cluster?
Answer: A,B
Explanation: B: There are a number of ASM disk group attributes that you can set when creating

Oracle 1z0-485 Exam
your disk groups, but the following
are the most important:
* (B) compatible.rdms: Set this to the software version of your RDBMS home.
* au_size: Set this to 4 MB.
* compatible.asm: Set this to the software version of your Grid Infrastructure home.
* cell.smart_scan_capable: Set this to TRUE. If this attribute is set to FALSE, Smart Scan will be
disabled to segments that reside in the disk group.
* disk_repair_time: Leave this defaulted to 3.6 hours unless you’re performing maintenance
on a call and know that your outage window will be greater than 3.6 hours.
A:
Once you identify candidate grid disks, use the CREATE DISKGROUP command to create your
ASM disk groups.
Here are some of the more important considerations to think about when creating ASM disk
groups on Exadata:
* (A) When capacity planning, take your redundancy specification into consideration. Normal
redundancy will have the effect of reducing your usable storage to half the raw capacity, and
high redundancy will shrink it to a third of your raw disk capacity.
* Simplicity is best on Exadata. Using wild-carded CREATE DISKGROUP syntax not only offers
the most terse command syntax, but also ensures your ASM disk groups are spread evenly across
your Exadata Storage Server disks.
* Take the time to plan grid disk prefix names and overall grid disk configuration in the context
of your desired ASM disk group design.
* Make sure to set the appropriate compatible.asm and compatible.rdbms attributes when
creating ASM disk groups.
* Whenever possible, use a 4 MB extent size when creating disk groups on ASM storage.

Your customer is hesitant to install the Oracle Configuration Manager in their environment. Give
them three ways in which it will benefit their Exsdata Database Machine support experience and
potentially resolve some of the issues they are having with the length of time it is taking Oracle to
process their Exadata Service Requests (SRs).
A. Host information can be gathered and sent to Oracle for license compliance.
B. Potential issues can be addressed before they impact operations.
C. Priority handling can be extended for SRs, with attached configuration.
D. Exadata patching cannot be done successfully without the Oracle Configuration Manager.
E. Root cause analysis can be accelerated.
Answer: B,C,E
Explanation: Oracle Configuration Manager is used to personalize the support experience by
collecting configuration information and uploading it to the Oracle repository.
When customer configuration data is uploaded on a regular basis, customer support
representatives can analyze this data and provide better service to the customers. For example,
when a customer logs a service request, he can associate the configuration data directly with that
service request (C). The customer support representative can then view the list of systems
associated with the customer and solve problems accordingly.
Some of the benefits of using Oracle Configuration Manager are as follows:

/ Reduces time for resolution of support issues (E)
/ Provides pro-active problem avoidance (B)
/ Improves access to best practices and the Oracle knowledge base
/ Improves understanding of customer's business needs and provides consistent responses and
services
QUESTION NO: 23
Which Exadata feature eliminates unnecessary data transfers between database nodes and
storage?
A. database views

Oracle 1z0-485 Exam
B. InfiniBand networking
C. Flash Cache
D. high performance SAS2 disk drives
E. cell offloading
Answer: C
Explanation: The Exadata Smart Flash Cache feature of the Exadata Storage Server Software
intelligently caches database objects in flash memory, replacing slow, mechanical I/O operations
to disk with very rapid flash memory operations. .
QUESTION NO: 24
In looking to improve query performance for your Data Warehouse, select the best way that
Exadata's Flash Cache feature can be leveraged?
A. Enable Smart Flash Log.

