Upgrade scenarios

Hi experts!
Where can I find a list of possible upgrade scenarios like the "System Switch Upgrade" for instance? Need to evaluate different possibilities to upgrade our system.
Thanks and best regards,
Matthias

  • Upgrade scenario order SP1 for SLES11 and ZCM11

    Hello,
    At the moment we have:
    SLES 11.0 with ZCM 10.3.0 (2x primary, 1x external sybase db, 1x sattelite img)
    When ZCM11 is public we want to upgrade.
    What is the best order to upgrade?
    1. First upgrade all the servers to SLES 11 SP1 and then inplance to ZCM11, or
    2. First upgrade all the servers to ZCM 11 and then upgrade SLES 11 to SP1.
    I hope someone call tell me what's the best supported upgrade scenario.

    SLES 11 SP1 is not supported in 10.3.0, Hence for any supported
    configuration you would need to update to ZCM 11.0 (or 10.3.1) prior to
    updating to SLES 11 SP1.

  • ZDM 7 upgrade scenario

    I was curious if the following upgrade scenario is supported?
    Install new ZDM 7 server onto new server w/ new DB, configured to be new root server.
    Configure existing ZDM 6.5 root server as intermediate with DB, with new policy to roll up its inventory to new ZDM 7 DB server. After inventory is replicated, change default Inventory Object from ZDM 6.5 server to new ZDM 7 Invetory Object.
    Upgrade intermediate ZDM 6.5 to ZDM 7.
    Configure leaf server roll up policy to eventually roll up to new ZDM 7 root server, upgrading leaf servers as time allows. Once all leaf servers are configured to roll up to new server, demote intermediate server to just a leaf server.
    I think this scenario would be helpful in mitigating any downtime by allowing the major upgrade to occur during business hours, with little downtime for HelpDesk staff that rely on the the Inventory DB.
    Thanks,
    Corey

  • New HD Upgrade Scenarios

    I want to upgrade to a 7200rpm internal drive.
    I want a backup of my drive if my computer ever crashes.
    I want to use the timemachine function.
    Dont really care about internal or external storage space right now.
    How can I accomplish all three? Am planning on getting a 320 internal drive, WD or Hit. Will clone my old drive to the new.
    Can I have the old drive as is in a firewire enclosure AND use the extra space as room for the time machine? Or should I just put the old drive away somewhere and use another external drive as a backup?
    Working on a budget of a $30 enclosure, a $85 HD. My current drive has 55GB used, probably could fit this on a 60GB drive and throw it in the safe.
    One last thing to think about is having a good set up for a new macbook in two-three years, I may splurge and get the solidstate drive if it is reasonable AND is faster than a 7200 HD.
    Suggestions? Points for frugalness and easy to understand explanations

    Can I use the external drive as an archived clone incase my internal drive dies AND use it for the 'timemachine' function?
    Sure, you could do that, but that doesn't make it an ideal solution to your anticipated need.
    If you want a bootable clone, you're going to have to partition the old 150GB drive into at least two partitions: one for the clone and the other for Time Machine. Which means that you're locked into a clone partition size. Let's say you're generous and allocate half of the 150GB drive to a clone partition. What happens when you accumulate more files and the 53GB of data you have now balloons past that 75GB value? You'd have to erase and re-partition, wiping your clone and Time Machine backups.
    I know, you said that you're not planning on adding any content to the drive anytime soon, but that new 500GB drive is going to beckon for adding stuff to it... It does happen.
    I'd pick one route or the other, not a combination of both. Using Time Machine is simpler, requiring no effort on your part other than connecting the drive so it can run its routines. But you will need your Install disc if something goes wrong and you need to restore your system. Cloning requires more diligence on your part to make sure that the cloning routine gets executed regularly to protect your data.
    Just my 2¢

  • Standby database upgrade scenario

    Hi all
    I have to databases. One 10.1.3 and second 10.1.5
    I created standby database for 10.1.3 database. And now want to create second standby database for my second 10.1.5 database...
    How I must do it?
    Can I convert (or how can I convert) my installed 10.1.3 standby database to preapre creating another 10.1.5 standby database?
    Thanks...

