What are two benefits of installing Grid Infrastructure software for a stand-alone server before installing and
creating an Oracle database?
A.
Effectively implements role separation
B.
Enables you to take advantage of Oracle Managed Files.
C.
Automatically registers the database with Oracle Restart.
D.
Helps you to easily upgrade the database from a prior release.
E.
Enables the Installation of Grid Infrastructure files on block or raw devices.
Explanation:
C: To use Oracle ASM or Oracle Restart, you must first install Oracle Grid Infrastructure
for a standalone server before you install and create the database. Otherwise, you must
manually register the database with Oracle Restart.Desupport of Block and Raw Devices
With the release of Oracle Database 11g release 2 (11.2) and Oracle RAC 11g release 2 (11.2), using
Database Configuration Assistant or the installer to store Oracle Clusterware or Oracle Database files directly
on block or raw devices is not supported.
If you intend to upgrade an existing Oracle RAC database, or an Oracle RAC database with Oracle ASM
instances, then you can use an existing raw or block device partition, and perform a rolling upgrade of your
existing installation. Performing a new installation using block or raw devices is not allowed.
