Upgrade to 11.2 / 11.1 with ASM from 9.2.0.5

Hi,
What are the options available to upgrade the database from 9.2.0.5 to either 11.1 / 11.2 with ASM. I know that we can upgade the following. But, how to do with ASM
9.2.0.5 -> 11.1
9.2.0.5 -> 9.2.0.8 -> 11.2
Thanks in Advance,
-KarthicK

Hi,
As per the compatibility matrix of 11gR1 you can upgrade directly from 9.2.0.4 or higher onwards.
And for 11gR2 you can upgrade directly from 9.2.0.8 or higher onwards.
Database Server Upgrade/Downgrade Compatibility Matrix [ID 551141.1]
ASM was a feature introduced from 10g onwards.
Hence for 11gR1, you should install 11gR1 with ASM and proceed upgrading the database.
for 11gR2, you should upgrade database to 9.2.0.8 patchset, install 11gR2 with ASM and proceed upgrading the database.
You can refer to below notes for upgrading your database using manual method.

Upgraded to TimeCapsule and now issues with AirPrint from iPhone and iPad

Okay. I bought a HP 210a air print printer. It was working great with my Linksys router and my iPad and iPhone worked with it perfectly. Since that time I have recently bought a new new 2TB Time Capsule and just recently set it up. The old router is no longer hooked up. Since switching over to the new router, nothing prints from the iPhone or iPad. So here are the details and I am hoping I am just missing a step:
1. I think it is important to point this part out. After setting up the new router, and before discovering any of this, I turned on the HP printer. Upon doing so, the printer informed me a software update was available from HP so I downloaded it and it appeared everything was fine.
2. After the update, I tried printing and nothing. Duh, the printer was still looking for the old router. I ran the built in HP wireless setup wizard on the printer and it pointed to the new router fine. I tested the connection using the test feature on the printer, and it printed a report that all was fine and that it was now pointed at the Time Capsule, great signal, etc...
3. I went to my iPhone and iPad, made sure they were pointed at the same network as the printer, and once again the printer appeared on each device as an AirPrint printer. Great I thought, so printed a test a page from each device. Both pages printed. Now here is where it gets weird.
4. I tried to print a second document from the iPad and iPhone, nothing. I tried a picture. Nothing. It still shows eveything setup correctly, the HP shows as the AirPrint printer and connected, but no matter what I do, it nothing is printing from either device. I've tried resetting my network settings on the iPhone and iPad and pointing to the network again, re-running the HP setup Wizard on the printer. They all show that everything is fine. The iPhone and iPad connect to the network fine, both show the printer when I go to print. However, after I hit the "print" button on either device, it shows like the document is being sent but NOTHING happens on the HP. It is very frustrating.
The WiFi is working fine, I can surf, email, etc... so the router is working properly. So what am I missing? Could the HP update somehow have caused the problem? I have to believe that between the update and the new router that somewhere I am missing a step. Any help is greatly appreciated.

If that doesn't work, try power cycling your router, printer, and your iPad/iPhone in that order. To do this, follow these steps:
Unplug the router and printer from the power and shut off the i-devices. Let them sit for about 30 seconds and then plug just the router in.
Once the router is completely back online (usually takes about 30-60 seconds) plug the printer in. Wait until it is back on its home screen.
Turn the i-devices on.
Try to print again.
Let me know if this helps!
If I have solved your issue, please feel free to provide kudos and make sure you mark this thread as solution provided!
Although I work for HP, my posts and replies are my own opinion and not those of HP.

Database upgrade - Oracle 10g r2 ,RAC(2 Nodes with ASM) upgrade from HP-UX to RHEL 5.9

Hi All
I am planning to upgrade our RAC database 2 nodes with ASM from HP-UX to RHEL 5.9.
Following is our setup
Current setup:
Oracle Database 10g r2 (10.2.0.5.0) RAC database.
Nodes: 2
Storage: ASM
OS: HP-UX ia64
Database Size: 1.2 TB
New Setup:
Oracle Database 10g r2(10.2.0.5.0) RAC database
Nodes: 2
Storage: ASM
OS: RHEL 5.9 x86 64
Since we are moving from a big endian format to a small endian format(HP-UX to RHEL 5.9) the same ASM cannot be used.
Kindly help me with process and other important documents to be followed.
Thanks.

