Question #: 36
Topic #: 4

Refer to the exhibit.

A request is received to provision a new Oracle SIHA DB & VM to test ASMLIB on OEL79 and Oracle 19c. When walking through the provisioning workflow, only ASMFD is available in the ASM Driver drop down.

What is necessary to provision the requested SIHA DB and DB VM with ASMLIB?

AUpdate the software profile to include the ASMLIB driver.

BInstall ASMLIB on the NDB server.

CUpdate the NDB driver config to enable ASMLIB for Oracle.

DInstall ASMLIB on the database server.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

In the context of Nutanix Database Automation (NCP-DB), when provisioning a new Oracle SIHA DB & VM, if only ASMFD is available in the ASM Driver drop-down, it indicates that ASMLIB is not included in the current software profile. To provision the requested SIHA DB and DB VM with ASMLIB, it's essential to update the software profile to include the ASMLIB driver. This action will enable ASMLIB as an option in the ASM Driver drop-down during the provisioning workflow.

I disagree, installing ASMLIB on the database server seems unnecessary.

Wait, can you really provision without ASMLIB installed?

You need to install ASMLIB on the NDB server.

I’m leaning towards option B, installing ASMLIB on the NDB server, but I’m not completely confident about it.

I feel like the NDB driver config might need to be updated too, but I can't recall the exact details.

I think we practiced a similar question where updating the software profile was necessary. Could that be the answer here?

I remember something about needing to install ASMLIB on the database server, but I'm not sure if that's the only step needed.

I've seen questions like this before. The best approach is to carefully read through the details and options provided, then select the answer that most directly addresses the specific request.

Okay, let me think this through. Since ASMFD is the only option available, I'm guessing we need to install ASMLIB on the database server to provision the requested SIHA DB and VM.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused about the difference between ASMFD and ASMLIB. I'll need to review the details on those before I can confidently answer this.

Option D, of course! What, did they think we'd just magically summon ASMLIB from thin air? Time to get our hands dirty and install that driver!

This is a tricky one, but I think option D is the right choice. Installing ASMLIB on the database server should make it available in the provisioning workflow.

I think both options could work, but D) might be more straightforward and less prone to errors.

Option D seems like the correct answer here. If ASMLIB is not already installed, we need to get it on the database server before we can provision the new SIHA DB and VM.

Haha, the exam question is testing our knowledge of Oracle infrastructure. It's not asking us to install ASMLIB, just to know how to provision it properly.
