Grid Infrastructure 11.2.0.4 to 12.1.0.2.0 Upgrade for 2 Node RAC

STEP 1: Back Up the Oracle Software Before Upgrades and check the current cluster details

·         Backup your GRID and DB binaries .

Before starting the Upgrade check & spool the existing status for GRID and RDBMS :

crsctl stat res -t | tee /tmp/crsctl_bef_patch.txt <= Is anything other than gsd OFFLINE ?
crsctl query crs activeversion | tee /tmp/crsversion_bef_patch.txt
crsctl query crs softwareversion
crsctl stat res -p | tee /tmp/crs_stat_p_bef_patch.txt
crsctl query css votedisk | tee /tmp/qry_css_bef_patch.txt
ocrcheck | tee /tmp/ocrchk_bef_patch.txt
crsctl check cluster -all
srvctl status database -d orcl
srvctl config database -d orcl

Create Directory Structure for 12c Grid infrastructure

11g Details :

ORACLE_BASE=/data01/app/grid
ORACLE_HOME = /data01/app/11.2.0/grid_11204

New Oracle_HOME for Grid 12c on all cluster nodes :

ORACLE_BASE=/data01/app/grid
ORACLE_HOME = /data01/app/12C/grid_121020
cd /data01/app/
mkdir -p /data01/app/12C/grid_121020
chown -R grid:oinstall 12C/
chmod -R 775 12C/

About Oracle Grid Infrastructure and Oracle ASM Upgrade and Downgrade
You can upgrade in rolling / Non-Rolling mode . We will follow Rolling mode . Rolling Upgrade involves upgrading individual nodes without stopping Oracle Grid Infrastructure on other nodes in the cluster
All upgrades are out-of-place upgrades, meaning that the software binaries are placed in a different Grid home from the Grid home used for the prior release.

Restrictions and Guidelines for Oracle Grid Infrastructure Upgrades

When you upgrade from Oracle Grid Infrastructure 11g or Oracle Clusterware and Oracle ASM 10g releases to Oracle Grid Infrastructure 12cRelease 1 (12.1), you upgrade to a standard cluster configuration. You can enable Oracle Flex Cluster configuration after the upgrade.
If the Oracle Cluster Registry (OCR) and voting file locations for your current installation are on raw or block devices, then you must migrate them to Oracle ASM disk groups or shared file systems before upgrading to Oracle Grid Infrastructure 12c. How to Upgrade to 12c Grid Infrastructure if OCR or Voting File is on Raw/Block Device (Doc ID 1572925.1)
If you want to upgrade Oracle Grid Infrastructure releases before Oracle Grid Infrastructure 11g Release 2 (11.2), where the OCR and voting files are on raw or block devices, and you want to migrate these files to Oracle ASM rather than to a shared file system, then you must upgrade to Oracle Grid Infrastructure 11g Release 2 (11.2) before you upgrade to Oracle Grid Infrastructure 12c.
To upgrade existing Oracle Clusterware installations to a standard configuration Oracle Grid Infrastructure 12c cluster, your release must be greater than or equal to Oracle Clusterware 10g Release 1 (10.1.0.5), Oracle Clusterware 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.3), Oracle Grid Infrastructure 11gRelease 1 (11.1.0.6), or Oracle Grid Infrastructure 11g Release 2 (11.2).
To upgrade existing Oracle Grid Infrastructure installations from Oracle Grid Infrastructure 11g Release 2 (11.2.0.2) to a later release, you must apply patch 11.2.0.2.3 (11.2.0.2 PSU 3) or later.
Do not delete directories in the Grid home. For example, do not delete the directory Grid_home/Opatch. If you delete the directory, then the Grid infrastructure installation owner cannot use OPatch to patch the grid home, and OPatch displays the error message "'checkdir' error: cannot createGrid_home/OPatch".
To upgrade existing Oracle Grid Infrastructure installations to Oracle Grid Infrastructure 12c Release 1 (12.1), you must first verify if you need to apply any mandatory patches for upgrade to succeed. We will use CVU to check this below .
Oracle Clusterware and Oracle ASM upgrades are always out-of-place upgrades. You cannot perform an in-place upgrade of Oracle Clusterware and Oracle ASM to existing homes.
If the existing Oracle Clusterware home is a shared home, note that you can use a non-shared home for the Oracle Grid Infrastructure for a cluster home for Oracle Clusterware and Oracle ASM 12c Release 1 (12.1).
The same user that owned the earlier release Oracle Grid Infrastructure software must perform the Oracle Grid Infrastructure 12c Release 1 (12.1) upgrade. Before Oracle Database 11g, either all Oracle software installations were owned by the Oracle user, typically oracle, or Oracle Database software was owned by oracle, and Oracle Clusterware software was owned by a separate user, typically crs.
Oracle ASM and Oracle Clusterware both run in the Oracle Grid Infrastructure home.
During a major release upgrade to Oracle Grid Infrastructure 12c Release 1 (12.1), the software in the 12c Release 1 (12.1) Oracle Grid Infrastructure home is not fully functional until the upgrade is completed. Running srvctl, crsctl, and other commands from the new Grid homes are not supported until the final rootupgrade.sh script is run and the upgrade is complete across all nodes.
To manage databases in existing earlier release database homes during the Oracle Grid Infrastructure upgrade, use the srvctl from the existing database homes.
You can perform upgrades on a shared Oracle Clusterware home.
During Oracle Clusterware installation, if there is a single instance Oracle ASM release on the local node, then it is converted to a clustered Oracle ASM 12c Release 1 (12.1) installation, and Oracle ASM runs in the Oracle Grid Infrastructure home on all nodes.
If a single instance (non-clustered) Oracle ASM installation is on a remote node, which is a node other than the local node (the node on which the Oracle Grid Infrastructure installation is being performed), then it will remain a single instance Oracle ASM installation. However, during installation, if you select to place the Oracle Cluster Registry (OCR) and voting files on Oracle ASM, then a clustered Oracle ASM installation is created on all nodes in the cluster, and the single instance Oracle ASM installation on the remote node will become nonfunctional.
After completing the force upgrade of a cluster to a release, all inaccessible nodes must be deleted from the cluster or joined to the cluster before starting the cluster upgrade to a later release.

