TFA (Trace File Analyzer) is part of AHF (Autonomous Health Framework). Those tools are preinstalled and part of ODA (Oracle Database Appliance). As you might know patching and upgrading are normally always going through ODA global Bundle patches. AHF can, without any problem, be upgraded independently. In this blog I wanted to share with you how I upgraded TFA with latest v21.4 version. The upgrade is performed with root user. This version addresses CVE-2021-45105\/CVE-2021-44228\/CVE-2021-45046. For reminder Apache Log4j Vulnerabilities are covered by CVE-2021-44228 and CVE-2021-45046.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
First we can check if TFA is up and running and which version is currrently used.<\/p>\n
\n[root@ODA01 ~]# \/opt\/oracle\/dcs\/oracle.ahf\/bin\/tfactl status\nWARNING - TFA Software is older than 180 days.

As we can see we are currently running TFA\/AHF 20.1.3.0.0 version.<\/p>\n
Check running processes<\/h3>\n
We can check as well the TFA running processes.<\/p>\n
\n[root@ODA01 ~]# ps -ef | grep -i tfa | grep -v grep\nroot 4536 1 0 Oct18 ? 00:18:06 \/bin\/sh \/etc\/init.d\/init.tfa run >\/dev\/null 2>&1 <\/dev\/null\nroot 5388 1 0 Oct18 ? 02:55:07 \/opt\/oracle\/dcs\/oracle.ahf\/jre\/bin\/java -server -Xms512m -Xmx1024m -Djava.awt.headless=true -Ddisable.checkForUpdate=true -XX:HeapDumpPath=\/opt\/oracle\/dcs\/oracle.ahf\/data\/ODA01\/diag\/tfa -XX:ParallelGCThreads=5 oracle.rat.tfa.TFAMain \/opt\/oracle\/dcs\/oracle.ahf\/tfa\n[root@ODA01 ~]#\n<\/pre>\n<\/br><\/p>\n
Check the location of AHF<\/h3>\n
It is important to check in which directory AHF is currently installed in order to provide appropriate directory in the upgrade command option. Thus the setup script will be able to see that there is a current version installed and will suggest to upgrade it. Otherwise another new AHF installation will be performed.<\/p>\n
\n[root@ODA01 ~]# cat \/etc\/oracle.ahf.loc\n\/opt\/oracle\/dcs\/oracle.ahf\n<\/pre>\n<\/br><\/p>\n
AHF is installed on the ODA in the \/opt\/oracle\/dcs\/oracle.ahf directory.<\/p>\n
Backup of the current AHF version<\/h3>\n
Before doing any modification it is important to backup current AHF version for fallback if needed. I have been doing a tar of the currrent installation directory.<\/p>\n

Upgrade AHF on the ODA<\/h3>\n
In this part we will see the procedure to upgrade AHF on the ODA. We first need to unzip the AHF-LINUX_v21.4.0.zip file and run ahf_setup. The installation script will recognise the existing 20.1.3 version and suggest to upgrade it.<\/p>\n

After the upgrade script is completed there might still be some TFA processes running in order to rebuild the inventory :<\/p>\n

Make sure all those processes are completed successfully (not existing any more) before stopping AHF. Otherwise your inventory status will end with a STOPPED status.<\/p>\n
