Hi Suhas,
I just need your help in sharing 11gR2 Rac upgrade doc as we’ve a similar upgrade propose to carry out soon from 11gR1 ~ 11gR2.

Also,kindly clarify on following relevant to our environment.

We have an existing 2node 11gR1(11.1.0.6) running on solaris.I’ve gonethrough Oracle upgrade doc,it says 11gR2 requires a seperate installation
(outof place upgrade).

-Iam in the assumption with regards to the installaion,CRS may requires to cater additional IP resources (VIP & Private IP) other than SCAN as it’s already been setup.

Thanks.

Hi Dennys,

If you want to upgrade to 10g RAC to 11gR2 RAC then you need to need to Install Grid Infra and depending on whether you are using ASM or not u need to follow the steps.

IF you are not using RAC and ASM then need not to install Grid Infra.

If you using ASM only then also you need to install GRid Infra.

Just to check whether you are using ASM or not, get the list of datafiles,redologs and see where they are stored.
OR just do a ps -eaf | grep pmon and check whether you can see something like pmon_+ASM or not.

Regards,
Saurabh Sood

So far as CATALOG and CATPROC components are VALID and there are no INVALIDs under SYS, we are good ( as these are the main dictionary components )
Please check the DBUA trace file which could give more details like why DBUA was stuck while upgrading EM.

One thing is for sure that EM component is not upgraded completely. If this DB is EM repository database , then it would be better to open SR with Oracle to do a sanity check and get assistance to get EM upgraded.

While upgrading from oracle 10.2.0.5 to oracle 11.2.0.2 using DBUA, my upgrade is stuck at Enterprise Manager. After 24 hours also its not moved ahead, so I have killed the dbua process. I have logged on to the database and dba_registry is showing below output:

COMP_ID COMP_NAME VERSION STATUS STARTUP
—————————— —————————————- —————————— ———– ——–
CATALOG Oracle Database Catalog Views 11.2.0.2.0 VALID
CATPROC Oracle Database Packages and Types 11.2.0.2.0 VALID
EM Oracle Enterprise Manager 10.2.0.5.0 UPGRADING

How do I have to continue the upgrade from where it started.

Your help is highly appreciated.

Regards,
raju

I always say: RtFD
When using DBUA to upgrade a database, we have to start the upgrade from the NEW ORACLE_HOME. You dont need to set the env variable yet.
$ /bin/dbua&

Thank you very much for your reply.
what oracle_home do you need to set before start dbua –is it the newer 11g oracle_home?

By: Suhas D

Suhas D — Mon, 11 Apr 2011 01:04:14 +0000

@hope
The listener will be relocated during Clusterware upgrade (ASMCA). Password, init, tnsnames etc will also be reloacted to the new home.
DBUA will change oratab (we need to make sure an entry exists for each database to be upgraded before starting the upgrade process)

By: hope

hope — Mon, 11 Apr 2011 00:06:39 +0000

you didn’t talk about listener. do you need to install the software and create a new listener for the old database before startup dbua?
i guess you don’t need to modify /etc/oratab since the dbua will modify it for you when upgrade is done, right?
