Help with Patch 20485724 - Oracle Grid Infrastructure Patch Set Update 12.1.0.2.3 (Apr2015)

Two issues.
First, the readme for 20485724 states need OPatch 12.1.0.1.6 or greater.  After installing OPatch 12.1.0.1.7, there is no opatchauto in the OPatch directory that was unzipped.  Cannot apply patch without opatchauto.
Second, attempted to apply patch with OPatch version 12.1.0.1.3 and receive the following error: Patch Collection failed: /opt/oracle/patches/20485724/20299023/etc/config/actions.xml (No such file or directory).  The file exists but is one directory lower at /opt/oracle/patches/20485724/20299023/20299023/etc/config/actions.xml
Please advise.
Thanks,
- Matt

Same. 12.1.0.1.7 for Linux x86-64.
I downloaded 12.1.0.7 again and the contents are different...weird

  • I cannot find Oracle Grid Infrastructure Patch Set 2 for windows x64

    So maybe i'm stupid, but i've searched metalink every way i can think of to find the patches mentioned in the following preinstall instructions for 11.2.0.2 for windows
    "To upgrade Oracle Grid Infrastructure release 11.2.0.1 to Oracle Grid Infrastructure release 11.2.0.2, you must first do at least one of the following:
    * Patch the Oracle Grid Infrastructure release 11.2.0.1 home with the patch 9413827 and patch 9706490.
    * Install Oracle Grid Infrastructure Patch Set 1 (GI PSU1) or Oracle Grid Infrastructure Patch Set 2 (GI PSU2)."
    I've searched in Patches and Updates and https://updates.oracle.com.
    I've got a 2 node 11gR2 (11.2.0.1) RAC on Windows 2k8 that i want to patch to 11.2.0.2 before implementing as production. I can find all the Unix flavored patches, but not the Windows Patch.
    Feel free to make fun of me for using Windoze or not knowing how to use metalink, whatever you like, as long as you include a url to the Patch I'm looking for.
    thanks
    John

    The first thing that i tried was the out-of-place upgrade, which failed 3/4 of the way through. This left me with a circumstance where i couldn't use srvctl to administer my RAC because of version mismatched files. The RAC appeared to be up but administering it was impossible no matter what home i set. I deinstalled 11.2.0.2 grid and the 2nd node of my RAC was broken and couldn't see the ASM instance at all. i actually had to modify the windows registry to get the 2nd node to behave properly.
    That's when i read more carefully the installation instructions for the upgrade and came across the text i included.
    "To upgrade Oracle Grid Infrastructure release 11.2.0.1 to Oracle Grid Infrastructure release 11.2.0.2, you must first do at least one of the following:
    Patch the Oracle Grid Infrastructure release 11.2.0.1 home with the patch 9413827 and patch 9706490.
    Install Oracle Grid Infrastructure Patch Set 1 (GI PSU1) or Oracle Grid Infrastructure Patch Set 2 (GI PSU2).
    Adding nodes to a cluster during a rolling upgrade is not supported.#
    Oracle Clusterware and Oracle ASM upgrades are always out-of-place upgrades. With Oracle Grid Infrastructure 11g release 2 (11.2), you cannot perform an in-place upgrade of Oracle Clusterware and Oracle ASM to existing homes."
    This mentions both the out-of-place upgrade and the need for the intermediate patches to be installed first. I'm not sure what to believe at this point. I read the above instructions as saying the intermediate patches need to be installed BEFORE the out-of-place upgrade would be successful, but i can't say that i understand why that would be the case.
    Has someone done a successful upgrade on Windows from 11.2.0.1 directly to 11.2.0.2?
    I appreciate y'all's help.
    thanks,

  • Oracle Grid Infrastructure 11g Release 2 (11.2.0.3.0)

    Hi,
    I want to download Oracle Grid Infrastructure 11g Release 2 (11.2.0.3.0) for installation on Oracle Solaris 11 as Oracle Grid Infrastructure 11g Release 2 (11.2.0.1.0) cannot be installed on Solaris 11,
    I know its available but cannot find the link to download it, is it not available for download from OTN network ?
    If you happen to know the link please let me know or is there a way I can install 11.2.0.1.0 on Solaris 11.
    Thank you for you help.
    Rgds
    Terry

