Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Add additional storage servers (storage cells) to the Exadata infrastructure resource.
Why this is correct
Exadata Dedicated allows independent scaling by adding storage servers to the infrastructure.
- ✗
Migrate the database to a Bare Metal DB system with larger local NVMe drives.
Why it's wrong here
Migration is unnecessary because Exadata Dedicated supports scaling infrastructure components directly.
- ✗
Scale up the Exadata VM cluster shape by adding more OCPUs.
Why it's wrong here
Scaling OCPUs increases compute power, not storage capacity.
- ✗
Attach OCI Block Storage volumes directly to the Exadata database nodes via iSCSI.
Why it's wrong here
Exadata uses its own internal high-speed storage cell grid, not standalone OCI Block Storage volumes attached via iSCSI.
