Hardware / OS and Oracle upgrade

We are currently running AIX 4.2.1 with Oracle 7.3.4. We will be replacing our hardware which will have
AIX 5.1 and Oracle 8.1.7.2 installed. Our databases total approximately 60GB. What would be the best way
to migrate while having a minumum amount of downtime?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

hi there !
a challenging task indeed !
i guess the best way would be :
simply transfer the existing application (7.3.4) in new hardware & OS (5.1)
(i hope oracle 7.3 works on AIX 5.1)
and then migrate oracle 7.3 to 8.1.7
good luck

  • Db13 after system copy and oracle upgrade.

    Dear support,
    I have 40B system with Oracle 8.1.7.4 with SID as PRD. Now i have copied the same to TST system and i forgot to perform ops$ mechanism setup in TST system as part of post database refresh.
    Now i have upgraded database to oracle 9.2.0.5 and since DB13 jobs are not getting executed i have done following settings,
    New SID is TST.....
    create user "OPS$TSTADM" identified by TST;
    grant connect, resource, dba to "OPS$TSTADM";
    CONNECT "OPS$TSTADM"
    select * from dba_users where username like 'OPS%' ;
    alter user "OPS$TSTADM" temporary tablespace PSAPTEMP ;
    create table sapuser as select * from "OPS$prdADM".sapuser ;
    select * from dba_tab_privs where table_name = 'SAPUSER' ;
    create user "OPS$SAPSERVICETST" identified externally ;
    grant select, insert, update on sapuser to "OPS$SAPSERVICETST" ;
    create synonym "OPS$SAPSERVICETST".sapuser for "OPS$TSTADM".sapuser ;
    grant sapdba to "OPS$TSTADM" ;
    grant connect, resource, sapdba to  "OPS$SAPSERVICETST";
    alter user "OPS$TSTADM" identified externally ;
    revoke dba from "OPS$TSTADM" ;

  • Veritas Hardware Cluster and Oracle Data Guard

    Hi,
    Actually we use Veritas Cluster Server for our Database Configuration. So we have a hardware standby cluster. In case of a failure the VCS does a failover, as you know ;-)
    But now we are planning to use DataGuard for having a logical standby database for reporting cases. I just read something about a VERITAS CLUSTER SERVER AGENT for DataGuard.
    What do I have to do (is there a possibility without using the Veritas Agent) for having a standby failover solution with Veritas and also a DataGuard Configuration.
    What is going to happen if the Cluster does a failover? Will the Data Guard configuration be alive or is it going to break?
    Please give me some advice. Maybe you have some links for articles that handle this topic.
    Thank you very much in advance,
    Henrik Ruenger

    In terms of feasibility, yes, you can definitely have a database running on a Veritas Cluster Server and (at the same time) a Data Guard physical standby database.
    If you are mentioning "VERITAS CLUSTER SERVER AGENT for DataGuard" by Symantec, I don't know the product in details.
    What I can say is that you are definitely able to monitor and administer an Oracle Data Guard configuration by using just products that come with the Oracle licence.
    In case of a failover, as long as your Oracle Net setup is resilient to the failover, Data Guard is as well. So, the short answer is: no it is not going to break.
    I have setup this architecture several times with no problem.
    Of course this is just high level.
    Please let me know if you need more high level info.
    Thanks and regards,
    Corrado

  • Oracle Upgrade 8.1.7.4 to 10g in Red hat linux

    Dear All,
    We are planning to upgrade our oracle database from 8i to 10g along with the Redhat linux upgrade from  2.4.9-e 27 ent to Red Hat Linux 5. In my study and also from Installation guides and oracle upgrade guides I made sure that its possible to upgrade our database from 8.1.7.4.
    So I have planned the below options to do the same and not sure about the possibilities. If anyone have thoughts and idea on the same please suggest me.
    We dont have plan to migrate the development hardware and the sap version is 4.7E
    Option 1: Upgrade the Linux to 5 and then upgrading the database to 10g usign upgrade assistant tool
    Option 2: Export the database using sapinst tool and then crashing the server. Installing linux5 and importing the database using sapinst tool.(I am aware this is not a good idea since there is no migration in hardware but it will be helpful in production since we are migrating the production system).
    Option 3: Performing DBUA assistant in development and sapinst method in production.(helpful in disaster recovery)
    Could you please suggest on the same?
    My query is that.
    If i am performing oracle export from 8.1.7.4 and if i am import the same in oracle 10g using the sapinst tool. Will this work? or it will create a problem in table level. I am looking for answers for this Question. Kindly explain me on this.
    Regards

