Oracle Database 12c: RAC Administration — Question 35

Which two statements are true about ASM alias names?

Answer options

• A. ASM files created using an alias name are not OMF files even if OMF is enabled.
• B. Alias file names cannot be used together with templates when creating tablespaces.
• C. ASM files created using an alias name are OMF files even if OMF is not enabled.
• D. Alias names can be stored only in user-defined directories.
• E. ASM files created using an alias name also have a fully qualified name and can be accessed by either name.

Correct answer: C, E

Explanation

Option C is correct because ASM files created with an alias are indeed treated as OMF files regardless of OMF being enabled. Option E is also correct since these files have a fully qualified name that allows access through both the alias and the full name. The other options contain inaccuracies about the functionality and limitations of ASM alias names.
