Golden image

[Greg Bernard_1]

I have a rp7420 that I am running make_sys_image on. Will this capture all of the patches that have been installed on that system?

I also have Oracle installed on the server, will the make_sys_image capture that also?

Once the archive is complete and I am ready to have the Ignite-UX server use it to install a new server, will it automatically install all of the patches from the Golden Image?

Thanks in advance!!

Not sure how you have Oracle set up but using this... inc_entire=vg00 in your command string will snag all of vg00, patches and all.

make_sys_image captures everything on the hard drive in vg00 into a tar ball, yes, patches are captured and will just be there.

Applications, such as Oracle, will be there, but most folks use other VGs for the database files. Oracle will likely need some custom config after cloning.

So give it a try and see what you get.
