Oracle Business Intelligence Cloud Service 2016 Implementation Specialist — Question 1

You want to change an existing Oracle Clusterware standard Cluster to an Oracle Flex Cluster There is Grid Naming Service (GNS) and Flex ASM configured right now. In what order do you need to take the following steps?
1. Stop Oracle Clusterware
2. Determine the current mode of the cluster
3. Ensure that the GNS is configured with a fixed VIP.
4. Change the mode of the cluster to be an Oracle Flex Cluster.
5. Use the Oracle Automatic Storage Management Configuration Assistant (ASMCA) to enable Oracle Flex ASM in the cluster
6. Start Oracle Clusterware

Answer options

• A. 1, 2, 3, 5, 4, 6
• B. 2, 3, 5, 4, 1, 6
• C. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
• D. 2, 3, 4, 5, 1, 6

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct order starts with determining the current mode of the cluster, followed by ensuring GNS has a fixed VIP, then changing the cluster mode to an Oracle Flex Cluster, enabling Oracle Flex ASM using ASMCA, and finally starting Oracle Clusterware. Options A, B, and C do not follow this logical sequence, particularly in the placement of stopping and starting the Clusterware, which should be done last.
