A customer plans to deploy Oracle on their new Symmetrix VMAX. They are concerned
about the performance of the redo log files. You recommend isolating these files to their own
set of disks and deploying them on striped metavolumes. Why would you recommend
striped metavolumes?

A customer is planning an Oracle 11g implementation. You have been asked to design the
Oracle storage architecture. You recommend placing redo log files on separate drives from
other Oracle files. Your customer wants an explanation of this architecture choice. What best
describes the reason for this EMC recommendation?

A customer has implemented an Oracle application on a Symmetrix VMAX with a mix of
Enterprise Flash Drives (EFD) and FC 15K drives. EFD are configured in RAID 5, and FC
15K drives are configured both in RAID 5 and RAID 1. In terms of IOPS activity, reads are
predominant over writes. The customer decided to place a portion of the database in each
tier. Which Oracle database object(s) is suitable for placing on the FC 15K RAID 1 drives?

Which database workload is suitable for an EFD configuration?

What is the most important advantage of implementing an ASM, Oracle 11g application on
an existing Symmetrix array?