  • Regarding Doubt of oracle upgrade and oracle migration

    Hello,
    What is the diffrence between oracle upgrade and oracle migration, duirng any one of this is oracle going to touch oracle database and its data?
    Regards,
    V.Singh

    Singh wrote:
    Oracle migration means most likely from non-oracle database to migrate to oracle DB or lower hardware platform to higher/advance hardware platformI would say so. Note Oracle was also confused about word "+migrate+" since it was used till 9i to open the database in a special mode to upgrade the database itself. Nowadays, on 10g+, the command became "+upgrade+".
    In oracle upgrade we are updating oracle's new software version (9i to 10g) or patchset (102.0.2 to 102.0.4), once software is updated we giving command statup upgrade , during this phase some scripts are updating data so i belive it is updating oracle realted views,data dictionary,functions,triggers etc etc , instead of touching oracle data.Yes, upgrade script modify Oracle data and objects dictionary, but do not modify user's data and objects (if we expect a recompile of invalide objects as recommanded by the latest step of an upgrade).

  • Backups and exports taking longer after Oracle upgrade 8.1.7 to 9.2.0.6

    We recently upgraded Oracle from 8.1.7 to 9.2 and also applied HP-UX OS patches after the upgrade....now the backups, exports and batch jobs are running little longer (1 hour longer)...any known issues?

    For Batch jobs -- Try analyzing your database schema's referred by batch jobs. Also look if you have suff o/s resources as recommended by oracle for running Oracle 9i software.
    For backups -- Check the size of your dmp file before upgradation and after upgrading to 9i. If you do not find major diff in size then it could be a resource issue like cpu usage / io / memory.
    Thanks,

  • Query ON ORACLE AND OAS UPGRADE PLAN

    Currently we are running Oracle Server 7.3.4 Under Unix (SunOS5.7) with access to a Sybase 12.5.0.1 via Oracle-Sybase Transparent Gateway 4.1.1.0.0.
    For the web services, we use OAS 4.0.8.1. Our web applications are based on Javascript and Oracle PL/SQL to generate HTML.
    We plan to upgrade the Oracle Server from 7.3.4 to Oracle 9iAS version 9.2.0.1.
    Our quetions are :
    1) Is it necessary to upgrade OAS 4.0.8.1 to Oracle 9iAS?
    1a)If we have to upgrade then which version of 9iAS (9.0.2, 9.0.3, 9.0.4)is compatible?
    1b)what change, if any, do we have to make to our exisiting applications(Javascript, HTML and PL/SQL-generated HTML) (we understand that the application logic would not have to be change in any
    way. Is this so?)
    2) Are Oracle Server 9i and Oracle 9iAS Application Server compatible with the SunOS5.7 Unix or is an upgrade to a later version necessary?
    3) Do we need to upgrade the Oracle-Sybase Transparent Gateway if we upgrade the Oracle Server to Oracle9i and if so, to what version?
    Please confirm that Oracle9.2 has a Gateway to Sybase 12.5.0.1 that will support the features of 7.3.4 gateway (i.e it is downward compatible to 7.3.4
    gateway).

    Not real sure if this is doable or would help, but perhaps you can load the access table into an Oracle Global Temporary Table? See http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/8i/TemporaryTables.php (and google on it). I think I'm assuming your 11 hour query had something to do with shovelling a bucketload of data to the access side, perhaps if you could show us the plan on the Oracle side that access was generating to get the Oracle data there might be a different answer.
    Oftentimes cross-db tools won't use Oracle features like analytics, or do slow-by-slow row processing where a short procedure could do things within the Oracle sql engine and return data in larger arrays.
    Sometimes mass data cleansings benefit from using server side tools outside of the db. Do you have the data from before it was loaded to Oracle? What Oracle platform are you on?

  • Anyone upgraded Linux OS and Oracle to 64BIT? - How to?

    Anyone upgraded their nodes in their cluster from 32 bit OS to 64 bit - and also upgraded their 32 bit oracle 10.1.0.5 to 64 bit 10.2.0.2?
    Anyone have a good draft on how to complete this task?

    I haven't did this one.
    You need to install fresh instead upgrade as the Oracle binaires will be different for 32 and 64. Database file conversion, you may rman. I believe, rman have some option to convert different OS bit format.

