Potential Versioning Differences Between Storage Server and Grid Infrastructure/DB

Hello.
While awaiting my MOS CSI access to be approved For Exadata HW issues so I can open an SR, I have a question.  We are about to apply QFSDP for BP 22 on one of our full RACK X3 Exadta servers.  Currently, the Grid Infrastructure (GI)/DB SW is at 11.2.0.3.0 and teh storage SW is at 11.2.3.2.  Our last BP was 19.  BEFORE we apply the BP 22, we want to upgrade the clusterware to 12c - but not the DB (that will come later).  This is a high level question which I have discussed with several Oracle techs, but wanted to see what the experience/opinion is while I await access to my CSI.  Can you have your Grid Infrastructure (GI) running at a higher version than that of your your storage server?  The tech I spoke to said that all GI/DB SW should be at a version that is NO GREATER than that of the storage server - meaning a 12c version of the GI would not be compatible with a lowere version of the storage server.  Thank you in advacne for any guidance.
Regards,
Matt

Hi Matt,
Seems you want to do a lot in one go here.
Maybe you should look at Doc ID 888828.1, Doc ID 1537407.1 and Doc ID 1373255.1 for a start.
For 12c (grid and rdbms) on Exadata it is recommended to upgrade your FW to 12.1.1.1.0 first.
My advice would be to patch up 11g to BP22 and when done start planning the 12c upgrade (keeping the 11g dbhome).
Regards,
Tycho

  • What is the  difference between list display and grid display in alv report

    Hai genious
    i am a new of the abap, i dont know the alv report, i have a small doubt, can u please tell me  what is the main difference between list display and grid display in alv report
    thanks&regards
    chinnu

    Hi ,
    1. For all practical purposes, they are the same.
    2. Some differences:
    a) from abap coding point of view,
    alv list is done with Function modules,
    alv gris can also be done with FM,
    but can also be done using OO concepts.
    b) Alv grid (using oo concept) requires
    designing the screen layout .
    Hence, in one screen, we can show more
    then one alv grid
    (we cannot show more than
    one alv list on one screen)
    c) ALV grid uses ActiveX controls
    present on the Presentation Server.
    Hence, it consumes More Memory
    on the presentation server.
    d) ALV LIST is Display Only.
    Whereas
    ALV Grid Can Be made EDITABLE for entry purpose.
    e) In alv grid, these options are possible,
    but not in alv list.
    without horizontal lines
    without vertical lines
    without cell merging during sorts
    display total lines above the entries
    I hope it helps.

  • Difference between Storage Grain and Query Grain

    What is the difference between Storage Grain and Query Grain ?
    In the query below:
    Select quarter, YearAgoSales:

    what is the Storage Grain ?
    As mentioned in Help Guide, Storage Grain is "grain of the aggregate source".
    Regards,

    storage grain: by its name is the grain of your source.
    query grain: by its name is the grain at which you define your query.
    based on the example you mentioned:
    Though you have a source at day grain, you are querying at quarter level (which corresponds to query grain)....

    Hi everyone,
    whats the difference between application server and central instance and message server. where it will be installed. and how?

    Hi,
    just want to clarify that is is not correct that only one enqueue process can be configured on the CI.
    Please see the documentation within transaction RZ11 for the parameter Parameter : rdisp/wp_no_enq
    Short description : number of enqueue work processes
    Parameter description :
    You can use this parameter to define the number of enqueue work processes for the instance.
    Ensure that a value >0 is only set on the central instance that provides the enqueue server (instance rdisp/enqname ). One enqueue work process on the central instance is normally sufficient (rdisp/wp_no_enq = 1); only in very large systems can a higher value be useful.

  • RE: Difference between Storage location and warehouse

    Hi All,
    What is the difference between storage location and warehouse?

    Hi,
    First of all Storage Lcoation is part of Inventory Management.
    Warehouse is part of Logistics Execution.
    Storage location is part of SAPu2019s enterprise structure that holds the stock quantity
    Option: To maintain a single storage bin for every material in every storage location
    To simplify: To utilize a storage location as the u201Cstorage facilityu201D means that the materialu2019s actual bin location is not important, or that the material is located in a single bin throughout the storage.
    Warehouse is part of SAPu2019s enterprise structure that holds the stock bin location
    To simplify: When a warehouse (Warehouse Management) is utilized as a storage facility, a materialu2019s actual bin location is of great importance
    Advantage: Track a materialu2019s changing bin location
    Warehouse Management has greater applications for use in a storage facility
    Disadvantage: More complexity and usually requires more  data entry
    Hope this helps.

