Oracle Autonomous Health Framework (AHF) 24.7 Release Notes Summary

  • Store Exadata infrastructure credentials and details: The ahf configuration CLI can store Dom0, storage-server, and switch details securely in the AHF wallet. Best-practice checks then use this configuration for more complete Exadata rack analysis.
  • More efficient compliance checks: Orachk and Exachk now use SQL Agent connection pooling to reduce database-connection overhead. If SQL Agent causes issues, the -use_sqlplus option provides a fallback.
  • Update Java independently of AHF: Administrators can apply, query, and roll back JRE patches without upgrading the AHF framework, using commands such as ahfctl applyupdate and ahfctl rollbackupdate.
  • HAMI trace-file management: tfactl managelogs adds the -hami option to manage trace files from Oracle High Availability Metadata Infrastructure.
  • Improved Platinum operations: Platinum can query Dom0, storage-server, and switch data, enabling automated upgrades, best-practice checks, diagnostics, and service-request uploads with better understanding of rack component relationships.
  • New Insights Problem Summaries: AHF adds detection and remediation guidance for node evictions related to recovery-area or ASM-space shortages and MTU misconfiguration, plus ASM instance evictions caused by a failed network interface.