    11/10/11: Patch Set 11.2.0.3 for Linux, Solaris, Windows, AIX and HP-UX Itanium is now available on support.oracle.com.
    You have to ask support to send you the cloud link where you can download the binaries OR you can ask them to send you the media also.
    It says right on the above link

  • RAC - Oracle Grid Infrastructure configure failed

    Hi, am trying to install 2 node RAC on Oracle VMs. Before the installation during the -preinst check there were few issues which were resolved (ex user equivalence). After that during the installation process of the Grid it failed at step "Configure Oracle Grid Infrastructure for a cluster". After it failed at this step, subsequent steps too failed which I asked OUI to ignore and then I ran both the post installation scripts. And then ran post crsinst which failed. Pasting below the output of the root.sh script, post crsinst and other checks.

    Please help.

    before installation have u configure the private interconnect on both the nodes to same network adapter..
    for example on node 1 if the private interconnect is on eth0 then on the node 2 it should use eth0 only...
    for private interconnect use the hostonly option on both the nodes in the network configuration page of the vmware or virtual box..
    and for public network it can be bridged
    more over if you are installing on the laptop its good to configure the SSH using the OUI.. rather than doing it manually.. as it saves time
    the private and the public networks should not have same range of ip address. like if public address are like 192.168.2.222/255.255.255.0 and private address have to be different like 10.10.1.2/255.0.0.0 (this is just an example)
    have to configured the NTP.
    any ways try installing the oracle rac on virtual box follow the steps given the below website they are pretty straight forward...

  • Oracle Grid Infrastructure / RAC Provisioning

    Using the OEM GC Provisioning and Automated Patching Pack, you are able to provision a complete Oracle RAC Cluster, including the Grid Infrastructure and creation of an ASM Instance and a RAC Database.
    In this paper I show an example of how I was able to do the provisioning of Grd Infrastructure and Oracle RAC on a 2 node OracleVM Cluster.
    http://oemgc.wordpress.com/2010/07/14/oracle-grid-infrastructure-rac-provisioning/

    Good one mate, I have recently installed OEM 11g on 2 nodes, and I am expected to set this (provisioning) up on OEM 11g soon, documents like this come in definitely handy, have seen your site too, looks very good and informative, thanks and keep writing.

  • Oracle Grid Infrastructure

    Hi,
    I'm trying to convince our systems administrator about the need for us to use Oracle Grid Infrastructure with our 11gR2 database installation. I find that I'm not really sure what the main advantages are, could you help please?
    - What is the main advantage of Oracle Grid Infrastructure, what is it that will make me use it as opposed to conventional method of storage?
    Any documentation recommendation would help please. I have been on the 11gR2 course and I have Oracle documentation but I am unable to see (or maybe it is lack of understanding) what is the main thing that will make us use it over an installation that uses file system storage.
    thanks

    I actually meant to copy and paste the benefits of using ASM out of it which answers the question OP had of using GRID for storage, (I had actually typed "see this bit") and was using the link as the reference, nont sure why I didnt, I mustnt have pasted properly into the post before posting. GRID as we know offers the asm usage which is the storage part of it. I have that link in my notes for reference when looking for the arguments to use ASM. From that link
    •Provides automatic load balancing over all the available disks, thus reducing hot spots in the file system
    •Prevents fragmentation of disks, so you don't need to manually relocate data to tune I/O performance
    •Adding disks is straight forward - ASM automatically performs online disk reorganization when you add or remove storage
    •Uses redundancy features available in intelligent storage arrays
    •The storage system can store all types of database files
    •Using disk group makes configuration easier, as files are placed into disk groups
    •ASM provides stripping and mirroring (fine and coarse gain - see below)
    •ASM and non-ASM oracle files can coexist
    •ASM is free!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • How do I define 2 disk groups for ocr and voting disks at the oracle grid infrastructure installation window

