3.1.6 Compare Configuration Across Two Different systems

Starting in release 23.1, you can compare configuration across two different systems.

For example:
  • Primary vs Standby
  • Test vs Production
  • Heathy vs Unhealthy system
Run Oracle Orachk/Oracle Exachk on both systems and then pass both resulting zip to the -diff option to show configuration sections:
  1. Different values for same configuration/parameter
  2. Unique values found only in first system
  3. Unique values found only in second system
  4. Common values in both systems
Use the new configuration comparison as follows:
orachk -diff {compliance collection zip1} {compliance collection zip2} -force -showallcomparison
exachk -diff {compliance collection zip1} {compliance collection zip2} -force -showallcomparison

-showallcomparison: Use this option to generate comparisons for all targets across different configurations, including database servers, storage servers, switches, ASM, patches, and more. Without this argument, the command compares only one target of each type, for example, one database server, one storage server, one switch, and so on.

Note:

This option can only be used with the -force option in the -diff command.