For each node, use Cluster Verification Utility to ensure that you have completed preinstallation steps. It can generate Fixup scripts to help you to prepare servers. In addition, the installer will help you to ensure all required prerequisites are met.

Unset Oracle Environment Variables
Known Issue :Environment Variable ORA_CRS_HOME MUST be UNSET in 11gR2/12c GI (Doc ID 1502996.1)

For the installation owner running the installation, if you have environment variables set for the existing installation, then unset the environment variables $ORACLE_HOME and $ORACLE_SID, as these environment variables are used during upgrade. For example:

unset ORACLE_HOME
unset ORACLE_BASE
unset ORACLE_SID
unset ORA_CRS_HOME

If you have set ORA_CRS_HOME as an environment variable, following instructions from Oracle Support, then unset it before starting an installation or upgrade. You should never use ORA_CRS_HOME as an environment variable except under explicit direction from Oracle Support.
Check to ensure that installation owner login shell profiles (for example, .profile or .cshrc) do not have ORA_CRS_HOME set.
If you have had an existing installation on your system, and you are using the same user account to install this installation, then unset the following environment variables: ORA_CRS_HOME; ORACLE_HOME; ORA_NLS10; TNS_ADMIN; and any other environment variable set for the Oracle installation user that is connected with Oracle software homes.
Also, ensure that the $ORACLE_HOME/bin path is removed from your PATH environment variable.

Check for some known issues :

5) go to the patch director

    Ensure that the $PATH definition has the following executables: make, ar, ld, and nm.

    The location of these executables depends on your operating system. On many operating systems, they are located in /usr/ccs/bin, in which case you can set your PATH definition as follows:

    export PATH=$PATH:/usr/ccs/bin

Determine whether any currently installed one-off patches conflict with the PSU patch as follows:

============

    Log in to the system as the owner of the Oracle Database 11g Release 2 (11.2) Oracle home directory.
    Copy the Pre-Upgrade Information Tool (utlu112i.sql) and utltzuv2.sql from the Oracle Database 11g Release 2 (11.2) ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin directory to a directory outside of the Oracle home, such as the temporary directory on your system.

$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/utlu112i.sql

2. Execute Pre Upgrade Script:

Should be change to the directory where utlu112i.sql had been copied in the previous step.    Start SQL*Plus and connect to the database instance as a user with SYSDBA privileges. Then run and spool the utlu112i.sql file. Please note that the database should be started using the Source Oracle Home.

