Understanding how ODA patches databases using "out-of-place patching model"

in Oracle Database Appliance (ODA) (MOSC) 1 commentAnswered ✓

We are on x8-2s and running 19.20. As of a few releases ago ODA uses the out-of-place patching model. Please correct me if I am wrong but it appears that this significantly reduces downtime for the database/s being patched since patching the database appears to re-configure the database to a new database home that is all ready for it. So, I've observed the following:

  1. "odacli create-prepatchreport..." creates the new database home.
  2. "odacli update-dbhome..." configures the database to use the new home.

Using this method seems to keep the database downtime to a minimum.
