patchVantage Cloud Starter Pack
- 1. patchVantage AWS Cloud Starter Pack 1 Some Oracle DBA knowledge is required The basic Cloud Demonstration covers some useful Database Administration tasks Apply the Jan 2017 Critical Patch Updates against 12.1.0.2.0 of the Oracle RDBMS Create a Snap Shot Database in a few minutes This document will walk you through the actual real-time operations. The purpose is to reveal important features quickly without launching into setup details.
- 2. Critical Patch Update(CPU) Contents 2 You can obtain and verify this information from My Oracle Support Document 2203916.1 The CPU consists of 3 patches : Opatch Upgrade with patch number 6880800 24732082 24917972
- 3. What is a Patch Group? 3 Real-life upgrades normally consist of multiple patches and scripts. The groups allow you to build the kind of complex solutions that are necessary Oracle These can then be applied against 100’s of Database or Application environments. In this example a system generated group “jan_cpu_2017_rdbms_121” will be used.
- 4. What is an Environment? 4 In our example we will use a pre-registered environment EC2_AMAZON_DB1_DB This is one of three actual Cloud Databases . We need to login to the application using credentials sent by e- mail. The term environment is commonly used to describe a Database or ApplicationThe product holds meta-data which it has collected from actual Oracle environments There are three types of environment• HOST(server) • DB(Database) • APPS(Application)
- 6. Dashboa rd 6 The first page displays a dashboard. This is covered in a separate tutorial
- 7. Navigati on 7 Use the MENU on the Left hand Side to navigate . There are 9 primary functions Import Data Import Patches , Environments etc. into the Product Setup Configure Patch Groups, Scripts or Monitoring Parameters Operations Perform Backups, Patching or Clones View Examine Concurrent Jobs and various Historical records User Portal Connect to Environments Administration Provision Users, set up credentials Reports Discover Environments, Compare Patch Levels etc. Utilities Download Patches, Migrate Data etc. Preferences Set User Defined Options
- 8. View Patches 8 • The patches displayed in the screen are those downloaded by the product or DBA • You can also download these patches to your PC and share them with your team. Begin touring the product by looking at the central location for patches Stored Patches Navigation: View - >
- 9. View Patch Group 9 Patch Groups Navigation: Setup - > Take a look at the structure of the “Patch Group” we are about to apply.
- 10. Operation : Launch Patches 10 Navigate to the Operations section: Operation s Deployments Each page has a brief explanation at the top. (Item level help also exists ) In order to execute a Patch or Script you need to enter the following:• Tier : DB • Environment : EC2_AMAZON_DB1_DB (The version and availability will appear ) • Type : group ( list appears as group , script , opatch and control ) • Value : jan_cpu_2017_121 Launch the process click clicking the button The following screens
- 12. Job ActivityAfter submitting a process its normal to check on the status using the Job Reporting ScreenUsing the Menu again we navigate View -> Active Jobs For example you can see that they are grouped under the job name PV5788. The sequence of events involves stopping the Database, downloading patches (if necessary), confirming the server is operational. The patches are then applied, the database is restarted and the 12c DataPatch executes any SQL Scripts.The patching is fully automated and log files are e-mailed to the user. 12
- 13. SNAP Clones 13 The next part of the demo shows easy it is to create a Thin Clone.This is achieved using a backup and the Oracle dbNFS functionality. Works on any Linux/UNIX Cloud Container Hardware Agnostic Uses fractional disk space even for 100TB databases Takes minutes to create Displaces the need for EMC or Exadata Hardware You can find more information about this type of Clone here: https://oracle-base.com/articles/11g/clonedb-11gr Unique Features
- 14. 14 Operation : Launch SNAP Clone Navigate to the Operations section • The Cloning page (below) requires the Cloning Template. This is pre-defined entity that provides information on what backup should be used and the location of the ORACLE_HOME • Its normally a good idea to generate a unique DBID but in our case simply click Operation s Clone RDBMS
- 15. Launched Clone You can see the process has been started. Once more we need to look at the Job Activity 15
- 16. 16 Clone Results • The new database was created in 11minutes. • You can repeat this process again to generate another unique clone. • The only real restriction is the amount of RAM on your Cloud Server
- 17. Quickly verify the SNAP Clone worked using the “User Portal” form. 17 View Environments • Use the menu on the Left Hand Side: • A new environment called snap418_DB has been create User Portal RDBMS Environments
