C. When deploying an Oracle RAC database:
Shadow clones should be explicitly disabled when deploying an Oracle RAC database. Oracle RAC requires highly consistent and low-latency storage access, and enabling shadow clones can introduce additional latency and potential inconsistencies that are unsuitable for such databases.
Shadow clones are designed to enhance performance for read-heavy workloads by caching frequently accessed data locally. However, Oracle RAC’s stringent requirements for data consistency and latency make this feature inappropriate for its deployment.
[Reference:Nutanix best practices and deployment guides for Oracle databases provide detailed recommendations on configuring storage and performance settings, specifically advising against the use of shadow clones for Oracle RAC environments., ]