    I have to say that's not very clear for me.
    You have one 10.1.3 database with a standby.
    You have one 10.1.5 database you want to build a standby on.
    Right ?
    So, why do you need to "convert" the 10.1.3 standby to 10.1.5 ?
    Keep in mind, it's better having the standby database in same verion/release/patchset as the primary db.
    Nicolas.

  • WAD Java script issue after upgrade to 7.3

    Dear all,
    We have just upgraded our system from BW 7.01 to 7.3 SP4. One of the custom web templates in the system uses java script to hide few items on every screen refresh. Post upgrade, this functionality is behaving strangely, as the hidden items automatically get 'un-hidden' on page refresh.
    Please let me know if there are any known script issues in web templates in system upgrade scenarios. Any pointers would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Abhishek.

  • Upgrade ASM Oracle 10.2.0.4.0 to ASM Oracle 11G R2 on Windows 2008 SP2

    Please advice on procedure or where I can find information on upgrading ASM from Oracle 10G to Oracle 11G R2 (Winwdows 2008 SP2 64bit environment) for mutiple Oracle instances (not a RAC environrment).
    The current scenario is as follow:
    - Two oracle homes; one for ASM instance and another for the Oracle Databases (in current case only two oracle instances possiblly more at a later time). Both (ASM and Oracle databases) have the same version of Oracle 10.2.4.0.
    The Oracle database home can't be upgraded due to application restricition (Vendor Application not tested on Oracle 11G) but will like to upgrade the ASM instance to Oracle 11G (Oraclle 11G R2).
    Questions:
    - Is is a feasable solution? Can I upgrade ASM instance to Oracle 11G R2 to take advantage of new features? Will the ASM upgrade scenario is compatible with the Oracle Database Instance running Oracle 10G? Any possible issues that I should be aware or concerns?
    Is it possible to have ASM running in Oracle 11G R2 and service the need of Oracle database instance running in 10G?
    Please advice or where I can obtained information on the matter. Also possibly if someone has done it on Windows 2008 SP2 (not Windows 2008R2).
    Thanks in advance

    Thanks so I can upgrade the ASM Home instance and leave the Oracle Databases home on Oracle 10.2.0.4.
    I agree with you not just 100%, actually 120%. Fortunately, the vendor is finally understanding by pressure provided by DBAs and Application Teams that they are very behind the curve. It is working and by summer we should have an oracle 11G compatible product.
    The same thought went when I was told of their compatability database level.

  • Upgrading WFM 8.0(2) to 8.5(2)

    I need to upgrade Quality Manager (part of the WFM suite) from 8.0(2) to 8.5(2). 
    In reading the installation guide, it says that
    WFM 8.5(2) supports upgrades from the following versions:
    ■WFM 8.3(3)
    ■WFM 8.3(4)
    ■WFM 8.5(1)
    No other upgrade scenarios are supported.
    So it sounds like I need to go from 8.0(2) to 8.3(3), then 8.5(2).
    For step 1: 8.0(2) to 8.3(3) it appears to support an in-place upgrade.  But for Step 2: 8.3(3) to 8.5(2) it's just a clean install and database restore?
    Just wanted to confirm that if possible.
    Thanks,
    Bill

    Hey Bill, nope, actually you don't need to do that.
    That's the WFM instructions.  Make sure you get the QM specific instructions (Cisco Unified Workforce Optimization Quality Management Installation Guide 8.5(2))
    It allows direct upgrade from 8.x to 8.5(2).
    Goodluck!

