OWB patch on RAC

Hi,
I just added the 10.2.0.3 patch to our OWB installation (2-node RAC on Linux).
According to the logfile everything went fine, but only one of the entries in the table OWBRT_SYS.OWBRTPS was updated.
Do I need to run the upgrade script (DTupg102to10203_10gR2.sh) from both nodes
to complete the patch/upgrade?
Or would it be safe to update the table manually?

I could resolve this issue. Oracle is not supporting rolling upgrade for this version. So went with non rolling upgrade. That resolved this issue.

------ 2009/10/1 updated by Peter Hwang Sun 64 OWB 10201 patched to 10204
If you try to patch your OWB with 1020X and If you are running OWB in two-tier environment (OWB control center running seperately from DB server), you may want to check wb_rt_service_nodes table for its record.
select * from wb_rt_service_nodes;
NODE_ID INSTANCE_NUMBER HOST PORT SERVICE_NA ENABLED RUNTIME_VERSION SERVER_SIDE_HOME
1 1 SunDB01 1521 test 1
In our environment, last two fields need to be NULL.
During 10204 OWB patch (app server binary), the process updated record and popylated 'RUNTIME_VERSION" with "Generated" and "SERVER_SIDE_HOME" with "/apps/owb" (OWB application server side Home).
Once remove the aboe two, out OWB control center is running fine.

Question related to DB patching of RAC from 10201 to 10205

Hello,
I have the task of patching a RAC environment from 10201 to 10205 on linux x86_64, as per the README for the patch (#8202632) I have to first apply the patch to
1.Clusterware.
2.Oracle database homes.
I am a bit new to patching RAC databases , just wanted a confirmation that the database (even if the ORACLE_HOME are not shared and are local to each node) patch is not a rolling patch.*.The README says
Shut down all Oracle RAC instances on the nodes, which run from the Oracle home on which you are going to apply the patch set. To shut down all Oracle RAC instances for a database, enter the following command where db_name is the name of the database:
*$ srvctl stop database -d db_name*
The above command will shutdown the databases on all the nodes, thus it is not a rolling upgrade and the database has to be down, so the end users have to informed prior to patching that there is a down time involved.
Any confirmation from folks who have already done this will be much appreciated.
Thanks,
C.

Hi,
For clusterware it can be rolling patching.
- apply the clusterware 10.2.0.5
- follow the instruction at the end of installation
for the database patching it can't be rolling upgrade means database must be down

Steps to apply cpu patch on RAC

Hi All,
I am applying cpu patch to rac environment first time.It is a 2 node rac.Kindly let me know the methods and how to apply cpu patch on 2 node RAC.
Regards
Raj

Hi user8884603,
as Rajesh has mentioned, all info is in the readme file, but lookout specifically:
If you can apply the patch while the DB is open or CRS is started.
If you must apply the patch on all nodes in the cluster or only from 1 node.
As which user specific tasks must be done.
Hope this is helpful.
Regards.

Running OWB on 6 RAC databases on 4 shared nodes

Hi everyone!
I was wondering if anyone can help with a question I have around multiple OWB installations on RAC?
Background:
We are migrating 6 independent data warehouses / data marts onto one Exadata box. This machine has got 4 nodes, across which we will run 6 separate databases using RAC. Each database will span across all 4 nodes, and each of the databases will contain one of the independent data mart / data warehouses.
We understand that we will probably need to run 6 separate control center services on each node, and that there may need to be some fiddling around with log file names to get them all to start properly.
However; the question is where to install the OWB binaries!?
In our understanding, we need one set of OWB binaries per database, i.e. 6 in total. The actual databases will be run from just one set of local Oracle Database binaries on each RAC node, which means only four database binaries in total will be used to run 6 RAC databases across our 4 nodes.
Problem is, this means that there won't be enough OWB binaries to go around!! (6-4 = 2 missing!)
One alternative is to have 6 Oracle homes on each RAC node, i.e. one home per RAC database. I'm not a RAC expert - maybe this is even the preferred way of setting up the databases, regardless if we use OWB or not?
Comments / suggestions would be much appreciated!
Cheers

