Which statement accurately describes the patching process for Oracle Grid Infrastructure (GI) and ASM components on a BaseDB VM system when using user-managed patching?
B . Manual patching for GI and ASM:
In a user-managed environment, the DBA is responsible for downloading and applying patches for Grid Infrastructure (GI) and Automatic Storage Management (ASM).
These patches are distinct from database patches and need to be applied using tools like opatch or Oracle Universal Installer (OUI).
The process involves:
Downloading the patch from Oracle Support.
Staging the patch on the server.
Applying the patch using the appropriate commands.
Why the other options are incorrect:
A . Fully automated by OCI: OCI does not automatically patch GI and ASM in user-managed environments.
C . Integrated with database patching: GI and ASM patching is handled separately.
D . Required only during OS upgrade: Incorrect, as patching is required independently for security and stability.
