RAC OS upgrade

• Nothing special about RAC DB upgrades?

  The GI version: 11.2.0.4

  DB version: 10.2.0.5 and 11.2.0.4

  Platform: Oracle Linux 6.4

  Number of nodes: 3

  We have a DB 10.2.0.5 running in an GI 11.2. We want to upgrade this DB in a DB 11.2.

  We already have 11.2.0.4 RDBMS installation in all 3 nodes. That's what I intend to do, to update our data base RAC 10.2 to 11.2 CARS DB.

  Step 1. Run the utlu112i.sqlin "pre-upgrade information tool" g's existing 10 DB.

  Solve all of the problems mentioned in the output

  Step 2. Stop the db 10g

  Step 3. Copy the new file inti.ora with the new 11g setting in the ORACLE_HOME/dbs 11.2. Delete the old settings of 10g

  the value CLUSTER_DATABASE = FALSE

  Step 4. Set ORACLE_HOME as a new ORACLE_HOME 11.2

  Step 5. set the ORACLE_SID for 10g DB and start the instance only in node 1 in UPGRADE mode

  $ export ORACLE_HOME = < location of Oracle 11.2 >

  $ export PATH = $ORACLE_HOME/bin: $PATH

  $ export ORACLE_BASE = < Oracle_Base defined during installation 11.2 >

  SQL > start Update pfile=11g_R2HOME/dbs/init.ora

  Step6.run 11gR2_home/rdbms/admin/catupgrd.sql

  Step 7. After running catupgrd.sql, start the instances of Node2 and Node3.

  The peculiarity only I need to do is to put CLUSTER_DATABASE = FALSE. Is there anything else I need to do?

  I want to do it manually because I have more control over the upgrade process.

  What do you hope to gain from having more control? What would be the advantage?

  Remember that you do not have * control more. You have the complete control and with it, all the responsibilities. In order to better not forget a step that would have made DBUA.

  Furthermore, I've never used DBUA in Standalone or DBs CARS before. Need to learn

  Have you read the last line in my first reply to this topic? I hope that you will test your upgrade before you do in production. You can read more of my thoughts on the tests:

  Importance of testing

  Testbeds

  Because you will test this point, why not take this as an opportunity to learn how the DBUA is simple to do? Sound far, much easier than the manual upgrade.

  Are the steps mentioned in my first post enough?

  I already mentioned some of the things you forgot in my first answer. Here they are again:

  You will need to manually fix the configuration of your network files. You have to manually manage the spfile and password file to new homes. And you don't have any stage to tell the new directory of Oracle clusterware.

  None of these steps has appeared in your list. Other steps that I can quote are to update the oratab file, manually start all RAC instances, check your services are up and running, recompile invalid objects. In addition, I saw no mention of backups. It is wise to backup before and after the upgrade. The backup before the upgrade is desirable in case the upgrade is very bad. You can return to the old version. The upgrade after upgrade is complete, as expected, a failure occurs, you will not have to redo the upgrade after restoring a pre-upgrade backup.

  That being said, learn to use the DBUA. Let the tools provided by Oracle as a DBA easier. In addition to the economy you time, the DBUA decreases the risk of human error in the upgrade process. Of course, I would go in my bosses office after I missed a db upgrade to see my boss to know that if I used the right tool for the job, the upgrade would not be smooth.

  See you soon,.

• Plugin Flash races to come, has no sound, since the upgrade to Ubuntu, why?

  After update Ubuntu 11.04 to 12.04 (64-bit), embedded videos managed by the Flash plugin race advance to the download speed, totally ignoring the clock. They are also silent.

  Found the problem. It is an odd. Research in the application of the Volume control (not sure if it's one thing to Gnome or Xfce - desktop is Xfce), he showed that he was failing to try to play the audio stream through "Redwood HDMI Audio" due to a Radeon video card in the system. Turn off sub tab Configuration and having integrated Audio together the appropriate (in my case) audio analog stereo sound restorations that it fixes the problem Flash video--race to advance.

  What is crazy is that the video should come race due to an audio output doesn't work. How could Adobe have never programmed Flash with this addiction?

  In any case, it appears that in the cycle of upgrading Ubuntu insisted on bring back the HDMI audio in game. Which had been set correctly - off - before the upgrade. I have HDMI to my monitor, but its speakers are analog.

  Question: How to 11.2.0.3.0 to 11.2.0.4.0 Oracle?   I need to create a new home?

  
  

  I'd appreciate any help.