  • 2.2.1 upgrade to 3.1 - flows_030100 invalid password

    All,
    I have upgraded APEX 2.2.1 to APEX 3.1. After the upgrade I tried to login as flows_030100 (the account has been unlocked) but get an ORA-01017: invalid username/password: logon denied
    Should the password for flows_030100 be the same as that for flows_020200?
    Does the password for the flows_030100 schema need to be changed?
    If so, is it enough to issue an alter user command?
    Thanks,
    Riz

    Did you use the script from the install directions?
    3.5 Changing the Password for the ADMIN Account
    In a new installation of Oracle Application Express, or if you are converting a runtime environment to a development environment, you must change the password of the internal ADMIN account. In an upgrade scenario, the password will be preserved and carried over from the prior release.
    To change the password for the ADMIN account:
    1. Change your working directory to the apex directory where you unzipped the installation software.
    2. Start SQL*Plus and connect to the database where Oracle Application Express is installed as SYS specifying the SYSDBA role. For example:
    On Windows:
    SYSTEM_DRIVE:\ sqlplus /nolog
    connect sys as sysdba
    On UNIX and Linux:
    $ sqlplus /nolog
    connect sys as sysdba
    When prompted, enter the appropriate password.
    3. Run apxchpwd.sql. For example:
    @apxchpwd
    When prompted enter a password for the ADMIN account.

  • Best practices for upgrading Windows Server Essentials 2012 to R2?

    Hi,
    I need to upgrade my Windows Server Essentials 2012 on an HP microserver to Essentials R2 (specifically the R2 role on Standard rather than as a VM). After a reasonable amount of searching, I haven't found anything online that specifically addresses this in-place
    upgrade scenario. Since this is already an Essentials server, it's the PDC in its own domain, etc. Has anyone that's done this upgrade have any experiences or warnings to share?
    Thanks,
    Sean

    Hello there,
    There is no upgrade path from Server 2012 Essentials to R2.  R2 is not an upgrade, it is a new build.  Essentials does not upgrade easily, you will want to perform a migration of the server.  This will require additional hardware.  You
    can possibly backup the 2012 Essentials, build a temp server on workstation hardware just to do the migration from,  restore the backup to the new server and then perform the migration to R2. 

  • Upgrades in Full Infrastructure Mode

    Hi there
    I've been considering the Upgrade scenario for an application. To my knowledge this was handled better in App-V 4.6 but I would be very happy to be corrected. My question comes in 2 scenarios. 
    Scenario A:
    We have an application (EG: Chrome v30). The logged on user (or another user) is using that application in their shared VDI session when I add Chrome v31 to the App-V Management Server and publish it. 
    I want to be able to have that user close their app, re-launch the shortcut and have the new version automatically. Is this possible? All of my testing would indicate that they would need to logoff/logon in order for this to happen properly. I can't find any
    MS documentation that it is possible. And certainly not without the logoff action. I (The customer) really wants instantaneous upgrades. :)
    Scenario B:
    I have a shared desktop VDI environment. I publish app-v apps using full App-V infrastrcture. I upgrade an application on the backend. 
    - What is the fastsest way of getting the apps to the users? (Ideally it's instantaneous but because of AD replication timing this will be difficult) 
    I would need to trigger both a Publishing server refresh (default timeout is 600 seconds so don't want to go beyond that). Should I run a Sync-AppVPublishingServer command on my management server? And then trigger a client refresh by running TaskSched remotely
    for all VDI hosts?
    (I am *ideally* looking to rid us of the Logoff/Logon action and speed up the delivery)
    Thanks
    David Murphy

    Hi,
    Scenario A:
    This is possible. From a timing perspective, that mainly depends on the following points:
    your Publishing Server refresh interval (when the Publishing Server publishes the new information)
    The interval when your Client synchronizes with the Publishing Server. You can enforce that either manually (Sync-AppvPublishingServer), with the App-V Client UI (it's an additional App-V package you can deploy) or you can set a refresh interval so
    that Client synchronizes with the Server periodically. Look for UserRefreshInterval
    and GlobalRefreshInterval: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj687745.aspx
    The old version of the app only gets replaced by the new version when the old version isn't "in use" anymore. You could enforce closing the app by powershell cmdlet.
    Scenario B:
    You run Sync-AppVPublishingServer on the client and not on the server. This command checks if there is a change required on the client. How do you deploy your apps, globally (per computer) or per user? Note that an application doesn't get updated
    when it's still in use. So when you want to update an app, it only gets updated when the older version isn't in use anymore. I'm not sure if it's a good idea to update a version during the day when users work with the app. If that's your use case, then you
    could enforce the update by app-v cmdlets (that would enforce closing the app for everyone).

