Oracle Database 12c: RAC Administration — Question 58

Examine this command executed on the first node of a three-node cluster:
# <GRID_INFRASTRUCTURE_ORACLE_HOME>/OPatch/opatchauto apply 18139660
Which two tasks does this command perform?

Answer options

• A. It applies a patch to the Grid Infrastructure only on the first cluster node.
• B. It applies a patch to the Grid Infrastructure on all cluster nodes.
• C. It applies a patch to all database ORACLE_HOMEs, with the same release as the Grid Infrastructure, only on the first cluster node.
• D. It applies a patch to all database ORACLE_HOMEs, with the same release as the Grid Infrastructure, on all cluster nodes.
• E. It applies a patch to all database ORACLE_HOMEs of any version on the first cluster node.
• F. It applies a patch to all database ORACLE_HOMEs of any version on all cluster nodes.

Correct answer: B, D

Explanation

The command is designed to apply a patch to the Grid Infrastructure across all cluster nodes, not just the first one, which makes option B correct. Option D is also correct as it indicates that the patch will be applied to all database ORACLE_HOMEs with the same release on all cluster nodes. The other options incorrectly limit the scope of the patch application either to a single node or to different versions of ORACLE_HOMEs.
