Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C, D

To create a software profile version for a newly-released Oracle ISc patch, an administrator should follow these steps:

Download the required patch from MyOracle Support1. This is because Oracle patches are typically available from MyOracle Support, not Microsoft Support.

Apply the patch to the Oracle Home/Grid Home on a cloned VM of the gold image using OPatchAuto1. OPatchAuto is a utility provided by Oracle that automates the process of applying patches to a database.

Ensure success of patch application1. It's important to verify that the patch has been applied successfully to avoid any issues down the line.

Create a new software profile version from the original software profile using the cloned VM where OPatchAuto was run successfully using Era GUI1. This step is necessary to ensure that the new patch is included in the software profile.

Mark the original patch profile as hidden1. This step is optional but can be useful for keeping the software profile clean and organized.

Please note that these answers are based on the information available as of my last update in 2021 and may need to be verified with the most recent Nutanix Database Automation (NCP-DB) documentation or resources.

I’m surprised they still use cloned VMs for this!

Wait, why would you mark it as deprecated? Seems risky.

I’m pretty sure we have to ensure the patch application is successful, but I’m confused about whether we should mark the original profile as deprecated or hidden.

I feel like we might need to apply the patch on a cloned VM first, but I can't recall if it was specifically for Oracle Home or Grid Home.

I remember practicing a question about creating a software profile version, and I think marking the original profile as deprecated was important.

I think we need to download the patch from MyOracle Support, but I'm not sure if we should use OPatchAuto or something else.

I'm feeling pretty confident about this one. The steps seem clear - download the patch, apply it, then create a new software profile version. The only tricky part is remembering to mark the original as deprecated.

Okay, I've got this. First, download the patch from MyOracle Support, then apply it using OPatchAuto on a cloned VM. After that, create a new software profile version using Era GUI and mark the original as deprecated.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused about the difference between marking the original profile as deprecated vs. hidden. I'll need to review those options carefully.

This question seems pretty straightforward. I think the key is to focus on the steps required to create a new software profile version after applying the patch.
