ASM UPGRADE

Hi,
I have some doubt in ASM Upgrade and thats what I would like to discuss this issue here.If I am going to upgrade database,clusterware and asm then the approach should be like below:-->
Database version from 10.1.0.5 to 10.2.0.4
OS AIX 5.3 TL8
(1)install new crs_home clusterware 10.2.0.4
(2)upgrade database to 10.2.0.4 from 10.1.0.5 by installing new Oracle_home
(3) Upgrade ASM from 10.1.0.5 to 10.2.0.4 by installing separate oracle_home.
Here I have doubt in upgrading asm from old to new version.Does it going to affect datafile during asm instance upgrade.If not then what is the method to upgarde asm in such a environment.
Please help me out on this topic.
Thanks in advance!
Mk

Hello Mk,
Take a look on Metalink note 730365.1 (Oracle Database Upgrade Path Reference List) and read the patchset documentation.
You must upgrade ASM before upgrade the database. Then I think the correct order would be (1,3,2) on your case.
Also there are a howto on http://mufalani.blogspot.com/2009/06/applying-10204-patch-on-rac-systems.html

Database upgrade - Oracle 10g r2 ,RAC(2 Nodes with ASM) upgrade from HP-UX to RHEL 5.9

Hi All
I am planning to upgrade our RAC database 2 nodes with ASM from HP-UX to RHEL 5.9.
Following is our setup
Current setup:
Oracle Database 10g r2 (10.2.0.5.0) RAC database.
Nodes: 2
Storage: ASM
OS: HP-UX ia64
Database Size: 1.2 TB
New Setup:
Oracle Database 10g r2(10.2.0.5.0) RAC database
Nodes: 2
Storage: ASM
OS: RHEL 5.9 x86 64
Since we are moving from a big endian format to a small endian format(HP-UX to RHEL 5.9) the same ASM cannot be used.
Kindly help me with process and other important documents to be followed.
Thanks.

Hi...
If it was a standlone database concepts like transportable tablespaces, rman would have been convenient.
Since we are using a RAC database with ASM as storage how do we use these techniques specified in NOTE:733205.1
Due to endianness issue we cannot use the same ASM instance.
Along with the new RAC node install a new ASM instance would have to be created.
Kindly help me with migration for RAC with existing ASM to new Hardware
Thanks and Regards

Oracle 10g RAC with ASM upgrade RHEL3 to RHEL4

Has anyone acheived this or know of any documentation highlighting any pitfalls ?

Hi.
If you are using raw devices for ASM, I would not expect there to be a problem. I would have thought all you have to do is:
- Stop Oracle from starting automatically on reboot.
- Reboot the server and upgrade the OS.
- Make sure all the prerequisites for the new OS are meet (check the isntall guide).
- Startup Oracle.
Note. It may be wise to do a "$ORACLE_HOME/bin/relink all" to make sure.
If you are using ASMLib with ASM, then you will also need to upgrade your ASMLib software, as this is kernel version specific.
Of course, I've never had to do this, so don't take my word for it :) Maybe an SR on Metalink is in order.

GI/ASM upgrade from 11.2.0.1 to 11.2.0.3

Hi All,
I need to upgrade GI running ASM (11.2.0.1) to 11.2.0.3. This is a standalone installation.
1. Can we do a out-of-place upgrade for GI without bringing down the old GI and when I get downtime then upgrade the ASM instance?
If yes wouldn't my root.sh change the /etc/ files used by the old GI and make it unsuable (unlike in RDBMS out-of-place upgrade).
2.what is the rollback strategy for a GI upgrade. If we face an issue?
3.Can I please know the steps to go ahead with this installation!!
I have gone through the oracle documentation but its quite confusing.
Thanks in Advance..

