Which parameter should you specify to control the speed of the rebalancing activity?

A.
ASM_POWER_LIMIT

B.
ASM_DISKSTRING

C.
ASM_DISKGROUPS

D.
INSTANCE_TYPE

Explanation:
You should use the ASM_POWER_LIMIT parameter to control the speed of the rebalancing
activity. To ensure that rebalancing operations do not interfere with the ongoing user I/O, the
ASM_POWER_LIMIT parameter controls the speed of rebalancing operations. The value for the
ASM_POWER_LIMIT parameter ranges from 0 to 11. The default value of 1 indicates low
overhead. This is a dynamic parameter; therefore, you can set this to a low value during the day
and to a higher value overnight whenever a disk rebalancing operation must occur. You can also
control the speed of rebalancing by specifying a POWER clause in an ALTER DISKGROUP
statement or when rebalancing. The option stating that the ASM_DISKSTRING parameter is used
to control the speed of rebalancing is incorrect. The ASM_DISKSTRING parameter specifies one
or more strings, which are operating system dependent, to limit the disk devices that can be used
to create disk groups.
The option stating that the ASM_DISKGROUPS parameter is used to control the speed of
rebalancing is incorrect. The ASM_DISKGROUPS parameter specifies a list containing the names
of the disk groups that will be automatically mounted by the ASM instance at startup or by the
ALTER DISKGROUP ALL MOUNT; statement. The option stating that the INSTANCE_TYPE

parameter is used to control the speed of rebalancing is incorrect. The INSTANCE_TYPE
parameter identifies the instance as an ASM instance or non-ASM instance. For an ASM instance,
this parameter must be set to a value of ASM.

version 11.2:

“The ASM_POWER_LIMIT initialization parameter specifies the default power for disk rebalancing in a disk group. The range of values is 0 to 1024. The default value is 1. A value of 0 disables rebalancing. Higher numeric values enable the rebalancing operation to complete more quickly, but might result in higher I/O overhead and more rebalancing processes.

•For disk groups that have the disk group ASM compatibility set to 11.2.0.2 or greater (for example, COMPATIBLE.ASM = 11.2.0.2), the operational range of values is 0 to 1024 for the rebalance power.

•For disk groups that have the disk group ASM compatibility set to less than 11.2.0.2, the operational range of values is 0 to 11 inclusive. If the value for ASM_POWER_LIMIT is larger than 11, a value of 11 is used for these disk groups.”
