Re: Database Appliance

Although I only have experience with the HA configurations, I would have to agree. We've found the ODA patching process, for instance, to be *far* more fragile and failure-prone than a normal cluster... I'm not joking when I say that we've been opening a SR for a new and improved patching failure every single quarter.

The most recent example being that Oracle *forgot to mention* in the release notes that the 18.7 update requires a full outage of the cluster stack (due to the disabling of HAIP). After which it took them a couple of weeks to figure out why our patching resulted in unexpected downtime.

Given that Oracle controls both the hardware and software, I would have expected the patching process to be relatively bulletproof. Unfortunately I'm not sure they could have missed the mark further if they tried.
