Oracle Database 12c: RAC Administration — Question 10

Which two statements are true regarding ASM Dynamic Volume manager (ADVM)?

Answer options

• A. To create an ADVM volume, disk group attributes COMAPTIBLE.ASM and COMPATIBLE.ADVM must be minimally set to 12.1.
• B. An ADVM volume is individually named and can contain only one file system.
• C. Only one ADVM volume can be created in an ASM disk group.
• D. ADVM extends ASM by providing a device driver interface to storage backed by an ASM disk group.
• E. File systems contained in ADVM volumes may only contain database files.

Correct answer: B, D

Explanation

The correct answers are B and D. Option B is accurate because each ADVM volume is indeed uniquely identified and can accommodate just one file system. Option D is also correct since ADVM enhances ASM's capabilities by providing a device driver interface for ASM disk groups. Options A, C, and E are incorrect as they misrepresent the functionalities and limitations of ADVM.
