Explanation:
B: . If fast-start failover is enabled, the observer will automatically reinstate the standby databases after failover has completed.
E: FastStartFailoverAutoReinstate= 'FALSE' means that the former primary database will not be reinstated automatically after a failover, Note: The FastStartFailoverAutoReinstate configuration property causes the former primary database to be automatically reinstated if a fast-start failover was initiated because the primary database was either isolated or had crashed. To prevent automatic reinstatement of the former primary database in these cases, set this configuration property to FALSE.
The observer is the third party in an otherwise typical primary/standby Data Guard configuration. Only the observer can initiate FSFO failover. It's secondary job is to automatically reinstate a failed primary as a standby if that feature is enabled (the default).
Incorrect Answers:
A: The observer is running.
B: Sheep is neither the primary database, nor the failover target.
D: By default, the observer will initiate failover to the target standby if and only if ALL of the following are true:
* observer is running
* observer and the standby both lose contact with the primary
Note: if the observer loses contact with the primary, but the standby does not, the observer can determine that the primary is still up via the standby.
* observer is still in contact with the standby
* durability constraints are met
* failover threshold timeout has elapsed
