Which statement is true concerning the installation of an Oracle Grid Infrastructure 12c patchset and its status during the installation?
A.
Some grid infrastructure patchsets may not be installed in a rolling fashion.
B.
They can be applied in-place.
C.
When performing rolling patches, crsctl query crs softwareversion always displays the lowest version of the software running anywhere in the cluster
D.
When performing rolling patches, the VIPs for the node being patched are relocated to another node.
I think that C is correct.
crsctl query crs softwareversion
Use the crsctl query crs softwareversion command to display latest version of the software that has been successfully started on the specified node.
Syntax
crsctl query crs softwareversion [node_name]
Usage Notes
■ If you do not provide a node name, then Oracle Clusterware displays the version of Oracle Clusterware running on the local server.
Example
The crsctl query crs softwareversion command returns output similar to the following:
Oracle Clusterware version on node [node1] is [11.2.0.2.0]
—
crsctl query crs activeversion
Use the crsctl query crs activeversion command to display the active version and the
configured patch level of the Oracle Clusterware software running in the cluster. During a rolling upgrade, however, the active version is not advanced until the upgrade is finished across the cluster, until which time the cluster operates at the pre-upgrade version.
Additionally, during a rolling patch, the active patch level is not advanced until the patching is finished across the cluster, until which time the cluster operates at the pre-upgrade patch level.
Syntax
crsctl query crs activeversion [-f]
If you specify the -f parameter, then this command also prints the patch level for each configured node in the cluster.
Example
The crsctl query crs activeversion command returns output similar to the following:
$ crsctl query crs activeversion -f
Oracle Clusterware active version on the cluster is [12.1.0.0.2]. The cluster
upgrade state is [NORMAL]. The cluster active patch level is [456789126].
This is a question “69”
I think this is a tricky question, but if you read again the question it said “and its status” so that is the key…
the only answer that meet this request is the choice C,
the others didn’t mentioned this…
I believe it’s D.
A- Error
B – Error
Oracle Clusterware and Oracle ASM upgrades are always out-of-place upgrades. With Oracle Grid Infrastructure 11g Release 2 (11.2), you cannot perform an in-place upgrade of Oracle Clusterware and Oracle ASM to existing homes.
C Refers to activeversion and not softwareversion.
