Need to upgrade 9.2.0.6 rac to 10.2.0.4 rac

Hi All,
I need to upgrade 9.2.0.6 2 node rac to 10.2.0.4 2 node rac under 11.5.10.2 EBS
Env Details:
Total 4 nodes:
1st node: Web and forms
2nd node: web and forms
3rd node: Reports, PCP node1, DB node1
4rth node: reports, PCP node2, DB node 2
OS env linux-86-64 2.9 on all the 4 nodes.
Only financial modules are running with some cutomized reports.
Please help me with some or other doc IDs atleast..
Thanks a mil in advance.
Cheers

I'm in the process of upgrading EBS 10.2.0.4 from 9.2.0.8 RAC to 10.2.0.4 RAC.
I was not able to find any one document that provides a procedure to upgrade EBS on RAC. I'm cobbling together a procedure from the following Metalink notes:
362203.1 - Interoperability Notes - Oracle E-Business Suite Release 11i with Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2.0)
316889.1 - Complete Checklist for Manual Upgrades to 10gR2 (DB Upgrade Assistant failed for me...)
362135.1 - Configuring Oracle Applications Release 11i with Oracle 10g Release 2 Real Application Clusters and Automatic Storage Management (we're not doing ASM tho).
Hope that helps. If you happen to run across a Metalink note that does address upgrading an EBS database that is already RAC, please reply :-)
Regards,
Jerry

  • Need to Upgrade to RHEL 5.5 on 10.2.0.4.0 DB RAC Servers

    Hello,
    We need to upgrade the RHEL 4.x OS to RHEL 5.5 on all of our 2-node 10.2.0.4.0 RAC DB servers. I realize that RHEL doesn't support upgrades from MAJOR versions like this in terms that only DB re-linking activities need to be done. As a result, we cannot retain our previous system settings or services. So, we will have simply re-install our CRS and RAC DB binaries (after we back up the pre-existing DB files). Here are my 3 questions which are largely for clarification:
    1.) Does this forum agree with this assessment?
    2.) Is it possible to do this as a rolling upgrade such that exisitng users can use the 1st node while we rebuild the 2nd node - and then switch them over to the 2nd node and we rebuild the remaining 1st node?'
    3.) Does any one have a link or document ID that they might point me to to aid in doing this? Otherwise, I will do what seems the most obvious, back the OS and DB files (mayeb do an RMAN backup as well), let the Sys Admins blow the existing OS away (node by node - see prev question for rolling upgrade question), re-install CRS and RAC and then move the data files in question back to start up the DB.
    Thank you.
    Matt

    The term rolling upgrade refers to upgrading different databases or different instances of the same database in a RAC environment, one at a time, without stopping the database. Oracle supports the rolling upgrade of Oracle RAC (not OS like I wrote previously) in a cluster when both versions of the operating system are certified with the version of the Oracle Database you are running. Rolling patch upgrades are not available if the Oracle Database software is shared across the different nodes. This is the case where the Oracle home is on Cluster File System (CFS) or on shared NFS volumes. The feature is only available where each node has its own copy of the Oracle Database software.
    I doubt that Redhat or Oracle Linux will support in-place upgrades from version 4 to 5. Your only option really available might be to split the RAC cluster and completely setup each node from scratch, than rebuild the cluster. There could be of few changes between EL 4 and 5 that may affect your ability to run a mixed cluster, i.e. raw device support. Sorry, I'm afraid I cannot give you any other practical advise. Perhaps you might want to check the RAC forum at RAC, ASM & Clusterware Installation
    To answer you question about the difference with Oracle Linux. The same versions of Oracle Linux and Red Hat Enterprise are binary compatible. For Oracle Linux 5.5, x86_64, you have an option to install the Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel (UEK), which contains a newer and Oracle optimized version of the kernel, currently 2.6.32. Oracle Linux provides a free public yum repository for software management and other Oracle specific packages. For access to patches you need a subscription to the Unbreakable Linux Network (ULN).

  • Upgrade 10.2.0.4 RAC to 11.2.0.2 RAC using a transient logical standby?

    Has anyone performed a successful upgrade from 10.2.0.4 RAC to 11.2.0.2 RAC using a transient logical standby? I found one reference to this white paper "http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/features/availability/maa-wp-10gr2-transrollupg-168590.pdf" that describes steps to us transient logical standby to upgrade to 11.1.0.6 but I wasn't sure if it also works for upgrades to 11.2.0.2.
    I have a 3 node 10.2.0.4 RAC cluster running on rhel 4.8 with a 3 node dataguard physical standby (which the customer want to keep as a physical standby after the upgrade) that I need to upgrade to 11.2.0.2 with as little downtime as possible. This approach seems like a possible solution but I want to know if it is proven.