  
  

  Thank you.

  Since it's CARS, you must first put the grid Infrastructure. Install IM 11.2.0.4 in a new home and have to do the upgrade at the same time. Once the GI is upgraded, you can then install 11.2.0.4 RDBMS as a CAR-install software into a new home. Then call the new home DBUA to upgrade db.

  It sounds simple when its put in this way, but each update needs sufficient tests. I also have a minimum span of two weeks, between IM and database updates.

• 10g R2 no RAC-database unique Instance to upgrade to 11g R2-2 node RAC database

  Hi all

  I have a requirement for my client.

  We have a three databases with replication between them activated by MV & MV connects to the 10 g R2 database.

  This must be upgraded to Database 11g R2 with a 2 RAC node.

  Please tell us how to get started and go.

  Also please notify once upgraded to database 11g R2, how replication can be achieved.

  Thank you

  Vijayaraghavan.K

  > We have to first upgrade to 11 g R2 Instance unique and then move on RAC - node 2

  You must install the grid Infrastructure for Cluster and RAC database software in the new cluster.

  Then upgrade the database as a single instance database.

  Then, convert it to the RAC

  See http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/rac.112/e17264/install_rac.htm#TDPRC185 for the conversion of the measures.

• Steps/reference to upgrade node 4 RAC 11.2.0.2 to 11.2.0.4

  Hello

  I could not find note oracle good to know the steps of upgrade 11.2.0.2 to 11.2.0.4 on cluster of CARS for the node 7.1 4 AIX. Could some one note/links summary, if has?

  Upgrade of the GRID:

  Normally, we use to install 11.2.0.4 binary GRID at separate and then upgrade as 11.2.0.2 to 11.2.0.4. How can we do this and how do we upgrade all clustered components that point to the old GRID home (11.2.0.2) to newly installed HOME (11.2.0.4)?

  RDBMS upgrade:

  We install the new HOME for 11.2.0.4 and then we run carupgrade to upgrade the DB to 11.2.0.4. But how to change the cluster resources of RDMBS than HOME (11.2.0.2) of old points to 11.2.0.4.

  Thanks a lot for your suggestions and referring to any web link would be useful for me to read in more detail in this.

  Kind regards

  Hi kumarsk,

  your proposed update of grid and RDBMS are exactly what will be out of place update. The docs on this are available on the website of oracle as usual:

  http://docs.Oracle.com/CD/E11882_01/install.112/e41961/procstop.htm#CWLIN417

  http://docs.Oracle.com/CD/E11882_01/server.112/e23633/upgrade.htm#UPGRD003

  1. check that your environment is ready with cluvfy with a command similar to this:

  ./runcluvfy.sh stage pre - crsinst-upgrade to cars - n-test1, test2-rac-rolling - src_crshome /oracle/11.2.0/grid-dest_crshome /oracle/11.2.0/grid4-dest_version 11.2.0.4.0 - verbose

  2. run the installer of the grid 11.2.0.4 software and chose the upgrade option. That will install the software in a new home. Your old cluster will remain online until the point was that you run the script rootupgrade.sh on the first node. The upgrade continues to roll, your db will remain available with sessions of failover to other nodes. Do this for all 4 nodes and finish the Setup program later.

  11.2.0.4 handles transfer all files required including travel of Auditors. Of course, you should always apply some controls yourself from the environment to ensure that everything is just right.

  3. start the 11.2.0.4 db Installer choose only the software and install it in the new House.

  4. turn to level the databases one by one with dbua new home installed. The dbua will take care of registration of the db with the new values for oracle_home, etc in the clusterware.

  If you want to do the db upgrade manually, you can pass parameters in the cluster registry by running "srvctl upgrade database d xxx o new_oracle_home". You run this command from the database new home.

• 11 GR 2 DBUA complains when upgrade no DB RAC server with other DBs CARS

  Hello

  I have encountered a problem using DBUA 11.2.0.3 yesterday and would like to know how to resolve or work around this problem.

  I am on 64 bit RH5 a cluster 2 node RAC with 11.2.0.3 infrastructure.  On node 1 of the cluster, I have a NON- RAC 11.2.0.2.1 database named DB1.  Note, this DB has ever been of CARS.  There is no other DBs running against this 11.2.0.2.1 home.

  "When I try to run DBUA to node1 using a separate 11.2.0.3 new House (with no database yet) against the DB1 database, it gives the following error message.

