Patchset 10.2.0.4 Rolling or NoRolling Upgrade

I want to install latest patchset available for Linux 32 bit platform, that is 10.2.0.4
I'm planning to use a rolling upgrade on my two production nodes and I'm testing these steps on a similar installation used for test. I need to upgrade my clusterware first and the the database.
Even if I read the "README for 6810189" file provided by the patchset, the "Oracle Clusterware and Oracle RAC Installation Guide for Linux" and the "Oracle Database Upgrade Guide" I'm not sure how to apply the steps for rolling upgrades.
In the README file... step 7.7 I follow the "7.7.2 Stopping All Processes for an Oracle Clusterware Installation" link and then the "7.7.2.1 Rolling Upgrade" link.
I should complete these steps only on the first node:
emctl stop dbconsole
isqlplusctl stop
srvctl stop service -d DWHDB -s DWHDB_TAF -i DWHDB1
srvctl stop instance -d DWHDB -i DWHDB1 -o immediate
srvctl stop asm -n node1
srvctl stop nodeapps -n node1
Running the runInstaller and select the ORA_CRS_HOME
Run as root /u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/crs_1/bin/crsctl stop crs
Run as root /u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/crs_1/install/root102.sh
Then
emctl stop dbconsole
isqlplusctl stop
srvctl stop service -d DWHDB -s DWHDB_TAF -i DWHDB2
srvctl stop instance -d DWHDB -i DWHDB2 -o immediate
srvctl stop asm -n node2
srvctl stop nodeapps -n node2
Run as root /u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/crs_1/bin/crsctl stop crs
Run as root /u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/crs_1/install/root102.sh
These commands should complete step 7.7.2.1.
Now I need to start the database upgrade and the next step is "7.7.3 Stopping All Processes for an Oracle RAC Installation".
It seems I can't minimize downtime using "database rolling upgrade"; it states I should
shutdown the instance on both nodes.
Does it mean this patchset is available for "clusterware rolling upgrade" and not for "database rolling upgrade" ?
Marco

ChandraP,
according to this document
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14210/hafeatures.htm#CJAFCCFJ
only some patches can guarantee "database rolling upgrade" (using the opatch command-line utility)
So I deduce this patchset is not certified for database rolling upgrades, right ?
Thanks for your reply,
Marco

Lose fhoto camera roll album when upgrade

I lost my fhoto camera roll album when i upgrade my iphone 4 from iOS 4.3.3 to iOS 5.0. Before upgrading i done a backup. How can i get back all my fhoto?

This has happened to a lot of people. Double-click the home button to reveal the recent apps bar. Find the icon for Photos and tap and hold it until it wiggles and tap the red circle to force quit the app. Press the home button once when you are finished. Open the Photo app again and you should be able to access the camera roll.
Hopefully, the next upgrade will fix this.

Cant access "camera roll" album after upgrade to 4.3.3

iPhone 3GS, recent update to v 4.3.3 now when I go in to Photos the "Camera Roll" album is hidden under the "Albums" heading at the top of the screen and I can't tap it to open it. Can see and access 3 other albums. Was fine before this upgrade. Any suggestions?

What are best practices for rolling out cluster upgrade?

Hello,
I am looking for your input on the approaches to implement Production RAC upgrade without having a spare instance of RAC servers. We have a 2-node database RAC 11.1 on Production. We are planning to upgrade to 11.2 but only have a single database that the pre-Production integration can be verified on. Our concern is that the integration may behave differently on RAC vs. the signle database instance. How everybody else approaches this problem?

you want to test RAC upgrade on NON RAC database. If you ask me that is a risk but it depends on may things
Application configuration - If your application is configured for RAC, FAN etc. you cannot test it on non RAC systems
Cluster upgrade - If your standalone database is RAC one node you can probably test your cluster upgrade there. If you have non RAC database then you will not be able to test cluster upgrade or CRS
Database upgrade - There are differences when you upgrade RAC vs non RAC database which you will not be able to test
I think the best way for you is to convert your standalone database to RAC one node database and test it. that will take you close to multi node RAC