Hi...
If it was a standlone database concepts like transportable tablespaces, rman would have been convenient.
Since we are using a RAC database with ASM as storage how do we use these techniques specified in NOTE:733205.1
Due to endianness issue we cannot use the same ASM instance.
Along with the new RAC node install a new ASM instance would have to be created.
Kindly help me with migration for RAC with existing ASM to new Hardware
Thanks and Regards

Upgrade 10.2.0.4 - 11.2.0.3 with ASM on linux

I'm a bit confused by the oracle upgrade documentation - I need to upgrade to 11.2.0.3 from 10.2.0.4 on linux.
I've got a 10.2 database running ASM. I've tested an 11.2 upgrade last year without running an ASM upgrade or grid intall (just to check some compatibility issues at the time).
However I want to run an ASM and a database upgrade. The documentation says (repeatedly) that you should install grid infrastructure first or you'll need to configure it manually. However when I read the Grid Infrastucture documentation it seems to suggest that if you want to upgrade an existing ASM instance (which I do) then you'll have to do it manually in any case.
My biggest concern is this : will a 10.2.0.4 database work with a 11.2 ASM instance ? If it can't, then surely the thing to do is upgrade the database first.

Just you need to Install Grid Infrastructure Home in a separate home and RDBMS software in another separate home.
While Installing GI you need to create ASM Disk groups.
Refer my blogpost Installation of GI on standalone solaris box:
http://appsdbaworkshop.blogspot.com/2010/10/installation-of-11202-grid.html
ASM rolling upgrade is support from 11gR1 itself. So while upgrade you would bring down you rexisting ASM instance and do the upgrade. So in this process your database wont be available.
See following blog:
http://oracle-install.blogspot.in/2011/03/steps-to-upgrade-10204-single-instance.html
and

Oracle 10g RAC with ASM upgrade RHEL3 to RHEL4

Has anyone acheived this or know of any documentation highlighting any pitfalls ?

Hi.
If you are using raw devices for ASM, I would not expect there to be a problem. I would have thought all you have to do is:
- Stop Oracle from starting automatically on reboot.
- Reboot the server and upgrade the OS.
- Make sure all the prerequisites for the new OS are meet (check the isntall guide).
- Startup Oracle.
Note. It may be wise to do a "$ORACLE_HOME/bin/relink all" to make sure.
If you are using ASMLib with ASM, then you will also need to upgrade your ASMLib software, as this is kernel version specific.
Of course, I've never had to do this, so don't take my word for it :) Maybe an SR on Metalink is in order.

Please verify my RAC install with ASM procedure with a question.

Good morning.
My installation procedure on RAC with ASM (ASM will be on separate home from DB):
1. Install clusterware 10.2.0.1
2. Apply database patchset 6810189 upgrade clusterware to 10.2.0.4
3. Apply CRS patch bundle #4 8436582 to clusterware
4. Install oracle DB home 10.2.0.1
5. Apply database patchset 6810189 upgrade to 10.2.0.4
6. Apply DB PSU (patch# 8576156) 10.2.0.4.1 (includes CPUJUL2009) to the oracle home
(steps 7-9 are similar as step 4-5, except for ASM home. Or should I install ASM home before installing DB home? )
7. Install oracle DB home 10.2.0.1 for ASM and configure ASM
8. Apply database patchset 6810189 upgrade to 10.2.0.4 for ASM
9. Apply DB PSU (patch# 8576156) 10.2.0.4.1 (includes CPUJUL2009) to the oracle home for ASM
10. Run DBCA to create database.
Can I apply DB PSU (patch# 8576156) 10.2.0.4.1 (INCLUDES CPUJUL2009) to DB while the clusterware is 10.2.0.4, as I know DB version should not be higher than clusterware version? Or can I upgrade clusterware to 10.2.0.4.1?
Thanks for advice,