Hi,
We also have a 6 node rac where we settes up owb.
We went through a whole lot of problems but got it running finally(with service failover).
Basically you will need the binaries on all 4 of your physical nodes.
For the first node you can run through the normal installation (repository setu).
Thab you need to start the repository assistant on all other nodes in ordr to register them.
There are a lot of pitfalls with that installation and a lack od docunentation.
We've written an onstallation guide for an OWB rac setup where with we have now setted up 9 OWB repositories spreaded over 2 racs.
Just let me know if you require detailed information - maybe we can share our guide.

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 ??
@onedba
I am planning to Patch not upgrade.
Thanks and regards.

Applying patch on RAC seetup

Dear all,
Tomorrow i need to apply a bug fix patch on my RAC Set up database.For that please tell me the step by step process , how to apply it.
it is 2 node RAC.
Database version : 10.2.0.4
OS:linux rhel5 i have couple of doubts on it.
1)For patch to apply , we need to down both the nodes and we have to apply that patch ( or ) making one node down and applying the patch on that node is enough to minimise the down time .
2)let me correct my steps are wrong.
Steps to down the database:
1.on both the nodes:
1.database down.
2.asm down
3.node apps down
2.intrim patch which we downloaded we have to keep it in oracle/home/bin/opatch directory on one of two nodes is enough.
3.set PATH environment variable
4.set HOME environment variable
5.Go to opatch folder , and go to patch number folder.
6.opatch apply
after that
7. node apps upp
8. asm upp
9. database upp. will do right.....no need to apply on both the nodes....applying on one node is enough right.
or else if any one of you have detailed documentation , please give the link here or mail to my id
[email protected] Regards,
Vamsi.

I have applied such patches several times. I am confident that I can apply any patch any time.
But sorry to say I can't tell you the steps, I'm afraid that I'll miss something. and the smallest mistake can make your activity miserable. There is no generic method to apply a CPU/PSU patch. Methods differ.
The best guide for you, is the readme attached with the patch.
The generic method to apply the patch (probably):
1. Be cool, calm and confident
2. Without being lazy, go through each and every line of the readme.
3. Put the steps on a notepad (your interpretation of the readme)
4. start the patch application process
I know I have not answered your question, but this is the way which I follow.

S.K.

Patching 10gr2 RAC, Oracle inventory on a CFS

I have 4-node HP-UX VCS5 Oracle10g RAC setup running in production environment. First time i am trying to apply latest patch bundle. I am trying to apply 10.2.0.4 patch set.
I am getting the bellow error when i am applying the patch.
"Central Invventory can't be shared, this is not supported"
The ORACLE_BASE is on a cluster file system.
To ignore this error and to proceed with patch installation, what steps we need to take ?
Thank you.