  • Coyotepoint E350 and OracleAs 10g Hardware Load Balancing SSL

    Hi:
    Has anyone been successful using a CoyotePoint E350 with XCEL SSL accelerator card and OracleAS 10g with SSL to hardware load balance an HTTPS site?

    You're on the right track adding the SSL certificate to the Load Balancer. I'm not really sure what you mean 'without the use of Webcache'? However, if I had the choise, I'd always add the certificate to the Load Balancer.
    A good document setting up a load balanced environment is the Enterprise Deployment Guide. Chapter 8 describes the tasks for a Forms environment.

  • Oracle Upgrade from Oracle RAC 9.2.0.6 to Oracle 10.2.0.4

    Hi All,
    Currently, we are running 4 node Oracle RAC environment with below mentioned configuration.
    OS: Sun Solaris 5.9
    Hardware: Sun E2900
    Oracle Version: 9.2.0.6
    Veritas Cluster Server: 4.1
    We want to upgrade Oracle version to 10g, and currently analyzing the options to perform this. The current database size is 1TB appx and we want to spend minimum application shutdown time running on this database.
    As part of upgrade, we also need to upgrade Veritas Cluster Server from 4.1 to 5.1 to support Oracle 10g. It would be great help,, if someone can pass some guideline to perform this task.
    We are currently thinking about piecemeal approach, where we can upgrade each node individually and then put them back to cluster. There are some complexities involved, and its really high risk approach.
    Thanks a lot in advance for help
    Regards,
    Manoj

    Orcale 10g RAC requires you to install Oracle Clusterware. Oracle Supports running it along side a 3rd party clustering software. Not sure why you're so anxious to upgrade Veritas Clusterware when it will be trivial on the 10g db hosts.

  • Problem with Java 5 and Oracle 10g JDBC driver

    Hi All,
    Currently we upgrade our web application to Java 5 and Oracle 10.2 JDBC driver. And we encountered a bug, when the user entered the information through UI and data didn't store into database (Oracle 9i). The problem is that this bug is not happend so often maybe once a day and this did not happen before we upgraded to Java 5 and Oracle 10.2 JDBC driver. Does anyone encounter the same problem ? Is this Java 5 problem or Oracle JDBC driver problem ?
    Thanks,

    sounds like a database problem...
    Are you using a driver version that's supported for your database engine?
    What else did you change? We once ran into a major bug in our application that had for 5 years been masked by performance problems in our hardware and infrastructure.
    Once those were resolved the bug showed itself and caused tens of thousands of records to be erroneously inserted into our database every day.
    It's certainly NOT a problem with your JVM (if it's a decent one, like the Sun implementation).
    So it's either your database, your driver, your network (dropping packets???), or your application.
    The upgrade may just have exposed something that was already there.

