I’m curious to know how many are using Rapid Home Provisioning in their organization and how you are using it. Have you compared RHP to Database Fleet Maintenance? Are you considering using Database Fleet Maintenance to patch and upgrade your databases over RHP?
We have been using RHP for roughly the past year. In our environment, RHP is used mainly to provision Oracle Homes for our databases and to create the databases (CDBs). Our original plan was to use it for database patching as well. The creation of Oracle Home images and working copies has worked well overall across our various clusters. However, the performance of the working copy creation is not good. The process runs over 90 minutes in a four node cluster. It runs much longer in our larger clusters. The database creation process works, but in some cases we wish we had more customization options. The database patching (“rhpctl move database”) has been very buggy in our environment. Given the various issues we have with RHP, we are considering a switch to Database Fleet Maintenance.
I’m at OOW this week. If you’d like to meet up to discuss it further, send me a message.
Thanks,
Mike