Hi,
Applying PSU (10.2.0.4.1) does not mean that you are moving to higher version of Oracle. Oracle releases will be like 10.2.0.4 , 10.2.0.5 like that.
10.2.0.4.1 is the PSU version for Jul 2009 PSU.
10.2.0.4.2 is the PSU version for Oct 2009 PST.
Like CPUs PSUs are also quarterly. It is not necessary oracle should release the PSU/CPU for every oracle home/CRS home every quarter.
For now, the PSU (Patch no: 8576156) is only applicable as shown below.
PSU 10.2.0.4.1 includes the following previously released bundle patches:
- Generic Recommended Bundle #4 (Patch 8362683)
- RAC Recommended Bundle #3 (Patch 8344348)
- Data Guard Broker Recommended Bundle #1 (Patch 7936793)
- Data Guard Physical/Recovery Recommended Bundle #1 (Patch 7936993)
- Data Guard Logical Recommended Bundle #1 (Patch 7937113)
Refer to the installation types of this patch (download README of this patch bundle).
Table 1 Installation Types and Security Content
Server homes - PSU 10.2.0.4.1
Client-Only Installations - None
Instant Client Installations - None
(The Instant Client installation is not the same as the client-only Installation.
For additional information about Instant Client installations, see Oracle Database Concepts.)
ASM (Automatic Storage - PSU 10.2.0.4.1
Management) homes
CRS (Cluster Ready Services) - None
homes
So, there is no PSU patch for this quarter for CRS Home. You may check the previous CPU/PSUs to make your home secured/updated with all patches.

How to convert single instance10g db to 11gR2 RAC with ASM

Hi,
I need your help to decide the plan about how to convert single instance 10g database to 11gr2 rac with asm.
I can have about 6 to 8 hours of downtime to upgrade and move to rac with asm.
db size is about 1.5tb and on AIX.
here is my plan....
1) install 11gr2 rac with asm on two nodes
2) verify rac installation and clustered asm
3)install 10g oracle binaries( yes 10g )
4) shutdown production db ( machine prod )
5) make copy of production and restore on 1st node ( using shadow image , so it's quick and its file system )
6) upgrade db to 11g ( still of file system )
7) after successful upgrade, move to asm ( rman backup )
8) add another node
does it look okay ? OR is there a better approach to save time?
can someone help me ?
Thanks...

Thanks ...
So here is what I thought... suggest if something is not right...
1) install 11gr2 grid infra on node A and B with ASM
2) stop CLUSTER ON BOTH NODES.
3) shutdown prod db on 10g ( downtime starts )
4) take rman cold backup
5) restore rman backup on node A on ASM ( as if single instance 11g , no rac parameters )
6) mount and run upgrade script for 11g, then open db with 11
7) after successful upgrade, shutdown db node A
8) change all rac related parameters, spfile,undo,redo for rac environment on both nodes
9) open db in rac environment
can I do this way ?
My only question is, even though I installed rac on node A and B, in step 5 and 6 I'm using only node A as if it is single instance. Is it possible ?
if it is then I'm good to go...
Thanks for all suggestions.

Sun Solaris 10,Upgrade 8 or higher,having issues with VxFS,for Oracle 11gr2

A while ago, we tried doing a prototype upgrade of our main Oracle 10g db to Oracle 11gr2.
The OS on which our Oracle 10g is running is Sun Solaris 10, upgrade 4.
According to Oracle 11gr2 documentation, we need Sun Solaris 10, upgrade 6 or higher for Oracle 11g2.
The filesystem we are using is VxFS, Veritas File System.
According to our system administrator, we had issues , making Sun Solar 10, upgrade 8 , work with the VxFS filesystem.
I was wondering if anybody is running Oracle 11g2 on Sun Solaris 10 upgrade 6 or higher with VxFS file system.
At present, our Oracle db upgrade project is on a hold, because of the above issue. So your help on this , can really help us in figuring out if there is an issue between VxFS filesystem and Sun Solaris 10 OS.
Thanks
Ashish

