Ref:upgrading RAC 10.1.0.5.0 To 10.2.0.4.0

What is the best option to upgrade the 3 node rac.
- All nodes at a time
- node by node
we are changing the OS also Redhad 3(update....) to Redhat4(update4) and the file system from ocfs to ocfs2. Kindly suggest which is the best option.

All nodes at a time better...
You have to migrate from ocfs to ocfs2...
this is idea to migrate ocfs to ocfs2 http://oss.oracle.com/projects/ocfs2/dist/documentation/migrate_from_ocfs.pdf
You have new servers for New OS...New Database ?
Can you have more downtime?
If you have more time to migrate and not huge data....
Exprort/Import ... perhaps it's ok
If you have more data and less downtime + new servers...
Physical StandBy... Perhaps ... good solution...
If No new servers... But have more times to migrate ...
Convert ... ocfs to ocfs2
Good Luck.

is there any document could help me on that?
platform is windows server 2003

Dear Sayed,
you are right, but the instructions is not in details, i mean it is not specific for rac. What i am looking for some document only for upgrading RAC environments.

Questions in upgrade RAC from 11.2.0.1 to 11.2.0.2

I am new in installing RAC and need help in upgrade RAC from 11.2.0.1 to 11.2.0.2.
We have a 3 node RAC of 11.2.0.1 on refhat 5.2, and are planing to upgrade to 11.2.0.2. We are doing out-of-place upgrade. For our single instance DEV environment, it works pretty well that we install 11.2.0.2 and copy data from the old database, and then shutdown the old one.
On the production RAC, I hope to install 11.2.0.2 on one node, and let it join the RAC with the other two nodes. Then do th same to the 2nd and 3rd node. I have the following questions.
1) For Out-of Place upgrade, should I just follow normal installation to install grid infrastructure and then the RAC?
2) In selecting Installation type should I choose Create and COnfigure database, or Upgrade an Existing Database?
3) What should I do with the ASM? I want to use the existing ASM.
4) Can I out-of place upgrade one node, and make it join the RAC, and then roll to another node, or I have to install 11.2.0.2 on all 3 nodes and configure a new RAC to replace the old RAC.
5) What should I do with ocr and voting disks?
Thanks

We have a 3 node RAC of 11.2.0.1 on refhat 5.2, and are planing to upgrade to 11.2.0.2. We are doing out-of-place upgrade. For our single instance DEV environment, it works pretty well that we install 11.2.0.2 and copy data from the old database, and then shutdown the old one. out of place does it mean you are restoring database on another server then upgrading? why like that any reason..
1) For Out-of Place upgrade, should I just follow normal installation to install grid infrastructure and then the RAC?Yes, You need to build RAC environment
2) In selecting Installation type should I choose Create and COnfigure database, or Upgrade an Existing Database?Upgrade existing database.
3) What should I do with the ASM? I want to use the existing ASM.you need to create an ASM instance on new server..
4) Can I out-of place upgrade one node, and make it join the RAC, and then roll to another node, or I have to install 11.2.0.2 on all 3 nodes and configure a new RAC to replace the old RAC.

5) What should I do with ocr and voting disks?at the time of cluster installtion you need to configure , later you need to register database before upgrade.
Thanks

Want to upgrade RAC 10.2.0.2 database (2 instances) to 10.2.0.5. DB size is 4 TB. Contains mostly .pdf files, reports. I do not have test/upgrade environment. How much time I can expect it will take?

Want to upgrade RAC 10.2.0.2 database (2 instances) to 10.2.0.5. DB size is 4 TB. Contains mostly .pdf files, reports. I do not have test/upgrade environment. How much time I can expect it will take?
How much the upgrade process depends of database size, in this case?
I have fast boxes IBM AIX 5.3 , 64 b.

Appreciate your comments ...
Yes, sound stupid, regarding test environment, but in reality, is not that much:
-I do have "preprod" environment, (2 instances RAC) same releases of OS, OCW,RAC ... but DB size is 40 GB!!! It has all the objects as production, but (again but) it does not have physical standby, as production has. This is not that unusual, knowing that production DB grows very fast, and very large, and business do not want to keep preprod, dev, test databases same HUGE size as production is. Savings ...
-My DB upgrade depends if application running on top of it is certified for higher RDBMS release ... looks like they have some problems.
-Very encouraging sounds comment that DB upgrade does not depend that much of the DB size ...
- i do not recall from where this info came, but I have heard that R 11.* treats PDF files in different way that R10 did it ... and because of that, process of upgrading big databases which have many items of that type (pdf) can take very long. Any idea about this?
-Brian, thx ... I'm trying hard to provide DB simmilar size in UPG environment and face all possible pitfalls before I go in production...thx for youe advice. I'm relly interested in how upgrade to 11.* from 10.* traets my pdf-s ... All my TBs comming from pdfs. Everi advice will be wellcome ...

