Patching Integrated Oracle Data Guard
This scenario describes patching a database with ODACLI that you configured
Oracle Data Guard with odacli configure-dataguard
or if you registered Oracle
Data Guard using odacli register-dataguard
.
Prerequisites:
- Patching individual Oracle databases on Oracle Database Appliance is available in Oracle Database Appliance release 19.17 and later.
- Server and optionally, storage are already patched to the latest version on the source and target Oracle Database Appliance bare metal system.
- If database runs on a DB system, the server level of DB system is patched to the latest release on the source and target systems.
- Repository is updated with the target database clone files on the source and target appliances.
Notes for patching server and storage:
- Patch server and storage on the standby Oracle Database Appliance, switchover the database, patch the former primary server and storage, switch back the database
- Server and storage prepatch reports provide information
about whether local patching is applicable. If local
patching is available, then patch the primary and
the standby server and storage in a rolling fashion:
node by node using the
--local
flag.
Follow these steps to patch the database:
- Create a new database home using the new database version on source and
target systems.
