RHP What is it ?

Rapid Home Provisioning – What is it ?
Standardized Tool for provisioning, patching and Upgrade Oracle Grid Infrastructure,
Oracle RDBMS and custom Software
Improve performance, efficiency and simplifies the software deployment process
Automate the software provisioning from a centralized provisioning Server
Helps to save time for provisioning, patching and upgrade software deployment

RHP Requirements

Rapid Home Provisioning – Prerequisites
Rapid Home Provisioning is part of Grid Infrastructure (GI) 12c
– GI is mandatory for provision with RHP  Oracle Restart not supported !
Deployments Works even in a "non" GI Cloud Environment !
–  only for RDBMS and third Party SW !
Not supported on HP-UX and Windows Plattform
Does not manage OS Images 
Provisioning based on ACFS Snapshot and NFS
GNS Server
NFS Daemon must be run on each Server provided by RHP
License
– Lifecycle Management Pack (12’000 $ / CPU Core)

RHP Setup

RHP Setup – ASM and GNS Config
ASM Diskgroup ACFS compatible parameter
Configure GNS Server adding following to DNS Record File
Add GNS to Cluster
alter diskgroup data set attribute 'compatible.advm'='12.1';
$ORIGIN rac.trivadis.com.
@ IN NS gns.rac.trivadis.com.
gns IN A 192.168.56.201
[root@sonic01 named]# /u01/app/12.2.0/grid/bin/srvctl add gns -domain
rac.trivadis.com -vip 192.168.56.201
[root@sonic01 named]# /u01/app/12.2.0/grid/bin/srvctl start gns

RHP Setup – Mountpoint Directory and add RHP Server
On RHP Server
create a folder on all Cluster Member
Add Storage and start the RHP Server
[root@sonic01 app]# mkdir /rhpdir
[root@sonic01 app]# chown oracle:oinstall /rhpdir
/u01/app/12.2.0/grid/bin/srvctl add rhpserver -storage /rhpdir
-diskgroup DATA
/u01/app/12.2.0/grid/bin/srvctl start rhpserver

RHP Setup – Add Images
Add Images to RHP Server (Example GI 12.2.0.x)
[oracle@sonic01 ~]$ rhpctl import image -image gi_12201_V0100 -path /u01/app/12.2.0/grid/ -imagetype
ORACLEGISOFTWARE -state TESTABLE
sonic02: Creating a new ACFS file system for image "gi_12201_V0100" ...
sonic02: Copying files...
sonic02: Copying home contents...
sonic02: Changing the home ownership to user oracle...
sonic01: Transferring data to 1 nodes
sonic01: 10% complete
[oracle@sonic01 ~]$

Add Images to RHP Server (Example RDBMS 12.2.0.x)
[oracle@sonic01 database]$ rhpctl import image -image rdbms_12201_V0100 -path
/u01/app/oracle/product/12.2.0/dbhome_1 -imagetype ORACLEDBSOFTWARE -state TESTABLE
sonic02: Creating a new ACFS file system for image "rdbms_12201_V0100" ...
sonic02: Copying files...
sonic02: Copying home contents...
sonic01: Transferring data to 1 nodes
[oracle@sonic01 database]$

On Filesystem we will have such a situation:
Images are registered on RHP Server
[oracle@sonic01 ~]$ df -h

RHP Setup – add Client
Add Client is optional but required for some actions
HAVIP is needed !!!
On RHP Server create clientdata File
An XML File will be generated named floyd.xml
Copy the clientdata to RHP Client
Add Client on RHP Client
Start RHP Client
srvctl startrhpclient -node sonic03
[root@sonic01 ~]# /u01/app/12.1.0.2/grid/bin/srvctl add havip -id rhp /

rhpctl add client -client floyd -toclientdata /home/oracle
rhpctl add client -client floyd -targetnode sonic03 -root

RHP Provisioning

available possibilities
– NFS (only for RDBMS Home)
• the path for RDBMS Home will be provided as NFS mount point
– Local
• The path will be provided in a local file system
– RHP Managed (NFS managed by RHP)  default if it is possible !
• The path will stored in a ACFS shared file system
• Not usable for Grid Infrastructure Provisioning
[oracle@sonic01 database]$ rhpctl add workingcopy –rdbms_12201_WC02 -image rdbms_12201_V0100
–storagetype NFS
–storagetype RHP_MANAGED
–storagetype LOCAL