$ sqlplus '/ as sysdba'
SQL> spool upgrade_info.log
SQL> @utlu112i.sql
SQL> spool off
SQL>

or

Execute utlu112i.sql script from the new 11gR2 (11.2.0.2) Home:

SQL>spool preupgradeinfo.txt
SQL > @<New 11gR2ORACLE_HOME>\rdbms\admin\utlu112i.sql
SQL > spool off
SQL > exit

Review preupgradeinfo.txt and fix the warnings from the output.
Review /tmp/upgrade.spl and fix the warnings from the output.
or

STEP 3
======
After installing the latest 11.2 RDBMS software, start the 11.2.0.1 instance with the previous ORACLE_HOME and spool/run 11.2.0.2 $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/utlu112i.sql script against the running, previous instance.

Running the Pre-Upgrade Information Tool is mandatory whether you are upgrading with DBUA or manually. Otherwise you can expect to encounter the error:

12. Upgrade Database:

At the operating system prompt, change to the $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin directory of 11gR2 Oracle Home.(with new ORACLE_HOME

$ cd $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin
$ sqlplus "/ as sysdba"
SQL> startup UPGRADE

startup upgrade pfile='/oracle/product/TestDB1/11.2.0.1/dbs/initTestDB1.ora'

Set the system to spool results to a log file for later verification after the upgrade is completed and start the upgrade script.

These measures are an important final step to ensure the integrity and consistency of the newly upgraded Oracle Database software. Also, if you encountered a message listing obsolete initialization parameters when you started the database for upgrade, then remove the obsolete initialization parameters from the parameter file before restarting. If necessary, convert the SPFILE to a PFILE so you can edit the file to delete parameters.

3.3.2 Loading Modified SQL Files into the Database

The following steps load modified SQL files into the database. For an Oracle RAC environment, perform these steps on only one node.

    For each database instance running on the Oracle home being patched, connect to the database using SQL*Plus. Connect as SYSDBA and run the catbundle.sql script as follows:

    cd $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin
    sqlplus /nolog
    SQL> CONNECT / AS SYSDBA
    SQL> STARTUP
    SQL> @catbundle.sql psu apply
    SQL> QUIT

    The catbundle.sql execution is reflected in the dba_registry_history view by a row associated with bundle series PSU.

    For information about the catbundle.sql script, see My Oracle Support Document 605795.1 Introduction to Oracle Database catbundle.sql.

    Check the following log files in $ORACLE_HOME/cfgtoollogs/catbundle or $ORACLE_BASE/cfgtoollogs/catbundle for any errors:

    catbundle_PSU_<database SID>_APPLY_<TIMESTAMP>.log
    catbundle_PSU_<database SID>_GENERATE_<TIMESTAMP>.log

    where TIMESTAMP is of the form YYYYMMMDD_HH_MM_SS. If there are errors,

-- start the database with new home
   delete the old link for spfil ,password file and create it in new home

SQL> SPOOL off
SQL> SET echo off
Check the following log file for errors:
/oracle/cfgtoollogs/catbundle/catbundle_PSU_DPCPPT_APPLY_2015Jan05_17_51_04.log
SQL>
SQL>
SQL> @$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/utlrp.sql

TIMESTAMP
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
COMP_TIMESTAMP UTLRP_BGN 2015-01-05 17:52:12

Verfification
-------------------
1)
$ cd $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin
$ sqlplus "/ as sysdba"
SQL> @utlrp.sql

@$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/utlrp.sql

2) change the oratab entry after taking backup
3) update the listerner entry with latest oracle_home
4) run that full database stat.
5) check the remotely connectivity and to which user database has been started .and send mail to customer with screenshot.

Take a list of INVALID objects in the database after upgrade:

SQL> spool invalid_obj_after_DBupgradeto11202.log;
SQL> select * from v$instance;
SQL> select sysdate from dual;
SQL> select owner,object_name,status from dba_objects where status ='INVALID';
SQL> spool off;

Compare the invalid objects list with the one taken at section 1.1, step 6 before upgrade and verify that there are no new invalid objects after applying the patch.

