Patching Oracle Database Using Oracle FPP Local Mode

Use this procedure to patch Oracle Database using Oracle Fleet Patching and Provisioning (Oracle FPP) Local Mode.

  1. Deploy an Oracle Database home using Oracle FPP Local Mode.
    $ rhpctl deploy home -path /u01/app/oracle/product/23.6.0/dbhome_1 -zip /tmp/images/db_home.zip -sourcehome /u01/app/oracle/product/23.0.0/dbhome_1
  2. Switch from the old Oracle Database home to the new Oracle Database home using Oracle FPP Local Mode.
    $ rhpctl move database -desthome /u01/app/oracle/product/23.6.0/dbhome_1 –sourcehome /u01/app/oracle/product/23.0.0/dbhome_1

    Note:

    • During Oracle FPP Local Mode patching, you must run the patching command only on one node. The patching completes automatically on all other nodes.
    • If any command fails in the first run, then you must re-run the command from the same node where it was started initially.
