Is it possible to delay a rolling upgrade after a single domain is updated?

Hello,
I am working on new Azure services for my group. For various reasons, we have decided that a Staging / VIP-Swap deployment is not useful for our group and will be going with a rolling upgrade. What I am interested in, is knowing if there is a way to
"pause" a rolling upgrade after the first update domain until it is released to complete. Or, for a set time ( 30 minutes, etc ), to allow us the opportunity to essentially have a A-B deployment of our webrole, to observe behavior while receiving
production traffic before the release has completely deployed.
Thanks for your help
Jeff

hello Jeff,
Currently, base on my experience, delay a rolling upgrade or "pause" a rolling upgrade after the first update domain until it is released to complete, it may be difficult. I suggest you could can submit a feature suggestion on
http://www.mygreatwindowsazureidea.com/forums/34192-windows-azure-feature-voting. I suggest you could get more detail about upgrade domain and fault domain (http://blog.toddysm.com/2010/04/upgrade-domains-and-fault-domains-in-windows-azure.html).

Rolling upgrade of WLC 4402 controllers and APs

In need to upgrade the software on two WLC 4402 controller in a hospital. Both WLCs have the same config and one is primary (has all APs connected) and the other backup (no APs connected.) The APs are placed so there is still coverage if one goes down in an area. My question - is it possible to do a rolling upgrade to have no downtime for the wireless clients? My plan would be to upgrade the backup WLC then selectively move APs to it. If I swap the primary and secondary controllers in the high availability tab on each AP, do I need to do a reset (General - Hardware Reset) or will it automatically reboot and connect to the upgraded backup controller? When I'm done, I'd upgrade the primary controller and now call that backup. Does this make sense?

I've done this same sort of thing on a slightly larger scale about 5 times now at the hospital I work at. Quick answer is "Yes, it is possible to do a rolling upgrade and have no downtime for wireless clients."
I've got 5 WLC's, and I use the high availability tab to move all the AP's off one, upgrade it, and move all the AP's from the next WLC over to it, upgrade that one, etc.
The thing you need to be careful of is your timing and your choice of APs to move.
It generally takes about a minute to move an AP between WLCs running the same version. But if there's a version change that makes the AP upgrade, you're looking at about 6 minutes.
I do them one at a time, and when they show up in the WLC as being up, running and happy for 1 minute, I do the next one. And so on. Takes me about 3 days to go through all 5 WLCs and 375 APs. Not once have I had a user notice the move.
Also, in order to test, after I do the first upgrade, I move just one area's APs into that WLC for a day and then test the various flavors of gear we have (phones, infusion pumps, laptops, etc.) to confirm that the new version doesn't have any trouble. Sometimes it does and I work with TAC to get things resolved before I do the whole hospital.

Scshutdown fails - "Rolling Upgrade in progress"

Anybody seen this before?
bash$ sudo scshutdown -g 0 -y
scshutdown: Cannot shutdown the cluster. Rolling Upgrade in progress.
bash$
No one has (with intention) started an upgrade on this cluster.. Its SC3.1 U2 on Solaris 8.

While you are saying that no one hast started an upgrade, is it possible that this cluster got recently patched with current Sun Cluster patches?
If so, you might want to check if the follwoing binary exists on your cluster:
/usr/cluster/bin/scversions
If it exists, just call it.
If you see something like:
# scversions
Upgrade commit is NOT needed. All versions match.
then I don't know what your problem is. However, if it says something different, you might want to try:
# scversions -c
and see if the problem went away.

Oracle physru rolling upgrade problem

Hi, I'm having a problem with the Oracle Physru script provided from MOS note # 949322 I was hoping I could get some help with.
My system contains of two Oracle 11.1.0.7.0, one primary and one physical standby.
The hosts are two Oracle Solaris 10 Sparc x64 machines.
My goal is to update from 11.1.0.7.0 to 11.1.0.7.8 using the script that is provided, however I'm bumping into problems at the step where the script is checking the Apply lag on the logical standby (function "get_apply_lag"). The lag seems to increase, and to be that indicates a problem with the redo apply process. However, when I query the DBA_LOGSTDBY_EVENTS View i get the following:

Rolling Upgrade of Oracle 10gR2 RAC with Physical Standby (DG)

Hi DBAs,
I want to do a rolling upgrade of Oracle 10.2.0.3 (2 node RAC+ASM) with Physical Standy Dataguard to Oracle 10.2.0.4 also applying CPU (April2009).
Please suggest the best way to perform this upgrade and patching with no downtime.
Thanks
-Samar-

