10g RAC upgrade to 11g RAC

How to perform 10g RAC upgrade to 11g with Dataguard in place?
OS=LINUX
RDBMS=10.2.0.4
DG=PHYSICAL STANDBY
Below is my understanding
1)Install 11g CRS in NEW_CRS_HOME
2)Install 11g in NEW_ASM_HOME
3)Install 11g in NEW_RDBMS_HOME
4)Export the new NEW_ORACLE_HOME and start up the database with startup upgrade.
5) Run the catupgrade.sql script.
Are there any other steps involve?
In case I have to rollback then how to rollback CRS.

Personally I would use DBUA instead of catupgrade.sql, but make sure you follow the upgrade documentation for pre-checks etc. You will also need to use netca to recreate the sqlnet listeners in the 11g homes and register with 11g CRS.
CRS is generally fairly quick to re-install and re-register databases, and this is cleaner than trying to restore OCR and VOTE disks etc. If you prefer to rollback be sure you backup the OCR and VOTE disks (e.g use dd), backup /etc/oracle, CRS_HOME, /etc/init* scripts etc.
The dataguard standby database should roll forward through the upgrade, but you will need to manually register the standby with 11gCRS. Make sure you have your DB and Log create_file_dest's set, as well as standby_file_management=auto. Personally I would manually recover the standby after the upgrade in case I need to use it to fallback.

RAC upgradation 9i to 11g R2

Hi,
I have been given the requirement to migrate a 9i RAC 3 node database( 9i cluster) to 11g R2 RAC database iam looking for a document or steps to do this activity. any help on this is highly appreciated.
should I upgrade the cluster first and then upgrade each node one by one or I should upgrade the cluster and upgrade all the home in one go ?
Thanks,
Satish Abraham.J

Hi,
Since you are using RAC database , you need to upgrade Clusterware (11.2.0.3) first , then RAC database upgrade(11.2.0.3).
For RAC Upgrade to 11.2.0.3 we have following options/upgrade_methods available:-
+1.Manual Upgrade (using catupgrd.sql script)+
You have to do this in two steps:-
9.2.0.3 ---->9.2.0.8 ----> 11.2.0.3
+2. Using DBUA (Database Upgrade Assistant)+
+3. Export / Import+
If you have MOS access, then you can refer following Note:-

Oracle 10g RAC to 11g RAC Upgrade on Solaris

Hi,
We are planning to do a migration of a 4 Node Oracle 10g RAC on Solaris 9 to 11g with Solaris 10. We'd like know what would be the best path to take. We cannot afford any downtime!
Options: Are these feasible? Which option is best? Any documents links?
a) Do a rolling upgrade of Oracle from 10g to 11g. Then take down individual nodes and upgrade the Solaris OS from 9 to 10 and bring them up back into the cluster. Is there any known issues taking this path? Is a rolling upgrade like this possible?
b) Do an upgrade of the Solaris OS from 9 to 10 on each node and then bring them back up? Is this practical? Does Oracle allow different versions of OS running on different nodes?
c) Use Dataguard with 2 different RAC environments (2 nodes each). How would this work? Is it the only possible way? Any steps please?
Thanks

a) Do a rolling upgrade of Oracle from 10g to 11g. Then take down individual nodes and upgrade the Solaris OS from 9 to 10 and bring them up back into the cluster. Is there any known issues taking this path? Is a rolling upgrade like this possible?Hi,
first of all i would not change several components (OS, database version) at a time. My recommendation is to make small steps and start with the operating system first. Seconds recommendation is to test and test everything in your dev or test environment prior doing the upgrades in the productive environment. Trust me: You will face problems :-) So you better try it beforehand!
b) Do an upgrade of the Solaris OS from 9 to 10 on each node and then bring them back up? Is this practical? Does Oracle allow different versions of OS running on different nodes?As far i know you can run different operating system versions on different nodes if they are supported (Solaris 9 and 10 are).

10.2.0.5 to 11.2.0.4 RAC upgrade w/11i

Dear All,
I wanted to inquire if someone can provide high level guidance for a 10GR2 to 11Gr2 upgrade while staying on 11.5.10.2. My two core Metalink docs are the first two below but wondering if there is an Interoperability Note specifically for for a 10g to 11g upgrade within 11i... just curious if I am missing a core doc, i haven't been able to find one specifically in metalink other than the ones below.
Thanks in advance!, Jeff

My two core Metalink docs are the first two below but wondering if there is an Interoperability Note specifically for for a 10g to 11g upgrade within 11i
No other docs are available or needed here, as you mentioned the first two docs are the main ones, first one to upgrade/configure RAC to 11gR2 which refers to the interop docs for the database upgrade.
... just curious if I am missing a core doc, i haven't been able to find one specifically in metalink other than the ones below.
What other doc are you looking for? Do you see anything missing in the docs you already have?

10g RAC upgrade

We are planning to install 10gR2 RAC on Sun solaris 10 with Veritas and Hiatchi SAN. After that, we would like to upgrade 9iRAC database to 10g RAC.
We tried once, the CRS install was okay.
But, we couldn't bring dbua up ( We made sure Xwindow setup is fine etc.. ).
Can somebody share the environment variables to, set before we start DBUA and also during CRS install.
Also, if you have a good document to upgrade 9iRAC to 10gRAC on Sun solaris with Veritas.
Thanks

10gR2 single instance to 11gR2 rac upgrade

Can someone tell me some good approach for upgrading a single instance 10.2.0.2 database of approx size 2TB to 11.2.0.3 rac 2 node db on linux.

