You want to install Oracle Grid Infrastructure for a Standalone Server using Oracle Universal Installer (OUI). There is no existing Oracle installation on the server. Which two are prerequisites?…

Question

Options

• Aan operating system user to own this installation
• Bthe Oracle Inventory group to install
• Can operating system account called grid
• Da group called dba
• Ethe installation of Oracle ASMLIB

• A
  87% (26)
• C
  3% (1)
• D
  7% (2)
• E
  3% (1)

Explanation

Installing Oracle Grid Infrastructure for a Standalone Server requires an OS user to own the installation (A) - this is the software owner (commonly named grid or oracle, but the name is not mandated) - and the Oracle Inventory group (B) (oinstall by default), which OUI needs to track all Oracle software installed on the machine and manage the central inventory.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• C - The OS account does not have to be named grid; that is a convention, not a requirement. Any valid OS user can own the installation.
• D - The dba group is required for Oracle Database installations (to grant SYSDBA privilege), not for Grid Infrastructure standalone setup, where oinstall is the critical group.
• E - Oracle ASMLIB is an optional kernel driver that can simplify ASM disk management on Linux; it is not a prerequisite for OUI to install Grid Infrastructure.

Memory tip: Think of it as "Who installs it and where is it tracked?" - you always need an owner (A) and an inventory group (B). Named accounts like grid or groups like dba are common conventions but not hard requirements for OUI itself.
