Your organization needs a new Oracle 12cR1 RAC environment. The decision is made to done a sting
RAC system to new servers using the clone.p1 method.
Which mandatory step must be performed before launching the clone procedure?
A.
Install an Oracle 12cR1 Database home to use as a seeded environment.
B.
Ensure that the server meets all of the prerequisite requirements because the perl cione.p1
cloning method does not check that.
C.
Copy the clone.pl utility to each target node.
D.
Restore a copy of the Oracle Cluster Registry to the target servers.
E.
Keep all target nodes network isolated until the cloning is finished on the first node and then join
each to the cluster network.

Note:
Unlike traditional methods of installation, the cloning process does not validate your input during the preparation phase. (By comparison, during the traditional method of installation using OUI, various checks occur during the interview phase.) Thus, if you make errors during the hardware setup or in the preparation phase, then the cloned installation fails.
Why not C, as it is required to run clone.pl on each node?
It is not COPY the clone.pl utility..instead it is supposed to be RUN on all target nodes.
sg is right: B is the correct answer

Creating a Cluster by Cloning Oracle Clusterware:
– Install an Oracle 12cR1 Clusterware to use as a seeded environment.
– Shut Down Running Services
– Copy of the Oracle Grid Infrastructure Home to the Destination node
– Verify your hardware and operating system environment on the destination node
– Run the clone.pl (from Oracle Home) Script on the Destination Node
– Launch the Configuration Wizard (config.sh) on the Destination Node

NOTE: When cloning an installation to a new/separate server, it is mandatory to check that the server meets all of the prerequisite requirements because the “perl clone.pl” cloning method (see Step 3 in the section below) does not check them. See Note:169706.1 or the Installation Guide for a list of these.
