Purpose: Create The Gold Image

This document describes how to clone an Oracle 19c database software installation using the new Oracle 19c option to create a 'gold image' zip file. It involves creating the gold image on a source server, copying the zip file to target servers, extracting it in the Oracle home directory, and then using the Oracle Universal Installer or running a silent installation script to complete the setup. The procedure allows for an identical Oracle 19c software environment across multiple servers and ensures all servers are patched to the same January 2020 level.

Purpose

This note describes the procedure used to clone an Oracle 19c database software ORACLE_HOME.

As a one-time task, we use the new Oracle 19c option –createGoldImage to create a ‘master’ copy of the Oracle 19c database software (this will include
January 2020 PSU patch).

The generated zip file is then copied to the target servers and then extracted in the target ORACLE_HOME directory.

The note describes the ‘silent’ method as well as using the OUI to set up the Oracle 19c database software.

Create the Gold Image

oracle@db31:/opt/oracle/product/19.0.0$ $ORACLE_HOME/runInstaller -createGoldImage -destinationLocation $HOME -silent