Can anyone help me figure out why the domU is just hanging/blocked?It's not hanging (blocked just means it doesn't need the CPU) -- it's just switched into a graphic mode that the console view can't display. You can either VNC into the guest, or change the kernel boot parameters by removing rhgb quiet and replacing them with console=xvc0 -- this should allow you to see the full boot process and answer the first-boot interview questions without using VNC.
You can get the VNC details by running: virsh dumpxml <domain ID> and you can get the domain ID from the xm list output.

IOS 8 - Disentangling Camera Roll and Photostream - help!

In iOS 8, Apple removed the “Camera Roll” and “Photostream” albums and collapsed them into a single stream of photos on the camera that can be accessed under “Collections”. “Collections” also includes all other photos otherwise loaded onto the phone, e.g., via iPhoto. This new arrangement upsets several familiar ways in which I’ve been using my iPhone and its camera, and I am wondering if anyone has any suggestions for how to recapture a few simple functions. (I have submitted Feedback on the elimination of the Camera Roll, and with this post I am looking for practical solutions to a series of new problems.)
Question #1. I maintained my Camera Roll as a reasonably-well curated set of maybe 300 photos & videos, taken on my phone, that I could pull up easily to show to people. I would like to know if there is a way to restore that functionality in iOS 8. “Recently added” does not go back far enough (one of my favorites was the very first photo I took with any iPhone, back in 2007); and “Collections” shows way too much – it includes everything in Photostream, as well as photos from Albums of scans, non-iPhone photos and other sources that I’ve synced to the phone with iPhoto. Thousands of photos. I also don’t care for the way in which Collections interrupts the thumbnails with date and location information.
Question #2. I kept Photostream turned on on my phone, because I liked the idea of automatically uploading photos to the cloud, particularly on trips when I was not in a position to download the photos directly to a computer for backup and safekeeping. However, now that Apple has eliminated the distinction between “photos in my pocket” and “photos in the cloud”, it appears that whenever I want to delete a photo from my phone (e.g. to save space) I must also delete the corresponding Photostream copy. Is there a way, with Photostream on, to delete local photos without also deleting the copy that has been uploaded to the cloud?
Question #3. I have a few old iOS devices that I let my kids use. They like to take photos and screenshots. Most of them are pretty stupid but once in a while they do something great. I’ve left Photostream on on those devices to see what they’re up to, and to capture the occasional gem. This was fine, when “Photostream” was a separate Album that I could look at, or not, as I chose. In iOS 8 however, all of their junk photos appear in “Collections” and are as much a part of my phone’s photo repository as the carefully-curated Camera Roll photos used to be. Is there a way to keep Photostream photos out of my “Collection”?
Question #4. I suppose someone could write an app that does nothing but display photos that were captured by, and reside physically, on the device. Perhaps someone already has, if anyone knows. Of course I’d prefer to use the native app for this function, but I’d take the function over nativity if I had to choose.
Question #5. Does anyone know (“know” – please no speculation, and nothing that an NDA forbids) how the iCloud Photo Library, which dropped back to beta in the final release of iOS 8, works? Does it provide the backup and safekeeping function of Photostream, along with the ability to view that set of photos separately? If so then I could turn off Photostream and at least get rid of that clutter.
Thanks for any and all help. And by way of reminder - https://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html .

Here's one, eh, kludgy fix for Question #1. I don't exactly recommend it - it can be pretty laborious - but in the end it seems to get me back to about where I started with my Camera Roll.
Go into "Collections" and scroll back to about the date at which you expect to find your first native iPhone photo. (I have many imported photos that predate iPhone, so I can't just look at the first ones.) Tap through until you are looking at a single photo. Look at the bottom. If it displays a "Favorites" heart, it's physically on your iPhone (and as best I can tell, was taken by the device). Tag it as a favorite. Swipe to the next photo. Skip if it shows no Favorites heart - that means it's not on your phone - and tag it if it does.
At the end of this process (did I mention it's laborious?), you should have a Favorites album that matches the photos that were on your Camera Roll when you upgraded to iOS 8.

