The high availability services provided by Oracle Clusterware are used to protect Oracle
resources, such as RAC database instances, RAC database services, and other components of
the Oracle Grid Infrastructure, and non-Oracle resources as well.
Which two statements are true about the high availability capabilities of Oracle HA services?
A.
RAC databases may have their instances failed over in some cases.
B.
ASM instances may be failed over if fewer than three nodes remain in the cluster, so that there
are always at least three ASM instances available.
C.
If a node fails, then all resources that were active on that node will be failed over to a surviving
node if any exists.
D.
If a node fails, then cluster resources that were active on that node may be failed over to a
surviving node if any exists, but local resources are not failed over.
E.
HA services will only fail over a resource upon failure of the node where the resource was
active.
Explanation:
Resource Types
Local resource: These are server-centric resources; the type name is local_resource. These run
locally on individual servers of the cluster and are not relevant outside of the scope of the server.
Cluster resource: Cluster-aware resource types (type name is cluster_resource) are aware of the
cluster environment and are subject to cardinality and cross-server switchover and failover. The
state of cluster resources is relevant in the context of the cluster.

A is right. how could this be wrong?
B is wrong. why have to be 3 ASM?
C is wrong. local resource
D is right.
E is wrong. why only upon node failure? if service failed, it can fail over too.
So A.D are correct
Interesting!
The Q44 is the same question , but the answer is different.
RAC instances do not failed-over, unlike Active-Passive cluster solutions. So A is incorrect.
Sorry, but I disagree. If you have, for example a RAC database running under a server pool with 3 nodes but min and max hosts equals 2. Then, if a node where one of instances is running crashes, that instance will be failed over to surviving node where no instance of this database was running. So, A is correct. About answer E, I agree with Zhu.