Error Upgrading RAC 10.2.0.3 on Windows 32bit

Hey all,
I was in the processes of upgrading a 3 node RAC running on Windows 2003 Server and had a bit of an issue:
First, the Clusterware upgrade worked fine (no thanks to the patch instructions but anyway)
Second, I verified the entire RAC still worked with the new Clusterware by rebooting everything. All looked well.
Third, I started the instrcutions to actually patch the RAC instances and database.
- stopped the services as per the README
- stopped ASM, nodeapps, etc...
(basically everyhting was down on each node)
- launched the OUI on one of the RAC nodes
- chose the Oracle Home
- The OUI autoselected all of my RAC nodes for patching (which is OK - thats what I wanted)
- It started to deploy the files abd at 80% or so, it said "certain files are in use by a service..."
At this point, I verified that NO Oracle services were running (unless you count the OUI Java process).
Attempted to hit "Retry" (I know...I know...) and that didn't work.
Other patches have worked pretty well, this is a first for me.
So....any thoughts? Is it possibly something in Windows that I need to shut down?
Any help would be great.
Thanks

Why dont you run Process Explorer and see which process is accessing your oracle files?
You can get it from http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653.aspx
Once i had this problem while upgrading on NT and OUI threw error asthe files are being used and later found that some product from CA to scan the machine was keeping one of the oracle file. Killed that CA stuff and resumed the upgradation.

Why not simply read the Installation Notes that covers the upgrade steps?

Upgrading RAC

Hai all,
We have implemented 10g RAC on win 2003 with ASM
Am upgrading my db from 10.2.0.3.0 to 10.2.0.4.0 ...Do I have to upgrade the clusterware and asm seperately befoer doin that .. if so, how can I do that ?
kai

10.2.0.4 is a patchset that you will have to apply separately on each product. In Oracle Cluster environment, you should upgrade the Oracle Clusterware first. You can upgrade the Oracle Clusterware in rolling manner so that you would not require any downtime. To upgrade the Oracle database and ASM, you should look at the readme of the patch.
Thanks & Regards

Upgrade of RAC database in 10g or 11g

Hi,
Can we upgrade RAC database without downtime like we do patch?

user602441 wrote:

RegardsHi,
The Oracle Clusterware software always fully supports rolling upgrades, while the ASM software is rolling upgradeable at version 11.1.0.6 and beyond.
Rolling upgrade: we mean upgrading software (Oracle Database, Oracle Clusterware, ASM or the OS itself) while the cluster is operational by shutting down a node, upgrading the software on that node, and then reintegrating it into the cluster, and so forth one node at a time until all the nodes in the cluster are at the new software level.
For the Oracle Database software (RAC), it is possible only for certain single patches that are marked as rolling upgrade compatible. Most Bundle patches and Critical Patch Updates (CPU) are rolling upgradeable. Patchsets and DB version (10g to 11g) changes are not supported in a rolling fashion, one reason that this may be impossible is that across major releases, there may be incompatible versions of the system tablespace, for example. To upgrade these in a rolling fashion one will need to use a logical standby with Oracle Database 10g or 11g.

Capture streaming does not work after upgrade of the source database.

Hello,
We have a complex system with 2 X RAC databases 10.2.0.4 (source) and 2 X single databases (target) 11.2.0.2
Streaming is running only from source to target.
After upgrading RAC databases to 11.2.0.2 , streaming is working only from one RAC to one single database.
First RAC streaming is flowing to first single database only, and second RAC to second single only.

Require Detail Information for Upgrading 9.2.0.5 to 11.1.0.7 on AIX

Dear Masters .
Please can any one help me regarding the Up gradation..
We had RAC Production database with version 9.2.0.5 with HACMP cluster on Aix 5.1 (64bit) i want to Upgrade Rac Database with 11.1.0.7 version on New servers of AIX 5.3(64 bit) HACMP P5 series server .
please Let me know or proved me with some valuable documents that will help me in this upgrade .

Hello,
To upgrade from 9.2 to 11.1 it can be done by export/import straightly and it's cross plateform.
But export/import can be long if your database is rather large (> 100 GB).
Else, if you want to use other migration technique as Transportable Tablespace you must care on the
Plateform compatibility and, it seems to me that plateform compatibilty is possible starting with 10g.
I'm not an AIX expert and, I'm not sure that datafiles in AIX 5.1 are compatible with AIX 5.3 even in
Oracle 9.2.
The problem is that neither Oracle 11.1 nor an intermediate release (10.1 or 10.2) are certified on AIX 5.1.
So you'll have to change Oracle Release and Plateform version in one step. Export/Import seems to me safer
in this kind of situation.
Best regards,
Jean-Valentin