B. Execute alter table … cell_flash_cache=keep on heavily scanned tables.
C. Enable Write Back Flash Cache.
D. Create an ASM diskgroup on Flash Cache and move the indexes from disk to Flash.
Answer: B
Explanation: In earlier releases, database administrators had to mark an object as KEEP to have
it cached in flash cache for large scan workloads. This feature primarily benefits table scan
intensive workloads such as Data Warehouses and Data Marts. Random I/Os such as those
performed for Online Transactional Processing (OLTP)
continue to be cached in the flash cache the same way as in earlier releases.
Note: With the Exadata Storage Server Software 11.2.3.3.0 and above, the Exadata Smart Flash
Cache
software automatically caches objects read, in large table scans, in the flash cache based on how
frequently the objects are read. Previously, the default behavior was to bypass the flash cache for
such large sequential scans.
QUESTION NO: 25
Identify the three values to which the cell_flash_cache attribute can be set.
A. read
B. WRITE

Oracle 1z0-485 Exam
C. KEEP
D. DEFAULT
E. NONE
Answer: C,D,E
Explanation: There are three values the CELL_FLASH_CACHE attribute can be set to.
DEFAULT specifies
the cache used for a DEFAULT object is automatically managed as described in the previous
section. NONE specifies that the object will never be cached. KEEP specifies the object should
be kept in cache.
Note: The CELL_FLASH_CACHE can be assigned to a database table, index, partition and LOB
column.
QUESTION NO: 26
High-disk IOPS (I/Os per second) rates are leading to longer execution times.
Which three approaches would you use to improve this scenario?
A. Enable Write-Back Flash Cache due to heavy DBWR usage.

B. Enable Write-Back Flash Cache due to heavy LGWR usage.
C. Swap hard disks to High Capacity disks.
D. Tune the application to reduce I/O requests.
E. Leverage IORM to give priority to critical workloads.
Answer: B,D,E
Explanation: B (not A): Smart Flash Logging is a recent Exadata enhancement that provides
physical disk redo write relief in times of high LGWR activity; alone, probably not a driver for
Exadata.
QUESTION NO: 27
When should you use Hybrid Columnar Compression?
A. always
B. on large active tables where deeper compression is desired
C. on tables or partitions that have fairly static data
D. on every table where Advanced Compression is not used

Explanation: It is recommended that HCC be enabled on tables or partitions with no or infrequent
DML operations
QUESTION NO: 28
When an Exadata Storage Server hard disk failure alert is received, what manual action must you
take to restore the system to full redundancy?
A. Replace the disk and run MegaCLI to rebuild the degenerate mirror.
B. No manual action is required because Automatic Storage Management (ASM) fast mirror
resync is automatic
C. No manual action is required because ASM rebalancing is automatic.
D. Replace the disk and manually copy the mirror extents to the new drive.
E. Run RMAN REPAIR FAILURE.
Answer: C
Explanation: As soon as the Hard Disk failure is noticed by the MS (Management Server)
background process on the Cell, it will raise an alert that will also be published to Grid Control, if
configured. Immediately, due to Pro-Active Disk Quarantine, the ASM-, Grid- and Celldisks get
dropped. ASM rebalancing is triggered. You as the responsible Admin notice the alert and order a
replacement Disk resp. use a Spare Disk to plug it into the Cell after you plugged out the damaged
one. The Cell can stay online, because the Hard Disks are hot-pluggable.
No further administrative work to be done, typically.
QUESTION NO: 29
You are concerned about how to recover from a failed Exadata Storage Server. What is the best
way to recover from a storage cell failure when content in both system disks is lost?
A. Database Machine Administrators should be prepared by creating a backup using

Oracle 1z0-485 Exam
F. Re-imaging the cell is the only option.
Answer: E
Explanation: Recovering Storage Cells from Loss of a System Volume Using CELLBOOT
Rescue
Problem
You have either corrupted your system volume images or suffered from simultaneous loss of the
first two disk drives in your Exadata storage cell, and you wish to use the internal CELLBOOT
USB drive to recover from failure.
Solution
At a high level, these are the steps you should take:
* Understand the scope of the failure
* Contact Oracle Support and open a Service Request
* Boot your system from the internal CELLBOOT USB image
* Recover your storage cell using the cell rescue procedure
* Perform post-recovery steps and validation

•cell physical IO bytes saved by storage index',
•cell physical IO interconnect bytes returned by smart scan') order by 1;
Statistic Value (MB)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------
cell physical IO bytes eligible for predicate offload 2,255 .09
cell physical IO bytes saved by storage index .00
cell physical IO interconnect bytes 1.72
cell physical IO interconnect bytes returned by smart scan 1.68
A. The storage indexes were disabled using the disable_storage_INDEX Parameter.

