In this guide, we’ll walk through creating an Ansible playbook to automate the upgrade process for Oracle Autonomous Health Framework (AHF) across multiple servers.
Step 1: Create the Ansible Playbook on the Master Server
First, create your playbook file on the master (control) server under the following directory:
[root@srv1]# ls -lrth /home/oracle/mypdb/ahfupgrd.yml
Step 2: Prepare Target Servers
On each target server where AHF needs to be upgraded, create a directory to store the installation files:
[[oracle@srv2]$ mkdir /tmp/ahf_upgrade
Step 3: Validate and Execute the Playbook
Before executing the playbook, it's a good practice to run a syntax check:
ansible-playbook --syntax-check ahfupgrd.yml
If everything looks good, run the playbook as below:
ansible-playbook ahfupgrd.yml
Sample Ansible Playbook: ahfupgrd.yml