Hi Ashish,
We are not running Veritas Cluster file system.
We tried moving our Oracle 10g r2 db on ZFS ,before doing the upgrade and performance on ZFS was worst.
ZFS has certain memory parameter setting. If you did not configure that then ZFS will eat your complete system memory.
My system administrator, has gotten a copy of Solaris 10 upgrade 9 and will try that with VxFS.
I was curious to find out if folks are running Oracle 11g on Sun Solaris 10 with VxFS file system and if they had experienced any issue.If you can Install Vxfs on Oracle Soalris 10 U9, then according to me there sholudn't be any limitations for an oracle database.
Recently i installed Oracle database 11.2.0.2 on one of my test server. I have created two databases - one on ZFS and another on ASM.
Refer:
http://appsdbaworkshop.blogspot.com/2010/10/installation-of-11202-on-oracle-solaris.html
We dont have any performance issues. We are testing it for the performance benchmarks on both of the filesystem.
If you can Install Vxfs on Oracle Soalris 10 U9, then according to me there sholudn't be any limitations for an oracle database.

RAC with ASM and without ASM

Hi all,
we planing to install RAC 11g instance active/active . and we are using SAN storage RAID 10.
I know ASM is nice feature . but it need more maintenance in future . This is what I see
it from Manual and training . for patching ..... because it maintain as instance.
why I do need ASM since I have SAN and I can control mirroring ...etc
I need sold answer here ?? why I need to use this feature that already can be covered using another facility like SAN.
Best Regards,

What I have found in a RAC world is there is maintenance no matter which way you go, A cluster file system will require upgrades, patches, etc. RAW volumes will require extra effort in allocation, etc. as well as increase the number of files in the database. ASM requires additional instance on each node to maintain which is quite simple and rolling patches in ASM is becoming reality slowly. I have found that removing the management of RAW volumes is more trouble then the maintenance of the ASM instances and the added benefits of ASM outweigh the maintenance for sure. I found that the cluster file system mainteance is pretty well a wash.
As for ASM being widely used, the most recent RAC clusters (last 3) I have built have all been ASM....... 1 on HPUX and 2 on Linux (Red Hat and Oracle Enterprise Linux) and future clusters coming up that I know of are all going to be ASM as well. While it may be true that a lot of existing RAC environments have not yet gone to ASM almost all new RAC environments are. It is certainly taking hold. If you look at the effort on a large database to move to ASM from RAW volumes or cluster file system it can appear to be a lot of work and that is true, but in the long run my experience with ASM has been positive therefore I would not hesitate to recommend new RAC clusters be built with ASM and existing clusters should have a migration plan in place. As with some cluster file systems like veritas, GPFS, etc. There is addtional cost involved where ASM does not have the additional cost so moving existing clusters can save $$........ RAM volumne management may not fall on the DBA but someone has to manage all those volumnes at a SAN level and that is additional management just may not really be with the DBA.
Just my additional 2 cents worth.
Hope this helps.

Upgrade ERP database 11g and ATG7 with SSO integation

Please let us know how to Perform Upgrade ERP database 11g and ATG7 with SSO integation .
Regards .

We have completed to upgrade ERP database from 9.2.0.6 to 11.2.0.1 and also apply ATG 7 on Test instance.
And user finish testing , there is no issue after upgrade and application can work as normal.
On Test instance we didn't implement Single Sign On
But on Production we have Single Sign ON.
Now we plan to upgrade on Production instance. But we afraid that we will found any issue on Production relate to SSO. Becase we don't have a chance to test it.
My question is:
Are there any spacial step we need to do if we have implemented SSO After upgrade DB 11g and ATG 7?

10g Grid (RAC) on Linux with ASM and OCR?