B. Storage Index data is not on the Cell Server's region index memory structures yet because this
predicate has not been used.
C. Since the database was started, no quires were run against this table with the same predicate.
D. The storage indexes reduced the amount of physical I/O bytes significantly for this query.
Answer: B,C
Explanation: * cell physical I/O bytes eligible for predicate offload
Number of bytes eligible for predicate offload, an indication of smart scan
* (not D) cell physical I/O bytes saved by storage index
Here 0.
Number of bytes saved by a storage index; this is a reflection of how
many physical disk I/O bytes (and by proxy, requests) were saved
due to a storage index eliminating candidate blocks
QUESTION NO: 31
How does partition pruning, a 11gR2 database feature, help to improve performance on an
Exadata Database Machine?
A. Partition pruning allows you to reduce a 5 TB I/O operation to a much smaller I/O operation and
therefore, enables a much faster return of information.
B. Using partition pruning can force the optimizer to use that method instead of Smart Scan.
Partitioning in Exadata should be used wisely,
C. Partition pruning is not a supported option in the 11gR2 database code that runs on an Exadata
Machine, due to issues with Cost Based Optimizer plans.

Oracle 1z0-485 Exam
D. Partition pruning allows you to reduce the size of the physical table by reducing fragmentation
within the individual tables.
E. Partition pruning allows you to reduce a 5 TB I/O operation to a larger I/O operation and
therefore, forces the use of the Smart Scan technology.
Answer: A
Explanation: Partition pruning allows you to reduce a 5TB I/O operation to a much smaller I/O
operation and therefore much faster return of the information.

QUESTION NO: 33
Which is a best practice for High Availability (HA) in an Exadata environment?
A. Checksums performed on the Exadata Storage Server ensure logical consistency of block
content.
B. When a standby database is in place, DB_BLOCK_CHECKING is not required and thus not
recommended.
C. Oracle Exadata Storage Server Software HARD checks operate transparently after enabling
DB_BLOCK_CHECKSUM on a database.
D. Due to the different architecture that Exadata has with storage servers, compared to regular
Storage Area Network, DB_LOST_WRITE_PROTECT need not be set.
E. Stretched RAC is the best alternative for Exadata that combines both HA and DR into one.
Answer: C
Explanation: Exadata storage cells include Oracle Hardware Assisted Resilient Data (HARD) to
provide a
unique level of validation for Oracle block data structures such as data block address, checksum.
and magic numbers prior to allowing a write to physical disks. HARD validation with Exadata is
automatic (setting DB_BLOCK_CHECKSUM is required to enable checksum validation). The
HARD checks transparently handle all cases including Oracle ASM disk rebalance operations and
disk failures.
Incorrect:

Oracle 1z0-485 Exam
Not A: The checksum is used to validate that a block is not physically corrupt, detecting
corruptions caused by underlying disks, storage systems, or I/O systems. Checksums do not
ensure logical consistency of the block contents.
Not B: MAA recommends that you set DB_BLOCK_CHECKING=MEDIUM or FULL on the
physical standby as a minimum practice to prevent the standby from various logical block
corruptions.
Not D: The recommendation is:
On the primary database: DB_LOST_WRITE_PROTECT=TYPICAL (default TYPICAL on
Exadata) On the Data Guard Physical Standby Database:
DB_LOST_WRITE_PROTECT=TYPICAL Not E: Protection from a broad range of, but not all
disasters
While not a full disaster recovery (DR) solution, an Extended Distance
Oracle RAC or Oracle RAC One Node deployment will provide protection from a broad range of
disasters. For a full DR protection Oracle recommends deploying an Oracle RAC together with a
local and a remote Oracle Data Guard setup as described in the Maximum Availability Architecture
(MAA).

