Oracle12c OCP Exam Went through..

I am glad i went through Oracle12c OCP exam yesterday and passed!

I went through Oracle training and read study material helped me to get through this exam.

This exam has two section.

Section 1 is New features of Oracle database 12c. Passing score is 64%.  I scored 86%.
Section 2 is Key DBA skills. Passing score is 65%. I scored 90%.

Here are some sample OCP questions.

Question 1

A database is stored in Automatic storage management(ASM) disk group, disk group, DGROUP1
with SQL :

SQL > CREATE DISKGROUP dgroup1 NORMAL REDUNDANCY
             FAILGROUP controller1 DISK '/devices/diska1','/devices/diska2'
             FAILGROUP controller2 DISK '/devices/diskb1','/devices/diskb2';

There is enough free space in the disk gorup for mirroring to be done.

What happens if the CONTROLLER1 failure group becomes unavailable due to maintenance error?

A) Transactions and queries accessing database objects contained in any tablespace stored in DGROUP1 will fail

B) Mirroring of allocation units will be done to ASM disks in the CONTROLLER2 failure group 

until the CONTROLLER1 for failure group is brought back online.

C) The data in the CONTROLLER1 failure group is copied to the CONTROLLER2 failure group and re balancing is initiated.

D) ASM does not mirror any data until the controller failure group is brought back online, and newly allocated primary allocation unit (PA) are stored in the controller2 failure group without mirroring.