Execute the command.
ps –ef | grep ora_| grep CNTLNTQ1
SQL> EXEC DBMS_STATS.GATHER_DICTIONARY_STATS;

-----------------------

Prechecks :
perform flashcopy/backp of the db
Space on mount points, tablespace level.
Check for invalid components
Check for stale schema stats (using check_schema_stale_stats.sql )
Run pre upgrade tool (utlu112i_11204_009.sql)

2) Change the oratab entry

3) un-tar the oracle home tar file and Clone new Oracle home

4) create soft links and start db in upgrade mode

5) Run the catupgrd.sql script to do the upgrade

6) perform post db activities

Verification Steps :

a)Check the inventory to list out the latest patches

Cloning an Oracle Home

You may wish to clone an Oracle Home, for example you have all your databases on a single Oracle Home but you want to separate Development from Test.
This could be so you can soak test Patch Set Updates (PSU) on Development before applying to Test and then Production.
Or you might wish to have 2 Oracle Homes, so you can patch one and then switch all databases to the patched Oracle Home for minimal downtime.

Copying the Oracle Home

First you need to copy the Oracle Home at file level using cp as user root as shown below:

[root@v1ex2dbadm01 ~]# cp -Rp /u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0.2/dbhome_1 /u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0.2/dbhome_2

Then check the Oracle Home and the Cloned Oracle Home are the same size:

[root@v1ex2dbadm01 ~]# du -h /u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0.2/dbhome_1 --max-depth=0
12G /u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0.2/dbhome_1
[root@v1ex2dbadm01 ~]# du -h /u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0.2/dbhome_2 --max-depth=0
12G /u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0.2/dbhome_2

Then repeat on all the other nodes:

[root@v1ex2dbadm02 ~]# cp -Rp /u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0.2/dbhome_1 /u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0.2/dbhome_2
[root@v1ex2dbadm02 ~]# du -h /u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0.2/dbhome_1 --max-depth=0
12G /u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0.2/dbhome_1
[root@v1ex2dbadm02 ~]# du -h /u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0.2/dbhome_2 --max-depth=0
12G /u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0.2/dbhome_2

Cloning the Oracle Home

Now we have a copy of the Oracle Home, we next need to clone using the clone.pl perl script as shown below:

/usr/bin/perl $ORACLE_HOME/clone/bin/clone.pl \
'-O"CLUSTER_NODES={v1ex2dbadm01,v1ex2dbadm02}"' \
'-O"LOCAL_NODE=v1ex2dbadm01"' ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle \
ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_HOME ORACLE_HOME_NAME=OraDB12Home2 '-O-noConfig'

CLUSTER_NODES = all the nodes in the cluster
LOCAL_NODE = The node you are running the command on
ORACLE_BASE = The Oracle Base defined on the Server
ORACLE_HOME = The Cloned Oracle Home, already exported
ORACLE_HOME_NAME = The name you wish to give to the Cloned Oracle Home

[root@v1ex2dbadm01 ~]# su - oracle
[oracle@v1ex2dbadm01 ~]$ export ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0.2/dbhome_2
[oracle@v1ex2dbadm01 ~]$ /usr/bin/perl $ORACLE_HOME/clone/bin/clone.pl \
> '-O"CLUSTER_NODES={v1ex2dbadm01,v1ex2dbadm02}"' \

./runInstaller -clone -waitForCompletion "CLUSTER_NODES={v1ex2dbadm01,v1ex2dbadm02}" "LOCAL_NODE=v1ex2dbadm01" "ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle" "ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0.2/dbhome_2" "ORACLE_HOME_NAME=OraDB12Home2" -noConfig -silent -paramFile /u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0.2/dbhome_2/clone/clone_oraparam.ini

Next check the re-linking is RDS not UDP:

[oracle@v1ex2dbadm01 ~]$ /u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0.2/dbhome_2/bin/skgxpinfo
rds
[oracle@v1ex2dbadm01 ~]$

If UDP is set (the output is udp instead of rds as shown above), then relink using command below:

cd $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib; ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_HOME make -f ins_rdbms.mk ipc_rds ioracle

Then repeat on all the other nodes, remember to change LOCAL_NODE:

[root@v1ex2dbadm02 ~]# su - oracle
[oracle@v1ex2dbadm02 ~]$ export ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0.2/dbhome_2

Execute /u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0.2/dbhome_2/root.sh on the following nodes:
[v1ex2dbadm02]

.................................................. 100% Done.

