Oracle Real Application Clusters 12c Essentials Sample Questions:
You are upgrading from an earlier version of Oracle Clusterware to Oracle Clusterware12cR1 and want to store the OCR in an Oracle ASM disk group.What are the correct steps required to accomplish this task?
- A. Set the ASM Compatibility attribute to 10.2.0.1 or later. Verify you are running the correct version of Oracle Clusterware 12cR1 by issuing $crsctl query crsactiveversion Using srvctl create a disk group appropriately sized for the OCR you are migrating to ASM. As root, issue #ocrcheck -add +DG_OCR As root, issue # ocrcheck --delete old_ocr_location
- B. Set the ASM Compatibility attribute to 10.2.0.2 or later. Verify you are running the correct version of Oracle Clusterware 12cR1 by issuing $crsctl query crsactiveversion Using acmca configure and start Oracle ASM on all cluster nodes. Using asmca create a disk group appropriately sized for the OCR you are migrating to ASM. As root, issue #ocrdump -add +DG_OCR As root, issue # ocrdump -delete old_ocr_location
- C. Set the ASMCompatibility attribute to 10.2.0.2 or later. Verify you are running the correct version of Oracle Clusterware 12cR1 by issuing $crsctl query crsactiveversion Using acmca configure and start Oracle ASM onallcluster nodes. Using asmca create a disk group appropriately sized for the OCR you are migrating to ASM. As root, issue #ocrcheck -add +DG_OCR As root, issue # ocrcheck-delete old_ocr_location
- D. Set the ASMCompatibilityattribute to 10.2.0.2 or later.

You have recently completed building an 8-node 12cR1 RACcluster, and you are now seeing a lot ofinstability,congestion, and network packet lossesinthe network.
Which two items related to theprivateinterconnect could have caused these issues?
- A. You have used crossover cables for the clusterinterconnect
- B. The connections between thecluster nodes for both public and private interfaces are using the sameswitch
- C. IP addresses allocated to theprivateinterconnect have beenspecifiedin/etc/hosts
- D. All the private interfaces used for the interconnects are being configured in separate subnets
Correct Answer: A,B 🗳️
Which statementaccurately describes the benefit of the policy-managed database feature with OracleRAC12cR1?
- A. Itprotects against cascade failures due to load.It ensures workload isolation between pools.Less important workloads shut down transactionally
- B. It protects against cascade failures due to load.It ensures workload isolation between pools. Less important workloads shut down and start uniformly.
- C. Itprotects against cascade failures due to network usage. It migratesworkload isolation to specific pools. Less important workloads shut down immediately.
- D. It protects against cascade failures due to load. It ensures that workload isolation is balanced between pools. Less important workloads start transactionally
- E. It protects against cascade failures due to load.It ensures workloads are not isolated between pools.Less important workloads shut downtransactionally.
Correct Answer: A 🗳️
A node isevicted from a three-node cluster due to poor latency of the underlying storage Which two statements arecorrectin describing the instancerecovery process?
- A. Upon startup of failed instance,the SMON process performs instance crash recovery by using checkpoints to determine which data needs to be append to data files.
- B. User intervention is not required.
- C. Upon startup, the SMON/LMS processes perform instance crash recovery.
- D. Perform a restore of archive redo from flashrecovery area to recover database
- E. Upon startup, PMON (process monitor) performs instance crashrecovery automatically User intervention is not required
Correct Answer: A,B 🗳️
A customeris using thepolicy-managed database by name RACDB on a 4-node cluster. The server namesinthe Clusterare:dasher, vixen, comet, and dancer
There are two server pools defined, frontoffice and backoffice The attributes are as followsServerpoolmportance MinMax
Frontoffice1022 Backoffice512
There are two uniform services being created, crmsrv and hrsrv.
crmsrv is being assigned toserverpoolfrontoffice and hrsrv is assigned to backoffice.
Currently, allfour nodes are up and running. The database and its services are running as follows:
The serverpoolfrontoffice , which is running thecrmsrv service is being run on the dasher and vixen hosts
Theserverpoolbackoffice, whichis runninghrsvc service is being run on comet and dancer hosts.
What happens when the dasher node fails?
- A. One of the nodes is moved from the backofficeserverpool to the fronofficeserverpool . This is moved with the consideration or importance and minimum attributes configured. Effectively, the crmsrv service wil run intwo nodes andhrsvc will run in one node.
- B. Nothing happens because any service relocation is a major interruption to the clients who are connecting to the services.
- C. Rebootlescrs cluster stack willbe tried inallthe duster nodes to resolve the issue.If this is notresolved, allnodes in thecluster get bounced to resolve the issues
- D. Because the crmsrv serviceis defined asuniform servicethe cluster ensures at least one node is up and running, which is the current case. So, there will be no service relocation thatwillhappen.
