Which four statements are true about ADVM interoperability?

Which four statements are true about ADVM interoperability?

Which four statements are true about ADVM interoperability?

A.
Using fdisk or similar disk utilities to partition ADVM-managed volumes is not supported

B.
On Linux platforms, the raw utility can be used to map ADVM volume block devices to raw
volume devices.

C.
The creation of multipath devices over ADVM devices is not supported.

D.
You may create ASMLIB devices over ADVM devices to simplify volume management.

E.
ADVM does not support ASM storage contained in Exadata.

F.
F. ADVM volumes cannot be used as a boot device or a root file system.

Explanation:
Oracle Automatic Storage Management Cluster File System (Oracle ACFS) and
Oracle ASM Dynamic Volume Manager (Oracle ADVM) extend Oracle ASM support to include
database and application executables, database trace files, database alert logs, application
reports, BFILEs, and configuration files. Other supported files are video, audio, text, images,
engineering drawings, and other general-purpose application file data.
Because of the fact that Oracle ADVM Volumes are technically spoken ASM files located on ASM
Disk groups, and the fact that the Dynamic Volumes do not use the traditional device partitioning,
it enables Oracle to extend some of the ASM features to the ASM Clustered File Systems, which
are created inside these ADVM Volumes, such as dynamic resizing or dynamically adding
volumes. This makes ADVM and ACFS a far more flexible solution than traditional physical
devices.

ADVM Restrictions
Partitioning of dynamic volumes (using fdisk or similar) is not supported.
Do not use raw to map ADVM volume block devices into raw volume devices.
Do not create multipath devices over ADVM devices.
Do not create ASMLIB devices over ADVM devices.
ADVM supports all ASM supported storage solutions except NFS and Exadata.
ADVM volumes cannot be used as a boot device or a root file system

A is right. No fdisk for ADVM
B is wrong. ADVM can not be mapped to raw
C is right. no multipathing
D is wrong. No ASMLIB on ADVM
E is right. no ASM storage
F is right. ADVM can not be boot device

So A.C.E.F. are correct.
