Which of the following statements accurately describes the recommended procedure for patching Grid Infrastructure in a BaseDB VM system where the database is NOT managed by Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI)?
A.
Apply the Grid Infrastructure patch directly to the DB system. OCI handles the patching order for all components automatically.
B.
Apply the database patch first, then apply the Grid Infrastructure patch to ensure compatibility.
C.
Apply the Grid Infrastructure patch first, then apply the database patch, after validating the GI is working correctly.
D.
You cannot manually patch Grid Infrastructure in a BaseDB VM system; Oracle Cloud Infrastructure manages all patching operations.
In Oracle environments, it is crucial to patchGrid Infrastructure (GI) firstbecause GI components are responsible formanaging cluster resources and storage. Applying GI patches before database patches ensures that the underlying infrastructure is compatible and stable.
After the GI patching,validatethe environment to ensure all components are functioningcorrectly before proceeding with database software updates.
This order minimizes the risk ofdowntime or compatibility issues.
Why the other options are incorrect:
A:OCI does not automatically handle manual patching in non-managed DB systems.
B:Applying the database patch first may result in compatibility problems.
D:Users can manually patch Grid Infrastructure in BaseDB VMs.