  • Failed Hardware Scan and other issues E440

    Hi all,
    This is probably more rant than anything, but I wanted to give a heads up to others too.
    I have a ThinkPad E440 that is a year old. From the very first time I turned it on, there have been issues. The first hardware scan (via Lenovo Solution Center - LSC) showed a warning for the Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 Local Connection Test. There were also tons of System Events that always show up in the "Configuration History" part of the LSC. You can look at the calendar and tell exactly which days I used the computer because there will be System Events generated each day. Things like app crashes and failed drivers.
    In July 2014, I got the first warning for the 16 GB SSD - the SMART Short Self-Test. By February this year it showed as failed for each hardware scan (these were initially set up to run monthly).
    Also the whole time I've had it the touch screen would just stop working at some point and I would have to reboot to get it working again.
    I finally called Lenovo on March 30th, before my warranty expired. When I called that time, I didn't realize the hard drive failure was the SSD. So they sent me a new 500 GB drive. I also added the other things into the case when I talked to them. For the wireless issue they suggested making sure the driver was up to date. I did this and let them know when I called back that it was up to date and still having the warning. So I called them to tell them to tell them about the wireless and also that I realized it was the SSD having the failure, not the main drive. The first case had already been closed even though none of the other items were addressed.
    So they opened another case (this is #2). They said to mail them the laptop since the wireless issue would probably be on the board and it wasn't something I could fix myself. They sent a box with a prepaid overnight shipping label. I was very sick for a few days so I sent it back to them on April 10th (a Friday). Via UPS I saw it was delivered on Saturday. Work was performed on it Monday, April 13th and sent back to me that very day. I received it on April 14th. This part of the service has been excellent - very fast response.
    Being in IT, I included a letter with the laptop that outlined the issues that should have been in the case. I also printed the hardware scans and what the system events looked like.
    When I got the laptop back, the sheet inside said they had replaced the Speaker because of Distorted Sound. This was not even on the list even though I had noticed it. I didn't even power up the laptop before calling them again - yes, I was furious! Plus our power was out...
    So this was noon on the 14th. They opened case #3 and sent me ANOTHER BOX so I could send it back.
    After our power came back on the 15th, I powered up my laptop. I opened the browser (I have it set to restore the previous session) and there was a sexually explicit video on YouTube. I opened the other browser and there was a different video on YouTube. So this person was watching YouTube instead of fixing my laptop. I looked through both browser histories and there was quite a bit of activity while my laptop was at the repair center... I ran the hardware scan - still failed and a warning for the wireless. They really hadn't done anything.
    I also found two pictures of the repair person in the recycle bin...
    So I called back. I was LIVID! They opened another case (this is #4). And sent me ANOTHER BOX. I finally learned the other day that once a case is opened, it cannot be edited or added to at all. Instead, they close the other case and open a new one. I guess their turnaround time for closing cases is excellent! I've never seen a system like that - and I've used a lot of them.
    I got a really nice, patient fellow on the line. He took all my info (again). I emailed him the pictures, screen captures of the YouTube videos, the letter I had sent - everything. He entered as much into the new case as he could - he talked to one of the supervisors to make sure he did it right. Somehow he flagged it so that the laptop would get more attention (time) at the repair facility. He also opened a separate case (an escalation ticket?) for a supervisor to call me regarding the person's conduct at the repair facility. He said they would call me that day. (It's now the 25th and I've never heard from anyone)
    So, he sent me ANOTHER BOX. I've built up quite a stack of them.
    Our power was out AGAIN from the 17th through the 19th (don't get me started).
    I noticed a hardware scan had now gotten a failure on the main hard drive. So I called them on the 21st to add this to the case before sending the laptop back. The girl said they can't add anything to an existing case or edit it at all once it's opened. She would have to open a new case and SEND ME ANOTHER BOX. I told her to forget it because I was ready to send it in and didn't want to wait for another box. I also asked for a status on that "escalation case" where the supervisor was supposed to call me. In order to do this she, yes, wait for it, had to open ANOTHER CASE!! So they would know I wanted a status. I'm completely dumbfounded.
    So I sent it back on the 21st. This time I practically wiped it. I had already removed all my files the last time, but I had left my bookmarks and browser history intact.  I set up a guest logon with admin privileges. I updated my letter and printed off more stuff to include with the box. On one sheet I had only the case number, the serial number and machine type. On another sheet I had "DO NOT SEPARATE THIS PAPERWORK FROM THE LAPTOP" and the case number. I put this sheet on top (The guy on the 15th said my letter and stuff may have gotten separated from the laptop once it was delivered to the repair facility). I used a ton of staples so it would all stay together. I included in my letter the failure on the main hard drive and asked if they could look at it. I wrote about having to open a new case if I wanted to include it.
    They received it on the 22nd. A nice gentleman from the repair facility called me that day asking about the password. that. was. written. on the sheet they have you fill out. I told him what happened last time and also mentioned the hard drive failure and asked if he could look into it. He said they would.
    I received my laptop back yesterday morning.The sheet that came with it said they had "replaced the following parts to complete the repair of your laptop."
    Part Description                                           Symptom
    IMAGE                                                             Replaced due to engineering change
    System board                                                 Network card error
    Hard disk drive                                                Network card error
    ECA-WIRELESS                                            <no symptom listed>
    There was also a sheet saying they had installed a factory preload of software and I needed to install Lenovo and Windows updates.
    When I booted it up, the first thing I noticed, in the lower right corner was:
    Windows 8.1
    SecureBoot isn’t configured correctly
    Build 9600
    I ran a hardware scan. Well, I tried. It stopped part way through and said it finished successfully but most of the tasks showed up as cancelled. I tried to run it again - issues - rebooting ensued. It said the LSC wasn’t available and that I should try again or reboot.
    Tried several times. Then got what I guess is the new BSOD - kinder, gentler:
    Your PC ran into a problem and needs to restart. We're just
    collecting some error info, and then we'll restart for you. (xx% complete)

