Database Update Configuration
You update databases to take advantage of features in new releases or upgrades of database software. Also,
to incorporate enhancements to a database virtual machine (DBVM) or to third party software tools. System
administrators manage the base DB template update chain to ensure that users update databases based on
templates that comply with defined update policies.
Updates apply enhancements to a DBVM that are not necessarily database software upgrades. You can create
a base DB template from an existing version of a database and add third party software tools to the new base
DB template. You can then apply the new base DB template to multiple databases by performing a batch update.
Update Chain Management
The update chain is a property of base DB templates, and determines which base DB templates can be updated
from or updated to the current base DB template. You can assign templates with the same database engine
(Oracle or vFabric Postgres) to the current template chain. You set the update mode when configuring the
template chain.
Update Mode
Determines how databases are updated. You select an update mode according
to the capability and update scenario of the destination base DB template. There
are two update modes.
In-place update
Modifies the original database files. No additional storage is required and no
new files are created during the in-place update process. You use the in-place
update mode when updating within the same vFabric Postgres version, that is,
when updating from 9.0 to 9.0, or from 9.1 to 9.1.
Dump-restore update
Requires additional storage to finish the update. The process moves the original
database to a separate location, and then restores the files to the updated
database instance