Which patchsets to apply before 11.03 - 11i upgrade?

What is the best way to find out which patchsets I need to apply before beginning the upgrade from 11.03 to 11i? We are running Government Financials and we are only on patchset D for most modules including FND. I am fairly new to apps and am getting very frustrated trying to determine how to get this information. It is my understanding that the patchset levels need to match up and you can't go a lot higher on one module without patching the others... additionally we do have several bugs especially in Purchasing.

Hi.
I hope it's help:

Ensure that you have the most recently updated patch list by consulting http://support.oracle.com (My Oracle Support). Search for the knowledge document 1004881.1 - Live Upgrade Software Patch Requirements (formerly 206844) on My Oracle Support.
The patches listed in knowledge document 1004881.1 - Live Upgrade Software Patch Requirements (formerly 206844) on My Oracle Support are subject to change at any time.

If you are running the Solaris 8 or Solaris 9 OS, you might not be able to run the Live Upgrade installer. These releases do not contain the set of patches needed to run the Java 2 runtime environment. You must have the recommended patch cluster for the Java 2 runtime environment recommended to run the Live Upgrade installer and install the packages. To install the Live Upgrade packages, use the pkgadd command. Or install, for the Java 2 runtime environment, the recommended patch cluster.

What options do I have to patch the recommended patchset on Solaris 10 with a bunch of non-global zones?

With the standard patching process(installcluster), it takes a looong time since each zone needs veridated. Any option that I can apply the patchset to the global zone only, then later upgrade the non-global zones?
If possible, I'd like to use LU.

You can use LU but it will depend of your system config. There are instructions in the README of the patchset to install it on an alternate boot environment (previously created using lucreate).
If you plan to use LU, read the following docs first to avoid common issues:
Solaris Live Upgrade Software Patch Requirements(Doc ID 1004881.1)
List of currently unsupported Live Upgrade (LU) configurations (Doc ID 1396382.1)
You can also use Parallel Patching feature to improve performance :

What you can't do is patch the global zone only and the non-global zones later (unless the zones are detached). It's a requirement that the global and non-global stay synchronize at all time (considering that they are sharing the same kernel).

Exception while upgrading the SOA Suite with PatchSet 2

Currently I have a working version of the 11.1.1.2.0 soa suite installed on my machine. I am trying to upgrade it with the PatchSet 2. I was successfully able to upgrade by Weblogic Server to 10.3.3 and also my Middleware Home with 11.1.1.3.0 version. But when I am trying to upgrade by schema to PatchSet 2 version then I am getting following error:

Does anybody has any idea why this is coming? I have download all the installables last week from the metalink site.

Issue was related to Windows Vista operating system. Even though you are administrator of the machine you need to explicitly run the applications as Administrator.
So here you need to start the psu utility as "Run as administrator".

10.2.0.5 Database is in extended support. Make sure to purchase the licensing.
You need to download the software by logging an SR with Oracle support to get delivered as DVD or through e-delivery.
But I would suggest you to upgrade to 11.2.0.3.

I updated my firefox yesterday and am now regretting that desicion. The new version is painfully slow and scrolling is even worse. Is there any way to roll back to my previous version?? Please help

All pages are very slow to load. Ebay is among the worst. The scolling is choppy at best, and all check boxes and expandable fields just show up blank. Desperately need to roll back the upgrade.

I'm having a similar problem. Something I've noticed is that the page doesn't seem to advance to whatever I've clicked on without me moving the cursor. I have no idea why that would make a difference.

