Install Upgrade Software on Destination Oracle Database Security Central Audit Vault Server

  1. Download and Install Oracle Database Security Central onto new hardware.

    If your deployment uses both HDD and SAN storage, ensure that sufficient disk space is available on either storage type. For each disk group (EVENTDATA, SYSTEMDATA, and RECOVERY), allocate approximately 15% more disk space on the destination Audit Vault Server(s) than is available on the source Audit Vault Server. If you are configuring a primary and standby destination Audit Vault Server, ensure that both destination servers have the same disk space allocation for each disk group.

    Note: If you configure the source Audit Vault Server for high availability using a standby server and you want to continue operating in a high availability configuration after the upgrade, you must use a standby server to configure the destination Audit Vault Server for high availability before starting the upgrade.

    Continue with this upgrade process on the primary destination AVS for high availability configuration.

  2. Set up the destination AVS with the matching number of remote locations for data archiving as the source AVS.

    Only Network File System (NFS) is supported for remote locations for upgrade.

  3. Copy the upgrade RPM to the tmp directory of the destination Audit Vault Server by running the following command:

    scp <location of file>/dbsec-central-avs-destination-migrate-2.26.0.0.0.rpm <username>@<host-ip>:/tmp/dbsec-central-avs-destination-migrate-2.26.0.0.0.rpm
  4. Log in to the destination Audit Vault Server through SSH and switch to the root user.

  5. Install the DBSecCentral destination upgrade RPM onto the destination AVS by running the following command:

    dnf install /tmp/dbsec-central-avs-destination-migrate-2.26.0.0.0.rpm
  6. Get the latest version of the Autoupgrade tool from My Oracle Support, ID 2485457.1.

  7. Copy autoupgrade.jar to $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/ on the source AVS with the permission as -rw-r-----. 1 oracle oinstall autoupgrade.jar.

    1. Copy autoupgrade.jar in the tmp directory of the source Audit Vault Server from your host machine by running the following command:

      scp autoupgrade.jar support@<AVS_IPADDRESS>:/tmp/
    2. Log in to the source Audit Vault Server through SSH as the support user.

      ssh support@<audit_vault_server_ip_address>

      Switch to the root user.

      su - root

      Switch to the oracle user.

      su - oracle
    3. Copy the autoupgrade.jar file to $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/ by running the following command:

      cp /tmp/autoupgrade.jar $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/
    4. Set the file permissions by running the following command:

      /bin/install -m 0640 -o oracle -g oinstall /tmp/autoupgrade.jar $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/
    5. Verify the permissions by running the following command:

      ls -lrth autoupgrade.jar

      Sample Output:

      -rw-r-----. 1 oracle oinstall 6.3M Jul 13 07:00 autoupgrade.jar
