How to upgrade AHF (TFA and ORACHK/EXACHK) using ahfctl (and patch it for Log4j vulnerability with version 21.3.4.0.0)
Recently we upgraded the Autonomous Health Framework (AHF) to the latest version and I found the new AHFCTL command line very helpful and easy to upgrade AHF.
AHFCTL command-line utility starts from version 21.1 version.
Here are the steps:
1. Download the latest patch to the patch location.
[root@oda-base0 stage]# pwd
/u01/stage
[root@oda-base0 stage]# ls -lrt
total 402584
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 411834022 Dec 15 19:44 AHF-LINUX_v21.3.4.zip
[root@oda-base0 stage]#
2. Check the current version of AHF using the below command: ahfctl statusahf
[root@oda-base0 stage]# ahfctl statusahf
.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------.
| Host | Status of TFA | PID | Port | Version | Build ID | Inventory Status |
+----------+---------------+-------+------+------------+----------------------+------------------+
|oda-base0 | RUNNING | 18822 | 5000 | 21.3.3.0.0 | 21330020211213022521 | COMPLETE |
'----------+---------------+-------+------+------------+----------------------+------------------'
------------------------------------------------------------
Master node = oda-base0
orachk daemon version = 21.3.0
Install location = /opt/oracle/dcs/oracle.ahf/orachk
Started at = Fri Nov 19 10:40:14 EST 2021
Scheduler type = TFA Scheduler
Scheduler PID: 18822
------------------------------------------------------------
ID: orachk.autostart_client_oratier1
------------------------------------------------------------
AUTORUN_FLAGS = -usediscovery -profile oratier1 -dball -showpass -tag autostart_client_oratier1 -readenvconfig
COLLECTION_RETENTION = 7
AUTORUN_SCHEDULE = 3 2 * * 1,2,3,4,5,6
------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------
ID: orachk.autostart_client
------------------------------------------------------------
AUTORUN_FLAGS = -usediscovery -tag autostart_client -readenvconfig
COLLECTION_RETENTION = 14
AUTORUN_SCHEDULE = 3 3 * * 0
------------------------------------------------------------
Next auto run starts on Dec 16, 2021 02:03:00
ID:orachk.AUTOSTART_CLIENT_ORATIER1
3. Set Software stage location: ahfctl set upgrade -swstage <patch location>
[root@oda-base0 stage]# ahfctl setupgrade -swstage /u01/stage/
AHF autoupgrade parameters successfully updated
Successfully synced AHF configuration
refreshConfig() completed successfully.
NOTE: you don't need to unzip the file
4. Upgrade AHF using ahfctl upgrade command:
[root@oda-base0 stage]# ahfctl upgrade
