Hi, [snip]
Thanks. One question though. I'm not much of an Oracle expert, and I > guess this is more of an Oracle question, than a puppet one, but what > did you do to configure Oracle on the command line once it was > installed? > Oracle actually provides some stuff exactly for this. There is a way to "clone" an existing oracle install to get up and running on a different machine just by copying over the binaries and running a script called clone.pl to differentiate the new machine/install from the original one. I am planning to use it like this: install the first oracle and prepare it for cloning (see below for instructions), package it in an RPM so I can easily use puppet to get it in place on a new machine and then either write an exec, a custom type/provider to deal with the clone.pl stuff, or just let the DBA's handle it. Information on the cloning stuff: * http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/em.102/b16227/oui7_cloning.htm * http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/em.111/b31207/oui6_cloning.htm One of the advantages here, is that this is a supported way of customizing. Just my 2c. Kind regards, kristof -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
