You are in the process of upgrading your X5 Database Machine half rack to a full rack. The new storage servers are called DM01CEL08 through DM01CEL14.
After creating 96 new griddisks, you issued this SQL statement:
How many failgroups if any, will be added to the DATA diskgroup by executing this SQL statement?
Correct Answer:
D
The number of failure groups equals the number of Exadata Cells. Each failure group is composed of a subset of grid disks in the Oracle ASM disk group that belong to a single storage cell.