Steps for upgradin 10.2.0.3.0 -4

Hai all,
am upgrading my clusterware and db from 10.2.0.3. - 10.2.0.4
Am going to use the following steps :
Can anyone have a glance on this and let me know if these steps are ok?
non-Rolling upgrade
1) SELECT version FROM v$timezone_file;
If this query reports version 4, no action is required; in this case, continue with steps described in section 7.6.
If this reports a version lower or higher then 4, see OracleMetalink document 553812.1 Actions for the DSTv4 update in the Release 10.2.0.4 patchset.
2) Stop all this service in both the nodes :
OracleDBConsoleSID
OracleServiceSID
OracleJobSchedulerSID
OracleASMServiceASMSID
OracleHOME_NAMETNSListenerLISTENER_nodename
Oracle Object Service
OracleClusterVolumeService
OracleCRService
OracleCSService
OracleEVMService
OracleRemExecService
3) Installing the Oracle Database 10g Patch Set Interactively
RUN OUI (select both the nodes)
After completing successfully, run crs_home\bin\opmd -install on both the nodes to install OPMN ..
4) Run patch102.bat to upgrade the current node, and to automatically start the Oracle Clusterware services:
C:\> CRS_home\install\patch102.bat
5) To upgrade the rest of the nodes, go to the next node and enter the following command:
C:\> CRS_home\install\patch102.bat
UPgrade the database using DBUA or manually ..
Kai

Note, You don't have to shutdown all nodes for the clusterware part. This part can be in a rolling fashion.
have a look at this:

Failure to recognize iPhoto library and failure to import same images

Okay so this one is strange. For some time now every time I open iPhoto is has had to rebuild itself. I took this as a bug and let it do it each time.
Now with Photos being on my machine I saw this as an opportunity to see if it fixed the issue with the new app. I opened Photos and asked it to select the MASSIVE iPhoto library I use. It said it can not open that one and failed after several times trying it.
I then took the step of exporting over 10k images and videos into a folder on one of my drives and then reviewing everything within the files to ensure no bad data or 0k files or anything. All looks good. I can however over and open each random file I tested and it looks okay. So the integrity of the images and videos seem okay to me.
I then also reset the permissions on ALL the files to 777 and the folder to ensure that the system could do anything it wants with them.
From here I tried to import them into Photos and instead of the 10,219 I am supposed to see it only imported a little over 3k and then said that the rest were not readable due to bad (or missing) meta data. I downloaded a meta data editor and tried to batch edit something like the date updated or date created to see if re-setting it with batch may update the meta data to a more modern format and allow for importing. That also did not work.
So here I am with no way to get all my content into Photos and not help I can find anywhere online to work around this.
I am almost tempted to run and PS script to open, process and save each file to get it to reset the information for each image. This seems like an extreme step but I am at a loss as to what to do other than have the system see them as totally new files.
This is also NOT ideal as I will loose any meta data I did have like date creation and I will have 10k files that all think they were made today. Manually sorting everything again into albums is also not very exciting to me but without being able to direct open or import the iPhoto library I am not clear what else I can do.
Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks for posting this because it explains a lot to me as a troubleshooter trying to help other people. No one should be using the guest network feature for their own devices. By default, most routers prevent devices on the guest network from accessing devices on the main network for security reasons. Some routers let you disable that security feature but it's a bad idea if you are letting other people use your guest network.
Furthermore, everyone should have WiFi Protected Setup (WPS) disabled in their router if their router supports the "external registrar" authentication method. That's the method where you enter an 8-digit code which is printed on the bottom (or side) of the router into a device you want to add to your network. You can read more about this here:
http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/723755
To the best of my knowledge, Apple routers are not vulnerable to this exploit because they do not support "external registrar".
The major brand with the worst exposure to this problem is Linksys because WPS currently cannot be disabled in their consumer routers (at the time I'm writing this). The situation should begin to improve in March 2012 as Linksys starts to roll out firmware upgrades for certain models. Here's a link to the Linksys firmware release schedule:
