Which background process of a database instance, using Automatic Storage Management (ASM), connects as a foreground process into the ASM instance?
A.
ASMB
B.
PMON
C.
RBAL
D.
SMON
Explanation:
The ASMB process of a database instance, using ASM, connects as a foreground process into the ASM instance. This ASMB process is responsible for the communication between the database and the ASM instance.The process monitor (PMON) process does not connect as a foreground process into the ASM instance. The PMON process cleans up failed user processes and frees up all the resources used by the failed processes.
The RBAL process does not connect as a foreground process into the ASM instance. The RBAL process is new background process of an ASM instance, and this process coordinates rebalancing activity for disk groups.
The system monitor (SMON) process does not connect as a foreground process into the ASM instance. The SMON process performs instance recovery at database start up by using the online redo log files.