I was trying to install 10g on Linux with ASM. The docs are not terribly clear on this, but I'd like to have the Oracle Cluster Registry (OCR) on one of my four ASM disks, rather than dedicate space to OCFS. I have 4 18.2 GB drives setup with ASM now. Is there a way to do this?
I guess the other thing I could do is to cut the ASM disks into two partitions. One, say 200MB and the other the rest. I'd put OCFS for OCR on the 200MB partition on one of the disks. The large partition on each of the rest of the disks would be dedicated to ASM.
What am I missing? I feel it must be something obvious. I'd rather have the OCR on the ASM, so that I don't have to deal with it...
Thanks!
Jeff

Hi.
There shouldn't be a problem with this provided you use a 32-bit OS on the 64 bit machine. RAC doesn't care about the chipset, so long as the same OS is used, but I don't thinkit will support one node on 32 bit and one on 64 bit, since they are actually separate distributions.
Of course, I've never tried it so I can't be sure :)

Oracle 10g R2 installation with ASM+RAC

Gurus,
Need some suggestuon on Oracle 10g R2 installation with ASM and RAC option.
We have found many documents on the Oracle, HP, HP-Oracle CTC and third party web sites, but nothing that is specific to this particular combination of separate
ORACLE_HOMEs, ASM and 10g RAC CRS. It is unclear for me from the documentation how this combination of ASM and 10.2g RAC may best be installed.
The high level steps i got after reading lot of docs as follows - but i am not sure whether these are correct or not. if they are correct, can any one share their experience/notes please?
1) Install CRS
2) Install RDBMS for ASM HOME - create separater oracle home for ASM instance using OUI
3) Install RDBMS for RAC Database Home - create separater oracle home for RAC database using OUI
4) Create ASM database using DBCA -
5) Use dbca to create database.

Oracle provides 'paint by numbers' tutorials called 'Oracle By Example'. (Go to OTN, check under the Training tab)
They have one for a Windows based ASM/RAC that you might want to review. Not your specific environment, but the steps will be dag-nabbed close.
I recommend walking the path (http://otn.oracle.com >> training:OBE >> Database 10g Release 1:VMWare:Installation
http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/obe10gdb_vmware/install/racinstallwin2k/racinstallwin2k.htm

Oracle 10g RAC design with ASM and OCFS

Hi all,
I have a question about a proposed Oracle 10g Release 2 RAC design for a 2 node cluster.
ASM can store database files but not Oracle binaries nor OCR and voting disk. As such, OCFS version 1 does not support a shared Oracle Home. We plan to use OCFS version 2 with ASM version 2 on Red Hat Linux Enteprrise Server 4 with Oracle 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.1).
For OCFS v2, a shared Oracle home and shared OCR and voting disk are supported. My question is does the following proposed architecture make sense for OCFS v2 with ASM v2 on Red Hat Linux 4?
Oracle 10g Release 2 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 4:
OCFS V2:
- shared Oracle home and binaries
- shared OCR and vdisk files
- CRS software shared OCFS v2 filesystem
- spfile
- controlfiles
- tnsnames.ora
ASM v2 with ASMLib v2:
Proposed ASM disk groups:
- data_dg for application data
- backupdg for flashback and archivelogs
- undo_rac1dg ASM diskgroup for undo tablespace for racnode1
- undo_rac2dg ASM diskgroup for undo tablespace for racnode2
- redo_rac1dg ASM diskgroup to hold redo logs for racnode1
- redo_rac2dg ASM diskgroup to hold redo logs for racnode2
- temp1dg temp tablespace for racnode1
- temp2dg temp tablespace for racnode2
Does this sound like a good initial design?
Ben Prusinski, Senior DBA

OK Tim, thanks for advices.
I think Netbackup can be integrated with RMAN but I don't want to loose time on this (political).
To summarize:
ORACLE_HOME and CRS_HOME on each node (RAID1 and NTFS)
Shared storage:
Disk1 and disk 2: RAID1: - Raw partition 1 for OCR
- Raw partition 2 for VotingDisk
- OCFS for FLASH_RECOVERY_AREA
Disk3, disk4 and disk5: RAID 0 - Raw with ASM redundancy normal 1 diskgroup for database files.
This is a running project here, will start testing the design on VMware and then go for production setup.
Regards