  • I have a macbook 4.1 with osx10.6.8 and just added memory (2gig) so I could sync my new Ipome and Ipad.  and Ipad. Now I'm told I need to upgrade my operating system. The apple store gave me conflicting instructions. Any suggestions? Thanks

    I have a macbook 4.1 with osx10.6.8 and just added memory (2gig) so I could sync my new IPhone and Ipad. Now I'm told at the apple store that I need to upgrade my operationg system. They said they couldn't help and gave me conflicting advice about what to do. Any ideas? Thanks you!

    There are three models of MacBook that comprise the 'macbook 4.1' category, and each of them a little different; however other than 'macbook 4.1' the other thing they have in common is they all are considered Early 2008. Two are white, one black, polycarbonate case, Core2Duo 2.1GHz, 2.4GHz white, 2.4GHz black.
    So if you can determine which one, if any of these, is the model build year and spec you have, that would be handy. Did you tell whoever you spoke to the serial number of your computer, so they'd know by looking up the specs to see what the supported maximum RAM upgrade capacity was, and other minimum requirements to make any upgrade to Mac OS X 10.6.8 at all?
    If you have the serial number you can do a lookup to 'indentify by serial number' online, and use that information to determine if the computer needs even more RAM to take it past the minimum for Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and then get it ready to upgrade (via paid download from App Store, Snow Leopard gets you that far) and see what the next supported OS X full upgrade would be for the hardware limitations on that old MacBook.
    If your MacBook IS a 4.1 build, the highest OS X it could run if it has the 2.4GHz cpu, is Lion 10.7.5. That would be an upgrade from the App store, available to OS X 10.6.8+ computers that access it online. And I kind of doubt how supported a newest iphone etc may be in lion.
    everymac.com has a fair amount of information across many years of Apple computing hardware...
    Here's the three MacBooks that share the 4.1 designation; first shipped with as much as 1GB RAM upgrade and the other two only a 2GB RAM*, (one white/one black color) according to this information...
    • MacBook "Core 2 Duo" 2.1 13" (White-08) 2.1 GHz Core 2 Duo (T8100)   
    • MacBook "Core 2 Duo" 2.4 13" (White-08) 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo (T8300)  
    • MacBook "Core 2 Duo" 2.4 13" (Black-08) 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo (T8300)
    ...as seen here: http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook/index-macbook.html
    *But according to MacTracker (free: download database) http://mactracker.ca
    these MacBooks can use more RAM in aftermarket specs as much as:
    Maximum Memory
    6.0 GB (Actual) 4.0 GB (Apple)
    Memory Slots
    2 - 200-pin PC2-5300 (667MHz) DDR2 SO-DIMM
    To get more information use a service such as this...
    •identify by serial number:
    http://www.powerbookmedic.com/identify-mac-serial.php
    The Apple? store or whoever you talked, to may have been as accurate as they could be without further research. Could be you may have a newer or older MacBook, which would change whatever later OS X it could run past 10.6.8. And to go past Snow Leopard, you need to download the last bits for 10.6.x to be able to go and get any later upgrade. The ones that may let a newest iphone or ipad work with it, are past SL10.6.8
    Anyway, as you further verify the model build year and configuration specifications, report back.
    Good luck & happy computing!

    Hi all,
    I need to upgrade my macbook's RAM and hard drive as after 3 yrs of use it is showing signs of aging.
    I am novice in hardware stuff. I am planning on doing it entirely by myself and on tight budget will need to compare the prices across sellers and buy a suitable peice of kit. Please help
    Questions:
    1 - How to find out which RAm do I need to buy and what is the maximum I can go on my macbook?
    2 - How to find which hard drive to buy and what is the maximum my macbook will support?
    3 - Can I buy the SSD drive instead of SATA for this macbook?
    Some of the specs are listed below:
    Hardware Overview:
      Model Name:          MacBook

    Hi Chefjeegar
    Yes that screwdriver kit has the #00 phillips screwdriver that you need to access the RAM and hard drive. You'll also need the Torx driver to change the hard drive. http://www.amazon.co.uk/LINDY-Computer-Technician-Precision-Torx/dp/B0000934GO/r ef=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1348072554&sr=1-1
    For a good explanation about RAM look at the page on OWC http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/MacBook/DDR2/
    In the UK Amazon or eBay might be your best bet for cheap RAM but read the description and reviews carefully. For a little more expensive but with a better warranty is Crucial UK http://www.crucial.com/uk/
    A good resource for working on your MacBook is ifixit.com http://www.ifixit.com/Device/MacBook_Core_2_Duo
    Is your external hard drive formatted for Mac? To transfer your current hard drive I like the free application Carbon Copy Cloner. It makes a bootable copy of everything on your hard drive http://www.bombich.com/index.html Check that it's set up right by booting up from the external drive. Put the new drive in your MacBook, then format and partition the new drive. Then use Carbon Copy Cloner to transfer your OS back to the new drive.
    Yes, you can put an SSD in the MacBook.

