`mode`	Optional	Specifies the restart method to use when restarting services at the Grid level. You can select `GROUPED`, `SEQUENTIAL`, or `SIMULTANEOUS`.
`restart_option`	Optional	Controls whether services are restarted unconditionally or when needed. The default value is `RESTART_IF_NEEDED`.
`services`	Optional	Specifies the list of services to which the restart is applicable. The default value is `ALL`.
