What is the most recent point to which the database can be recovered?
A company has activated a consistent clone replica of an Oracle database using hot backup mode on February 26th. The Oracle instance continues to run until March 6th. On March 7th, the company realizes that an application problem occurred on February 28th.

Which path management activities will this plug-in allow?
A company uses VMware ESXi servers and EMC Symmetrix VMAX storage arrays. The storage administrators use the VMware vSphere client on their Microsoft Windows desktops to manage the environment. They would like to use the EMC Virtual Storage Integrator Path Management plug-in.

What is the most likely solution?
A company has a vSphere environment consisting of eight ESXi hosts. Each host is running EMC PowerPath/VE and is connected to multiple FA ports on their Symmetrix. PowerPath/VE will not claim the disk devices presented by their storage array even though the devices are seen by the hosts.

What is the recommended way to organize ASM disk groups to make use of additional space?
An Oracle ASM disk group consists of two 50 GB LUNs and is currently in use. The Oracle database requires more storage space and has two 100 GB LUNs available.

What is a consideration when mounting datastores on the remote site after a failover?
A company uses EMC Symmetrix VMAX storage for their VMware vSphere environment. They intend to use SRDF/S for disaster recovery.
What is a consideration when mounting datastores on the remote site after a failover?
How can this impact to the nightly process be minimized?
Storage administrators for an EMC Symmetrix VMAX need to increase allocated storage for Microsoft Exchange LUNs without interrupting its operation. Performing a virtual LUN migration causes a critical nightly clone operation to run for hours instead of minutes. This impacts later dependent jobs, preventing production operations from completing.
