Intro
Hope previous blog posts were useful to address ODA upgrade issues for the virtualization platforms.
If you are planning on the 19.8 journey please read the below-mentioned
article to ease the 19.8 journey.
Article about the upgrade and issues:
- ODA upgrade 12.1.2.12 to 18.3.0.0 -- Journey to 19.9.0.0 - Part 1
- Virtualized ODA upgrade 18.3.0.0 to 18.8.0.0 - Journey to 12.1.2.12 - 19.13.0.0 - Part 2
- Virtualized ODA upgrade 18.8.0.0 to 19.8.0.0 - Journey to 12.1.2.12 - 19.13.0.0 - Part 3
- ODA upgrade issues for - 12.1.2.6 to 12.1.2.10
19.13 will be the last upgrade for the virtualized platform, After that
oracle going to discontinue OVM and they are moving to KVM-based
virtualization. This is going to be a game changer for ODA for
performance.
To be compliant with an Oracle license is very important. When configuring virtualized ODA set up the core as per the purchased license core count.
If you misconfigured this there is a way to correct this. But you need to take complete downtime to perform this activity.
In this article, I will illustrate how to adjust CPU core count in virtualized ODA.