    I need to upgrade my MacBook 13" white 2008 hard drive.  I have found a WD6400BPVT western digital Scorpio blue 640GB (5400rpm) SATA 8MB 2.5" will this fit and work? Many thanks for any help

    I had a 640GB HDD in my Early 2008 Macbook and it was just too much it would always freeze up the computer a bit for only a few seconds but ya. Then I realized that it was the size of the HDD that was causing it since the Early 2008 Macbook models can only handle a MAX od 500GB while the Early 2008 Macbook Pros could have a MAX of 640GB (Lucked out there!) lol But ya the Early 2008 Mocbooks can only handle a MAX HDD size of 500GB and that's it!! lol

  • I noticed that Find My iPhone on iCloud hasn't worked since iOS 8 came out. My device uses iOS 7. My question is: do I need to upgrade my device? If not, what should I do? I do not wish to upgrade my device.

    I noticed that Find My iPhone on iCloud hasn't worked since iOS 8 came out. Whenever I try to use it, it always says "All Devices Offline." This is regardless of whether I am in a good Wi-Fi zone or not.  I like to use Find My iPhone to remotely track my battery charging status whenever my phone is charging in a different room. That's been really handy, which is why I really need to get this fixed. No matter what computer I use, the problem is always the same.
    My device uses iOS 7. My question is: do I need to upgrade my device? If not, what should I do? I do not wish to upgrade my device, especially considering the bad things I've heard about iOS 8.
    Feedback would be welcome ASAP.

    You don't need to update to iOS 8 to use Find My iPhone.  If you haven't already tried, go to Settings>iCloud>Find My iPhone and turn it off, then reset your phone (hold the sleep/wake and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release).  After it restarts, turn Find My iPhone back on and see if it works properly now.

  • I need to upgrade the silverlight version that is deployed with the SCCM 2012 client installation

    We have SCCM 2012 SP1 installed and I need to upgrade the version of silverlight that get installed on the client deployement.
    The version that is automaticly deployed is 5.1.10411.0 and this one is not compatible with Firefox.  When you click on Application Catalog it start the browser but it fails to load because of the silverlight plug-in that is not up to date.  The
    version that is working fine is the 5.1.20913.0 and it's already installed on my SCCM site server.
    So that is why I'm looking to upgrade the silverlight that is installed with the SCCM client.
    I know that a simple workarround would be to create a package that would be deployed after the client gets installed, but why not changing the original package at the source instead of installing twice the same software the get the right version!
    Is there someone that could point me where I could upgrade this Silverlight prerequirement software version ?

    Note that I have not tested either of these and they will not be supported by Microsoft. 
    1. Copy your new version of Silverlight.exe to C:\Program Files\Microsoft Configuration Manager\Client\i386
    (you'll have to re-distribute the client package after this).
    OR
    2. You could edit the ccmsetup.xml file with an alternative location for silverlight.exe

I'm assuming it's trying to tell me I have an older iTunes Library, but don't know that.  Geez, maybe people over 60 shouldn't have iPhones, iTunes just bafles me.

    @ BDAqua > I tried your suggestion but no luck. holding opt+command just gave me a blue screen and it rebotted, pushing the disk out of the drive. Yes, the macbook has 1 gb of ram. I realize that the min req. call for 2 gb of ram so i've got an order in for another dimm to put into the machine. Thanks for your suggestions.
    @ a_brody > Yes. The machine was plugged into a power source. The disk promts you to do that and i recall aspect this form other installs. Thanks for the reminder tho! ( btw your second post is like greek to me man!) 
    @ Kuncklesmac > You're right about Snow Leopard being an upgrade from Leopard. I'm aware of this. And yes previously i've been told by Apple that I needed the Box Set (not the family pack.  i am using the family pack for OS Snow Leopard) to upgrade my 10.4.11 mac - they never mentioned adding ram but i figured that out on my own and an apple specialist recommended it when i purchased Snow Leopard and confirmed that I coul duse the Snow Leopard to upgarde from Tiger (10.4.11). I've also read extensively (as i said above) that it isn't necessary (always) to buy the box set. Several 10.4.11 users report having upgraded using the Snow Leopard upgrade disk only (not the Box Set) without trouble on intel macs (also see the apple link i posted). So i'm just ondering how they did it and i cannot. 
    Thanks fo rall yor help!