I do not have RAC its a standalone database using ASM

Upgrade ASM Oracle 10.2.0.4.0 to ASM Oracle 11G R2 on Windows 2008 SP2

Please advice on procedure or where I can find information on upgrading ASM from Oracle 10G to Oracle 11G R2 (Winwdows 2008 SP2 64bit environment) for mutiple Oracle instances (not a RAC environrment).
The current scenario is as follow:
- Two oracle homes; one for ASM instance and another for the Oracle Databases (in current case only two oracle instances possiblly more at a later time). Both (ASM and Oracle databases) have the same version of Oracle 10.2.4.0.
The Oracle database home can't be upgraded due to application restricition (Vendor Application not tested on Oracle 11G) but will like to upgrade the ASM instance to Oracle 11G (Oraclle 11G R2).
Questions:
- Is is a feasable solution? Can I upgrade ASM instance to Oracle 11G R2 to take advantage of new features? Will the ASM upgrade scenario is compatible with the Oracle Database Instance running Oracle 10G? Any possible issues that I should be aware or concerns?
Is it possible to have ASM running in Oracle 11G R2 and service the need of Oracle database instance running in 10G?
Please advice or where I can obtained information on the matter. Also possibly if someone has done it on Windows 2008 SP2 (not Windows 2008R2).
Thanks in advance

Thanks so I can upgrade the ASM Home instance and leave the Oracle Databases home on Oracle 10.2.0.4.
I agree with you not just 100%, actually 120%. Fortunately, the vendor is finally understanding by pressure provided by DBAs and Application Teams that they are very behind the curve. It is working and by summer we should have an oracle 11G compatible product.
The same thought went when I was told of their compatability database level.

Albert

Upgrade 10.2.0.4 - 11.2.0.3 with ASM on linux

I'm a bit confused by the oracle upgrade documentation - I need to upgrade to 11.2.0.3 from 10.2.0.4 on linux.
I've got a 10.2 database running ASM. I've tested an 11.2 upgrade last year without running an ASM upgrade or grid intall (just to check some compatibility issues at the time).
However I want to run an ASM and a database upgrade. The documentation says (repeatedly) that you should install grid infrastructure first or you'll need to configure it manually. However when I read the Grid Infrastucture documentation it seems to suggest that if you want to upgrade an existing ASM instance (which I do) then you'll have to do it manually in any case.
My biggest concern is this : will a 10.2.0.4 database work with a 11.2 ASM instance ? If it can't, then surely the thing to do is upgrade the database first.

Just you need to Install Grid Infrastructure Home in a separate home and RDBMS software in another separate home.
While Installing GI you need to create ASM Disk groups.
Refer my blogpost Installation of GI on standalone solaris box:
http://appsdbaworkshop.blogspot.com/2010/10/installation-of-11202-grid.html
ASM rolling upgrade is support from 11gR1 itself. So while upgrade you would bring down you rexisting ASM instance and do the upgrade. So in this process your database wont be available.
See following blog:
http://oracle-install.blogspot.in/2011/03/steps-to-upgrade-10204-single-instance.html
and
http://oracleinstall.wordpress.com/2011/03/23/steps-to-upgrade-10-2-0-4-single-instance-with-asm-storage-to-11-2-0-2/
Following metalink notes are useful for this upgrade processes.

Upgrade to 11.0.2.0.3 in multi home environment and ASM 11.0.2.0.2

Hi,
I have a multi home and multi inventory database environment on one box where I consolidated all my test environments.
Everything is running 11.2.0.2
I have 5 database homes , the ASM/network home and a OEM agent home.
But now I see I have to have a 11.2.0.3 database for Oracle EBS 11i.
Now my question:
Can i only upgrade (out of place) the one oracle home from witch I will run the EBS db?
or
Should I upgrade the ASM home and the EBS db home and keep the other db homes on 11.2.0.2 ?
Where can I find the certification matrix for ASM vs. DB version?
Thank you
Phillip du Plooy

Phillip du PlooyFrom 11gR2 every upgrade is now out-of-place upgrades.
So if you need to upgrade from 11.2.0.2 to 11.2.0.3, the you need to install 11.2.0.3 in new oracle_home first.
And then upgrade your 11.2.0.2 database.
Now the question about ASM- yes you can run 11.2.0.3 database on 11.2.0.2 asm version during upgrade and upgrade your asm later. But i would suggest you to upgrade your ASM first then oracle database.
Here is what you would be doing
- install new 11.2.0.3 and perform ASM upgrade
- install new 11.2.0.3 home for database
- upgrade the database

