Upgrading ASM

Just wondering I'm upgrading my database from 10.2.0.1 to 10.2.0.3. My ASM is in a different Oracle Home. Do I need to run the upgrade process on both homes in order for it to upgrade? I know it sounds like a dumb question, but I just want to make sure there isn't a different patchset for just ASM installs.
Thanks
Luke

You should check the Oracle Patchset README file. You need to run DBUA for both ORACLE_HOME and instances.

  • Upgrade ASM instance database 10g to 11g

    Hi,
    In my environment, I have ASM instance database 10.2.0.3 running on solaris 10 (64-bit), I need to upgrade to ASM instance 11.1.0.6 database. please guide me an overview of steps...
    thanks in advance

    Thanks for the response,
    Sorry, In my environment I know database (10.2.0.3) is mounted in ASM diskgroups, now i have a concern
    1) If database is mounted in ASM diskgroups, could it be a database instance or it has to be only ASM instance connected to the database?
    2) As in my upgrade from ASM instance (10.2.0.3) to ASM instance (11.1.0.6), do we need to upgrade asm instance as well as database? i mean to invoke DBUA twice for upgrading ASM instance then for upgrading database as well?
    Sorry for some silly questions...please make me clear...
    Regards

  • 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.

  • Upgrade ASM alone from 11.2.0.3 to 11.2.0.4 without RAC

    Hi Viewers,
    Can anyone provide me a steps to upgrade ASM instance from 11.2.0.3 to 11.2.0.4 and RAC is not configured.
    Please share the steps or document to upgrade ASM instance in Linux.
    Thanks,
    Anil

    When you download the patchset, it include documentation about how to perform the upgrade.
    In Metalink there are several notes, I thin this is interesting, Doc ID 1434351.1

  • Upgrade ASM to Grid Infrastructure failed with INS-20802

    Hello,
    I'm trying to update an ASM 10g to Grid infrastructure.
    Actually I have a DB wich run with ASM both on 10.2.0.4 on a Windows 2008 R2 server 64 bits.
    And try to upgrade with the 11gR2 Grid Infrastructure.
    Both the ASM instance and DB are stopped, ans i also try with the listener stop and even without listener.

  • ASM UPGRADE

    Hi,
    I have some doubt in ASM Upgrade and thats what I would like to discuss this issue here.If I am going to upgrade database,clusterware and asm then the approach should be like below:-->
    Database version from 10.1.0.5 to 10.2.0.4
    OS AIX 5.3 TL8
    (1)install new crs_home clusterware 10.2.0.4
    (2)upgrade database to 10.2.0.4 from 10.1.0.5 by installing new Oracle_home
    (3) Upgrade ASM from 10.1.0.5 to 10.2.0.4 by installing separate oracle_home.
    Here I have doubt in upgrading asm from old to new version.Does it going to affect datafile during asm instance upgrade.If not then what is the method to upgarde asm in such a environment.
    Please help me out on this topic.
    Thanks in advance!
    Mk

    Hello Mk,
    Take a look on Metalink note 730365.1 (Oracle Database Upgrade Path Reference List) and read the patchset documentation.
    You must upgrade ASM before upgrade the database. Then I think the correct order would be (1,3,2) on your case.
    Also there are a howto on http://mufalani.blogspot.com/2009/06/applying-10204-patch-on-rac-systems.html
    Cheers,

  • Upgrading clusterware and RAC database including ASM

    Hi All,
    I have a 3 node RAC database with ASM running on RHEL4(32bit). current version is 10.2.0.1. I want to upgrade clusterware, database and ASM to 10.2.0.4.
    Please let me know the patch number for this upgradation.
    At the time of googling i found that 1st we have to upgrade 10.2.0.1 to 10.2.0.3 then we can upgrade it to 10.2.0.4. Is it true?
    Thanks

    You are absolutely correct. Database should be upgraded at last. I may be wrong regarding upgrading of ASM. but what my thought is saying it should be upgraded or it may upgrade when we will upgrade our database. So please think little bit on it. ASM has its own instance. we are upgrading clusterware and database. why we are not upgrading our ASM. Then what should be the method to upgrade ASM.
    Please correct me in i am wrong.
    With Regards,

    Hi Rajeys,
    I read all the documents but i was not able to find the information that i was looking. Below i am providing my cluster node configuration and version -
    1) No of Node in cluster - 2 (node1 ,node2)
    2) OCR (clusterware) version - 10.2.0.4
    3) Storage type - NAS storage (we are not using ASM).
    Now link provided by you is to upgrade ASM from 10.2.0.3 to 11GR2 but we are not using ASM as storage we are using NAS storage. Do we have any link or document that help me to upgrade oracle clusterware only without ASM from version 10.2.0.4 to 11.2.0.2 .

    Hm ... please have a look into ML-Note:337737.1 (I'm just mentioning the combinations with an 11g database) - I noticed that you don't have a RAC installation but nevertheless you'll have CSS running for your ASM instance.
    CRS........ASM............DB......Certified
    11.1_____11.1_____11.1_____Y
    11.1.____10.2______11.1_____Y
    11.1_____10.1.0.3__11.1_____Y
    So upgrading the ASM instance first should solve this issue. Upgrading ASM means: you'll shutdown your database running in ASM and upgrade the ASM instance with the DBUA. It'll take just a few minutes because there's no data dictionary in ASM.
    Kind regards

  • 11g R2 Grid Infrastructure asmca cannot detect 11g R1 ASM instance

    I am playing with 11g ASM with XEN (one node on host (or dom0) and another node on vm (or dom1)) and was trying to do a Clusterware + ASM upgrade from 11.0.6 to 11.2.0.

    SQL> Tried different combinations of ORACLE_HOME (11g R1 db home, grid infrastructure home, 11g R1 clusterware home) and ORACLE_SID (+ASM, +ASM1), but asmca still cannot connect to ASM instance.
    Some documents mentioned to configure 'Oracle Restart' and the ASM instance name is +ASM. Are these necessary requirements? If so, where can I find information on Oracle Restart and how to rename the ASM instance? Besides, the documents said it is recommanded to upgrade with OUI, but I've already installed the software, can I still use OUI?

    Hi Thtsang,
    sorry for not coming back to you earlier and thanks for "the helpful".
    So, are you saying that after you have removed all the environment variables, you still got the error message "ORA-01034: ORACLE not available"? I thought you got an "ASM upgrade failed", because ASM was down at the time of the upgrade, which you then corrected saying: "In fact, ASM instance was started from Grid Infrastructure home.". Overall, I need to say that I am a bit confused to be honest.
    The alert log entry sounds promising, although, one would need to see more context. For: "But when I use crsctl / srvctl to start ASM, it is still running in 11g R1 Oracle Home." So, something went wrong with the update. For: "BTW, if asmca does not work for me, can I upgrade manually?" - ASMCA is the tool that will perform an ASM upgrade. You can call it interactively, but you will have to use it.
    Support note ID 950200.1 - "ASM 11gR2: How To Upgrade An ASM Instance To Release 11gR2 (11.2.0.1.0)?" describes an ASM upgrade to 11.2. Maybe this note can help you and if it is only to analyze what stage your cluster is in right now. It sounds like, this would be first thing that we need to find out.
    Good luck. Thanks,
    Markus