    Hello,
    It may sound too easy to someone but I need to ask it anyway.
    I am in the middle of building Oracle RAC 11.2.0.3 on Linux. I have 2 storage and I created three LUNs in each of storage so 6 LUNs in total look in both of servers. If I choose NORMAL as a redundancy level, is it right to choose my 6 disks those are created for OCR_VOTE at the grid installation? Or should I choose only 3 of them and configure mirroring at latter stage?
    The reason why I am asking this is that I didn't find any place to create asm disk group for ocr and voting disks at the oracle grid infrastructure installation window. In fact, I would to like to create two disk groups in which one of groups contains three disks those were brought from storage 1 and the second one contains rest three 3 disk that come from the last storage.
    I believe that you will understand the manner and help me on choosing proper way.
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    You have 2 Storage H/W.
    You will need to configure a Quorum ASMDisk to store a Voting Disk.
    Because if you lose 1/2 or more of all of your voting disks, then nodes get evicted from the cluster, or nodes kick themselves out of the cluster.
    You must have the odd number of voting disk (i.e 1,3 or 5)  one voting disk per ASM DISK, So 1 Storage will hold more voting disk than another storage.
    (e.g 3 Voting Disk - 2 voting stored in stg-A and 1 voting disk store in stg-B)
    If fail the storage that hold the major number of  Voting disk the whole cluster (all nodes) goes down. Does not matter if you have a other storage online.
    It will happen:

  • Oracle Grid Infrastructure Query !!

    Hi
    I have a requirement to install Oracle Grid Infrastructure software on SUN SPARC v11. I would like to know, Whether the Oracle Database 11g Release 2 Grid Infrastructure (11.2.0.1.0) for Solaris Operating System (x86-64)  ) is compatible with Oracle 11.2.0.4 Database version ?
    From where can I download the link for the same ?
    Regards,

    I would like to know, Whether the Oracle Database 11g Release 2 Grid Infrastructure (11.2.0.1.0) for Solaris Operating System (x86-64)  ) is compatible with Oracle 11.2.0.4 Database version ?
    No, it is not compatible. You cannot have database version that is higher than the GI version. If you want to run an Oracle 11.2.0.4 database, then GI needs to be *at least* 11.2.0.4 as well. It can be 12.1 if needed/desired.
    From where can I download the link for the same ?
    From My Oracle Support, you can download the 11.2.0.4 version of both the database and GI software. This link shows you how to obtain the patchset.
    Obtain Database Patchsets » Peasland Database Blog
    Files 1of7 and 2of7 are the 11.2.0.4 version of the database. File 3of7 is the 11.2.0.4 version of GI.

  • Oracle grid infrastructure for a standalone server download

    Hi there,
    I am trying to install Oracle 11g but it says if I want to use ASM and oracle Restart then I must intsall Oracle grid infrastructure for a standalone server.
    I am doing this installation on my home pc running Windows 7 to make sure it work, however, I downloaded Database 11g Enterprise/Standard Editions but i cannot find any download for Oracle grid infrastructure for a standalone server.
    Can anyone please help as i am confused here??
    I even went to the /stage directory of my 11g download and there is no folder called cluster or grid or anything.
    Thanks in advance!!

    When you go to OTN to download the software, click on the "See All" link next to the platform you are downloading and you'll see the links for GRID.
    However, you do not need to install GRID if you don't plan on using ASM and Restart.

  • Oracle documentation for Installation for Oracle Grid Infrastructure

    Hi
    I want to install 11g Release 2 "Oracle Grid Infrastrucure" on Aix system without Cluster/RAC option. The requirement is to configure ASM on an Standalone system without any Cluster and RAC. Is there any documentation available for this installation.
    I have already checked the below link which provide information on Installation for Oracle Grid Infrastructure for a Cluster.
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/install.112/e10814/toc.htm
    Please let know if there is any documentation for Installation for Oracle Grid Infrastructure for a standalone system.

    Hi there. Well, the installation of Grid Infrastructure would ask you that what kind of installation you want to do, single instance or cluster? If you would choose single instance installation, it would not be much different from doing any other oracle installation. The key factor to do it and why its mandatory is because from 11.2 onwards, ASM can't be managed from DBCA but from its own tool only, ASMCA and that runs from Grid Home. So I don't think that not finding the docs should be a show stopper for you. I haven't done it on AIX so I am not sure that I can be of some help about it. I have done it on OEL 5 and it didn't throw any issues for me.
