You must configure an Oracle Data Guard environment consisting of: 1. A primary database 2. Three Physical Standby Databases You must meet these requirements: 1. A designated physical standby database should become the primary database automatically whenever the primary database falls. 2. The chosen protection mode should provide the highest level of protection possible without violating the other requirement. Which redo transport mode and protection mode would you configure to meet these requirements?

The Maximum Availability protection mode provides the highest level of data protection that is possible without compromising the availability of a primary database. When a transport is performed using SYNC/AFFIRM, the primary performs write operations and waits for acknowledgment that the redo has been transmitted synchronously to the physical standby and written to disk. A SYNC/AFFIRM transport provides an additional protection benefit at the expense of a performance impact caused by the time required to complete the I/O to the standby redo log. Incorrect Answers: B: When a transport is performed using SYNC/NOAFFIRM, the primary performs write operations and waits only for acknowledgement that the data has been received on the standby, not that it has been written to disk. The SYNC/NOAFFIRM transport can provide a performance benefit at the expense of potential exposure to data loss in a special case of multiple simultaneous failures.
