If you have OS Provisioning profiles in a version of Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center earlier than 12c Release 2, use the Upgrade feature to upgrade to Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center 12.2 and automatically upgrade the profiles to the new format.
The software upgrade feature automatically migrates the OS Provisioning profiles to an OS Provisioning profile and an OS Configuration profile. The original names of the migrated profiles are appended with osp or osc.
In addition to updating the profiles, existing deployment plans that use an OS Provisioning profile are also updated to use the new OS Provisioning and OS Configuration profiles. Migrating to the new format does not change the version number of the profile or plan.
For every OS provisioning profile created in Oracle Enterprise Manager Ops Center 12.1, a new OS Provisioning profile and a new OS Configuration profile are created in the 12.2 release. The new profiles have the following naming convention: <12.1_profile_name>-osp and <12.1_profile_name>_osc respectively. Each profile is version one. For example, an OS Provisioning profile is named S11_SPARC_LargeServer in the 12.1 release. In the 12.2 release, the profile is converted into the following two profiles: S11_SPARC_LargeServer_osp and S11_SPARC_LargeServer_osc. The original profile S11_SPARC_LargeServer is deleted.
In the 12.1 release, both bare metal provisioning and logical domain guest provisioning were done using the same profiles. Beginning with 12.2, you can only provision a guest with the Logical Domain profile sub-type. When you upgrade from release 12.1 to release 12.2, a new Logical Domain profile is created for each Oracle Solaris 11 bare metal provisioning profile that was created in 12.1. The release 12.1 logical domain OS Provisioning profile is converted in the 12.2 release to a new logical domain OS Provisioning profile and a new OS Configuration profile and the original profile is deleted. The new profiles use the following naming convention: <12.1_profile_name>-logicaldomain-osp and <12.1_profile_name>-logicaldomain-osc respectively. For example, an OS Provisioning profile is named S11_SPARC_LargeServer in the 12.1 release. In the 12.2 release, the profile is converted into the following two profiles: S11_SPARC_LargeServer_osp and S11_SPARC_LargeServer_osc.
The deployment plans conversion is similar to the profile conversion. New deployment plans are created from the old plans, the plan version is updated, and the plan name is prefixed with <12.1_plan_name>. For example, the name for the new logical domain plan is <12.1_plan_name>-logicaldomain-osp-plan. The new plans use the new OS Provisioning and OS Configuration profiles. For Provision OS plans, the just the version of the 12.1 plan is updated and the OS Provisioning and OS Configuration profiles are added to the plan.
