In this article we will upgrade a database running on Oracle RAC version 11.2.0.1 to version 11.2.0.3.
The steps to upgrade from the version 11.2.0.2 are very similar, only changing the dependent packages and patches.
Our RAC database is running on a Red Hat, with the following specifications:
- O.S: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.8 (Tikanga) – x86_64
- Kernel: 2.6.18-308.16.1.el5
- VMWare: VMware ESXi 5.0
- Oracle 11.2.0.3
- Individual Oracle homes and shared disks for RAC via VMFS
To perform this upgrade, you will need the following Oracle packages:
- Oracle and Grid Installer: p10404530_112030_Linux-x86-64 (1,2,3 files only)
- Patch for update bug fix: p9413827_112010_Linux-x86-64 (if the source version is the 11.2.0.1)
- Latest Patch Set update
This tutorial is divided into 7 stages macros:
- Transfer the installation files to the server and unzip them.
- Apply patch 9413827.
- Install the dependency package cvuqdisk.
- Install and upgrade Oracle Grid to the latest version.
- Install and upgrade Oracle Database to the latest version.
- Apply the latest Patch Set Update in Oracle Database and Grid.
So, let's start:
1 - Transfer the installation files to the server and unzip them.
First part, we will transfer the files to a server where they have available. If you do not have them, download these files from Metalink.
[root@patchserver ~]# scp -r p10404530_112030_Linux-x86-64/ patches/ root@10.20.1.2:/u01/oracle_install root@10.20.1.2's password: p10404530_112030_Linux-x86-64_1of7.zip 100% 1296MB 21.2MB/s 01:01 p10404530_112030_Linux-x86-64_2of7.zip 100% 1089MB 21.8MB/s 00:50 p10404530_112030_Linux-x86-64_3of7.zip 100% 934MB 21.2MB/s 00:44 p9413827_112010_Linux-x86-64.zip 100% 285MB 21.9MB/s 00:13 [root@patchserver oracle_install]#
Then, let's log into RAC node 1 where we transfered the files and check:
[root@oraclebdsrv01 ~]# ls -laR /u01/oracle_install/ /u01/oracle_install/: total 16 drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Jun 14 16:46 . drwxr-xr-x 5 root oinstall 4096 Jun 14 16:41 .. drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun 14 16:45 p10404530_112030_Linux-x86-64 drwxrwxr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun 14 16:47 patches /u01/oracle_install/p10404530_112030_Linux-x86-64: total 3401636 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun 14 16:45 . drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Jun 14 16:46 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1358454646 Jun 14 16:43 p10404530_112030_Linux-x86-64_1of7.zip -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1142195302 Jun 14 16:44 p10404530_112030_Linux-x86-64_2of7.zip -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 979195792 Jun 14 16:46 p10404530_112030_Linux-x86-64_3of7.zip /u01/oracle_install/patches: total 747360 drwxrwxr-x 2 root root 4096 Jun 14 16:47 . drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Jun 14 16:46 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 298972922 Jun 14 16:47 p9413827_112010_Linux-x86-64.zip [root@oraclebdsrv01 ~]#
Now unzip the files as the oracle user:
[root@oraclebdsrv01 ~]# su - oracle [oracle@oraclebdsrv01 ~]$ cd /u01/oracle_install/p10404530_112030_Linux-x86-64/ [oracle@oraclebdsrv01 p10404530_112030_Linux-x86-64]$ ls -la total 3401636 drwxr-xr-x 2 oracle oinstall 4096 Jun 14 16:45 . drwxr-xr-x 5 oracle oinstall 4096 Jun 14 17:13 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 oracle oinstall 1358454646 Jun 14 16:43 p10404530_112030_Linux-x86-64_1of7.zip -rw-r--r-- 1 oracle oinstall 1142195302 Jun 14 16:44 p10404530_112030_Linux-x86-64_2of7.zip -rw-r--r-- 1 oracle oinstall 979195792 Jun 14 16:46 p10404530_112030_Linux-x86-64_3of7.zip [oracle@oraclebdsrv01 p10404530_112030_Linux-x86-64]$ unzip "*.zip" Archive: p10404530_112030_Linux-x86-64_1of7.zip creating: database/ ..... Archive: p10404530_112030_Linux-x86-64_2of7.zip creating: database/stage/Components/oracle.ctx/ ..... Archive: p10404530_112030_Linux-x86-64_3of7.zip creating: grid/ ..... 3 archives were successfully processed. [oracle@oraclebdsrv01 p10404530_112030_Linux-x86-64]$
The first part was easy.
2 - Unzip the files.
The second part will be a patch to fix the update for this database version. If skipped, you would face the following message during the installation of Grid in step 3:
Attention to this step, READ the README.txt file inside the patch folder.
In my case, the installation folder of the Oracle Home is not shared across the intances. So, I used the option "Configuration B" specified in the manual.
You must run the whole steps below a node of your RAC at a time. So, perform all the steps in a node, then another, successively.
We will divide this part into 10 sub-steps:
### 1 Make sure the opatch is set up to the ORACLE_HOME and GRID_HOME.
As oracle, run:

