Correct way to install patch in Oracle RAC

Hello,
What is the correct way to install a patch in an two-node Oracle RAC 11g on Windows server 2008? Each node has its own ORACLE_HOME.
Do I have to shut down one Node before I patch the other Node?
Or both nodes can be up when installing patch? First do it on Node 1 and then on Node2?
Thank you

Typically you can do a rolling upgrade, patch one node, then the next node without bringing down the entire cluster, but as rui_catcuddler suggested, follow the Oracle instructions as closely as possible.
We have found several bugs with RAC 11gR2 on Windows 2008 R2, some minor, some critical. If this is your Oracle version and platform then try to get to the latest Oracle RAC release 11.2.0.3.
Regards,
Kevin

Correct way to install new MotherBoard?

What's the correct way to install a new MB?
Do I format first, unhook the old stuff and hook up the new then install windows?
Thanks for the time.

Please read this - Moan Guide
Please create a signature of your current system (if you have one!!!) or else of the individual parts you wish to assemble.
When first building a new system it is always preferable to start afresh with clean hard drives, and a fresh OS install.
However, if you already have a system up and running and you are just upgrading the motherboard, then it is possible to keep an existing OS + data installation and update the relevant drivers.
IMHO, unless I had some VERY precious data and no other way of storing it whilst updating, I would start with a newly formatted hard drive and a fresh OS installation.

What is the correct way to install Leopard?

It seems like everytime I upgrade to a new OS, I end up screwing something up. I am borderline thinking about taking my laptop up to the apple store and having them install Leopard for me. Last week in another thread someone posted something saying I should backup my home directory? and save it to my external drive then install leopard and then drag that home directory back over. This was said to be a work around instead of using Archive and Install. I guess I could do that but are there other suggestions out there?
I just don't want to happen what happened when I installed Leopard on my desktop. I had about 4 libraries of stuff and another folder that was marked Previous system and that had a bunch of files and then I had the home directory for the old system! The bottom line I had a lot of stuff that I ended up deleting which freed up my hard drive space significantly.
I would like to make the install on my Macbook Pro clean, simple and painless as possible!
Thanks!
Oh yea if I decide to back up the home directory. Do I just drag the little house icon over to my external drive? If so, once Leopard is installed, do I drag it back to the same location I took it from?

If you don't mind reinstalling all your applications, backup your home folder to an external, boot off your Leopard Disk and go to Disk Utility. Erase your hard drive and format HFS+. Than do an Erase & Install. After that is complete, restart. Once you go through the setup procedures, perform all the software updates until they are all installed. Now move your Home Directory back. Finally, start reinstalling your applications. This will give you a brand new Leopard system that should work fine.
First however, make a bootable clone of your HD to an external drive for backup. You need to erase the drive and format to HFS+ with a GUID partition table. Use Carbon Copy Cloner to make the clone.
To back up the home folder, yes, drag the little house icon to an external, but with the bootable clone, this isn't really neccesary.
This isn't the easiest way to install Leopard, but it gives you the best chance of having no issues.

Correct way to install SHARE POINT 2013 ON WINDOWS 2012 R2

HI
INSTALLING SHAREPOINT 2013 ON WINDOWS 2012 R2 IS NOT SUPPORTED , when i search for this i found a kb article
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2891274
SharePoint 2013 SP1 support in Windows Server 2012 R2,
So in windows server 2012 R2 machine i should install
1) install sharepoint pre requisites
2) run sharepoint setup and install binraries
3)and after download sharepoint 2013 SP1 and install
is the right steps will i do for INSTALLING SHAREPOINT 2013 ON WINDOWS 2012 R2?
adil

Get the SharePoint 2013 w/ SP1 ISO from the MSDN or VLSC (or Download Center if using SharePoint Foundation 2013) -- this is required for Windows Server 2012 R2, other media will not work. Follow the standard SharePoint install process, e.g. run the pre-req
installer, and then install SharePoint.
Once completed, install the appropriate version of SP1 for your product. See http://thesharepointfarm.com/2015/04/list-of-good-sharepoint-2013-service-pack-1-packages/
for a list of packages.

Hi, I'm trying to install CDA Context Directory Agent, but when I install the patch 2 (cda-patchbundle_1.0.0.011-2.i386.tar) , there's the error : "Manifest File not found".

Can anyone tell me what is the correct way to install these patches please?

Upgrading Oracle RAC from 10.0.2.3 to 10.0.2.4 on HP-UX

Hi all,
I have to apply 10.0.2.4 patch to Oracle RAC that running on HP-UX system. I'm inexperienced with this subject. What is your suggestions and recommendations about this? Can you share the your own roadmap and your experience?
Regards,

Hi Alper,
a good starting point for upgrades are the Oracle Upgrade Companions for 10gR2 and 11g - they cover best practices and behaviour changes:

XFI Drivers - Whats the correct way

Considering that after I installed my XFI Extreme music card into my PC and installed the drivers from the CD played games, rebooted and it asks me to reinstall the drivers for the multimedia device.
What is the correct way to install drivers for these cards so that you can reboot your computer without it freaking out?
The only way i've been able to successfully keep the XFI installed is by doing these things in order.
Uninstalling the software
Uninstall the drivers via the CD uninstall tool
Cleaning the registry with aggressi've options (JV 6 power tools)
Using Driver Cleaner Pro and removing all creative audio and Creative audio lite files.
turning the machine off and moving the Sound blaster card to another PCI slot.
Turning back on and using the drivers off the CD.
If i use any other drivers, the Web update 2 or Beta 3, the card will not install.
this is on this system:
AMD Barton CPU 2500+
ASUS A7n8X-x motherboard 00 bios rev
WD800 80 GB hard dri've
Nvidia Geforce 6600 GT vid-card
GB IBM ram

Well this is a strange problem... So what you are essentially saying, is that Windows doen't keep the the records of your newly installed hardware... Or the hardware may be assigned to new resources after restart, which might cause the Installation to commence.
The 2nd can happen pretty often on an ACPI System, or if you change the "Plug and Play OS" section in your BIOS Setup. But even if this happens, Windows should have still kept the Installation Information in its registry, so it wouldn't bother you searching for the drivers.
So I believe it has to lie with your Windows installation...
What exactly do you mean with "the card will not install" with the newer drivers? Are you getting an error message?
Have you tried the?infamous manual installation? (Extract your downloaded drivers, then go to the \Drivers subfolder and execute Setup from there. Select the "...Creative shared files" option.)

I had this problem and resolved it by transporting the file to the installation server with the correct ftp datatype (binary).
On page 54 of the install guide (..Server\Oracle_Business_Intelligence\doc\doc\bi.1013\b31765.pdf) that comes with the installation files, there is an instruction to make sure that any ftp activity is done in binary.
This may not have occured with the license.xml file if you use a tool which offers the "feature" of automatic datatype recognition.
Hope this helps.

How to install Oracle RAC using 11gR2 on Win 7 32 bit from scratch?

Hiii,
I am a fresher and I have a win 7 system 32 bit with oracle 11gR2.
I want to install RAC using two or more servers but I dont know too much about it.
I tried to search on google but all they are giving information in pieces(for win 7) or about Linux(Please tell me why its all Linux everywhere not windows).
Please let me know if there any site where I can find step by step installation from scratch.
What are basic requirements(/software if needed).
Thank you.

Hi,
First of all forget about Windows!! Oracle is mainly designed for Linux systems. Oracle runs as real multi-process on Linux machines whereas on Windows it runs as a single process with multi-thread.
Memory usage - huge pages,single CPU run queue, dnfs, storage systems... etc. lots of concepts exists.
Besides Windows is one of the most poorly designed operating systems, you should use it only to watch cute kitten movies on youtube... Believe me, you wouldn't want to learn Oracle on Windows...
So, install virtualbox and then setup Oracle Enterprise Linux on it as a first step... By the way you have to deal with DNS server for release 11.X, RAC, you may start with 10g for now.
ORACLE-BASE has all the installation steps explained detailly, search for "oracle base rac install" on google.
I also explained on my blog, but it is a little bit advanced installation using ZFS storage simulator. DNS server installation is also explained: http://ilkertaysi.com/2013/11/11/oracle-rac-installation-with-zfs-storage/

PATCH Oracle RAC 10gR2 DB on Linux

Hello,
I want to patch 2 node RAC 10gR2 DB (Standard Edition) on SLES 11. I have patched signle instance DB with OPATCH, but never patched RAC DB, kind of very nervous. I am not able to find generally and also from MOS regarding step by step process to patch RAC 10gR2 on SLES OS. In the readme of the Patch, I do not find step by step detail of how to ....regarding RAC. Following is the information regarding the current setup, please have a look and suggest/help me, as it's a production DB and I'm little afraid to Patch it.
I've also other general questions please, like:
- In RAC, how many homes are normall there to patch? DB,CRS, Grid?
- Clusterware (CRS) and ASM has same home?. Are they same?. Pathing any one means pathing both ASM and CRS, right?

Hello,
Thanks for the reply.
What I noticed before that as ASM-GI has same home, so I need to apply one patch for that. After your reply I am planning to do it like that only.
As I have posted in my main post the versions of patches to apply for Oracle Home. That seems somehow clear to me what to apply and,etc. Can you please suggest which Patch or how to find/select next patch version to apply to ASM/GI home please?
When we select PATCH ADVISOR from MOS, for example in case of DB home, I select DB,Enterprise,Standard editio,9i,10g,11,d, OS Linux-x64,10.2.0.4. DB,OS version etc is OK, but I am confused what to select from that first drop down menu in order to select patch version for ASM/GI ??

I am planning to Patch not upgrade.

Can someone help me out?

Hi,
Are you sure that services this ORACLE_HOME were down.
In RAC environment, choose one of the patch installation methods provided by OPatch (rolling, all node, or minimum downtime), and shutdown instances and listeners as appropriate for the installation method selected.
This PSU patch is rolling RAC installable.
genclntsh: Failed to remove /u01/app/oracle/product/crs/lib/libclntsh.so.11.1This usually happens when you try to remove a lib that is still loaded in memory.
On AIX sometimes the libs are stuck in memory (after kill process), and I use the command slibclean to clear the references lib invalidated. But in HP UX I do not know if you have this command or similar.
