Oracle Database 12c: Advanced Administration — Question 58

You execute the RMAN commands:
RMAN> CONFIGURE DEFAULT DEVICE TYPE TO disk;
RMAN> CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE sbt PARALLELISM 2;
RMAN> BACKUP DATABASE;
Which two statements are true? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. One channel is allocated.
• B. Two channels are allocated.
• C. The backup set is created in parallel in two locations.
• D. The backup set is created in parallel only in one location.
• E. The backup set is created serially in only one location.

Correct answer: B, C

Explanation

The correct answer is B and C because the configuration indicates that two channels are allocated for the backup process, allowing the backup set to be created in parallel across two locations. The other options are incorrect as they either underestimate the number of channels or misrepresent the parallelism of the backup process.