[grid@oraclebdsrv01 ~]$
### 2 Unzip the files.
As oracle, run:
% unzip p9413827_11201_LINUX.X64.zip
[root@oraclebdsrv01 ~]# su - oracle [oracle@oraclebdsrv01 ~]$ cd /u01/oracle_install/patches [oracle@oraclebdsrv01 patches]$ ls -la total 747360 drwxrwxr-x 2 oracle oinstall 4096 Jun 14 16:47 . drwxr-xr-x 5 oracle oinstall 4096 Jun 14 17:13 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 oracle oinstall 298972922 Jun 14 16:47 p9413827_112010_Linux-x86-64.zip [oracle@oraclebdsrv01 patches]$ unzip p9413827_112010_Linux-x86-64.zip Archive: p9413827_112010_Linux-x86-64.zip creating: 9413827/ ..... [oracle@oraclebdsrv01 patches]$
### 3 Stop the "oracle_home" service.
As oracle, run:
% srvctl stop home -o <rdbms_home> -s -n <node_name>#
[root@oraclebdsrv01 ~]# su - oracle [oracle@oraclebdsrv01 ~]$ srvctl stop home -o $DB_HOME -s /u01/oracle_install/patches/status.file -n oraclebdsrv01 [oracle@oraclebdsrv01 ~]$
### 4 Unprotect the blocked installation files.
As root, run:
# <crs_home>/crs/install/rootcrs.pl -unlock
ATTENTION: If you have many audit files, this step will take much! So, delete them before!
In my case, I never knew I had so many and my command "rootcrs.pl -unlock" got stuck. I opened another parallel session to solve the problem.
[root@oraclebdsrv01 ~]# ls -1 /u01/app/oracle/admin/SGF/adump/ | wc -l 127153 [root@oraclebdsrv01 ~]# ls -1 /u01/app/11.2.0/grid/rdbms/audit/ | wc -l 3175278
One of the fastest ways to delete files using rsync is, as can be seen in: http://linuxnote.net/jianingy/en/linux/a-fast-way-to-remove-huge-number-of-files.html

3 - Install the dependency package cvuqdisk.
Updating the grid brings a new package as a dependency: cvuqdisk. Luckily for us, this package is available in the Oracle installation zip.
There is another way to apply this package which is directly by the graphic interface on the screen of dependency check, where Oracle will generate a script in "/tmp/" to run as root. However, I still prefer the manual approach:

4 - Install and upgrade Oracle Grid to the latest version.
We are now ready to call the Grid installer. Starting with version 11.2.0.3, Oracle does not update existing homes, it creates separate homes.
First, let's just create the folders where will be located the new CRS_HOME:
As root, execute on each node:
[root@oraclebdsrv01 ~]# mkdir -p /u01/app/11.2.3/grid/ [root@oraclebdsrv01 ~]# chown grid:oinstall /u01/app/11.2.3/grid/ [root@oraclebdsrv01 ~]# [root@oraclebdsrv02 ~]# mkdir -p /u01/app/11.2.3/grid/ [root@oraclebdsrv02 ~]# chown grid:oinstall /u01/app/11.2.3/grid/ [root@oraclebdsrv02 ~]#
Calling the installer. As grid, run:
[grid@oraclebdsrv01 ~]$ cd /u01/oracle_install/p10404530_112030_Linux-x86-64/grid/ [grid@oraclebdsrv01 grid]$ ./runInstaller Starting Oracle Universal Installer...