Upgrade 11.2.0.1 to 11.2.0.3

Sorting out ASM PSU application

Oracle db 11.2.0.1.0 SE-One
Oracle ASM 11.2.0.2.0
Oracle Linux 5.6 64-bit
Single instance db. No RAC.
The system I have inherited (which is my first ASM system) is configured as above. I would like to upgrade everythinig to 11.2.0.3.
It appears that there is one single 112.0.3.0 PSU, which includes both database and grid infrastructure. Looking at the installation guides that come with it, the db installation guide (E24321-06) has a section on ASM and GI. There is also a seperate installation guide (E22489-03) for the GI. The second is bulked up with a lot of stuff pertaining to RAC, which I don't care about, but it is sometimes hard to seperate the two. Both guides talk a spend a lot of time on things that would apply to an initial install and getting asm configured in the first place. I'm having a hard time parsing out what needs to be done just to upgrade an existing asm instance to a new PSU.
Note that I don't have RAC, I'm only upgrading from 11.2.0.2 to 11.2.0.3 -- not a major upgrade like 10.x to 11.x
I certainly don't mind re-reading the docs yet again, but I fear I'm getting to where I can't see the forest for the trees.
Any pointers would be appreciated.

OK, I think I'm closing in on it. I really like the out-of-place patch, but the docs are really leaving something to be desired. Maybe in my old age my brain isn't as sharp as it once was, or maybe I'm just less tolerant of docs that send you on a rabbit hunt. And I realize I used the term PSU inappropriately for what I am looking for.
After looking more carefully I realized I had glossed over the details I was looking for becuase they were under section headers that led me to believe I wasn't interested in that particular content - like single sentence saying to use OUI for an ASM upgrade -- under a section on using asmca....
In any event, I built a sandbox under VBox, installed ASM 11.2.0.1 and database 11.2.0.1, had them working, then used the OUI that came with the patchset for ASM. It was actually pretty painless, with the biggest issue being that the rootupgrade.sh script twice appeard to have hung. A couple of steps took 5-10 minutes each but when I was patient, it eventually finished and my asm instance was running under 11.2.0.3.0. Trying to de-install the old 11.2.0.1 home is another adventure!
Thanks for helping me get back on track.

HAS release version is different than software after upgrade?

This is a standalone server with grid, asm.
it was 11.2.0.2. I installed 11.2.0.3. rootupgrade.sh somehow failed with error saying running asmca waits for password input for asmsnmp. then I used asmca GUI to run the ASM upgrade. it tells me upgrade successfully.
However, after I shutdown old cluster processes and asm and restart them in new version, I got this, HAS software version still shows 11.2.0.2. But ASM is up and fine.
Is upgrade succeeded or not? what should I do now? (frustrated!)

11g R2 Grid Infrastructure asmca cannot detect 11g R1 ASM instance

I am playing with 11g ASM with XEN (one node on host (or dom0) and another node on vm (or dom1)) and was trying to do a Clusterware + ASM upgrade from 11.0.6 to 11.2.0. After solving some stupid problem, (see [rootupgrade.sh failed on 11g R1 to R2 Upgrade |http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=1005424&tstart=0]) so that all services can be started in both nodes, I am trying to upgrade ASM.
I am trying asmca. But it is unable to detect the 11g R1 ASM instance. When started in GUI mode, it just offer to create ASM. When started in silent mode for upgrade, it shows:

Hi Thtsang,
sorry for not coming back to you earlier and thanks for "the helpful".
So, are you saying that after you have removed all the environment variables, you still got the error message "ORA-01034: ORACLE not available"? I thought you got an "ASM upgrade failed", because ASM was down at the time of the upgrade, which you then corrected saying: "In fact, ASM instance was started from Grid Infrastructure home.". Overall, I need to say that I am a bit confused to be honest.
The alert log entry sounds promising, although, one would need to see more context. For: "But when I use crsctl / srvctl to start ASM, it is still running in 11g R1 Oracle Home." So, something went wrong with the update. For: "BTW, if asmca does not work for me, can I upgrade manually?" - ASMCA is the tool that will perform an ASM upgrade. You can call it interactively, but you will have to use it.
Support note ID 950200.1 - "ASM 11gR2: How To Upgrade An ASM Instance To Release 11gR2 (11.2.0.1.0)?" describes an ASM upgrade to 11.2. Maybe this note can help you and if it is only to analyze what stage your cluster is in right now. It sounds like, this would be first thing that we need to find out.
Good luck. Thanks,
Markus

Upgrade 11.2 to 11.2.0.2 out of place

Hi
Im trying to upgrade from 11.2.0.1.0 to 11.2.0.2 is the following bug fix needed ? Im not doing the in place upgrade.. Im doing out of place upgrade?
– Patch the release 11.2.0.1 Oracle Grid Infrastructure home with the 9413827 and 9706490 patches."
Bug 10036834 Linux Platforms: Patches not found upgrading Grid Infrastructure from 11.2.0.1 to 11.2.0.2

