Howto upgrade Oracle Grid 11.2.0.3 to PSU 7

This post is also available in: Português

In this article, we will update a newly installed version of Oracle Grid and Database 11.2.0.3, running on Linux X86_64 (RAC) for the Patch Set Update 7 (11.2.0.3.7), dated July/2013. For this, we need to download the following packages from Oracle Metalink website:

  • p16742216_112030_Linux-x86-64.zip -> PSU 7
  • p6880880_112000_Linux-x86-64.zip -> Latest OPatch version

After uploading the files to the server, we will first update the version of OPatch. To begin, unzip the patch.

As grid, run:

[root@oraclebdsrv01 ~]# su - grid
[grid@oraclebdsrv01 ~]$ opatch version
Invoking OPatch 11.2.0.1.7

OPatch Version: 11.2.0.1.7

OPatch succeeded.

As root, run:

[root@oraclebdsrv01 ~]# cd /u01/oracle_install/patches/
[root@oraclebdsrv01 patches]# echo $ORACLE_HOME
/u01/app/11.2.3/grid

As grid, run:

[root@oraclebdsrv01 patches]# su - grid
[grid@oraclebdsrv01 ~]$ opatch version
OPatch Version: 11.2.0.3.4

OPatch succeeded.
[grid@oraclebdsrv01 ~]$

Now we will upgrade to the oracle user.

As oracle, run:

[root@oraclebdsrv01 ~]# su - oracle
[oracle@oraclebdsrv01 ~]$ opatch version
Invoking OPatch 11.2.0.1.7

OPatch Version: 11.2.0.1.7

Still as oracle, run:

[oracle@oraclebdsrv01 patches]$ mv $ORACLE_HOME/OPatch $ORACLE_HOME/OPatch_11.2.0.1.7
[oracle@oraclebdsrv01 patches]$ mv ./OPatch $ORACLE_HOME/OPatch

[oracle@oraclebdsrv01 patches]$ opatch version
OPatch Version: 11.2.0.3.4

OPatch succeeded.
[oracle@oraclebdsrv01 patches]$

Let's unpack the zip file of the patch as user oracle:

As oracle, run:

[oracle@oraclebdsrv01 ~]$ cd /u01/oracle_install/patches/
[oracle@oraclebdsrv01 patches]$ ls -l

Now let's create the file ocm.rsp.

As oracle, run:

[oracle@oraclebdsrv01 patches]$ $ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/ocm/bin/emocmrsp -no_banner

[oracle@oraclebdsrv01 patches]$

We will now run the patch installation as root user, to ensure that the installation is done directly to BOTH oracle and grid homes::

[root@oraclebdsrv01 ~]# cd /u01/oracle_install/patches
[root@oraclebdsrv01 patches]# /u01/app/11.2.3/grid/OPatch/opatch auto ./ -ocmrf ocm.rsp

Rac system comprising of multiple nodes
  Local node = oraclebdsrv01
  Remote node = oraclebdsrv02

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

OPatch succeeded.
[grid@oraclebdsrv01 ~]$

Great, now repeat all the steps above again to the other nodes in your RAC.

When everything is finished, both instances are cataloged with patches of PSU 7.

Finally, update the database catalog.

As oracle, run:

[oracle@oracledbsrv01 ~]$ cd $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin
[oracle@oracledbsrv01 admin]$ sqlplus / as sysdba

SQL> @catbundle.sql psu apply

Nice. Verify now for the files below in folder $ORACLE_BASE/cfgtoollogs/catbundle by error lines (that begin with ORA-):

  • catbundle_PSU_<database SID>_GENERATE_<TIMESTAMP>.log
  • catbundle_PSU_<database SID>_APPLY_<TIMESTAMP>.log
  • catbundle_PSU_<database SID>_ROLLBACK_<TIMESTAMP>.log

Finally, execute the query below in the database to make sure that the PSU was cataloged in the registry:

SQL> set lines 1000
SQL> select substr(action_time,1,30) action_time,
       substr(id,1,10) id,
       substr(action,1,10) action,

       substr(BUNDLE_SERIES,1,6) bundle,
       substr(comments,1,20) comments
from   registry$history;