  • Using USB Devices in RDS VDI with Windows 8.1 Scenario

    We are currently in a Upgrade Scenario from our old Windows XP/ Citrix XenDesktop Farm to a new VDI Installation. The new Installation is a Windows Server 2012 R2 Remote Desktop Services Collection using Remote Desktop Virtualizaion Hosts on 2012 R2 too.
    The VD- Clients are Windows 8.1 ENT and the User Endpoints are HP ThinClients with Windows Embedded 8.1 Industry Enterprise.
    The user connects to his Virtual Desktop via 8.1 Embedded (RDP8.1)
    We want all new USB- Drives to map natively in the RDP- Session (RemoteFX USB redirect) so USB- Sticks or CD/DVD Drives are controlled by the VD-Client OS.
    We understand, that there are so called "high level devices" which RDP is using per Default. We also know, that there is a GPO that redirects all "other supportet USB devices". That works well for e.g. Webcams, but we want to override the
    "high Level devices" policy an simply map a e.g. USB Stick natively to the RDP Destination.
    Currently the drive is mapped as a "high Level usb device" and the usb key has no drive letter, cant be formattet or used in other RemoteApp Sessions initiated on the VD- Client OS.
    The Systems we are using:
    Windows 8.1 Enterprise - VD Client on HyperV 2012 R2 FO Cluster
    Windows 8.1 Embedded Industry Enterprise as ThinClient OS
    Windows Server 2012 R2 as Middleware (RDS VDI Collection, Web Access)
    Thank you in Advance
    Chris

    Hi Chris,
    Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
    The USB devices that you would like to use in the remote session must be plugged in before starting Remote Desktop Connection; devices plugged in during the session will not be redirected.
    Have you tried to reconfigure the USB device?
    Please try to remove that device and reconfigure with use of following command and check whether issue get resolved.
    Set-RDVirtualDesktopCollectionConfiguration –CollectionName YourCollectionName –CustomRdpProperty "usbdevicestoredirect:s:{6bdd1fc6-810f-11d0-bec7-08002be2092f }"
    where {6bdd1fc6-810f-11d0-bec7-08002be2092f} is the System-Defined Device Setup Class GUID.
    More information.

  • SAP Server upgrade from Windows 2003 and 2008 R2 with Oracle Database

    Hi,
    We need to upgrade upgrade our Windows servers that are running our SAP systems from Windows Server 2003 to Windows Server 2008 R2.  We are using Microsoft Clustering for HA so an inplace upgrade seems not possible.
    Someone has suggested to us that we will need to export our database and reimport it to achieve this upgrade however but I cannot understand why this would be necessary (we are not changing the underlying filesystem!).
    Could someone please confirm whether a database export and import is required for this OS upgrade scenario?  I have done a bit of research but nothing has jumped out and now I need an answer to this quickly.
    We are running
    - ERP 6.0 NW 7.01 (soon to be 7.02 with ABAP stack only)
    - XI(PI) Java & ABAP
    - SRM (Java & ABAP)
    - Portal (Java only)
    - PLM (Java & ABAP)
    - BW (BI 7.0) (Java and ABAP)
    Thank You
    Felicity

    Hello,
    You need to go for 'Homogeneous System Copy' to achieve this, but since almost all the systems in your landscape include the Java Stack as well - so the system copy with Export/Import is to be carried out.
    Even if you are not going for file system change, but it is a Windows environment and you can't put SAP up on the target Windows (windows 2008 R2) just by copying the contents and file system from source to target. You need SAPinst to create the registry and all. - On top of that you have Java stacks involved, so for java stack you can't carry out just backup/restore method to put SAP up there on target - so you need Export/import because for java stack some OS level dump is to be collected during system copy from source and it needs to be imported on target OS.
    Are you clear on this one ?
    Read system copy guide once and Search in OSS for the Notes to check how to upgrade from Windows 2003 to Windows 2008 R2.
    Thanks