Hi,
To clarify:
To upgrade existing 11.2.0.1 Oracle Grid Infrastructure installations to Oracle Grid Infrastructure 11.2.0.2, you must first do at least one of the following:
* Patch the release 11.2.0.1 Oracle Grid Infrastructure home with the 9413827 and 9706490 patches.
* Install Oracle Grid Infrastructure Patch Set 1 (GI PSU1) or Oracle Grid Infrastructure Patch Set 2 (GI PSU2).
Oracle Clusterware and Oracle ASM upgrades are always out-of-place upgrades. With 11g release 2 (11.2), you cannot perform an in-place upgrade of Oracle Clusterware and Oracle ASM to existing homes.source: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/install.112/e17212/procstop.htm#BABEIBEE
Hope this helps.

Upgrade to 11.2.3

Hi expert ,
i have oracle 11.2.2 ASM RAC under OL 5.6
before 2 days i face a bug that the alert log and trace file was groth abnormally and the file system that store that alert and trace is full
and there is no one can access the database from this node and i cleanup manually and after 1 day the issue is disappear the file system is become normal
and all the users can access the database normally , now i have one question please oracle recommende me to upgrade to 11.2.3
but now the bug is not appear is this bug came again ???
also please this is my first time to do upgrade and i'm confuse to do that so i just do install new server o.s same that prod
and do a cloning to my oracle home and my database also so now on test i have oracle 11.2.2 file system sin node under OL 5.6
and i want to test upgrade when i check the document i found there is 2 way

also oracle recommende me to upgrade the ASM so when i will go to prod i will do 4 upgrade
1 node RDBMS AND ASM 2 node RDBMS AND ASM ??? is the ASM upgrade same as the RDBMS ????
thanks .

also please this is my first time to do upgrade and i'm confuse to do that so i just do install new server o.s same that prodHave you read "Oracle® Database Patch Set Notes 11g Release 2 (11.2.0.3) Patch Set 2 E24903-01?" It contains links to other documentation that will assist you with upgrading.
I'm sorry that you're confused, but you can't expect to know how to do complex upgrades without reading and testing. If you're completely lost, hiring a consultant to help you is not a bad idea. Following some simple upgrade walk-through is fine for testing or maybe getting an idea of what is involved... but you should also always read the official documentation.

Upgrade to 11R2 Win Cluster Only?

Hi,
i have seen with new version 11R2 the approch of the installation have change. Now the cluster is part of the Grid upgrade package.
My rac installation is a clusteware 1.1.0.7 and my rdbms is a 10.2.0.3 under Window 2003 sp2.
I there a way i can upgrade my cluster in these step (like in older version)
1- Upgrade cluster only (or cluster and asm)
2- Upgrade Database and ASM
3- Upgrade GRID at the end (because i would like to upgrade all my GRID agents and server at the same time).
I have check the installation doc. and i did not fine a way to do these step in the order i specify.
Thanks

download the document you indicate me in the answer.
Great document, but i still have my question unanswered after i bass thru.
Every time i try to upgrade my cluster the OUI force me to upgrade my GRID (or new installation) before i can upgrade my cluster, ASM and RDBMS.
When i do the step in the OUI, at one point the SCAN ask me for a 'TCP/IP host name lookup', message INS-40718.
Is there a way i can bypass this GRID upgrade (or installation) and go directly to the cluster and ASM upgrade?
If no and i understand the installation documentation, i will have to create 1 new adress for my 3 nodes in the DNS (one alias adress in DNS round robin for the 3 vip adress of my 3 nodes) and added to my HOST file, so the installation can solve it? (at this ponit i'm not shure if the 3 ip adress have to be the 3 vip or 3 new ip adress)
Can you indicate me a example what should i put in my host file for the scan client adress
example:
# public
host1 10.200.0.11
host2 10.200.0.12
host3 10.200.0.13
#vip
host1-vip 10.200.0.21
host2-vip 10.200.0.22
host3-vip 10.200.0.23
#vip
host1-priv 10.200.0.31
host2-priv 10.200.0.32
host3-priv 10.200.0.33
# scna client
host_scan ????????
Thanks
