Which statement is true about operating systems in an X5 Database Machine multirack configuration consisting
of two full racks and one Exadata storage expansion rack?
A.
All Exadata storage servers used by the same virtual cluster nodes must run the same O/S but Exadata
Storage Servers in different clusters may run different operating systems.
B.
All Exadata storage servers must run the Oracle Solaris O/S and all database servers within the same
cluster must run Oracle Linux.
C.
All Exadata storage servers may run Oracle Virtual Machine (OVM).
D.
All Exadata storage servers must run Oracle Linux.
E.
All Exadata storage servers must run the Oracle Linux O/S and all database servers within the same cluster
must run the same version of Oracle Virtual Machine (OVM).
Explanation:
On both physical and virtual deployments, Exadata systems use minimal Linux distributions to ensure that just the RPMs needed to run Oracle database, are installed and enabled.