  • How to upgrade standby doubt

    hello,
    I read various Oracle documents, guides and metalink notes but I still have some doubts. Perhaps I missed something.
    starting env: dataguard (manual config, without broker) env with primary and physical standby in 11.2.0.1 on Linux x86_64
    I don't want to go with rolling upgrades or similar; I'm on a test environment and also for production I can tolerate some downtime during the week end.
    My upgrade scenario is to install sw in new oracle_home as recommended.
    One note: the link provided in note 884522.1 gives a file for preupgrade (utlu112i.sql) that is not current ... I had to make a clean install of 11.2.0.2 and get the file provided inside rdbms/adin directory....
    I start runInstaller with primary DB open and physical in mount with managed recovery and in sync
    I install new binaries and then complete the dbua step (100% without errors)
    I only had to change my log_archive_dest_2 that was
    service=TESDB1DR ASYNC DB_UNIQUE_NAME=TESDB1DR VALID_FOR=(primary_role, online_logfile) COMPRESSION=ENABLE
    and worked in 11.2.01. but dbua complained about syntax and so I had to change in:
    service=TESDB1DR ASYNC DB_UNIQUE_NAME=TESDB1DR VALID_FOR=(online_logfiles,primary_role) COMPRESSION=ENABLE
    Now I have my primary db in new version.
    dbua didn't update the tnsnames.ora, so I get this on primary alert.log
    Thu Nov 04 15:25:33 2010
    Error 12154 received logging on to the standby
    PING[ARC2]: Heartbeat failed to connect to standby 'TESDB1DR'. Error is 12154.
    while at the end of upgrade, on standby alert.log I got:
    TNS-00507: Connection closed
    nt secondary err code: 0
    nt OS err code: 0
    Error 12537 received logging on to the standby
    FAL[client, USER]: Error 12537 connecting to TESDB1 for fetching gap sequence
    Errors in file /app/oracle/diag/rdbms/tesdb1dr/TESDB1DR/trace/TESDB1DR_pr00_21338.trc:
    ORA-12537: TNS:connection closed
    Errors in file /app/oracle/diag/rdbms/tesdb1dr/TESDB1DR/trace/TESDB1DR_pr00_21338.trc:
    ORA-12537: TNS:connection closed
    Thu Nov 04 13:23:12 2010
    What are the steps to do at standby? The same as in primary:
    1) install binaries for 11.2.0.2
    2) upgrade db
    and only at the end
    3) modify parameters on both instances tnsnames.ora so that they are able again to communicate
    Can the standby db stay in mount + recovery mode while upgrading?
    I hope I have not to refresh the whole standby....
    Thanks for suggestions,
    Gianluca

    What do you mean by "Do I have to manually update my .ora files?" and where Primary or Standby?When on standby I select install software only, I get a new $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin that is empty
    So I presume I have to copy my 11.2.0.1 tnsnames.ora and listener.ora to the new path
    And to change inside my listener.ora the line
    (ORACLE_HOME = /app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1)
    matching now
    (ORACLE_HOME = /app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_2)
    at least for the instances I want to upgrade (if more than one)
    Also, I noticed that upgrading the primary with dbua, it got as a result this kind of "strange" tnsnames.ora:
    # tnsnames.ora Network Configuration File: /app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_2/network/admin/tnsnames.ora
    # Generated by Oracle configuration tools.
    TESDB1 =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = primary_server_name)(PORT = 1522))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
    (SERVER = DEDICATED)
    (SERVICE_NAME = TESDB1)
    LISTENER_TESDB1 =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = primary_server_name)(PORT = 1522))
    And this listener.ora
    # listener.ora Network Configuration File: /app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_2/network/admin/listener.ora
    # Generated by Oracle configuration tools.
    LISTENER =
    (DESCRIPTION_LIST =
    (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC1522))
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = primary_server_name)(PORT = 1522))
    ADR_BASE_LISTENER = /app/oracle
    So it seems it didn't update the network config. It has no knowledge of my standby TESDB1DR
    I presume I can copy listener.ora and tnsnames.ora as configured in 11.2.0.1...
    From 11.2.0.1 to 11.2.0.2 I don't think about major changes in these files... am I correct?
    Thanks for your time.
    Gianluca
