Provisioning Oracle Grid Infrastructure Software
Fleet Patching and Provisioning has several methods to provision and, optionally, configure Oracle Grid Infrastructure and Oracle Restart homes.
Fleet Patching and Provisioning can provision and configure Oracle Grid Infrastructure on one or more nodes that do not currently have a Grid home, and then configure Oracle Grid Infrastructure to form a single-node or multi-node Oracle Grid Infrastructure installation.
Use the
rhpctl add workingcopy
command to install and
configure Oracle Grid Infrastructure, and to enable repeatable creation of standardized
deployments.
The Fleet Patching and Provisioning Server can also provision an Oracle Grid Infrastructure home to a node or cluster that is currently running Oracle Grid Infrastructure. The currently running Grid home can be a home that Fleet Patching and Provisioning did not provision (an unmanaged home) or a home that Fleet Patching and Provisioning did provision (a managed home).
You can also provision an Oracle Restart to a node in the cluster.
In either case, use the
-softwareonly
parameter of the rhpctl add workingcopy
command. This provisions but does not activate the new Grid home, so that when you are ready to switch to that new home, you can do so with a single command.
