Rapid Home Provisioning Clients communicate with the Rapid Home Provisioning Server for all actions. You cannot run any RHPCTL commands without a connection to a Rapid Home Provisioning Server.
From the Rapid Home Provisioning Server, you can enable or disable Rapid Home Provisioning Clients by running the following command from the Rapid Home Provisioning Server cluster:
$ rhpctl modify client -client client_name -enabled TRUE | FALSE
To enable a Rapid Home Provisioning Client, specify -enabled TRUE. Conversely, specify -enabled FALSE to disable the client. When you disable a Rapid Home Provisioning Client cluster, all RHPCTL commands from that client cluster will be rejected by the Rapid Home Provisioning Server, unless and until you re-enable the client.
Note:
Disabling a Rapid Home Provisioning Client cluster does not disable any existing working copies on the client cluster. The working copies will continue to function and any databases in those working copies will continue to run, even if their Oracle home storage comes from the Rapid Home Provisioning Server cluster over NFS.
