Lab 3 - Patch and Update
If you just completed Lab 2, the simulator should have two databases, db3 and db4.
For Lab 3, you will use the CLI to update the repository and BUI to update the Oracle Database Appliance infrastructure including the server. You will also use the web BUI to patch a database home from release 19.13 to 19.14, and upgrade a database from release 12.2 to 19.14.
Starting with Oracle Database Appliance release 19.11, patching of Oracle Database Appliance is out-of-place. The new Oracle Grid Infrastructure home will be placed on the local system/boot drive, and all new database homes will be placed on Oracle ACFS file system on the data drives. In an Oracle Database Appliance high-availability system, the database homes will be placed on the shared storage.
Note: on an actual Oracle Database Appliance, you may have to update the server repository and the DCS agent before updating the database and Oracle Grid Infrastructure clone files in the repositories. This is release dependent, so check the patching steps in the Oracle Database Appliance documentation first.
