Changes in Oracle Database Appliance Release 19.32.0.1.0

Understand how you can update your Oracle Database Appliance deployment to Oracle Database Appliance monthly update 19.32.0.1.0.

Changes in Oracle Database Appliance Release 19.32.0.1.0

Download and use server patch 39904249 to update your Oracle Database Appliance deployment to Oracle Database Appliance monthly update 19.32.0.1.0.

Following are the changes in this Oracle Database Appliance monthly update:

  • This release contains fixes for addressing critical CVEs related to Oracle Linux and the Oracle Database Appliance software stack.
  • The updated component versions in this Oracle Database Appliance monthly update are:
    • jackson-core 2.21.5
    • jackson-databind 2.21.5
    • jackson-jaxrs-json-provider 2.21.5
    • Micronaut 3.10.10-1
    • MySQL 8.4.11
    • Oracle SQLcL 26.2.0
    Refer to the Component Versions topic in this Oracle Database Appliance Release Notes to view the component versions for all other components.
  • There are no firmware updates in this monthly update. Hence, no firmware updates are applied when you run the odacli update-servercomponents command.
  • There are no shared firmware updates in this release. Hence, you do not need to run the odacli update-storage command when you patch the server.
  • When you run the odacli update-servercomponents command, critical CVE fixes for Oracle Linux are applied. Kernel updates are applied through uptrack-updates, making the effective kernel version 5.15.0-322.203.3.4.5.el8uek.
  • You can apply all of the operating system updates in this monthly patch without a restart of the system. To apply these updates, run the odacli update-servercomponents command with the --no-reboot,-nr option. If you run the odacli update-servercomponents command without the --no-reboot,-nr option, then the system is restarted after all the updates are applied.

    Refer to step 6 in the Procedure to patch to Oracle Database Appliance Release 19.30.0.2.0 topic below for more details.

  • This monthly update can be applied to both the bare metal and DB systems currently running Oracle Database Appliance release 19.32.0.0.0 or 23.26.3.0.0. Also, after applying this update to the bare metal system, new DB systems can be provisioned using the 19.32.0.1.0 or 23.26.3.1.0 DBVM template available as part of this release.
  • For both bare metal and DB systems, the supported path to patch to Oracle Database Appliance release 19.32.0.1.0 is as follows:
    • Provision a system on Oracle Database Appliance Release 19.32 and then patch to Oracle Database Appliance release 19.32.0.1.0.
    • Patch an existing system running Oracle Database Appliance release 19.32 to Oracle Database Appliance release 19.32.0.1.0.
  • For more information about the monthly patches and how to apply them, see the About Applying Monthly Patches on Oracle Database Appliance topic in Oracle Database Appliance Deployment and User's Guide for your hardware model.

Procedure to patch to Oracle Database Appliance Release 19.32.0.1.0

To apply this patch, ensure that your deployment is on Oracle Database Appliance release 19.32.

Following are the steps to update your deployment to Oracle Database Appliance release 19.32.0.1.0.
  1. Download the Oracle Database Appliance release 19.32.0.1.0 server zip file from the specified location to your local appliance.
  2. Register the server zip file:
    /opt/oracle/dcs/bin/odacli update-repository -f location_of_the_serverzip
  3. Update DCS admin:
    /opt/oracle/dcs/bin/odacli update-dcsadmin -v 19.32.0.1.0
  4. Update DCS components:
    /opt/oracle/dcs/bin/odacli update-dcscomponents -v 19.32.0.1.0
  5. Generate the prepatch report for the server components:
    /opt/oracle/dcs/bin/odacli create-prepatchreport -sc -v 19.32.0.1.0
  6. Update the server components:
    /opt/oracle/dcs/bin/odacli update-servercomponents -nr -v 19.32.0.1.0

    In the above example, when you apply the updates using the --no-reboot,-nr option, Oracle Clusterware is not shut down on either of the nodes, and none of the nodes is restarted after the update is complete. If the --no-reboot,-nr option is not used, Oracle Clusterware is brought down and the system is restarted on the completion of the patching operation. Use the --local,-l or the --node-name,-nn option to patch the server on each node in a rolling fashion.

For Oracle Database 19c and Oracle AI Database 26ai features, see the Oracle Database Documentation Library at https://docs.oracle.com/en/database/oracle/oracle-database/index.html.

The following new features are available in this release:

  • Provisioning and patching of Oracle Database Appliance bare metal deployments, KVM, and DB systems

    This release supports provisioning and patching of bare metal deployments, KVM, and DB systems with Oracle Database Appliance release 19.32 on X11-HA, X11-L, X11-S, X10-HA, X10-L, X10-S, X9-2-HA, X9-2L, X9-2S, X8-2-HA, X8-2M, and X8-2S.

    See the chapter Provisioning Oracle Database Appliance Bare Metal System in the Oracle Database Appliance Deployment and User's Guide for your hardware model.

  • Support for Oracle AI Database 26ai and 19c databases on Oracle Database Appliance DB systems

    This release supports creation of databases of Oracle AI Database 26ai and 19c databases on DB systems. The version is specified in the DB system JSON payload, with the attribute version for database. When you provision DB system of release 26ai, then you cannot provision any other database versions, such as 19c in the DB system at the same time.

    For details on the JSON file changes for creating Oracle AI Database 26ai and 19c databases on DB systems, see the Oracle Database Appliance Deployment and User's Guide for your hardware model.

  • Support for creating network using vnetwork

    Oracle Database Appliance allows you to create a network shared by DB systems and the bare metal system.

    For complete details about this feature, see the topic About Creating Network from vNetwork in the Oracle Database Appliance Deployment and User's Guide.

  • Support for patching multiple databases in parallel

    Starting with Oracle Database Appliance release 19.32, you can create prepatch reports and patch multiple databases at the same time, that is, in parallel. To patch multiple databases in parallel, the system login limit, that is the maxlogin value must be set to 100 or higher.

    For complete details about this feature, see the Oracle Database Appliance Deployment and User's Guide for your hardware model.

  • Modify SCAN and listener ports on Oracle Database Appliance using ODACLI commands and BUI

    Oracle Database Appliance allows modifications to SCAN and listener port on bare metal systems using ODACLI commands and BUI.

    For complete details about this feature, see the topic Updating a Network in the Oracle Database Appliance Deployment and User's Guide for your hardware model.

  • Deprecation of STIG on Oracle Database Appliance

    Oracle Database Appliance is hardened by default to align with Security Technical Implementation Guide (STIG) standards. The security of the system is further strengthened through the implementation of SCAP controls, delivering an out-of-the-box pass rate of over 90% on all SCAP-automated STIG checks. With this native SCAP integration, the legacy OLSS-based STIG scripts are now marked as deprecated and may be removed in a future release of Oracle Database Appliance software.

  • ODACLI Command Enhancements

    There are changes to ODACLI command options in this release. Use the --help option with a command to view the supported options for the command in this release.
