With the deployments procedures that are in Table
6-3
, there are a variety of use cases. There are far too many to
discuss in this chapter, so we will focus on a single-instance Oracle database provisioning for the remainder of this chapter.
Setup for Database Provisioning
Using the Provisioning options in Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control, you can provision Oracle databases,
Oracle Real Application Clusters databases, and Oracle Real Application Clusters One databases by using templates,
installation media, database entities, or provisioning profiles to standardize deployments.
Creating a Provision Profile
A
provision profile
is an entity that contains software bits and configuration details. When a profile is created from an
existing installation, it provides flexibility in cloning of an Oracle database. We can create database templates by using
provisioning profiles. Using a provisioning profile enables standardization within deployments. Provisioning profiles
reduce the need to reschedule deployments by avoiding errors and increase efficiency of deployment procedures.
Let's review how to create a provision profile.
