You are scaling up an Oracle Base Database System (VM) to add more storage to your existing database data disk group (+DATA). What is the correct procedure in the OCI Console?
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Edit the DB system storage size in the OCI Console to allocate more storage.
For Base DB systems, you can increase the storage size directly in the OCI Console, and ASM automatically recognizes and resizes the disk groups.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Terminate the DB system, create a larger block volume, and attach it as root.
Why it's wrong here
Termination is unnecessary; OCI allows online storage scaling.
- ✗
Create a clone of the database to a new shape with higher storage limits.
Why it's wrong here
Cloning is not required for standard storage scaling.
- ✓
Edit the DB system storage size in the OCI Console to allocate more storage.
Why this is correct
Editing the storage size in the console triggers automatic backend resizing and ASM expansion.
- ✗
Log into the OS via SSH, format a new iSCSI disk, and manually add it to the ASM disk group using SQL*Plus.
Why it's wrong here
Manual iSCSI and ASM disk additions are handled automatically by OCI workflows when scaling via the console.
