The CTO of your company recently heard about a feature, GNS, which can be used in an
Oracle RAC environment. He has asked you to start converting the current environment
to use this feature. Which three items need to be conveyed to the network administrator
to implement GNS?
Because each cluster should have its own GNS, it must be allocated a unique
domain on which it can run.
The GNS daemon listens on the GNS VIP using port 53 for DNS requests.
If the server on which GNS is running fails, Oracle Clusterware fails GNS
over, along with the GNS VIP, to another node in the cluster.
Both GNS daemon and the GNS VIP run on seperate node in the server cluster.

Nodes that are evicted from the cluster do not require a restart, only a cluster
software restart.
If a Hub node fails, the node is evicted from the cluster and services are relocated
to other Hub nodes if possible.
Leaf nodes that are associated with failed Hub nodes are not evicted from
the cluster.
If a Leaf node fails, the node is evicted from the cluster and its services are
relocated to another Leaf node where possible.
The effect of a Leaf node failure is usually contained within the group of Leaf
nodes connected to the same Hub node.
