Oracle Cloud Infrastructure 2022 Architect Professional — Question 2

The DBA has determined that number of OCPU assigned to an Autonomous Database does not provide sufficient performance. Which option does the DBA have in this case?

Answer options

• A. No downtime is required as number of OCPU can be increased from OCI console, but users have to be informed that they must not use any application for at least one hour.
• B. Open the database in OCI Console and increase the number of OCPU. No downtime required.
• C. Plan for a one-hour downtime and increase the number of OCPU while database is offline.
• D. Call Oracle Cloud Support and raise a request to increase number of OCPU. Expect a downtime of approximately one hour.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because increasing the number of OCPUs can be done seamlessly through the OCI Console without any downtime. Option A incorrectly states that users need to refrain from using applications, which is unnecessary. Option C incorrectly requires downtime, and option D unnecessarily involves Oracle Cloud Support and anticipates downtime when it is not needed.
