Which two statements are true in regards to starting the Exadata Virtual Machine?

Question

Options

• ATo see Oracle Linux boot messages during guest startup, use --console option with the vm_maker
• BUse vm_maker --start-domain to start a virtual machine manually.
• CUse vm_maker boot-from-iso command to boot a virtual machine.
• DTo streamline the diagnosis of virtual machines, one ISO file is used for multiple Oracle Exadata
• EUse vm_maker --auto-start command to configure a virtual machine to start automatically when the

• B

• C

• D

Explanation

vm_maker --start-domain (B) is the correct manual command to start an Exadata virtual machine, and vm_maker --auto-start (E) is the correct command to configure a VM to start automatically when the Exadata compute node boots - both are standard vm_maker utility flags for VM lifecycle management.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A is incorrect: the --console option is not used with vm_maker to display boot messages in the way described; console attachment works differently in the Exadata VM framework.
• C is incorrect: there is no boot-from-iso subcommand in that format; ISO-based booting uses a different flag syntax (typically --boot-from-iso as a flag, not a positional command).
• D is incorrect and the opposite of best practice - each virtual machine uses its own ISO file to ensure isolation and streamline per-VM diagnostics, not a shared single ISO across multiple VMs.

Memory tip: Think Boots manually, Enables auto-boot - "B starts it now, E starts it next time." Both deal with starting VMs, just triggered differently (manual vs. automatic), which makes them a natural pair.
