Which task must be performed before running the OPatch utility to patch Oracle Grid Infrastructure 12c?
A.
Update the PATH environment variable on each cluster node to point to
The $ORACLE_HOME/OPatch directory.
B.
Stage the patch on the cluster node where the OPatch utility will be executed.
C.
Update the PATH environment variable on the node where will run the OPatch utility to point to the $ORACLE_HOME/OPatch directory.
D.
Stage the patch on the cluster nodes.
Correct: B
Before Patching with OPatch
. Check the current setting for the ORACLE_HOME variable
. Backup up the directory being patched with an OS utility or Oracle Secure backup
. Stage the patch to each node
. Update the PATH environment variable for the OPatch directory
correct: D
I think correct answers : C & D
yeah tricky question, I would said C or D are the correct options…
C is wrong.
You CAN either specify the path to the opatch executable file when running OPatch, or you can update the PATH environment variable to include the OPatch directory.
Question is “Which task must be performed”
CAN != MUST
Agree
Correct B
wait, in that case the patch must stage on each node… so for sure the correct answer is D
Correct is B.
B.
Stage the patch on the cluster node where the OPatch utility will be executed.
You need only to have the patch in the Cluster Node (only 1) where you will login to apply the patch.
D is NOT correct.
D.
Stage the patch on the cluster nodes.
You do not need to stage the patch to the cluster nodeS (no need to have the patch on ALL nodes, just one is okay.)
Student Guide D81250Gc11 Lesson 9 Upgrading and Patching Grid Infrastructure says:
Check the current setting of the ORACLE_HOME variable
Stage the path to each node
D is correct, here is reference:
