Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Network File System (NFS) shared mounts from a third-party NAS filer
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. NFS is not the primary storage architecture for high-performance Oracle Base Database systems on OCI.
- ✗
Raw Device Mapping (RDM) shared via Fibre Channel SAN
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. OCI does not expose traditional Fibre Channel SAN storage via RDM to database VMs.
- ✓
Oracle Automatic Storage Management (ASM) configured across OCI Block Volumes
Why this is correct
Correct. OCI Base Databases use ASM to stripe and mirror data across high-performance OCI Block Volumes.
- ✗
Local NVMe drives directly attached to the hypervisor without redundancy
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect. Base databases use network-attached OCI Block Storage with ASM, not raw local NVMe without protection.
