649.Examine the CREATE DISKGROUP command used to create a disk group:
SQL> CREATE DISKGROUP misc EXTERNAL REDUNDANCY
DISK 'ORCL: FRA3' NAME misc1, 'ORCL: FRA4' NAME misc2;
In which situation would you use this method of disk group creation?
A. When two-way disk mirroring is required for the allocation units
B. When three-way disk mirroring is required for the allocation units
C. When using hardware mirroring or RAID
D. When disk mirroring is required for the Automatic Storage Management (ASM) disks

REDUNDANCY Clause
The REDUNDANCY
clause lets you specify the redundancy level of the disk group.
-
NORMAL
REDUNDANCY
requires the existence of at least two failure groups (see theFAILGROUP
clause that follows). Oracle ASM provides redundancy for all files in the disk group according to the attributes specified in the disk group templates.NORMAL
REDUNDANCY
disk groups can tolerate the loss of one group.NORMAL
REDUNDANCY
is the default if you omit theREDUNDANCY
clause. Therefore, if you omit this clause, you must create at least two failure groups, or the create operation will fail. -
HIGH
REDUNDANCY
requires the existence of at least three failure groups. Oracle ASM fixes mirroring at 3-way mirroring, with each extent getting two mirrored copies.HIGH
REDUNDANCY
disk groups can tolerate the loss of two failure groups. -
EXTERNAL
REDUNDANCY
indicates that Oracle ASM does not provide any redundancy for the disk group. The disks within the disk group must provide redundancy (for example, using a storage array), or you must be willing to tolerate loss of the disk group if a disk fails (for example, in a test environment). You cannot specify theFAILGROUP
clause if you specifyEXTERNAL

REDUNDANCY即是ASM不会有故障组,需要自己提供别的冗余方式,如硬盘或者raid冗余