  • Need to upgrade memory in ppc mac mini

    Does anyone know of a step by step guide with pictures to installing memory in a ppc mac mini? Need to upgrade to a gig to use some graphics software. Thanks,
    Steve

    In sleep mode (STR) the RAM has to be refreshed to
    keep the memory content, so the more you got the more
    power will be consumed on this.
    Having less ram will therefore benefit battery life
    in sleep mode.
    This is only of concern to portable users of course, and the additional RAM has barely any impact on power demand whether from mains-power or battery. Some admittedly, but not much. Nor would it be all that easy to tell what drain it caused since there are other variables involved with battery drain rates too, such as ambient temperature.
    There is still room for improvement in whatever
    algorithm it is that determines when "inactive"
    memory is released. Paging frequently happens after
    copying large files since all memory is in use and
    "recently" so, even if this use is one where the
    content is NOT likely to be needed again.
    The much hyped idea that "old" inactive memory is
    being released when more is needed I find it
    difficult to confirm, or paging would not be needed.
    Simply caching EVERYTHING does not in my mind count
    as an "intelligent" algorithm..
    As much as this may be valid, there is no way the user is able to change the algorithm - it's part of the operating system. As such, the user can really only take such steps as may be possible to improve the working of the system - one significant such step being adding RAM.
    This can be cleared up by running "repair
    permissions" in DU, since it seems to release much of
    the inactive RAM. It would be much better to have a
    small utility to do this, though, if making the OS
    more intelligent is not an option.
    Running disk utility may be an effective method of resolving memory allocations etc, but it then places the onus on the user to monitor the system and manually activate a process. Part of the appeal of MacOS to many people is that it removes much of the onus users of other operating systems feel is placed on them to keep tuning the system - activities which detract from the use of the system.
    Ultimately, I have to say that I have never found the need to do anything of that sort. I do use MenuMeters (a very neat little app to place system monitoring tools in the menu bar and which uses barely any CPU overhead to do so) to watch the status of my system, but only as an occasional troubleshooting aid when I'm testing software or experimenting with the system. That is about as far as I go with anything other than using the system. Certainly, I've not found any need to perform the sort of tasks that are often being recommended, and even the systems I run 24/7 remain efficient in operation.
    I can say that while my G4 was running off a 5400rpm drive, increasing RAM from 768Mb to 1.5Gb quite dramatically improved performance of both 10.4 and 10.2 but had little benefit in OS9 (all booting from separate drives). The effects were rather less noticeable after swapping out to 7200 drives instead.

  • Please help, need to upgrade from 9.2.2 to osx 10.4 Tiger on imac g3 400 dv

    Hello, I would greatly appreciate assistance to upgrade my operating system from 9.2.2 to osx 10.4.10. I have gotten the firmware upgrade installed to 4.1.9. Can anyone tell me what else I need to upgrade to have this computer able to install Tiger 10.4, on an imac g3 400 dv slot loading.....
    Right now when I try to install the disc 10.4 using the option key at restart, it wont load the install disc. Any help would be appreciated , thank u in advance!!!!!!!

    Hi, thank u for responding, my harddrive is 10 gigs, and my memory ram is only 64 megs, I ordered 2 512 mg from 18004memory.com and it didnt work , the computer said there was a memory issue. So I returned the memory back to 18004 memory.com...... I will neve ruse them again , because on their website they stated its guranteed to work and is compliant with imac 400 dv. They stated they will send me another set from another manufacturer, but to return the memory first.....
    I know I meet all the requirements for tiger , except for the ram which apple says I need 256 mg,
    But I was referring to any firmaware upgrades or bios upgrades or any of those type of programming upgrades to ready it for tiger, I know I installed the 4.19, and went from os 9.0 to its current 9.22, I think that alone was 5 upgrades. I think I might be missing an upgrade or maybe not. I will run the utility u posted and thank u for that.....
    Apple told me that I can installl tiger 10.4.10 on this computer.
    The install discs I bought on ebay state imac MAC osx install disc one and there is and install disc 2, it says AHT VERSION 3A127, and dated as produced in the year 2007. it colored grey , but doesnt have the black X like someone else posted it should have
    Oh and it does open the files in 9.22, it does mount, and it does have folders,
    Thank u for ur help as I progress to ultimately saving this imac....
    many thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