Unfortunately rolling upgrade is only possible with a logical standby in place:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14239/upgrades.htm#CHDBJAGG
That doesn't help you at this time, but 11g has a way to do it with a physical standby. Even here you need an intermediate logical standby:

SQL Apply Rolling Upgrade

Hi,
I would like to upgrade our Oracle database from release 9i to oracle 10g.
Anybody have used "SQL Apply Rolling Upgrade" with a SAP application to upgrade the database ?
Thank's in advanced
Francesc

Hi Cristian,
well you can do / try that, but it is not supported in a SAP environment.
SQL Apply means Logical Standby database and this is explicitly not supported in a SAP environment - for more details please check SAPnote #105047 (sub point 14 - Oracle Data Guard).
However from a technical point of view it is possible as none of these restrictions usually apply a SAP environment ( Data Type and DDL Support on a Logical Standby Database ).
Regards
Stefan

Rolling upgrade with Data Guard

I'm interesting if this table of possible upgrade from documentation (http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28300/preup.htm#i1007814) is true, if I have a plan to do rolling upgrade with Data Guard?

I thinking no, that table does not appear to have Rolling Upgrade Information.
If I read the document correctly you can only this with a logical standby database in Data Guard.
Larry Carpenter's book has some information on this in Chapter 11.
There is also a separate Data Guard section here where you might find more information.

Is it possible to install an iOS upgrade from a computer other than your sync computer?

Hello,
Is it possible to install an iOS upgrade from a computer other than your sync computer? I usually sync to my tower at home, but only have access to my laptop now. My laptop is authorized to the same iTunes account as the tower. If I do a software update for the iPhone on the laptop's copy of iTunes, will it wipe away my music that isn't from the iTunes store, etc?
Thanks,
Will

Yes, but all your data will be replaced by whatever is on this other computer. So if you don't want that to happen wait and install on the computer with which the device is normally synced.

HT1379 My macbook pro 2013 is running to slow even when I am using the keyboard, it running with a delay. I upgraded the memories to 8gb but still slow what can i do to fix it.

Good morning I am confronting serious problems with my Macbook pro 2013, that is runing to slow, even when I am writing this email is running with some kind of delay. I upgraded the memories to 8gb but still running slow . Please let me know what I can do to solve the problem. Thanks in advance. Fernando

1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to gather information about the state of your computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it on this page. However, you should be cautious about running any kind of program (not just a shell script) at the request of a stranger on a public message board. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them.
Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed: Copy a line of text from this web page into the window of another application. Wait for the script to run. It usually takes a couple of minutes. Then paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. Details follow.
4. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
5. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply.
6. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in your browser, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
7. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign ($) or a percent sign (%). If you get the percent sign, enter
exec bash
in the window and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know your password, or if you prefer not to enter it, just press return three times at the password prompt.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line "[Process completed]" to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report your results. No harm will be done.
8. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted."

I am experiencing delayed typing with texting after upgrading to IOS 7 - anyone seeing this?

Both my wife and I are experiencing delayed "typing" with texting after the upgrade to IOS7. Concisely, you can keep typing, but there is a noticable delay before the text appears in the message section. I have also noticed delays with entering my 4 digit Passcode.

Mine was so bad that it was nearly impossible to type in my passcode. I finally restored the phone (reinstalled the software) and then restored from backup. All is working fine now. This is on my iPhone4. The real trick was getting past the passcode and then turning off Find my iPhone (which is required to restore) when it was nearly impossible to type my password in.
It solved my problem. After I did it I read somewhere here to try resetting all settings. That would be quicker but you may lose some settings you had. In any case restoring completely solved my problem.
My iPad did not experience any of these problems.

