The conundrum I am facing is whether or not to prepend or append db_name for it’s specific environment.
For example, if db_name is hawk, then hawkprod, hawkqa, hawkdev, etc…
If the hosts have the specific environment, e.g. prodhost, qahost, devhost, then isn’t hawk database on qahost a qa database?
Understandably, every organizations have different requirements and conventions as there’s no one size fits all.
One thing to consider is consistency for easy automation.
So there I was, preparing to patch 8-nodes RAC cluster and thinking how can I make this easier and automated.
First thought was to have a consistent method to source RAC GI/DB.
Once that is done, create shell script to apply the patch.
Patching VM can take hours and too lazy to copy and paste all the commands.
Just run the script and be done with it. I could have scripted patching to loop through all instances vs running them individually per host.
[root@racnode-dc1-1 ~]# /media/patch/jan2019_patch_28833531.sh [root@racnode-dc1-2 ~]# /media/patch/jan2019_patch_28833531.sh
Have I deployed this in real life? Not to the extreme where everything is scripted because there are too many inconsistencies across environments.
Framework and demo.
