Due to complex requirements for service relocate and restore as part of patching, I decided to script the process. Requirements: [code] Critical services should only be relocated once as part of patching. After patching, non-critical services will need to be relocated to other instance. Critical services are defined as svc_21-29. [/code] Existing configuration: [code] [oracle@racnode-dc2-1 patch]$ . /media/patch/hawk.env The Oracle base has been set to /u01/app/oracle ORACLE_UNQNAME=hawk ORACLE_SID=hawk1 ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/12.2.0.1/db1 Oracle Instance alive for sid "hawk1" [oracle@racnode-dc2-1 patch]$ [oracle@racnode-dc2-1 patch]$ srvctl status database -d $ORACLE_UNQNAME -v Instance hawk1 is running on node racnode-dc2-1 with online services svc_11,svc_12,svc_13,svc_14,svc_15,svc_16,svc_17,svc_18,svc_19.