    Even though the LSC said my Lenovo files were all up to date, I ran the Update. And first I had to download a new version of Update. Then I downloaded all of the Lenovo updates and installed them (there were quite a few). The BIOS update failed. While I was doing the Lenovo downloads, I got a light blue screen but no text (I was out of the room so I'm not sure what happened). Did CTRL-ALT-DEL and it shows only IE and Task Manager as applications that are running. Could not “Switch to” IE. Hitting window key to go to start didn't do anything. So I had to restart.
    By 3pm yesterday there were 34 system events in the configuration history.
    I ran the hardware scan again after I updated the Lenovo files, and you guessed it! Failure on the SSD (SMART Short Self-Test) and warning on the wireless. Nothing had changed. Except hardware scan is acting different than it did before I sent in the laptop for repairs. When it finishes, it instantly closes and just shows 100% complete. When I click on "see last results" it shows a screen called
    Log Information,
    Canceled 04/24/2015 n:nn pm 
    You have not done a hardware test on your computer
    And the calendar in LSC only shows the very first hardware scan I did on Friday. Even the hardware scan screen shows the date and time of the last scan. It also shows the error code. In order to see exactly what is failing, I have to sit there and watch it very closely and snap a picture of the screen as soon as the error (or warning) shows up.
    When I would try to run Windows update, it would hang up PC Settings. I couldn't even kill it using task manager because it didn't show up as a task. During this, I got a flag saying the firewall wasn't turned on. I tried to turn it on, but clicking on Turn on Windows Firewall didn't do anything. I tried to setup my Microsoft account but that just hung too.
    I ended up running Windows Update FOUR TIMES to get all the updates installed. Every time I ran it, it said "Done!" and I would run it again and more would show up. The last time was this morning.
    At some point, the error about SecureBoot went away.
    Then, I created a bootable BIOS update disk. Following the ReadMe instructions, I went through ThinkPad Setup and verified several values. Of note:
    Secure Boot was DISABLED. According to the ReadMe file, this should be ENABLED in Windows 8.1. I enabled it.
    Under Startup/Boot, according to the ReadMe that came with the BIOS update, UEFI/Legacy Boot is supposed to be set at UEFI Only for Windows 8.1. Mine was set to "Both". I changed it.
    In Startup, OS Optimized Defaults was DISABLED, even though it says right there (and in the BIOS update ReadMe) it should be ENABLED to meet Microsoft Windows 8 Certification Requirement.
    After these updates, I flashed the new BIOS.
    Then, I ran hardware scan again...
    Now I have TWO failures on the SSD: Random Seek Test and SMART Short Self-Test. Great.
    In the Event Viewer (that I recently discovered), it says my disk has a bad block. It just says The device, \Device\Harddisk\DR1, has a bad block. I assume this is the SSD...
    There are 867 events in the event viewer - Critical, Error, and Warning...
    Fifty-two of these are from October 7, 2013 - before my little laptop was a glimmer.
    The rest are from when Lenovo had it and yesterday and today.
    64 of them are the disk error.
    341 are from DeviceSetupManager. 65 of those are from failed driver installs. 69 are for not being able to establish a connection to the windows update service. 64 are from not being able to establish a connection to the Windows Metadata and Internet Services (WMIS).
    3 times it's rebooted without cleanly shutting down
    60 of them are from Service Control Manager and say The TDKLIB service failed to start due to the following error: The system cannot find the file specified.
    One of them says {Registry Hive Recovered} Registry hive (file): '\??\C:\Users\Default\NTUSER.DAT' was corrupted and it has been recovered. Some data might have been lost.
    16 are warnings that various processors in Group 0 are being limited by system firmware.
    12 say the certificate for local system with thumbprint <bunch of hex numbers> is about to expire or already expired.
    108 are warnings for failure to load the driver \Driver\WUDFRd for various devices
    16 are application errors
    One is for the computer rebooting from a "bug check"
    15 are for name resolutions timing out after none of the configured DNS servers responded.
    10 are for SecureBoot being disabled.
    14 for services terminating unexpectedly
    15 are for WLAN Extensibility Module has stopped
    61 are for applications not being able to be restarted because the application SID does not match Conductor SID
    12 are for activation of CLSID timing out waiting for the service wuauserv to stop
    So, I'll call them on Monday and open. a. new. case (#5?) - but really 7. And get A NEW BOX.
    I'll keep you updated!
