Upgrading a RAC to new servers.

I will be upgrading from 10.2.0.4 (2 node RAC) on Windows 2003 to 11gr2 (2 node RAC) on Windows. I will be creating the new RAC on new servers.
My question is this, since it isn't a upgrade on the same server, do I just take an full export of the old 10.2.0.4 database and import it into the new 11gr2 database after creating the tablespaces or just a user export.
If a full export, then I assume sys,system and sysaux would also be brought over to the new machine. Is this correct and if so what effect will it have on the new instances.
I plan on spending alot of time researching and reading the documentation all summer since this will be done closer to December but understanding this will make reading the documentation easier. Thanks for all your help in clarifying this for me.

If you can use the word "export" it must be a remarkably small database. I would recommend transportable tablespaces.

  • ORACLE 10G 2 Node RAC on servers AB to 3 node 11GR2 RAC on  new servers XYZ

    Hi Gurus ,
    We have a business requirement to upgrade existing oracle 10.2.0.4 2 Node RAC on servers A,B (HP UX 11.31 ) to 3 Node ORACLE 11GR2 on new Servers X,Y and Z(Linux and servers are from different vendor)
    We don't have ASM.We have RAW file system
    Now this has to be done with near zero down time.This is a very busy OLTP System.Golden Gate is not an option as Management is not going for it this time.
    Storage is same for everything.I am thinking of the following ways.Please let me know if you have any better plan or if you want to correct my existing plan
    Initially i thought of this way and i immediately answered myself
    Plan A
    1 ) Storage copy (BC etc..) exising 10g RAC Database files on A,B to new volumes allocated to Servers X,Y and Z ( I don't think it's possible as OS is different.I am not sure whether copying this way is possible or not , even if possible i am not sure whether new OS can identify these files or not)
    2 ) upgrade 2 Node 10.2.0.4 on X,Y to 11GR2 .
    3 ) Add a Database Node on Z
    Plan B is
    1) Build 3 Node brand new 11GR2 on X,Y and Z
    2 ) Plan for how can you replicate the data ( This has to be a logical way)
    a ) RMAN - Very time consuming as this is >50 TB Database
    b) Golden Gate - Not an option.Even if we can use it , i see there are so many logical issues with golden gate
    c) Expdp/impdp - forget about it :)
    d) physical standby (Versions are different.If it is same version and Same OS then would have been best bet)
    What would be the ideal way to do this with minium down time and with out golden gate
    I think something can be done on the lines of PLAN A itself.
    Requesting your help Gurus
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Have you considered possibility to setup a logical standby and do rolling upgrade ?
    Please have a look at the following:
    1) http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/features/availability/maa-wp-11g-transientlogicalrollingu-1-131927.pdf
    2) http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/features/availability/maa-wp-11g-upgrades-made-easy-131972.pdf
    If you can practice on test setup, it looks a faster option than the others.

  • LiveCycle ES2.5 to ES4 Upgrade - New servers

    Greetings!
    My organization is going to embark on and upgrade from ES2.5 to ES4. The upgrade we are going to perform is the ES4 upgrade that comes with a maintenance agreement.
    We are going to add new servers and basically start over.
    I have been searching for documentation on how to do this upgrade. I need verification of the process. What I am seeing is that we need to load ES2.5 on the new servers and then apply the ES4 upgrade to ES2.5. Is this correct?

    nobody had such an issue during upgradeprocess?
    i'm a little bit confused because i replaced all .jars and went through the upgradeguide again and again without any success so far.
    maybe it's just a tiny bit of nothing.

  • Moving SCOM environment to new servers

    We need to upgrade our SCOM servers from Windows Server 2008 to 2012.   In our current environment we have all of our servers in the same environment -- both Prod and Test servers.  When we make the move to new servers, we want to fix that,
    so that we have a proper Test environment with only the Test agents in it, and a Prod environment as well.    So, because we don't want to carry forward all of the old data that no longer applies to that environment, we were thinking that we'd
    just no migrate over the SCOM databases, and start fresh.   I have an idea of how I plan to tackle this migration, but I am looking for some confirmation that what I have in mind make sense and would work.   So here's how I foresee the
    migration going...
    1.  We install SCOM onto all the new Test environment servers, with a fresh database, everything brand new.
    2.  We export the management packs from the current SCOM environment and then import them into the new SCOM environment.
    3.  We update the Test SCOM agents and tell them to report to the new Test SCOM environment.
    4.  Repeat the same steps for Prod.
    Is it really as simple as that?   Seems like if we have the management packs there, that all the overrides we've configured should still be there as well as the groups, monitors, rules, etc that we've created in our current environment.  
    So if we simply import those onto the new environment and tell the agent to go there, then everything should still apply correctly, right?
       Does that make sense?   Am I missing something and it's not really this easy?

    Yes, it really is that simple. It's even easier if you have to upgrade the agents. I've already done this to migrate from SCOM 2007R2 to 2012R2. I stood up the new environment, imported the MPs and then ran discovery for the systems I wanted in that environment.
    The new SCOM 2012R2 MG deployed/upgraded the agents and they were "dual-homed" reporting to the old 07 and the new 12 instance. After I was happy with the new 12 instance, I just removed the configs from the 07 agents and shut down the 07 management
    group.

