You plan to apply a patchset to a RAC database running on a two-node cluster.
✑ The cluster has this configuration:
✑ Grid infrastructure release 12.1.0.1.0
✑ RAC database release 12.1.0.1.0
✑ All software installed on local file systems
✑ The database is deployed on ASM disk groups.
Examine this list of possible tasks (see exhibit).
Exhibit:
Identify the required tasks in the correct order to apply the patchset with the least amount of down time.
To apply a patchset to a RAC database running on a two-node cluster with the least amount of downtime, you need to start by applying the database patchset in a new location (step 3). Next, you must stop all database instances (step 2) to ensure that the patch can be applied without any running processes interfering. After stopping the instances, start one database instance in upgrade mode and run the upgrade script (step 5). Once the upgrade script has successfully completed, you can start all database instances normally (step 8). This sequence ensures the patchset is applied correctly and the database is upgraded with minimal downtime.
A and C of course no; it's a RAC database patchset, GI it's not affected
