Server Configuration Checklist for Oracle Fleet Patching and Provisioning
Use this checklist to check minimum server configuration requirements for Oracle Fleet Patching and Provisioning (Oracle FPP).
Table 3-1 Server Configuration Checklist for Oracle Fleet Patching and Provisioning
| Check | Task |
|---|---|
| Oracle Grid Infrastructure installation |
Install Oracle Grid Infrastructure on a new cluster on which you want to configure Oracle FPP. Note: The Oracle FPP Server needs an Oracle Clusterware installation, thus you can not configure Oracle FPP Server on an Oracle Restart server. |
| Operating System Kernel version |
Install or upgrade the operating system kernel to a version for which an Oracle ACFS kernel module is already built. |
| Metadata Repository configuration | The Oracle FPP Server provides two options for metadata repository
configuration:
|
| Oracle FPP server storage | Allocate a minimum of 100 GB additional disk space to the Oracle Automatic Storage Management (Oracle ASM) disk group that is used by the Oracle FPP Server. |
| Oracle FPP server network |
Create one Application VIP Managed by Oracle Clusterware. Note: The Highly Available Grid Naming Service feature of Grid Naming Service (GNS) in Oracle Grid Infrastructure is deprecated in Oracle Database 23ai. |
| Firewall | Make sure that the ports used by Oracle FPP Server and Client are not filtered by firewalls. Please refer to Table 2-2 Fleet Patching and Provisioning Communication Ports |
| Custom certificates | Optionally, create custom security certificates to specify during Oracle FPP Server or Oracle FPP Client setup for server-server and client-server communication. You can also change the security certificate after initial configuration. |
