I asked this question on the list a month or two back, and got a fair number of
responses. Full disclosure - my company makes a product that a number of
companies use in lieu of Provisioning Pack, so take anything I say with a big
grain of salt. The general feedback, both on- and off-list:
- Database cloning works pretty well, with some limitations
- No one reported success getting RAC provisioning to work with Provsioning Pack
- Mixed reports on using it for patching - some people said it worked fine,
others said they had to throw it out. Regardless, everyone agreed that the
download from metalink and staging of patches via OEM was a nice feature
- No one seemed to have used Provisioning pack to build databases/ORACLE_HOMEs
from scratch - instead they built them by hand and then cloned them to the
desired servers
- No one had used OEM for bare-metal OS provisioning
I think that was the overall feedback. Is there anything in particular you're
looking at it to do?
Thanks,
Matt

Subject: Oracle Provisioning Pack
All,
Has anyone used Oracle Provisioning Pack?
If so, what did you think of it? Which features did you use? 10g or 11g? Is
it the time-saver it's advertised to be? (If answering the time-saver
question, how many databases/environments did you operate against? I'd like to
determine at what number of databases/tiers this starts to save time: 10, 20,
50, 100 databases?)
Thanks for whatever information you are willing to share.
Kind regards,
Mary Elizabeth McNeely
