While backing up to an SBT channel, you determine that the read phase of your compressed Recovery Manager (RMAN) incremental level 0 backup is a bottleneck.
FORCE LOGGING is enabled for the database.
Which two could improve read performance? (Choose two.)

  • A. Increase the size of tape I/O buffers.
  • B. Disable FORCE LOGGING for the database.
  • C. Increase the size of the database buffer cache.
  • D. Enable asynchronous disk I/O.
  • E. Increase the level of RMAN multiplexing.

I agree, D is correct > In RMAN operation, asynchronous Disk I/O is always better than synchronous I/O as a server process can begin an I/O and then perform other work while waiting for the I/O to complete. On operating systems that do not support native asynchronous I/O, the database can simulate it with special I/O slave processes (DBWR_IO_SLAVES)

Selected Answer: DE
Correct: D,E A. False. SBT buffer can't help on READ phase B. False. Force logging causes all operations in the database to be written to files, but it has no relation to RMAN reading performance C. False. RMAN uses its own buffer cache separate from the database buffer cache D. True. In RMAN operation, asynchronous Disk I/O is always better than synchronous I/O as a server process can begin an I/O and then perform other work while waiting for the I/O to complete.On operating systems that do not support native asynchronous I/O, the database can simulate it with special I/O slave processes (DBWR_IO_SLAVES) E. True. Parallel read

C is incorrect. RMAN does not use database buffer cache. The answer is D,E. Asynchronous I/O (D) and multiplexing (Parallel read - E) improve read performance.

No, you are totally wrong… Synchronous and Asynchronous Disk I/O When a channel reads from or writes to disk, the I/O is either synchronous I/O or asynchronous I/O. When the disk I/O is synchronous, a server process can perform only one task at a time. When the disk I/O is asynchronous, a server process can begin an I/O operation and then perform other work while waiting for the I/O to complete. RMAN can also begin multiple I/O operations before waiting for the first to complete. Take a look at https://docs.oracle.com/database/121/BRADV/rcmtunin.htm#BRADV90067 and Focus on the Read-Phase

Yep, you're right. async can help at READ phase, and A. SBT buffer can't help on READ phase. So finally right answer are: DE

When a channel reads from or writes to disk, the I/O is either synchronous I/O or asynchronous I/O. When the disk I/O is synchronous, a server process can perform only one task at a time. When the disk I/O is asynchronous, a server process can begin an I/O operation and then perform other work while waiting for the I/O to complete. RMAN can also begin multiple I/O operations before waiting for the first to complete. When reading from an ASM disk group, you should use asynchronous disk I/O if possible. Also, if a channel reads from a raw device managed with a volume manager, then asynchronous disk I/O also works well. Some operating systems support native asynchronous disk I/O. The database takes advantage of this feature if it is available.

You can improve performance by increasing the degree of multiplexing used for backing up. This increases the rate at which RMAN fills tape buffers, which makes it more likely that buffers are sent to the media manager fast enough to maintain streaming.

Do you mean to say (based on your analysis), that DE is correct? D. Enable asynchronous disk I/O. E. Increase the level of RMAN multiplexing.