  The following requirement checks failed:

  The "ora {sid}" user does not have a configuration user equivalence on the nodes '[ud1 UD2]. "  Please set user equivalence before continuing.

  PRKC-1044: Impossible to verify the configuration of remote command for node [node 1] using/usr/bin/ssh and/usr/bin/rsh shells.

  [node1]: Connection refused

  You must meet these conditions before continuing the upgrade.  Do you want to continue?  Yes or no (buttons)

  ---

  Given that I am not upgrading a database RAC or using an Oracle Home in use by all instances of RAC, in my view, that this is a bug in DBUA.

  Anyone encountered this?  How do you get around that?

  ---

  I have an SR is open.  The database serves as an EBS 11i environment and I am following docid 881505.1.  I asked support if do manual upgrade DB (without DBUA) is a workaround.  I await their response.

  Thank you, Dean

  
  

  Support of Oracle says to do the upgrade manually.  DBUA confuses because we installed on the node to upgrade network infrastructure, but the DB to be upgraded on the node is not cars.  I was able to complete the upgrade manually.  I'll ask management to create a bug for this.

• RAC upgrade databases on grid of 11.1 to 11.2 11.2

  Hello
  
  I have a database of 2 node rac with oracle grid infrastructure and ASM = 11.2.0.2 version.
  The database is an earlier version 11.1.0.7. (linux Redhat 5.4 intel)
  We installed this way because applications running on this database was not
  certified in these times with 11.2.
  Now, we want to upgrade the database and let the version of the game IM and RAC.
  
  Is it possible to upgrade the Rac database without stopping the services?
  I read documents on ASM rolling upgrade (not always possible, but only in)
  (in some cases).
  Is there something like an upgrade of 11.1 to 11.2 database?
  
  Thank you.

  Update 11.2.0.1 to 11.2.0.3

• RAC 11.2.0.1 to 11.2.0.2 to the new Cluster upgrade with any number of nodes

  I'd like suggestions on upgrading a RAC Oracle 11.2.0.1 in Linux x86_64 RHEL 5.3 with 6 cases of a new cluster with 4 linux x86_64, RHEL 5.5 and upgrading to 11.2.0.2 nodes group of hotfixes.
  New SAN storage will be used. Both systems use ASM.
  
  Current system... New system
  11.2.0.1... 11.2.0.2
  6 instances... 4 instances
  Linux RHEL 5.3 x86_64... Linux RHEL 5.5 x86_64
  
  Method:
  (1) run controls and upgrades pre scripts
  (2) save the current database with RMAN and put at the disposal of the backup files to the new host
  (3) install grid Infrastcure on the new cluster 11.2.0.2
  (4) set up ASM on the new Cluster
  (5) install the Oracle RAC 11.2.0.2 on the new cluster database and create the database with the same name of the original database.
  (6) startup nomount using a parameter file and the source of DBID edited without the cars parameters (cluster_database = false, etc...)
  7-restore Rman backup controlfile to step 1
  (8) restore / restore incomplete database
  (9) OPEN RESETLOGS UPGRADE
  10) proceed to updates manual steps (script catupgrd.sql, etc.)
  (11) remove the cancellations additional tablespaces e redo log son
  (12) CONVERTED to THE CARS USING DBCA or RCONFIG
  
  This method is correct? Do you offer other methods or corrections?
  
  I also want to know if there is another thing to delete, besides redo threads and undo tablespaces, due to the smaller number of cases.
  
  I also considered using RMAN DUPLICATE to the same version (11.2.0.1) and then MOVE to 11.2.0.2, but DOUBLE would change the DBID.
  
  Thank you

  Hello

  your efforts seem valid, but its awfully difficult.

  Why not simply create a watch on 11.2.0.1 and then update.
  If you are using "duplicate for standby" should not change the dbid.

  Then, you can just 'turn on' the night before and continue the upgrade.

• Upgradation OS for RAC

  Hi guys... How is everything...
  
  I have the node CCR on Windows2003R2 Itaniam. I need to know is there any procedure for upgradation OS for RAC... I mean I'm going to the bottom of the Cluster & when the OS database places a gradation.

  Hello

  you need not stop the entire base.
  Upgrades of the OS can be in upgradeable mode (so one node after another), you must stop the instance and the clusterstack on the node, you perform the upgrade.

  Policies to support Oracle to launch of the CARS with different versions of an operating system within a period of 24 hours.
  In other words: after completing the upgrade of the first node you have 24 hours to what your other nodes must be at the same level of the new OS.
