OCI Database Cloud Patching of Database & Infrastructure With CLI
by Abhilash Kumar on Dec 1, 2021 9:28:00 AM
Oracle Patching of Databases (DB) and Grid Infrastructure (GI) is a routine and recommended process for any Oracle database. It’s no different in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). In fact, OCI makes it even easier for DBAs to patch the required Oracle Homes.
This post will show you how to patch a OCI DB System via OCI .
For clarity, in the OCI Database Cloud Service (DBCS) the GI software stack is considered part of the DB system and is referenced as such in the web console.
Note: The below article assumes that:
- Access to Oracle Cloud tenancy exists and all examples are referred via OCI CLI.
- The reader is familiar with OCI CLI (Command Line Interface). If you’re new to OCI CLI, I suggest you check out my earlier post to get started on OCI CLI: https://blog.pythian.com/the-ocidtab-a-solution-to-make-oci-cli-scripting-easier
- For further reference OCI CLI, check out the following Pythian blogs for some very useful information: https://blog.pythian.com/installing-oci-command-line-utilities-in-linux-and-windows/; https://blog.pythian.com/oracle-database-cloud-service/
While the same patching process could also be completed using the OCI web console, patching using the OCI CLI makes the process more consistent and repeatable.This might be especially important if many systems need to be patched using automation tooling.
A word about “dbcli”
The “dbcli” is a utility available in Database VM and Bare Metal systems which can be used to check the current and available patches for the components Installed. (Dbcli is specific to OCI DBCS and is not available in on-premises Oracle implementations or with other OCI Oracle Database services.) We will use the dbcli to check the versions and monitor the status patching. The “dbcli” needs to run as the root user of the DB system (dbcli by itself has several features which will not be covered in this blog).
We'll assume the DB/GI system we have in OCI is 11g DB/19c GI, which is the minimum required for customers still on a 11g database and are looking to move to OCI DBCS. (The GI release needs to match or exceed the DB release and for the DBCS service, the most recent stable release is chosen automatically. You can’t choose a specific release.)
Before patching to a higher version of the DB system, we need to identify the version in use, like the DB and GI versions of an OCI database system shown below:
[root@ocilabhost01 ~]# dbcli describe-component
System Version
---------------
21.2.3.0.0
Component Installed Version Available Version
---------------------------------------- -------------------- --------------------
GI 19.11.0.0.0 19.12.0.0
DB 11.2.0.4.210420 11.2.0.4.210720
As we can see above, a new version is available for both the DB and the GI software.
GI patching
We’ll need to identify the DB system OCID we have created for the 11g(DB) / 19c(GI). Each database system will have a unique OCID identified with it. Once the DB system OCID is identified, we’ll need to identify what patches are available.
Note that OCI calls the GI patching a DB system patch and not explicitly as a GI patch; in this case, we’ll search for the July 19c DB system patch and identify the OCID for this patch. Also, note that OCI makes the patches available automatically for DBCS, so you don't need to manually download patches from My Oracle Support like you would for on-premises databases.
### Set up the Dev Environment variables
$ . ~/.DEV-ocidtab
### DB System OCID
$ export DB_SYSTEM_OCID=$(oci db system list -c $COMP_OCID --profile DEV --query "data[?contains(\"hostname\",'ocilabhost01')].{id:id}" | jq -r '.[]."id"');echo $DB_SYSTEM_OCID
ocid1.dbsystem.oc1.iad.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
### DB System Patch OCID
$ export DB_SYSTEM_PATCH=$(oci db patch list by-db-system --db-system-id $DB_SYSTEM_OCID --profile DEV --all --query "data[?contains(\"description\",'Jul 2021 19c Db System patch')]" | jq -r '.[]."id"');echo $DB_SYSTEM_PATCH
ocid1.dbpatch.oc1.iad.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
# NOTE : That even though we are patching the GI the patch OCID values are always references as ocid.dbpatch.x.x.x in the OCI value , the patch naming
# Does not differentiate between a DB Patch and a GI Patch
### Identify the the DB System Patch that is required
$ oci db patch list by-db-system --db-system-id $DB_SYSTEM_OCID --profile DEV --all
{
"data": [
{
"available-actions": [
"APPLY",
"PRECHECK"
],
"description": "Jul 2021 19c Db System patch",
"id": "ocid1.dbpatch.oc1.iad.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",