Hi,
Looks like you have run into an always documented restriction which has now been enforced with the OUI in the 10.2.0.4 patchset.
The documentation which mentioned that Shared Central Inventories are not recommended / supported is available at :
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/em.102/b16227/oui6_cluster_environment.htm#BABGJAAF
<Quote>
The Oracle Inventory directory (oraInventory) stores an inventory of all software installed on the system. It is required by, and shared by, all Oracle software installations on a single system. The first time you install Oracle software on a system, Oracle Universal Installer prompts you to specify the path to this directory. If you are installing the software on a local file system, then Oracle recommends that you choose the following path:
oracle_base/oraInventory
If the Oracle base directory is on a cluster file system, or on an NFS file system on a NAS device, then you must specify a path for the Oracle Inventory directory on a local file system. The Oracle base directory must be on a local file system to enable all of the nodes to have separate inventories.
Oracle Universal Installer creates the directory that you specify, and sets the correct owner, group, and permissions for it. You do not need to create it.
<un-quote>
What has changed with the 10.2.0.4 Installer is that Oracle now enforces this restriction. What I believe is that without this being enforced , there was a possibility of running into Central Inventory corruption issues when Clustered and Non-Clustered installs were being done on the same node.
I also found this discussion on one of the Metalink threads which might be useful.
Please contact Oracle Support prior to attempting these steps though.
Quoting Oracle:
It is not supported to have central inventory on a shared location. There was a bug.5009954 "OUI SHOULD ENFORCE SEPARATE CENTRAL INVENTORY LOCATIONS IN RAC" filled on this issue. This bug is fixed in 11.2. It is actually an OUI issue which doesn't perform a check to make sure that central inventory location is not on shared device.
In order to fix the inventory, you can change the OH/oraInst.loc in the CRS home to point to a non-shared directory.
Run <crs>/oui/bin/attachhome.sh -silent -local -cfs CRS=true -invPtrLoc <crs>/oraInst.loc on each of the nodes. Finally copy the oraInst.loc to the /etc/oraInst.loc.

DST PATCH on RAC

We have 10.2.0.1 installtion on a two node RAC. In order to apply DST patch we are moving to 10.2.0.3. I was following Oracle Database Patch Set notes and applying the patch. I have upgraded Oracle clusterware and then decided to go with rolling upgrade. After stopping all the services on the first node, when I ran
c:\crs_home\install\Patch102.bat I am getting the following error.
Failed to patch all the files in the ORA_CRS_HOME. Please ensure that all processes running from the home have been stopped.
I went and checked the 2nd node and its services. one of the service
OracleCSService status is showing as starting. I am unable to stop/start even after rebooting the 2nd node.
Does any one has a clue in what is going on? I am unable to proceed further on this. Help is really appreciated.

I could resolve this issue. Oracle is not supporting rolling upgrade for this version. So went with non rolling upgrade. That resolved this issue.

Regarding applying psu patch on rac

dear gurus
actually last time i applied a psu patch which i could apply as rolling patch but i shutdown database and all services
and on node 1 of my rac i applied the patch .it didn't ask for any option that where i want to run and applied on both nodes while i execute the command only from one node.so i performed post steps and it was successful.
now again i need to apply one PSU patch so what's the best way to apply either i go as i did last time shutting down database both instances and services and then apply patch on one node
or shutting down both instances,database services and then apply patch on node 1 as
opatch apply local
then after completing on one node do same on node2
opatch apply local
is it right way and right command
database version 10.2.0.4
Os rhel 4.5

The correct way is described in the README of the patch file.

Confusion with windows bundle patches on RAC

Hi there,
My client asked me to "apply the newest patch" on his RAC 10.2.0.5 enviroment on Windows. Please, could you explain me what i should exactly do? I've downloaded 10.2.0.5 Patch 20 (the newest version). My question is: Should i apply it using OPatch to both: ORACLE_HOME and CRS_HOME? or only in ORACLE_HOME? What with 10.2.0.5.2 CRS Patch? Should i apply earlier CPU patches? Could you explain me what should i do?
Thanks

Hi,
Follow the Readme.txt file from the patch folder.
Thanks

Patching on RAC

When applying a patch to the databse and the instructions are to shutdown, do I need to shut down both instances or can I sut down npde1, opatch apply, then start it back up and do the same to node2?

Different Solaris OS kernel patches on RAC

I have a very unstable RAC installation on Solaris. I continue to get ORA-0600 errors. The OS is at version 10 but I just learned today that the patch levels are different.
Node 1: Kernel version: SunOS 5.10 Generic_118833-24
node 2: Kernel version: SunOS 5.10 Generic_127127-11
How big a deal is this and would it be contributing to my instability.
thanks

Hello,
For sure the different level patches may contributing for errors. General cluster rules, leave all things more similar as possible (hardware, OS, patches).
Do you know the metalink's ora-600 lookup tool?
