Oracle Database 12c: RAC Administration — Question 3

Which two tasks must be performed before launching the Oracle universal installer to install Oracle Database Software for RAC?

Answer options

• A. SSH user equivalence for the Oracle software owner must be configured on all cluster nodes.
• B. Grid infrastructure must be installed on all cluster nodes where the Database software will be installed.
• C. SSH user equivalence for the Oracle software owner must be configured on all cluster nodes where the Database Software will be installed.
• D. Grid infrastructure must be installed on all cluster nodes.
• E. The Clusterware stack must be up on all cluster nodes.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because the Grid infrastructure is a prerequisite for the Oracle Database software installation in a RAC environment. Option A and C refer to SSH user equivalence, which is important but not the primary prerequisite. Option D is too general as it doesn't specify the installation context, and E, while relevant, is not directly related to the installation of the database software itself.
