Explanation: Oracle Enterprise Manager effectively keeps your Oracle VM available and running efficiently. Specifically, it provides a graphical user interface for managing Oracle
VM Server, guest virtual machines, and server pools. As with Oracle VM monitoring, administration of Oracle VM begins with the Virtualization Central page. You can perform administration tasks such as the following:
Create, remove, and manage virtual server pools
Register, deregister, edit, reboot, and stop virtual server
Start, stop, suspend, resume, pause, un-pause, and edit guest virtual machines
Note:
*A Server Pool is a logical grouping of one or more virtual servers that share common storage. A virtual server can belong to only one virtual server pool at a time. Guest virtual machines and resources are also associated with server pools. Oracle VM Server Pool is an aggregate target type in Enterprise Manager to represent the server pool of Oracle VM
Servers.

Explanation: *Enterprise Manager Groups enable administrators to logically organize distributed targets for efficient and effective management and monitoring
*By combining targets in a group, Enterprise Manager provides management features that enable you to efficiently manage these targets as one group. Using the Group functionality, you can:
/View a summary status of the targets within the group.
/Monitor incidents for the group collectively, rather than individually.
/Monitor the overall performance of the group.
/Perform administrative tasks, such as scheduling jobs for the entire group, or blacking out the group for maintenance periods.

Answer : A

Explanation:
Note:
*Step 1:Oracle Virtual Assembly Builder
Oracle Virtual Assembly Builder makes it possible for administrators to quickly configure and provision entire multi-tier application topologies onto virtualized and cloud environments. It provides a framework for capturing the configuration of existing software components and packaging them as self-contained building blocks known as appliances. These appliances can then be easily connected to form application blueprints known as assemblies. This innovative approach makes it practical for complex enterprise applications to easily be customized and provisioned in their entirety with minimal to no manual intervention onto virtualized and cloud environments.
* Step 2Software Library
The Software Library Administration console allows you to configure and administer
Software Library. To start using the Software Library, you must add at least one upload file storage location (OMS Shared location, or OMS Agent location) on the host where the
OMS is running. A storage location in Software Library represents a repository of files, these files are either uploaded by Software Library, or generated and saved by some user- owned process.

Answer : A,B,D

Explanation: A: Examples of information collected at regular intervals include:
/Oracle WebLogic Server software installations, including applied patches
/Oracle WebLogic Server configuration parameters (e.g. ports, JVM information, JDBC and JMS resources, startup and shutdown classes) and configuration files
/Operating system patches, kernel parameter settings, and installed packages
/Hardware components including CPU, memory, storage, and network devices
B: Many performance degradation issues in production application environments occur due to unauthorized configuration change. Organizations using Oracle WebLogic Server and other
Application Servers routinely struggle with managing configurations and enforcing compliance standards across all of their server deployment. Oracle Enterprise Manager provides comprehensive configuration management capabilities that help customers maximize value of their IT assets, increase the quality of IT services, reduce the cost of managing IT, and meet IT compliance requirements.
D:Ensuring compliance with standards such as SOX(Sarbanes-Oxley), ITIL, and PCI, as well as with unique business standards, is a challenge. Oracle Enterprise Manager ships with several predefined policies for Oracle WebLogic Server and also enables users to define their own specific policies and groups to quickly demonstrate compliance with various regulations and standards.
