3. Separate administrative information pertaining to the database in different directories.
Which option corresponds to the type of activities you performed?
A.
Oracle Managed Files
B.
Oracle Grid Architecture

Explanation:
Optimal Flexible Architecture (OFA)
OFA is designed to:
Organize large amounts of software
Facilitate routine administrative tasks
Facilitate switching between multiple Oracle databases
Manage and administer database growth
Optimal Flexible Architecture (OFA)
OFA is a method for configuring the Oracle database and other databases. OFA takes advantage
of the capabilities of the OS and disk subsystems to create an easy-to-administer configuration
that allows maximum flexibility for growing and high-performance databases. The methods
described here are the basics of OFA.
OFA is designed to:
Organize large amounts of complicated software and data on the disk to avoid device
bottlenecks and poor performance
Facilitate routine administrative tasks (such as software and data backup) that are often
vulnerable to data corruption
Facilitate switching between multiple Oracle databases
Manage and administer database growth
Help eliminate fragmentation of free space in the data dictionary, isolate other fragmentation, and
minimize resource contention
For details about the goals and implementation of OFA, see the Oracle Installation Guide for your
platform.