"version": "19.12.0.0.210720"
}
]
}
From the above we can see the patch options (“available-actions”) available are PRECHECK and APPLY. As always, we run a precheck to ensure the patching requirements are appropriate. The following shows how we run the precheck after identifying the OCIS of the DB system and the patches:
--- Running Prechecks
$ oci db system patch --db-system-id $DB_SYSTEM_OCID --patch-action PRECHECK --patch-id $DB_SYSTEM_PATCH --profile DEV

}
}
The use of “dbcli listjobs” would show the precheck is completed:
--- Check Current GI Version for ocilabhost01
$ oci db system list -c $COMP_OCID --profile DEV --output table --query "data[?contains(\"hostname\",'ocilabhost01')].{hostname:hostname,verson:version}"

Applying the GI patch is done by using the APPLY clause. (However, during the patching process, the entire database will be unavailable.)

Checking components versions we see the that the GI part of the DB system patch is now up to date:
[root@ocilabhost01 ~]# dbcli describe-component
System Version
---------------
21.2.3.0.0
Component Installed Version Available Version

GI 19.12.0.0.0 up-to-date
DB 11.2.0.4.210420 11.2.0.4.210720
DB patching
Moving on to the database patching the method of identifying the relevant patches, running prechecks and applying the patches are very similar. In this case, we can see that patch 11.2.0.4.210720 is now available:
$ oci db patch list by-database --database-id $DB_OCID --profile DEV --all
{
"data": [
{
"available-actions": [
"APPLY",
"PRECHECK"
],
"description": "Jul 2021 11.2.0.4 Database patch",

}
]
}
Let’s source the database OCID for the database orcl01 and patch for 11.2.0.4.210720:
### DB_OCID for the Database we want to apply the patch
$ export DB_OCID=$(oci db database list --compartment-id $COMP_OCID --profile DEV --query "data[?contains(\"db-name\",'0rcl01')]" | jq -r '.[]."id"');echo $DB_OCID
ocid1.database.oc1.iad.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
### PATCH_OCID for the Database we want to apply the patch
$ PATCH_OCID=$(oci db patch list by-database --database-id $DB_OCID --profile DEV --all | jq -r '.data[0]."id"');echo $PATCH_OCID
ocid1.dbpatch.oc1.iad.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Just like the patches and databases have their own OCI, the database home will also be associated with an OCID. To keep things simple, let’s source the OCID of the database home manually:
$ oci db database get --database-id $DB_OCID --profile DEV
{
"data": {
"character-set": "AL32UTF8",
"compartment-id": "ocid1.compartment.oc1..xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",

### Set the DB Home OCID
export DB_HOME_OCID=ocid1.dbhome.oc1.iad.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Now that we have the database, database home and patch OCID, let’s apply the database precheck first. The method is very similar to the one we used for the DB system earlier:
$ oci db database patch --database-id $DB_OCID --patch-id $PATCH_OCID --patch-action PRECHECK --profile DEV
{
"data": {
"character-set": "AL32UTF8",
"compartment-id": "ocid1.compartment.oc1..xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",

}
The database patching is monitored a differently using work OCI requests, which are the history of database configurations/patching activities that happen for DB system databases:

}
]
}
We can also check the history of activities on the database home. This is similar to an oral inventory where we find the on-premises systems:
$ oci db patch-history list-db-home --db-home-id $DB_HOME_OCID --profile -DEV
{
"data": [
{
"action": "PRECHECK",
"id": "ocid1.dbpatchhistory.oc1.iad.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
"lifecycle-details": null,
"lifecycle-state": "SUCCEEDED",
"patch-id": "ocid1.dbpatch.oc1.iad.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
"time-ended": "2021-10-27T17:49:03.452000+00:00",
"time-started": "2021-10-27T17:43:40.705000+00:00"
}
]
}
Let’s apply the database patch now using the APPLY clause (remember that this is an operation for a single-instance database and will mean some downtime):
$ oci db database patch --database-id $DB_OCID --patch-id $PATCH_OCID --patch-action APPLY --profile DEV
{
