Solution 2170951.1 : PCA: How to automate 'refresh clone' in Oracle Snap Management Utility (SMU) 1.3

Applies to:

Private Cloud Appliance X5-2 Hardware - Version All Versions and later
Oracle Database - Enterprise Edition - Version 11.2.0.4 and later
7000 Appliance OS (Fishworks)
Oracle Snap Management Utility v1.3 doesn't have the built in facility to automate "refresh clone" activity. However, an alternative exists to script the function and using a time based scheduler like Solaris cron, automate the process.

Goal

Currently, SMU lacks the functionality to schedule a clone refresh. Investigating options.

Solution

1> Log into SMU CLI

2> keys add mykey {public key}. After this step, you don't need the password to login into ssh SMU session.

3> create a smu input file with the following line: tasks add -F refresh {backup} {target_app}

4> create a script with the following line: ssh -l admin -p 8002 {management_host} smu < {smu input file}

5> schedule a cron job with the above script.
