Provisioning an Oracle Database Home and Creating a Database

This procedure provisions Oracle Database 12c release 2 (12.2) software and creates Oracle Database instances.

Before You Begin

Ensure that there exists a gold image db12201 stored on the Rapid Home Provisioning Server.

Procedure

From the Rapid Home Provisioning Server, provision the Oracle Database home software:
```
rhpctl add workingcopy -image db12201 -path /u01/app/dbusr/product/12.2.0/db12201
  -client client_001 -oraclebase /u01/app/dbusr/ 
-workingcopy db122 
```
The command provisions the working copy db122 to the specified path on the cluster client_001, from the image db12201 .
Create the database instance:
```
rhpctl add database -workingcopy db122 -dbname db -dbtype RAC
```
The command creates an Oracle RAC database instance db . You can use the add database command repeatedly to create more instances on the working copy.
