An administrator is using Volumes for its mission critical environments to support its highly

transactional Oracle database. Users have reported that recent queries to the database are very

slow and the response times have increased as the database has grown

The administrator noticed that the database server is built using a single large vDisk for the

database and logs

How should the administrator resolve this issue?

AIncrease vDisk size for the mission-critical workload and enable flash-mode.

BUse between four and eight vDisks for the mission-critical workload

CIncrease vDisk size for the mission-critical workload and enable VGLB

DIncrease the iSCSI MaxTransferlength of the clients.

Wait, what's VGLB? Sounds like some kind of made-up tech jargon. I think I'll stick with the tried and true option B.

Option B is a good choice. Using multiple vDisks can improve performance for the mission-critical workload.

VGLB stands for Virtual Global Load Balancing. It helps distribute traffic across multiple vDisks for better performance.

Haha, I love how the question mentions 'mission-critical' environments. Like, no pressure or anything! I'd go with C, just to be on the safe side.

Option D is a bit of a wild card. Increasing the iSCSI MaxTransferlength? That's a bit too technical for my liking. I'd go with B or C.

Hmm, I'm not sure about that. Increasing the vDisk size and enabling flash-mode seems like the most straightforward solution to me. It's worth a try before getting more complex.

Maybe we should try that first before considering other options.
