What is updated by each "update" task during ODA patching

edited Oct 29, 2019 5:10AM in Oracle Database Appliance (ODA) (MOSC) 2 commentsAnswered ✓

I've just started preparation for rolling out the 18.7 release to our ODA estate and noticed some extra "update" steps.

e.g. The key stages to patching the ODA to 18.7 are :

update DCS agent

update DCS admin (new for 18.7)

update DCS components (new for 18.7)

update server

update storage

update db-home

I know what the "update server" and "update db-home" steps do but I don't have a clear idea of what is affected by the other steps and I can't find any clear documentation that details this.

Can anyone shed light on what the various "DCS" updates are impacting ?

Also, what does the "update storage" step actually do ? Is it applying firmware updates to the disks or modifying the ASM configuration to reflect the latest GI release etc. ?

Howdy, Stranger!
