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.

Need Help in Data migration from standard 10g to standard to 11g RAC

Hi,
We are running an application in Standard 10g (Not RAC). Our service provider has installed a fresh standard 11g RAC and did not transfer the data from 10g to 11g RAC.
I want to migrate the 10g data to 11g RAC.
I wanted to know the followings
1) Easy data transfer technique (Data Pump or RMAN) & How do I do that (Steps)
2) How to backup the fresh 11g RAC (In case of errors in data transfer process to recover the base) (How to do)
Appreciate your help as I only have average knowledge in DBA.
Thanks.

Procedure for migration from 9i Rac to to 11g Rac.

Aim is to upgrade 9i Rac to 11g R1 Rac on Solaris 10.
1) Apply patch on 9i Rac to upgrade it to 11g Rac.
2)Install pre req patches on 9i (Oracle 9.2.0.8)
3) Install 11g Database Binaries. Migrate data of 9i using 11g Software.
Can i use 9i Rman backup to restore and/or recover in 11g? (as recovery is required for a day data).
Please advice me the Best process for the Exercise.
Thanks in advance.

Oracle Database 10G R2 Upgrade to 11G R2

Greetings All,
I am sitting with a peculiar situation and was hoping for some advice.
I currently support an Oracle 10G R2 installation at one of my customers. It is running on Red Hat Linux. I struggle quite a bit with the environment as my customer only commissions the Linux environs without an X environment. Having stated all this, it is my preference to upgrade the databases and schema I have to 11G and put them on Windows purely as it opens up administration to non-Unix personnel. The applications using the Oracle DBs are not very mission critical nor resource intensive so the performance loss by moving to Windows would not be a major consideration (although any comments on this approach will be read with interest).
So to cut a short story long, what would be my easiest upgrade option? I have limited Oracle experience (read: "plenty of tinkering but no training").
Any thought or advice?
TIA
Warren

Welcome to the forums !
Pl see if MOS Doc 733205.1 (Migration of Oracle Database Instances Across OS Platforms) can provide necessary information.

Error Loading External Library - worked on 10g, now upgraded to 11g and not

I have an external C library that have been using for years to extracy binary data (images, docs, pdfs etc) from a blob column in a table
This has been working on Oracle 10.2.0.1 on Windows 32 bit for years.
I have a new server, Windows 2008 64 bit, have installed 11.2.0.1, created a database and done a full datapump export and import.
My application seems to work fine with the exception of this external dll
I have made sure the dll is in the correct directory on the server and the library is pointing to it :
create or replace library EXTERNPROCEDURES as 'C:\oracle\extern\extern.dll';I then have the same wrapper code that works fine on 10g, is there something I need to do on 11g to "authorise" the external dll or anything as I know the security is tighter or is there an issue with the fact this is 64bit Oracle?
I have set the listener.ora to be the same as on 10g

     end loop;
end;Any ideas?
Thanks

I call extract_b from sqlplus, which calls outputstring which fails with the error message posted
Not really sure what else I can provide as I've posted the code for outputstring
The problem is the for some reason Oracle cannot load the dll, I think the code is fine as it has run on 10g, I think the issue is maybe along the lines that there is something extra in 11g I need to do to set the external library up or it's not happy with the fact it's 64bit or the listener.ora needs to be different in 11g or something like that but I am at a loss as where to look

Upgrade Oracle 10g RAC - Oracle 11g RAC on Linux Environment

We are planning to Upgrade our databases to Oracle 10g RAC - Oracle 11g RAC which is Linux Environment. Kindly suggest me the best option for migration. Our production database size is 80GB.
- Frest installation of oracle 11g using export/iimport dumps
- Migration
- Upgrade process
Any information regarding this will be appreciated.

Pl identify exact versions of "10g" and "11g", along with the exact OS versions.

Restoring Back To 10g After A Failed 11g Upgrade Of a RAC Database

I'm testing this out on a small test RAC database. I successfully upgraded it from 10.2.0.4 to 11.2.0.2 but wanted to test the scenario of having to go back to 10g if the upgrade really hosed up. The first recovery attempt seemed to be successful but after bringing the DB down with srvctl, it failed on the next startup saying it needed to be started in upgrade mode. Something from 11g was still in place or the fact that I was trying to restart a 10g database managed by 11g clusterware was the issue. I tried starting the DB from both 10g and 11g environments and got the same result. Even starting each instance individually got the same result.
In all that I tried, I got the usual incarnation and "until time before reset time" messages. I've been doing this all through RMAN without EM or Grid Ctl. As usual, any docs I found have had just a little information and I have to piece my own instructions together from all of them, not knowing for sure it all steps would apply in my situation.
Can anybody point me to a good doc or other resource that might help me out? Many thanks!

