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:

I belive Option A is correct
Hi Prashanth
Yes it’s more logic to apply the patchset in a different location before stopping database.
A seems better than C
Regards
Option should “B”
As per the question, it is applicable for Database, not the GI. If you install the GI to a new location, you may have to run the rootupgrade.sh script.
3 Apply the patchset to new location
2 Stop all the database instances
5 Start only one database in the upgrade mode
8 Then Start all the databases
I believe you can’t have GI with lower version than RDBMS.
I will go for A
E is correct.
After startup upgrade and run upgrade script, we need shutdown and re-startup.
I did it.