QUESTION NO: 38
Storage indexes are unique to the Exadata Database Machine and their primary goal is to reduce
the amount of I/O required to service I/O requests for Exadata Smart Scan. Put the following steps
in order:
1. The Exadata cell services software conducts I/O requests on I MO storage regions.
2. cellsrv checks the high and low values, and determines the storage region does not contain
any values meeting the predicate.
3. The database is started.
4. Physical I/O to the region is bypassed if the query selection falls outside the high/low storage
index storage.
5. A query is issued against the MYOBJ_CTRL table that has a predicate OBJECT_ID=1500.
6. A subsequent query is Issued against the MYOBJ_CTRL table that has a predicate
OBJECT_ID=2234.
7. MYOBJ_STATE’S region index is populated with high and low values for the OBJECT_ID
column during the I/O request.
A. 3. 7, 5, 2, 1, 6, and 4
B. 3, 7, 1, 5, 6, 2, and 4
C. 3, 6, 1. 7, 2, 5 and 4
D. 3, 5, 1, 7, 6, 2. and 4
Answer: D
Explanation: 3. The database is started.
5. A query is issued against the MYOBJ_CTRL table that has a predicate OBJECT_ID=1500.
1. The Exadata cell services software conducts I/O requests on I MO storage regions.
7. MYOBJ_STATE’S region index is populated with high and low values for the OBJECT_ID
column during the I/O request.
6. A subsequent query is Issued against the MYOBJ_CTRL table that has a predicate
OBJECT_ID=2234.
2. cellsrv checks the high and low values, and determines the storage region does not contain any
values meeting the predicate.
4. Physical I/O to the region is bypassed if the query selection falls outside the high/low storage
index storage.
Note: Example:
Step 1 (step 5 in answer): The first time that each cell’s cell services software issued an I/O

Oracle 1z0-485 Exam
request to access extents
from the D14.MYOBJ_UNCOMP table, Exadata populated a region index for each storage
index with the high and low values found for the OBJECT_ID column, based on the WHERE
OBJECT_ID BETWEEN 100 AND 200 query predicate.
Step 2 (step 6 in answer) : Subsequent queries against this table generated an iDB message
instructing Exadata’s
cell services software to read the same sets of extents as the first query, but in this case the
region indexes would have been populated based on the I/Os read from the first query.
Step 3: (step 2 in answer) Prior to issuing a physical disk read, cellsrv checks the high and low
values stored in the
region index and if it determines that a storage region does not contain any values meeting
the query predicate, bypasses the physical I/O to the region.

You are concerned about how recovery from a failed Exadata Storage Server would work. Which
statement is true about the Exadata CELLBOOT USB?
A. Exadata automatically copies OS binaries and configuration files from another cell during
patching to sync the internal USB.
B. Regular Exadata Storage Server patches make sure that the internal USB is updated so that it
can be used for recovery.
C. Changes to network configuration files are possible without using ipconf.pl as long as all
relevant files are updated.
D. Some space from the CELLBOOT USB is used for cache metadata when write back flash
cache is enabled.
E. Each patch that is performed on Exadata storage servers requires manual resync of the
CELLBOOT USB.
Answer: A,C
Explanation: A (not B, not E): Oracle automatically performs backups of the operating system and
cell software on each Exadata Storage Server. The contents of the system volumes are
automatically backed up and require no Oracle DMA intervention or operational processes. Oracle
assumes responsibility for backing up the critical files of the storage cells to an internal USB drive
called the CELLBOOT USB Flash Drive.

Which statement is true about instance caging setup?
A. Instance caging is the right approach to make sure that database instances are not stealing
memory from each other.
B. The CPU Resource Manager and IORM need to be enabled to make instance caging to work
as expected.
C. Database instances need to be restarted to make changes to cpu_count effective.
D. For a system with 16 threads, the sum of cpu_count for all databases should not be higher than
32 to prevent oversubscribing
E. The init.org parameter resource_manager_plan should be set.
Answer: D
Explanation: * In 11.2G there is new option called “Instance Caging” which enables to limit
number of CPUs which can be seen/used by a database.
* Enabling Instance Caging
1. Manually set dynamic parameter cpu_count on instance level. As default this parameter is set to
maximum number of cpu available on a hosts.
alter system set cpu_count=2;

2. Enable any resource manager plan that manages CPU. Most easy is to turn on default Oracle
plan DEFAULT_PLAN.
alter system set resource_manager_plan=DEFAULT_PLAN;

* Provisioning CPU
There are generally 2 ways to distribute your CPU between databases
Partitioning – sum of all CPUs assigned to all your databases equals number of CPUs on a host.
Databases don’t interfere with each other.
Over-provisioning – sum of all CPUs assigned to all your databases is higher that number of CPUs
on a host. Databases can impact on each other performance.

