A few years back I had the great opportunity to test Nutanix NDB, at that time called Nutanix Era, and I had written a few blogs about provisioning Oracle databases, taking snapshot, log catchup, cloning a database, restoring a database, aso… and see interaction with Oracle Database itself. But I was not able, at that time, to test the patching of Oracle databases. I recently had the chance to get a new environment and I finally had the opportunity to test the patching of Oracle databases. I would like to share with you my experience and show you how easy the patching is with Nutanix NDB. You will be able to see the advantage that Nutanix NDB offers to you in term of database’s patching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Template VM patching<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I have been initially creating a template VM with Oracle 19.3.0.0.190416 version, named MAW-Oracle19cSource-19.3.0.0.190416, used only as reference to create the software profile and provisioned several oracle databases on several VMs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have then cloned the same template, to create a new VM that I called MAW-Oracle19cSource-19.21.0.0.231017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I manually patched Oracle version for Oracle RDBMS and Oracle Grid on the new template VM MAW-Oracle19cSource-19.21.0.0.231017 from version 19.3 to last version 19.21.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Version of grid before patching the template:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Checking on prism we can see the 2 templates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Register new template VM<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
We now need to register the new MAW-Oracle19cSource-19.21.0.0.231017 VM into Nutanix NDB. For this we will go in the Database Server VMs<\/mark> menu and from the submenu List<\/mark> we will click the +Register<\/mark> button, and choose Oracle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
And fill all needed information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
We can ignore next missing dependencies, knowing sshpass is only required for Oracle RAC patching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
In the Operations<\/mark> menu, we can check the progression of the registration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Finally, from the DB Server VMs<\/mark> menu, we can see our new VM template being registered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Update existing software profile<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
We now need to update existing software profile with new 19.21 template. All previous databases and VMs have been provisioned with this software profile, named MAW-Oracle19c. This will give the ability to patch to 19.21 the Oracle databases been deployed with this software profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Going to the Profiles<\/mark> menu, Software<\/mark> submenu, we can see and select concerned software profile named MAW-Oracle19c.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Chose the button +Create<\/mark> to update your software profile by creating a new version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Provide a name for the version and select the new VM template which has been recently patched to version 19.21.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Give some notes for the new OS version, grid version and oracle home version. Operating System version? Yes, because we could also in mean time use Nutanix NDB to easily patch the OS of the VM!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
From the Operations<\/mark> menu, we can follow the progress of creating the Software Profile version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Checking Software Profile Versions in use<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
From the same Profiles<\/mark> menu, Software<\/mark> submenu, clicking on our profile we can see the number of database servers using each version. In our case, we have 5 database servers (initially deployed) using the 19.3 version and 0 so far using the new 19.21 version. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Publish the new Software Profile version<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Entering the concerned Software Profile, we see the same with more details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
We will click on the  update<\/mark> button on profile 2.0 version (the one we just created) to publish it and make it available for recommended patches. 
Do not forget to select the check box : By publishing this version of the software profile, I understand that NDB will recommend that all databases using an earlier versions of this software profile should update to this new version. The recommendation will appear on the Database Server VM home page.<\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
The new 2.0 version is now in Published<\/mark> version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Check Database Server VMs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
In Database Server VMs<\/mark> Menu, List submenu, we see the list of all VMs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Selecting and entering one of the initial deployed VMs, we see that there is now a recommended new version that can be applied, the new 19.21 we just created.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Let’s ssh TEST1-VM, check Oracle dbhome version and connect to the TEST1 database to check current version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
We will chose to patch it now. Confirmation needs to be given by giving the name for the Database Server VM, here MAW-Brewtanix-TEST1-VM. Click the Update<\/mark> button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
