Updating Components using the odacli
update-registry Command
FAQs about the odacli update-registry command.
What are the components affected when
specifying the system option with --component,-n in the
odacli update-registry command?
The system components are sysinstance,
gihome, and dbnode. The metadata related to these
component is updated in appliance registry metadata when you specify the
system option with --component,-n in the odacli
update-registry command.
What are the components are affected
when specifying the all option with --component,-n in the
odacli update-registry command?
When you specify all, the components updated are
DB, dbstorage, dbhome, and
asr. The metadata related to these component is updated in appliance
registry metadata when you specify the all option with
--component,-n in the odacli update-registry
command.
How does the odacli
update-registry command work?
The odacli update-registry command attempts to discover values
for different parameters corresponding to a component using comands such as
srvctl, crsctl, sqlplus, or operating
system commands. If the query succeeds and if the information is available, then the values
are written in the appliance registry. Note that the odacli update-registry
command does not configure or troubleshoot any component-related issues.
What are non-discoverable parameters?
Parameter values that cannot be discovered using commands such as
srvctl, crsctl, sqlplus, or operating
system commands are non-discoverable parameters. Refer to the Oracle
Database Appliance Deployment and User's Guide for your hardware model.
When do I use the
odacli update-registry command?
odacli
update-registry command to discover appliance registry metadata for components
dbhome and gihome after out-of-cycle patching.
Which values does
the odacli update-registry command modify?
dbshape, dbclass, and enableSEHA remain
the same in the metadata. If the registry metadata for parameters of any component is
incorrect, and the component is not mentioned in the Non Discoverable Parameters section, then
when you run the odacli update-registry command, the components are rediscovered and the
metadata is updated. Refer to the Oracle Database Appliance Deployment and
User's Guide for your hardware model for the values that are updated. You can update
the registry metadata of an individual database or dbstorage using the -u
option.
odacli update-registry command, then it remains the same after the
command is run. Contact Oracle Support in these cases.
What values does the
odacli update-registry command modify when the database option is
specified using the -n DB option?
odacli
update-registry command. For discovering databases that are migrated from outside
your Oracle Database Appliance deployment, use the odacli register-database
command. For information about migrating databases, see the Oracle Database
Appliance Deployment and User's Guide for your hardware model.
What values does the odacli
update-registry command modify when the database storage option is specified
using the -b dbstorage option?
The dbstorages for which the metadata already exists, can only be discovered
using the odacli update-registry command. For discovering dbstorage that is
migrated from outside your Oracle Database Appliance deployment, use the odacli
create-dbstorage command. The odacli create-dbstorage command
does not create another dbstorage, it discovers the values and stores the same in the
metadata. For Oracle ACFS dbstorage, it creates the file system, if required.
Can I manually modify or delete the
appliance registry metadata and then run the odacli update-registry command
to discover related information?
Erasing entries from the metadata and then using the odacli
update-registry command for discovery is not supported.
