Which two are true about Oracle Grid Infrastructure for a Standalone Server?

Question

Options

• AOracle Restart can be used without using ASM for databases.
• BOracle Restart can attempt to restart a failed ASM instance automatically.
• CIt must be installed before Oracle Database software is installed.
• DIt must be installed after Oracle Database software is installed.
• EIt allows ASM binaries to be installed without installing Oracle Restart.
• FIt allows Oracle Restart binaries to be installed without installing ASM.

Explanation

A is correct because Oracle Restart can manage and monitor Oracle Database instances even when storage is handled by the filesystem (no ASM required) - it's a high-availability component independent of storage choice. B is correct because one of Oracle Restart's primary functions is monitoring critical components like ASM instances and automatically restarting them upon failure, making it a key HA tool for standalone servers.

C is wrong because while installing Grid Infrastructure before Oracle Database is the recommended order (so the DB installer can register with Oracle Restart), it is not a hard "must" - the word makes it an absolute that Oracle doesn't enforce. D is wrong because it reverses the recommended order entirely; installing Grid Infrastructure after the database means the DB installation couldn't have registered with Oracle Restart automatically. E and F are both wrong for the same reason: Grid Infrastructure for a Standalone Server is a single unified installation that bundles Oracle Restart and ASM binaries together in the Grid home - you cannot selectively install one set of binaries without the other being present, even if you choose not to configure ASM.

Memory tip: Think of Grid Infrastructure as a single "package deal" - both components (Restart + ASM) always ship together, but you can use Restart without using ASM (A), and Restart's job includes babysitting ASM when it crashes (B).