Rolling upgrade in MAA database with 2 node RAC on each site

All,
I have 2 node rac on SITE A, and it has Physical Standby database on SITE B it also 2 node RAC. Currently it is on 10.2.0.4 on AIX systems. We have mission crictical application runing and we can't aford the downtime of 5 to 6 hr to upgrade our CRS,ASM,DB oracle homes to 11G or even 10.2.0.5. I read rolling upgrade document on metalink and also documnet as well, and come up with following sequence.
SITE A==Primary Site, SITE B == Standby database
1) Shutdown DB on SITE B
2) Take the OS Level Backup of Binaries only on SITE B (Both node), I think this is just a Precautionary Measure
3) Start the DB on SITE B Still Physical Standby database let it synch with primary Site SITE A
4) Convert SITE B to Logical standby database
5) let it run for some time and be the two site SYNCH
6) now stop archivelog shipping to STANDBY SITE SITE B
7) Shutdown SITE B and apply the patch/upgrade binaries (CRS/ASM/DB)
8) Start and upgrade the DB on SITE B
9) Start the logical standby apply (SQL APPLY) and let it catch up with SITE A
10) Now Switchover to logical standby database on SITE B and ask application to connect to SITE B
11) Make sure the archivelogs are moving from SITE B to SITE A and SQL Apply is runing.
12) Now Stop archive log flow from SITE B to SITE A
13) Stop the database/ASM/CRS on SITE A
14) upgrade the SITE A binaries (CRS/ASM/DB)
15) Start and upgrade the DB on SITE A
16) Start the logical standby apply (SQL APPLY) and let it catch up with SITE B
17) Now Switchover Back to SITE A and let the application connect to SITE A
At this point by SITE B is a Logical Standby database
I think these summaries the steps involved in rolling upgrade, but I can't understand how I can go back to my MAA with physical standby database mode?
Does anyone has done this? Can anyone give me some tips or comments on my steps??
Help me if you can... thanks in advance.

Hi,
Is it you want to know the OS/Kernel side setting? You must comply with the following kernel requirements to install the clusterware.

Database rolling upgrade cpu patch with minimal service outage

Oracle 11gR2 Primary Instance
Oracle 11gR2 Active Physical Standby
Requirement of applying CPU and CVE patches with minimal downtime. I believe that I've been able to apply CPU patch to Active Standby after deferring redo transport and applying patch to active physical standby first and then performing a manual switchover to have the standby become the primary and former-primary become the standby and they apply CPU Patch there and then perform another role transition to its original role.
Appreciate your experience with primary and active physical standby rolling upgrades/patches. Thanks

Hello;
I believe you are over thinking this. All you have to do on the Standby is install the patch. No switchover, no SQL. No nothing.
The SQL will move from the Primary to the Standby.
Check the readme for the patch closely or post the patch number if you want to confirm.
OR
How do you apply a Patchset,PSU or CPU in a Data Guard Physical Standby configuration [ID 278641.1]
( If it helps I had the same thoughts after my first Data Guard setup !! )
If you are trying to avoid downtime entirely the switchover will take about as long as the patch.
If you have RAC this is interesting :

Rolling upgrade from 11.1.0.6 to 11.1.0.7

Hello -
I am testing the "rolling upgrade" from 11.1.0.6. to 11.1.0.7. I have a two node cluster on Linux. Is there a way to upgrade either the ASM software or the dbms software without causing downtime to the entire cluster? I can upgrade the clusterware in a true rolling fashion. However, when I attempt to upgrade the ASM location, it ends up taking down the other node. Same for the rdbms software - The other instance ends up going down when I start the patching on one instance - from the remove operations being performed. Has anyone successfully patched an entire stack (without downtime)?
Thanks in advance for any insights!

Yes, I am following those instructions. The ASM instructions caused the other node to be inaccessible. But, when I did the rdbms upgrade, then node B was also inaccessible during that time. I will go through more iterations of this testing, but so far, I have not been able to develop a proof of concept for a true rolling upgrade from 11.1.0.6 to 11.1.0.7. If anyone has been able to do this, please let me know the procedures that were followed.
Thanks,
Mike

Is it possible to delay certain login items?

I would like to try and speed up the launching of OS X. It seems to take quite a bit of time to get started. When I first got my Mac, the startup times were much quicker. However, now since I've added a whole bunch of startup applications, it takes much longer. I generally use all of my startup applications, but I do not need most of them when I first login. Would it be possible to delay the launching of certain applications to speed up my startup time? Are there any programs that do this? I imagine it would be possible to write a script to do this.
Any help would appreciated.

Delete the apps from Login items and simply click on their Dock icons to launch. That will speed up the boot process. Yes, you could probably write a script, but manually launching is the simple way.

RAC rolling upgrade

Hi all
I'm performing rolling upgrade of cpu patch at rac environment
I open a connection to the database (using service) and it connects to the first node. Then I shutdown the first node to perform an upgrade and check the connection, but it doesn't switch to the second node automatically, but returns TNS error. What about if it's a production database and there're a lot of online scripts running on that node?
However, I tried it again and it automatically switched wihout any error. What can be reason?
thanks
John

Agreed... use the -local option and do each node individually.
11gR2? If you have TNS issues, it is indicative of an improperly configured local/remote_listener or SCAN on one or more nodes. Sometimes when additional nodes are added, these parameters may not necessarily be correct.

Is it possible to delay a rolling upgrade after a single domain is updated?
