D. The database role indicated byFS_FAILOVER_STATUSas BYSTANDER implies that the database is a standby database in the Data Guard configuration. This means the database is neither a primary database nor an active failover target.
E. Since theFS_FAILOVER_OBSERVER_HOSTcolumn showscats, it suggests that this is the host on which the observer would run. However, because theFS_FAILOVER_OBSERVER_PRESENTcolumn is not shown, we cannot definitively state if the observer is currently connected or not. IfFS_FAILOVER_OBSERVER_PRESENTis 'YES', the observer is connected, if 'NO', then it's not. In the absence of this column's output, the best assumption based on the available data is that the observer is not connected.
The output shows that theFS_FAILOVER_STATUSisBYSTANDER, which indicates that the database in question is not actively involved in a fast-start failover configuration as a primary or standby. It is in a bystander role, meaning that while it is part of a Data Guard configuration, it is neither a target for failover nor actively participating in failover operations. Additionally,FS_FAILOVER_OBSERVER_HOSTshows 'cats', which indicates the host where the observer process is expected to run. However, since there is no information about the observer being present, we can infer that although 'cats' is designated for the observer to run, the observer is not currently connected to this database.
