Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Manually configure Oracle Grid Infrastructure clusterware parameters on the underlying cluster nodes.
Why it's wrong here
Grid Infrastructure and clusterware are fully managed by Oracle in Autonomous Database.
- ✓
Scale up or down the number of OCPUs without downtime.
Why this is correct
You can scale OCPUs up or down dynamically while the database remains online.
- ✗
Manually repartition tablespaces using raw OS mount points attached to the DB node.
Why it's wrong here
Autonomous Database abstracts OS management; you cannot manually manage raw OS mount points.
- ✗
Modify the operating system kernel parameters using root user privileges.
Why it's wrong here
Users do not have root or OS-level access to Autonomous Database instances.
- ✓
Increase the storage capacity (in TB) online without interrupting database operations.
Why this is correct
Storage size can be scaled up online without database downtime.