Actual 65536 Passed Preparing to launch Oracle Universal Installer from /tmp/OraInstall2013-06-20_02-59-13PM. Please wait ... [grid@oraclebdsrv01 grid]$
The screen below will appear. Choose the option "Skip software updates".
On the next screen, choose "Upgrade Oracle Grid Infrastructure".
Select the desired languages.
All nodes in your cluster should be selected.
Associate the corresponding OS groups.
At this point, you should choose a different directory for your upgrade and installation. In my case, I use the standard "11.2.3".
On the next screen, a summary appears. Check the data and click "Install".
When the upgrade is complete, it will request you to run the following script as root. Do one at a time on both nodes, starting at the node where the installation was called.
As root, run in the first node:
[root@oraclebdsrv01 ~]# /u01/app/11.2.3/grid/rootupgrade.sh
Performing root user operation for Oracle 11g
The following environment variables are set as:

5 - Install and upgrade Oracle Database to the latest version.
Now that we have the Grid in version 11.2.0.3, the next step is to install the database on a new home and then invoke the DBUA to upgrade it.
As oracle, run:

On the screen that appears, fill in the data as desired. In my case, I'm not interested in receiving updates via MOS.
When presenting the alert, confirm.
Now select the option "Skip software updates".
At that moment, just pick the option "Install database software only". We will upgrade it in another step.
Check the "Oracle Real Application Clusters" and select all nodes of your cluster.
Now select the desired language.
Choose the same edition as your original database, according to your license.
At this time, the destination folder will be different from where the current Oracle Database is running. I use the standard "11.2.3".
Check the corresponding OS groups.
Wait for the verification requirements. If all goes well, nothing will be missing.
Wait for the summary and click "Install".
The installation will proceed.
After installation, you are prompted to run the script as the root user. Execute on all nodes, one at a time.
As root, run on all nodes:

Finally, the success installation screen is displayed.
Nice. Now, upgrade .bash_profile for all users with the variable pointing to the new HOME of ORACLE. Do not confuse with the GRID HOME.
Next, let's run the DBUA to migrate the database to the new home.
As oracle, run:
[oracle@oraclebdsrv01 ~]$ /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.3/dbhome_1/bin/dbua
The database upgrade screen will appear.
Select the database you want to update.
Wait for verification.
A screen will appear with the necessary recommendations to be made. Execute them before proceeding.
During the upgrade, Oracle recommends some checks to be performed. Below are some examples to help solve them:
-- List and recompile invalid objects:
select * from dba_objects where status<>'VALID';
EXEC UTL_RECOMP.recomp_serial();
EXEC UTL_RECOMP.recomp_parallel(4);
-- Check if there are refreshes of MVIEW ongoing:
select currmvowner, currmvname from v$mvrefresh;
-- Check if there are items in the trash:
select * from dba_recyclebin;
PURGE DBA_RECYCLEBIN;
-- Check for objects dependent to the system-related package DBMS_LDAP:
select * from dba_dependencies where referenced_name='DBMS_LDAP';
-- Check if the parameter 'event' or '_trace_event' are not default and save list of current parameters:
select * from v$parameter where name in ('event','_trace_event');
create pfile=/tmp/pfile.bkp.txt from spfile;
-- Redo system tables statistics:
exec DBMS_STATS.GATHER_FIXED_OBJECTS_STATS;
exec DBMS_STATS.GATHER_DICTIONARY_STATS;
On the next screen, I do not recommend disabling the archives so you will be able to safe return if necessary.
When the warning appears, proceed with the installation.
Choose ARCHIVE area, if not already specified.
Uncheck the option to configure the Enterprise Manager. It is better to run it later manually.
Check the report and click "Finish".
The upgrade will start.
At the end, click OK. It is advisable to check the generated log files for "ORA-" messages.
The update will show a final report.
Finally, do not forget to copy the tnsnames.ora file, as well as any ".ora" configuration files that is relevant, from the old home to the new.
6 - Apply the latest Patch Set Update in Oracle Database and Grid.
Up to this point, the updating process is done, but it is always good to have all correction patches installed. So, read the article to apply the latest PSU here!
Do not forget to delete the installation files to save space!