Hi;
1. You can upgrade your db to 11gr2 first than convert it to rac
2. You can use RMAN and restore it to new 11gR2 server
3. You can use expdp/impdp to new 11gR2 server

RAC upgrade OS

I am looking for some information on upgrading the OS in a 4-node RAC cluster. Specifically, I need to go from RHEL v4.3 to RHEL v4.7. Is there any documentiaon on this process? I have not had any luck finding any. For minor updates, can you remove the node, update, and add back to the cluster? Many thanks to any help/feedback.

Hi buddy,
I am looking for some information on upgrading the OS in a 4-node RAC cluster.
Specifically, I need to go from RHEL v4.3 to RHEL v4.7. Is there any documentiaon on this process?
I have not had any luck finding any. For minor updates, can you remove the node, update,
and add back to the cluster? Many thanks to any help/feedback.If You you want to keep the system up, You'll have to upgrade node by node, If You can keep the system down for the maintanace shutdown the CRS in all nodes.
Basically, If you want to upgrade the OS with Your system up, You'll have to rolling upgrade OS in a cluster (upgrading node by node)
The procedure would be something like this.
1 - Go to node 1
1.1-shutdown the instance
srvctl stop instance -d <DB_NAME> -i <INSTANCE1>
1.2-shutdown the ASM in this node
srvctl stop asm -n <NODE1>
1.3-shutdown the nodeapps
srvctl stop nodeapps -n <NODE1>
1.3-shutdown clusteware (executing as root user)
crsctl stop crs
2 - Upgrade/patch the OS
3 - Relink the binaries for RDBMS
3.1- cd $RDBMS_HOME/bin
relink all
4 - Relink the binaries for ASM
3.1- cd $ASM_HOME/bin
relink all
PS: CRS doesn't need to be relinked
5 - Startup the cluster in this node (executing as root)
crsctl start crs
6 - Verify if all resources are up and valid
7- Repeat the procedure from steps 1 to 6 for the rest of the nodes in this clusteware, node by node.
The references that You want to are:
1- Certification matrix:
"Oracle Clusterware and Real Application Clusters support mixed servers in the same cluster,
as long as the servers run the same operating system (e.g., same OS binary).
You can build a cluster of machines of different speeds and size.
In addition, Oracle supports the rolling upgrade of the operating system in a cluster
when both versions of the operating system are certified with the version of Oracle Database you are running.
Note mixed operating system versions are only supported for the duration of an upgrade (i.e., 1-2 hours)
--the cluster should never be operated with mixed operating systems for an extended period.
Oracle Clusterware and Real Application Clusters do not support heterogeneous platforms
(e.g, machines having different chip architectures) in the same cluster."
2- Metalink note: 444595.1 (Is It Necessary To Relink Oracle Following OS Upgrade?)
3- Metalink note: 220970.1 (RAC: Frequently Asked Questions)
"Is relink required for CRS_HOME after OS upgrade?
Oracle Clusterware binaries cannot be relinked on shiphomes. So to answer your question no, there is not need to relink Oracle Clusterware binaries. "
PS: DON'T FORGET OF VALIDATTING THE PROCEDURE OPENING A SR FOR THAT!!! VERY IMPORTANT!!!
Hope it helps,
Cerreia

RAC Upgrade

Hi,
Currently our production is running on 10.2.0.1 RAC. I need to upgrade to it to 10.2.0.5 RAC. Do I test my application on 10.2.0.5 RAC ??? Or testing application on 10.2.0.5 stand-alone is enough??
Need your valuable suggestion
Regards,
Saikat

Saikat Banerjee wrote:
So, I understood from your reply that 99.99% (thanks you mentioned the exceptions where it may not work) cases the app will work for 10.2.0.5 RAC since its a same release..i.e, 10gR2.I have a major PL/SQL application originally written for 10.1.x RAC, that ran without problems on 10.2.x RAC, and is currently running on 11.2.0.1 RAC.
PL/SQL and SQL code are very unlikely to suddenly fail due a patchset upgrade.
If we would migrate the DB to 11g or new release then we should have tested it on RAC setup. Am I correct?Ideally, yes. But then is the test environment identical to production in order to perform a valid test? Same h/w, same storage, same operating system, same data, same configurations, same everything, except for a newer db version?
In my experience, this is never the case. Test and development environments never match production - so you cannot say with 100% confidence that the testing the application on development/test platforms mean not a single error or problem on production.
There is no such thing as a risk free upgrade. Despite what some (especially management types) would like to think and demand.
The issue is to identify what the risks are. What functionality is used? How complex is this? How well is it instrumented? Etc.
Once these have been identified, one needs to decide how to mitigate and manage these risks.
For a standard PL/SQL application (average complexity using common features), I would not be overly concerned to upgrade the database after minimal testing. For a complex PL/SQL application using web services, hooks into JMS via AQ, relies on X/Open distributed transactions using Oracle XA, and so on - this complexity increases the risk and the need for more extensive testing.

Group ID is different across the node during 11203 RAC upgrade

Hi,
DBA is the primary group in all the 3 nodes but with different group ids. cluvrfy shows as the ids are different across the nodes.
Different group ids on 3 nodes will cause any problem during the upgrade ? Please let know I got stuck up in mid of the upgrade.
Thanks,
NR

oinstall , the oracle inventory group should be the primary group for oracle (and grid user if you are uing role separation )
Yes , group ID and user IDs must be same across all nodes. This was a pre-requisite even for 10.2 Cluster Installation.

10.2.0.3 Rac upgrade to 11.2
