Release of Audit Vault and Database Firewall 12.1.2 Bundle Patch 2

End of last week, Oracle has released the second Bundle Patch for Audit Vault and Database Firewall 12.1.2. I’ve missed the release due to public holiday here in Switzerland. 🙂 The patch can be downloaded as usual on Oracle Metalink as Patchset 19190265 for existing installations or on Oracle eDelivery as full installation image for new installations. The installation image is split in two parts which need to be merged before use. A short description on how to merge the image can be found on my blog post about Audit Vault and Database Firewall 12.1.2.

According the readme, the Release 12.1.2 BP2 contains the July 2014 PSU 11.2.0.3.11 for the database as well several bug fix for the base platform. These include security and stability fixes to Java and the underlying Linux operating system. This is more or less similar to thelast bundle patch. What’s new, are the bug fix for the following bugs:

Bug Number Description
18724624 WITH EXCESSIVE VALUE FOR RMEM_MAX, TRAFFIC MONITORING IS SILENTLY DISABLED
18161187 INTEGRATE INTERFACE MASTERS NEW DRIVERS INTO THE PRODUCT
18940816 AVDF SERVER FAILS TO INSTALL ON HP DL380 GEN8 WITH CCISS!C0D0 ERROR

18442791 NFS ARCHIVE JOB FAILS

In particular, I am interested in bug 18940816. I’ve discussed this issues in my post about AVDF installation fails on HP server with Smart Array Disk Controller. To verify if this issue is successfully fixed, I’ll have to reinstall one of the HP BL465c Blades.