Which three statements are true about Automatic Degree of Parallelism (Auto DOP) on Exadata?

Oracle 1z0-485 Exam
A. Auto DOP is an exclusive feature in Exadata, which allows the database optimizer to evaluate
each statement and run it in parallel without special hints.
B. Auto DOP is disabled by default and must be enabled before SQL statements can take
advantage of its features.
C. Auto DOP is enabled by default on Oracle 11gR2, allowing full use of its features.
D. Oracle's Auto DOP algorithms calculate the Degree of Parallelism based on the table's block
counts.
E. SQL statements that take advantage of Auto DOP am be identified by using data from Oracle
Automatic Workload Repository (AWR) or Enterprise Manager's Monitored SQL Executions page.
Answer: B,D,E
Explanation: B (not c): To enable the features in 11g Release 2, use the parallel_degree_policy
parameter (by default this stuff is off - parameter is set to manual). For Auto DOP, setting this to
limited is sufficient. If you want more functionality (in-memory parallel processing and parallel
statement queuing parallel_degree_policy should be set to auto).
Incorrect:
Not A:
* What if you don’t have Exadata? Chances are that if your system is large enough to warrant Auto
DOP, it is similar enough to Exadata to behave nicely with this number.
* Auto DOP is only useful in systems with enough CPUs and disks to make concurrent parallel
processing feasible. It was designed mostly for Exadata, or for systems of similar size. 48 CPUs
and 84 disks sound like a nice start

Why is ASM High redundancy an important configuration choice when rolling Exadata Storage
Server patching is planned?

Oracle 1z0-485 Exam
A. High redundancy protects from partner disk failure while a cell is offline being updated.
B. High redundancy forces ASM rebalance before allowing disks to be taken offline.
C. High redundancy speeds up ASM fast mirror resync when a cell is brought back online after
patching.
D. Normal redundancy provides the same protection during rolling patching, so High redundancy
is not important in this case
Answer: A
Explanation: To ensure redundancy during a rolling upgrade of the Exadata Storage Server
Software, MAA recommends ASM high redundancy disk groups.

Which two statements are true about CellCLI?
A. Using a CellCLI command, you can change the SNMP subscribers or add multiple SNMP
subscribers.
B. Using CellCLI, you can stop and start the ASM instances that are using the grid disks on the
Exadata storage cell.
C. With a simple CellCLI command, you can synchronize changes to all the storage cells in the
Exadata realm.
D. Using a CellCLI command, you can see whether grid disks are being used by ASM or not.
E. You cannot use CellCLI to gather the serial numbers of physical disks.
Answer: B,D
Explanation: B:
* Making a grid disk inactive effectively offlines its associated ASM disk.
CellCLI> alter griddisk PRORECO_CD_11_cell01 inactive

GridDisk PRORECO_CD_11_cell01 successfully altered
* The command will wait until the ASM disk becomes offline. If you want the prompt to come back
immediately without waiting, you can use nowait clause.
CellCLI> alter griddisk PRORECO_CD_11_cell01 inactive nowait
You can make it active again:
CellCLI> alter griddisk PRORECO_CD_11_cell01 active

GridDisk PRORECO_CD_11_cell01 successfully altered

Identify two tasks that the Database Resource Manager can perform, which the I/O Resource
Manager cannot.
A. Manage I/O based on the application that is connected to the database.