Now I have a different issue with apparently the same problem. I successfully did the restore/recover as before but the thing pukes when I open resetlogs at the end. Something, somewhere is still pointing to 11g but I have no idea where or what has changed since the last time I did this. Maybe I've messed things up by doing this multiple times. Here are my RMAN commands:
RMAN> connect target
RMAN> startup force nomount;
RMAN> RESTORE SPFILE TO '+DATA/jimg/spfilejimg.ora' from '/local/oracle/10.2.0/db_1/dbs/c-2526333028-20110915-01';
RMAN> shutdown immediate;
(in a different session, from command line)
% mv /local/oracle/10.2.0/db_1/dbs/initJIMG1.ora.bak /local/oracle/10.2.0/db_1/dbs/initJIMG1.ora
RMAN> startup force nomount pfile='/local/oracle/10.2.0/db_1/dbs/initJIMG1.ora';
RMAN> restore controlfile from '/local/oracle/10.2.0/db_1/dbs/c-2526333028-20110915-01';
RMAN> alter database mount;
RMAN>
run {
restore database;
recover database;
RMAN> alter database open resetlogs;
The errors I get after resetlogs are:
RMAN-00571: ===========================================================

RMAN-03002: failure of alter db command at 09/16/2011 09:24:50

ORA-00704: bootstrap process failure
ORA-39700: database must be opened with UPGRADE option
This is being done on a small, expendable database for practice. I think I've learned enough about what NOT to do to keep me from getting in this jam to begin with. Any thoughts?

Hi,
First of all, you better created a new thread for this question, but still an attempt to answer your questions:
Sizing is a very delicate task. It will be very difficult to size only on database size and # concurrent users.
What anyone in this business would need to know is the processor architecture (Intel/Sparc/Power/etc.) and speed, the type of OS, etc.
The best thing you can do is go to your hardware provider and see if they have anything like a sizing questionnaire to fill in (I know IBM, HP and Sun -at least used to- have them) and send it back to them to come up with a sizing estimate for you.
It is generally better to have the Concurrent Manager away from the database tier. You can consider separate Concurrent Manager nodes, or include them into your application tier nodes.

Open 10g/11g RAC database in Non RAC Mode

Dear Friends,
How i open 10g and 11g RAC database in Non RAC Mode (open single instance in order to perform upgrade)
Later i will convert the upgraded DB to RAC DB

Regards,
DBEdit spfile and set cluster_database=false before starting database in upgrade mode(optionally you can unset other cluster parameters).
So you upgrade using only 1 instance of database.
Once the upgrade is finished start the other instance as well and set cluster_database=true

11i Rapid Clone Not Certified With 10g/11g RAC???

Metalink document 230672.1, "Cloning Oracle Applications Release 11i with Rapid Clone" was updated Feb. 2009 with the following:
February 04, 2009
- Added 11i/10g/11g RAC clarification on Section 4 Steps 6 and 7.
- Corrected incorrect format statements.
The clarification?
Attention: The following steps apply only for 9i RAC Clusters. Rapid Clone is not certified for Cloning 11i with 10g or 11g RAC Systems at this time.
10g RAC support for EBS has existed for quite a while, what's up with this? I'm in the middle of upgrading my 11i EBS on 9i RAC environments to 10gR2 RAC.
Anyone cloning 11i with 10g/11g RAC? How are you doing it?
Disgusted,
Jerry

Take a look Doc ID: 230672.1 on Metalink Section 6 talks about Cloning a RAC system
If you're trying to search for anything on EBS look for Applications 11i, because most docs refer to it as Applications 11i more often then EBS.

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:-
*Different Upgrade Methods For Upgrading Your Database [ID 419550.1]*

Install 11g RAC or 10g RAC

We're in the process getting ready to start the implementation of our first RAC project. We've done a great deal of discovery and prep. We've had Oracle in to discuss the project in detail.
We have one open item. Should we go with 11g RAC or 10.2.0.4 RAC, which is known to be stable.
Is 11g RAC stable enough for production. How does 11g RAC compare with 10.2.0.4 with respect to stability, bugs, etc.
Any real world advice regarding this issue would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi,
yes, 11g RAC is stable enough. You will actually find that quite some fixes were incorporated into 11g first and then backported to 10.2.0.4.
Comparing 10.2.0.4 and 11.1.0.7, you will, however, find that ASM has been enhanced quite a bit. For example:
3.ASM Fast Rebalance
4.ASM Fast Mirror Resync
5.ASMCMD New Commands
6.Preferred Mirror Read
Please, see ML Note "429098.1 - 11g ASM New Feature" for more information.
Aome of these features will only be available to you if you have an 11.1 DB in addition to 11.1 ASM, which might be an issue from the application certification perspective. Nevertheless, some of the features can be used only using 11.1 ASM and 11.1 Oracle Clusterware. The ML note mentioned above will provide you with more information.
BTW, you might want to have a look at ML Note "337737.1 - Oracle Clusterware - ASM - Database Version Compatibility" in this context, too.
Hope that helps. Thanks,
Markus