RHP Setup – Grid Infrastructure Provisioning
Possible to install, configure, patch and upgrade
– for provisioning with configure you need to create a GI response file
Check where the working copy was provisioned
rhpctl add workingcopy -workingcopy gi_12201_wc01 -image gi_12201_V0100 -responsefile
/home/oracle/floyd.rsp -path /u01/app/12.2.0/grid -root
[oracle@sonic01 ~]$ rhpctl query workingcopy -workingcopy gi_12201_wc01
Working copy name: gi_12201_wc01
Groups configured in the working copy: OSDBA=asmdba,OSOPER=asmoper,OSASM=asmadmin
Owner: oracle@floyd
Site: floyd  my cluster name
Access control: USER:oracle@floyd
Access control: USER:oracle@sonic
Access control: ROLE:GH_WC_ADMIN
Software home path: /u01/app/12.2.0/grid
Storage type: LOCAL  provisioning storage type
Image Type: ORACLEGISOFTWARE
Software only: false
Gold image path:
Work path:
Cluster Name: floyd
Cluster Type: FLEX
Cluster Mode: FLEX
Cluster Class: STANDALONE
Cluster Nodes: sonic03,sonic04  my cluster member where it was provisioned Grid Infrastructure
All patches available in this home:
Additional patches compared to the image:
Additional bug fixes that are not in the image:
Complete: FALSE

RHP Setup – RDBMS Provisioning and create Database
Possible to install, configure, patch and upgrade (same as on GI)
– for provisioning with configure you need to create a GI response file
Create a single instance database
– SYS and SYSTEM password will be setted randomly and to change afterward
rhpctl add workingcopy -workingcopy rdbms_12201_WC02 -image rdbms_12201_V0100 -path
/u01/app/oracle/product/12.2.0/dbhome_1 -oraclebase /u01/app/oracle -user oracle -client floyd
[oracle@sonic01 ~]$ rhpctl add database -workingcopy rdbms_12201_WC02 -dbname TVD01 -node sonic03 -
dbtype SINGLE -datafileDestination DATA

RHP Setup –Provisioning of 3rd party Software
Possible to install, configure, patch and upgrade  it depends on your Action
Scripts !
– Depending on which kind of Software you want deploy and which action is needed for
installing and configuring you must create Action Scripts
Example deploying TVD-Basenv
– Action Script install-TVD-basenv.ksh starts the Basenv installer with responsefile and
execute the installation in silent mode
– Action should be executed as post action after Working Copy was deployed
Create a Imagetype based on type Software for TVD-Basenv
Create an Image for TVD-Basenv (Base SW was only copied not installed)
rhpctl add useraction -useraction Install-TVD-Basenv -actionscript /home/oracle/basenv/install-TVD-
basenv.sh -post -optype ADD_WORKINGCOPY -onerror ABORT
rhpctl add imagetype -imagetype TVD-Basenv-type -basetype SOFTWARE -useractions "Install-TVD-Basenv"
rhpctl import image -image TVD-Basenv-17.05 -path /home/oracle/basenv -imagetype TVD-Basenv-type

RHP Setup –Provisioning of 3rd party Software
Deployment of TVD-Basenv with Working Copy
– The software will be copied to /home/oracle/basenv directory
– Due to the imagetype was adopted with an user action that should run as post deployment,
after the deployment the software will be installed
DEMO
rhpctl add workingcopy -workingcopy TVD-Basenv-17.05_WC01 -image TVD-Basenv-17.05 -path
/home/oracle/basenv -node sonic03 -user oracle -root

Grid Infrastructure
Managment Repository
(GIMR)

GIMR and RHP
RHP Metadata are stored on GIMR (-MGMTDB)
-MGMTDB is a Container Database (CDB)
– Number of PDBs is depending on how many Options are installed
– All named GIMR_DSCREP_xx (DSCREP=Domain Service Cluster Repository)
RHP Schema is GHSUSER12201
SQL> show pdbs
CON_ID CON_NAME OPEN MODE RESTRICTED

Conclusion

Rapid Home Provisioning – Conclusion
☺ Simple to set up
☺ nice built-in in Grid Infrastructure
☺ sufficient functionality for managing provisioning
☺ All tested scenarios worked as expected
☺ Thin Documentation
☺ GI_Home Provisioning
☺ Single Server Provisioning
☺ Cleanup of Metadata on MGMTDB works much better than with 12.1.x
 No clear statement about needed space requirements
 DB_Home via NFS is no more available when RHP Servers are down