B. Manage the number of parallel sessions for a query.
C. Manage I/O and CPU between databases on the same cluster or physical database host.
D. Terminate database sessions when certain limits have been reached.
E. Manage the throughput of an I/O-bound application based on the service name used for the
connection.
Answer: B,D
Explanation: IORM is similar to Oracle Database Resource Manager (DBRM) in that it provides a
means for controlling allocation of system resources. Where DBRM’s primary goals are to control
CPU resources, limit the degree of parallelism, and impose resource consumption constraints for
different types of sessions within an Oracle database, IORM’s goal is to govern I/O resource
allocations between databases on a shared storage infrastructure. When consolidating Oracle
databases on Exadata, IORM can be used to ensure that I/O is controlled between databases as
well as classifications of consumes that utilize the same ASM disk infrastructure and, as such,
provide resource control capabilities beyond what DBRM provides within a database.
/ Using the Database Resource Manager, you can:

* Guarantee certain users a minimum amount of processing resources regardless of the load on
the system and the number of users
* Distribute available processing resources by allocating percentages of CPU time to different
users and applications. In a data warehouse, a higher percentage may be given to ROLAP
(relational on-line analytical processing) applications than to batch jobs.

* Limit the degree of parallelism of any operation performed by members of a group of users

QUESTION NO: 68
Which three statements accurately describe update of software on Exadata Database Machine?
A. The Oracle Database patchset software (for example, 11.2.0.3) requires the Exadata-specific
version.
B. Rolling patching is faster than non-rolling patching, but database down time is longer.
C. The Oracle Database software on Exadata is updated using standard OPatch and the Oracle
Universal Installer.
D. Running Exadata with different storage server software versions is supported, but should be
minimized to rolling patching scenarios.
E. The database server operating system software (other than kernel and OFED) may be installed
or updated from non-Exadata sources
F. Storage server updates require access to an Unbreakable Linux Network (ULN) based
repository.
Answer: C,D,F
Explanation: C:
* Oracle offers two utilities for software deployment:
Oracle Universal Installer to install Oracle products
OPatch to apply interim patches
F: When storage cells are patched, there is almost always a set of storage server patches that
need to be applied to the Exadata Compute Nodes as well. Historically, these were called “minimal
packs,” but recent improvements to the compute node patching process deliver these updates
using yum channels on Oracle’s Unbreakable Linux Network (ULN).
Incorrect:
Not B: Rolling patching has no downtime.
QUESTION NO: 69
Which CellCLI command is used to conclude that a storage server can be taken offline without
impacting database availability?
A. LIST GRIDDISK ATTRIBUTES name, asmDeactivationOutcome;

Oracle 1z0-485 Exam
B. LIST CELLDISK ATTRIBUTES name, raidLevel;
C. LIST CELL ATTRIBUTES cellsrvStatus, flashCacheMode;
D. LIST CELLDISK ATTRIBUTES name, raidLevel, asmModeStatus;
E. LIST GRIDDISK ATTRIBUTES name, status;
Answer: A
Explanation: ASMDeactivationOutcome – recall that grid disks can be deactivated, which is
effectively taking them offline. Since ASM mirroring ensures that the data is located on another
disk, making this disk offline does not lose data. However, if the mirror is offline, or is not present,
then making this grid disk offline will result in loss of data. This attribute shows whether the grid
disk can be deactivated without loss of data. A value of “Yes” indicates you can deactivate this grid
disk without data loss.

What would be the best way to ensure that batch Jobs do not impact performance of online
queries that use the same database?
A. Configure IORM to disable Flash Cache usage for batch workload.

B. Build a Database Resource Management Plan, giving priority to query workload.
C. Deploy Instance Caging to control batch jobs.
D. Configure and enable Parallel Query.
E. Configure resource plans by using the I/O Resource Manager on the storage cells, giving
priority to query workload.
Answer: B
Explanation: Using the Database Resource Manager, you can distribute available processing
resources by allocating percentages of CPU time to different users and applications. In a data
warehouse, a higher percentage may be given to ROLAP (relational on-line analytical processing)
applications than to batch jobs.
Incorrect:
not C:
In addition to controlling I/O utilization on the Exadata storage cells, Oracle also allows you to limit
CPU resource utilization on the compute nodes using a technique called instance caging.

A. Based on the priority of the user

B. Immediately
C. Based on the resource group of the user
D. Based on the intradatabase resource plan
Answer: B
Explanation: Whenever a transaction is committed, the corresponding redo entries temporarily
stored in redo log buffers of the system global area are written to an online redo log file.
