Examine the command to back up the ASM metadata:
ASMCMD>md_backup /backup/ASM_backup
In which three situations can you use the backup?
The md_backup command creates a backup file containing metadata for one or more disk groups. i By default all the mounted disk groups are included in the backup file which is saved in the current working directory.
The md_backup command creates a backup file containing metadata for one or more disk groups.

Which three conditions must be met before you create a Virtual Private Catalog (VPC)?
You want to consolidate databases for the CRM, ERP, and SCM applications by migrating them to pluggable databases (PDBs).
You have already created a test system to support the consolidation of databases in a multitenant container database (CDB) that has multiple PDBs.
What is the easiest way to perform capacity planning for consolidation?
Examine the command used to perform an incremental level-0 backup:
RMAN>BACKUP INCREMENTAL LEVEL0 DATABASE;
To enable block change tracking, after the incremental level 0 backup, you issue the command:
SQL>ALTER DATABASE ENABLE BLOCK CHANGE TRACKING USING
FILE'/mydir/rman_change_track.f';
To perform an incremental level-1 cumulative backup, you issue the command:
RMAN>BACKUP INCREMENTAL LEVEL1 CUMULATIVE DATABASE;
Which two statements are true in the preceding situation?
Which three statements are true about Oracle Restart?
A is correct: Oracle Restart improves the availability of your Oracle database. When you install Oracle Restart, various Oracle components can be automatically restarted after a hardware or software failure or whenever your database host computer restarts E is correct: Oracle Restart runs periodic check operations to monitor the health of these components. If a check operation fails for a component, the component is shut down and restarted. B is also true About Startup Dependencies Oracle Restart ensures that Oracle components are started in the proper order, in accordance with component dependencies. For example, if database files are stored in Oracle ASM disk groups, then before starting the database instance, Oracle Restart ensures that the Oracle ASM instance is started and the required disk groups are mounted. Likewise, if a component must be shut down, Oracle Restart ensures that dependent components are cleanly shut down first. Oracle Restart also manages the weak dependency between database instances and the Oracle Net listener (the listener): When a database instance is started, Oracle Restart attempts to start the listener. If the listener startup fails, then the database is still started. If the listener later fails, Oracle Restart does not shut down and restart any database instances.
