Oracle Database 12c: Multitenancy Essentials — Question 16

Which components of an Exadata storage server image, if updated, may require that a patch also be applied to the database servers in an Exadata X6 Database
Machine?

Answer options

• A. Linux operating system on the storage server
• B. InfiniBand HCA firmware on the storage server
• C. Storage server hard disk device drivers
• D. Storage server flash device drivers

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Updating the storage server flash device drivers can impact how the database servers interact with the storage subsystem, potentially requiring a corresponding patch on the database servers. The other components listed do not have the same direct dependency on the database servers, meaning their updates would not necessitate similar patches.