  • The difference between VTP server and transparent mode on Catalyst Switch.

    Hello 
    I have a question about the difference between VTP server mode and VTP transparent mode on general catalyst switch.
    Basically VTP server mode can create and modify VLAN configuration but  actually there is not any VLAN configuration through running-config, is it true?  When I checked it on Cat3550, certainly there is not VLAN configuration on VTP server mode. But VTP transparent can create VLAN and configuration but does not synchronize with other switch VLAN status. I appreciate any related information and reason of the VTP server mode specification, thank you very much.
    [VTP Transparent mode]
    3550#sh vtp status
    VTP Version                     : 2

    Hi mhiyoshi,

    The above out put indicates that Vlan is created and then mode changed to transparent. i.e why revision no is 0.

    *omit
    3550#

    *no VLAN like above configuration on VTP transparent mode.
    This indicates that vlan never created in server mode nor learnt from another switch as revision no is 0

  • Difference between web server and servlet container

    I can't able to figure out the techincal difference between web server(such as java web server) and servlet containers(such as jakarta-tomcat).If you please let me know then I will be very thankful to you.

    The web server serves html pages to browsers that request pages. It can also send images, javascript, flash content, and a few other things. When a request comes into the web server for a servlet or jsp, the web server calls on the Servlet container to do THOSE jobs.
    The Servlet container is the execution environment for a jsp or servlet (they are both servlets) to run Java code on the server and do logic.
    So you see, the web server spits out static content, where either no logic is involved, or the client's web browser does the logic. The Servlet container is used for applications that execute code, perform logic, connect to databases, etc.
    So they work together, but are completely separate logically.

  • Major Differences between Project Server and Project Proffessional

    Hi,
    We are planning to use MS Project with SharePoint. In the initial research i came to know that we will need MS Project Professional to syn task lists on SharePoint. We are looking at a solution where all the Project Leaders (Across the world) can update
    their project statuses online using SharePoint (right now this is being done manually).
    I then came to know that we can access MS Project on SharePoint using MS Project Server. I am now not able to decide on which one to choose. So I want to know the major differences between MS Project server
    and MS Project professional. Which one would full fill my requirements. I cannot limit my requirements to only updates. but also would want to add some extra features like Site Mail box and Project Issues log, so that my Project Management is more effective
    and is better.
    Please answer at earliest
    Regards

    Srikar --
    Microsoft Project Server 2013 is an enterprise project management (EPM) application in which all data is stored in a SQL Server database.  This EPM software application allows organizations to manage dozens, hundreds, or thousands of projects and
    to manage dozens, hundreds, or thousands of resources as well.  To use Project Server 2013, your PMs would each need a copy of Microsoft Project Professional 2013 and would use this software to plan their projects and to save and publish the projects
    to Project Server.  Your team members and executives would use their Internet Explorer to access the web-based user interface to Project Server 2013 called Project Web App, or PWA for short.
    In PWA, your team members can use either The Timesheet page or the Tasks page to report progress on their task assignments.  In PWA, your PMs would be able to see the updates from their team members and be able to approve those updates.  Once
    approved, the task updates are applied to the appropriate project so that the PM does NOT have to retype the updates.  For executives, PWA offers the Project Center page which shows the portfolio of published projects in Project Server, where they can
    see the current status of each project.
    Beyond this, Project Server also includes a Business Intelligence Center where your Project Server administrator can create very customized reports for various audiences.  In brief, there is a LOT of power in Project Server 2013.  If you think
    you might want to use it, you have two options:  (1) Buy the software, install it yourself, set it up yourself, and maintain it yourself, or (2) contract with Microsoft to use Project Online, which is a hosted version of Project Server 2013 that is maintained
    by Microsoft in the cloud.
    You can learn even more about Project Server 2013 at the following link:
