HP Operations Orchestration Patch 9.02.0002 Installed and Tested !!



HP released HP Operations Orchestration - 9.02.0002 [ patch release] on Nov 22 ,the third patch release of the minor version of HPOO 9.02. And an hotfix patch for the early patch 9.02.0001. This patch release is a cumulative release that includes updates from the previously released patch 9.02.0001. So the HPOO Infrastructure need install or upgrade to HPOO 9.02 before applying this patch.


Yesterday, I downloaded HPOO - 9.02.0002 patch release and started to play with it in my VMs and Lab Physical Blades.

[I haven't did much research with HPOO - 9.02.0001 and keep my HPOO Cores with HPOO 9.02 version and did all these upgrade tests :). I also did one upgrade test with HPOO 9.02.0001 to HPOO 9.02.0002, but most of the tests are HPOO 9.02 to HPOO 9.02.0002.]

Here is upgrade tests:

* Upgrade a HPOO 9.02 standalone Linux OS core to HPOO 9.02.0002, where the DB [MySQL] on the local VM.

* Upgrade a HPOO 9.02 standalone Linux OS core to HPOO 9.02.0002, where the DB [MySQL] on the remote database [on a different Linux OS VM].

* Upgrade a HPOO 9.02 standalone Linux OS core to HPOO 9.02.0002, where the DB [Oracle] on the local VM.

* Upgrade a HPOO 9.02 standalone Linux OS core to HPOO 9.02.0002, where the DB [Oracle] on the remote database [on a different Linux OS VM].

* Upgrade HPOO 9.02 Cluster cores [both are in RHEL5] to HPOO 9.02.0002, where the 2 DB's [MySQL] on the remote databases [on two different Linux OS VM].

* Upgrade a HPOO 9.02.0001 standalone Linux OS core to HPOO 9.02.0002, where the DB [MySQL] on the remote database [on a different Linux OS VM].


As always, I attached my HPOO 9.02.0002 Core's Version Page :)




After installing, I tested a important and core HPOO functionalities, it worked as expected. :)


The following are the new New Defect Fixes in HPOO 9.02.0002:

QCCR1D139261: Patch 9.02.0001 breaks HTML formatting in transitions.

QCCR1D139262: Could not start Central servlet. Version check has failed. Incorrect parsing of Oracle database URL causes the patch to fail during installation.

QCCR1D139263: Applying 9.02.0001 patch on Linux fails with array index out of bounds exception. Incorrect parsing of Oracle database URL causes the patch to fail during installation.



HPOO 9.02.0002 doesn't have any new Enhancements and hence I test above mention three fixes and did couple of performance tests.


As far performance tests [on a standalone core - Linux OS VM, Remote MySQL DB], based on the built-in flows like the HPSA Software Policy attachment, Unix OS Ping Tests and Unix OS Hardware Details flows, everything went smooth but performance tests [on a cluster cores - Linux OS VM, Remote Clustered MySQL DB], same built-in flows execution went smooth but it takes longer time than the standalone core., which is not normal compare with the older versions. [I am thinking of the VM Memory but I working on this.]


If you have questions on this release or installation issues, please feel free to contact me. Good Luck.
