Upgrading Oracle RAC from 10.0.2.3 to 10.0.2.4 on HP-UX

Hi all,
I have to apply 10.0.2.4 patch to Oracle RAC that running on HP-UX system. I'm inexperienced with this subject. What is your suggestions and recommendations about this? Can you share the your own roadmap and your experience?
Regards,
Alper.

Hi Alper,
a good starting point for upgrades are the Oracle Upgrade Companions for 10gR2 and 11g - they cover best practices and behaviour changes:
Note.466181.1- 10g Upgrade Companion
Note.601807.1 - Oracle 11g Upgrade Companion
Kind regards

So for anyone else that stumbles across this posting. I had exactly the same issue. The problem for me was that there was a file in */tmp* called *.oracle_master_diskmon* with the wrong permissions. Removing this file allowed crs and more specifically $ORACLE_HOME/diskmon.bin to start correctly.
$ ls -ltr /tmp/.ora*
srwxr-xr-x 1 oracle oinstall 0 Dec 8 15:45 /tmp/.oracle_master_diskmon
No group write permissions on the file.
Hope this helps someone else save 8 hours digging around in the dark.

Could anyone please provide the steps to upgrade Oracle Database EE from 11.2.0.3.8 to 11.2.0.4.0.

You will need to install 11.2.0.4 into a new ORACLE_HOME, apply the latest 11.2.0.4 PSU patch to the new ORACLE_HOME (see MOS Doc 1454618.1) and then follow the steps in the Upgrade Guide

Hello,
The errors you are receiving are typically a result of not following our published MOS note and our documentation. It’s important in order for Oracle E-Business Suite systems to be properly recognized by E-Business Suite Plug-in, AutoConfig must be enabled and updated on all nodes. You should prevalidate your system before the running discovery to help ensure success of the discovery process. These tests check that context files, context variables, users, and components are set up correctly in the system for successful discovery.
For more information on both topics refer to:
•     Getting Started with Oracle Application Management Pack (AMP) for Oracle E-Business Suite, Release 12.1.0.1 (Doc ID 1434392.1)
•     Oracle Application Management Pack for Oracle E-Business Suite Guide Release 12.1.0.1.0 Part No. E28715-03 October
If you are still experiencing errors after reviewing our documentation and taking the appropriate steps to prevalidate your system consider filing a Service Request with Support.