  • WEBI Report Error After Adding 2 New Servers to BOE

    There were two new servers added to the existing BO enterprise application. Both these servers have the Web Intelligence job server and Web Intelligence report server services running on them. Eversince these servers have been added we have been encountering the following error
    Creation Time: 1/11/2009 11:40 PM

(Error: WIS 30270) BOException caught:RESULT=80004005;WHAT=RefreshBatch failed
    The job server mentioned in error message may not necessarily be job server created on the new servers. In the above example the server listed with the job server running on it has BOE installed on the C drive
    I do want to point out that when I turn off the job servers and report servers on the newly installed machines this problem goes away
    I am assuming that an old job server may assign a task the the new webi intelligence report server to execute a query and the problem shows up
    Am I possibly missing a setting in the WEB Intelligence report server?
    Is there something that can be done to fix the issue?
    We are currently at BOXIR2 SP3.6 which is installed on Windows 2000 Server with SP4
    Thank You
    Shariq

    Alan,
    I used remote desktop to access each of the servers and I am able connect to the oracle databases that the BOW accesses from both SQLPLUS as well as ODBC. I also opened up designer and was able to successfully connect to each of the universes
    I have placed the -trace option on the WEB Intelligence Report servers and going to try to find what kind of output this newly installed BOE software generates
    Can you think of anything else?
    Thank You

  • Snow leopard to Lion Upgrade on a brand new Macbook Pro

    My brand new macbook pro (bought september 2011) came with snow leopard installed. Am I really expected to buy a Lion upgrade for a brand new product?

    Not required.
    Some have upgraded and want desperately to reinstall SL.  Some are happy with the move.  Some are not completely happy but will live with it and adapt.
    Read here for the "new features" to see if the move is worth the risk to you http://www.apple.com/macosx/whats-new/features.html.
    Regardless, first thing you need to do is get a mac-formated drive and make a TimeMachine or CarbonCopyClone (download for free) backup.  The only common and provable issue with Lion upgrade is that those who do NOT make a backup regret not havng it when/if they reinstall SL.

    Hi, stig2013. 
    I would recommend the steps in the article below.  See the section labeled Verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed > For Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 > Update the Apple Mobile Device Driver.
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

    If you are receiving an error message, find the exact error number that you recieved in the article below and process the steps. 
    iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694
    This error occurs when the device unexpectedly loses its USB connection with iTunes. This can occur if you manually disconnect the device during the restore process. You can resolve this issue by using USB troubleshooting, using a different Dock Connector or Lightning Connector to USB cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.

  • Upgrade does not have new features

    On a new desktop I am building out, I installed Firefox. I noticed that on my current desktop, the large back button doesn't appear. It does appear on the the new machine.
    On Google, the new machine has Google telling me about the new interface. On the old machine, no change.
    Both machines are running Firefox 9.0.1
    The only difference is that the older machine had it installed through the upgrade process, where the new one was a clean install of the newer version.
    I've run Firefox Set-up (9.0.1) on the older machine and it didn't change it. All the settings I can find on Firefox and Google are the same.
    Somehow, not all the features of the new Firefox are getting installed during the upgrade.

    Hi,
    Please try this: right-click on the + after the last tab and '''Customize'''. Alternatively via '''View''' ('''Alt''' + '''V''') > '''Toolbars'''. If '''Use small icons is enabled''', the large back button will appear small. If the back button is missing you can look for it by moving the toolbars around with the '''Customize''' mini window open. You can also try to '''Restore Default Set''', which will hopefully restore the default settings back, but please note that this would also reset all manual changes/customizations and you would redo personal settings.

  • Migrating GW8 system to new servers

    Going to be moving a GW system, GW8.0.3, to from SuSE10 to SuSE11. System consists of 2 servers, I running primary and secondary domain with 2 post offices, 2 server runs secondary domain and gwia and webaccess. Their is a server in the dmz running webaccess agent with a purchase certificate. What I plan to do is just scp the data over to the new servers and reinstall and configure the agents on the new boxes. My question has to do with the server in the dmz. We plan to leave it as is, and I was told that all that was needed to do is reinstall the webaccess on the new box and copy the commgr.cfg from the new server to the location on the dmz server so it knows what to point too. No ip addresses are changing as well. Wanted to see if that sounds about right or if I am missing a step to get the webaccess server in the dmz to correctly still work after the migraiton.

    Little more info on issue. GroupWise 8 Webaccess application is running on web server in dmz. The agent runs on the SuSE10 server along with the secondary domain it is associated too. Moving the domain and to new SuSE11 server, so plan was to reinstall the webaccess agent on the new suse11 server and the new commgr.cfg file it creates, copy that to the existing web server and make sure rights are alike. Is there anything else that needs to be done? Just want to make sure I am not missing anything here.

  • Cloning Apps 11.5.10.2 to new servers

    I am in the process of migrating our setup to new servers in a completely different domain, etc. Never cloned before much less try to set to new servers.
    I have the DB cloned over and working properly. I then installed the infrastructure (It never asked about DB connection settings, not sure if it was supposed to yet)
    I have all the directories as detailed in doc 230672.1 moved over and expanded in the new appropriate locations.
    When I execute adcfgclone.pl appsTier I get the following:
    Enter the APPS password [APPS]:
    apps_pass
    First Creating a new context file for the cloned system.
    The program is going to ask you for information about the new system:
    ERROR: context creation not completed successfully.
    Please check /tmp/adcfgclone.err file for errors
    The adcfgclone.err file just contains

    At this point do I need to configure the dbc files to point to the new servers/ports etc, the instructions don't say that I do but I am at a loss. The /usr/bin/basename does not exist on the source server either so I assume it is looking for something else but I am not sure what. Did I skip a step when unpacking the files before running adcfgclone.pl?
    Thanks for the input

    Hi,
    I have the DB cloned over and working properly.