[oracle@v1ex2dbadm02 ~]$ /u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0.2/dbhome_2/bin/skgxpinfo
rds
[oracle@v1ex2dbadm02 ~]$

Next you need to run root.sh as shown below:

[oracle@v1ex2dbadm01 ~]$ exit
logout
[root@v1ex2dbadm01 ~]# /u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0.2/dbhome_2/root.sh
Check /u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0.2/dbhome_2/install/root_v1ex2dbadm01.v1.com_2017-06-21_15-04-16.log for the output of root script
[root@v1ex2dbadm01 ~]#

Then repeat on all the other nodes:

[oracle@v1ex2dbadm02 ~]$ exit
logout
[root@v1ex2dbadm02 ~]# /u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0.2/dbhome_2/root.sh
Check /u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0.2/dbhome_2/install/root_v1ex2dbadm02.v1.com_2017-06-21_15-06-49.log for the output of root script
[root@v1ex2dbadm02 ~]#

Verify that the Cloned Oracle Home comprises of all the nodes in the cluster:

[root@v1ex2dbadm01 ~]# su - oracle
[oracle@v1ex2dbadm01 ~]$ export ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0.2/dbhome_2
[oracle@v1ex2dbadm01 ~]$ $ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/opatch lsinventory -oh $ORACLE_HOME | grep node
Rac system comprising of multiple nodes
Local node = v1ex2dbadm01
Remote node = v1ex2dbadm02
[oracle@v1ex2dbadm01 ~]$

Then repeat on all the other nodes:

[root@v1ex2dbadm02 ~]# su - oracle
[oracle@v1ex2dbadm02 ~]$ export ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0.2/dbhome_2
[oracle@v1ex2dbadm02 ~]$ $ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/opatch lsinventory -oh $ORACLE_HOME | grep node
Rac system comprising of multiple nodes
Local node = v1ex2dbadm02
Remote node = v1ex2dbadm01
[oracle@v1ex2dbadm02 ~]$

Switching Databases to Cloned Oracle Home

Change the Oracle Home using server control:

[oracle@v1ex2dbadm01 ~]$ srvctl config database -d V1DEV -a
Database unique name: V1DEV
Database name:
Oracle home: /u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0.2/dbhome_1
Oracle user: oracle
Spfile: +DATAC1/V1DEV/PARAMETERFILE/spfileV1DEV.ora
Password file:

Stop options: immediate
Database role: PRIMARY
Management policy: AUTOMATIC
Server pools:
Disk Groups: DATAC1,RECOC1

[oracle@v1ex2dbadm01 ~]$ srvctl modify database -d V1DEV -o /u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0.2/dbhome_2
[oracle@v1ex2dbadm01 ~]$ srvctl config database -d V1DEV -a
Database unique name: V1DEV
Database name:

[oracle@v1ex2dbadm01 ~]$

Next change /etc/oratab to reflect the new Oracle Home:

[oracle@v1ex2dbadm01 ~]$ vi /etc/oratab
[oracle@v1ex2dbadm01 ~]$ more /etc/oratab | grep dbhome_2
V1DEV1:/u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0.2/dbhome_2:N # line added by Agent

Then repeat on all the other nodes:

[oracle@v1ex2dbadm02 ~]$ vi /etc/oratab
[oracle@v1ex2dbadm02 ~]$ more /etc/oratab | grep dbhome_2
V1DEV2:/u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0.2/dbhome_2:N # line added by Agent

Now we rolling bounce the database:

[oracle@v1ex2dbadm01 ~]$ srvctl status database -d V1DEV -v
Instance V1DEV1 is running on node v1ex2dbadm01. Instance status: Open,Running from Old Oracle Home.
Instance V1DEV2 is running on node v1ex2dbadm02 with online services v1jobservice. Instance status: Open,Running from Old Oracle Home.
[oracle@v1ex2dbadm01 ~]$ srvctl stop instance -d V1DEV -i V1DEV1 -f
[oracle@v1ex2dbadm01 ~]$ srvctl start instance -d V1DEV -i V1DEV1
[oracle@v1ex2dbadm01 ~]$ srvctl stop instance -d V1DEV -i V1DEV2 -f
[oracle@v1ex2dbadm01 ~]$ srvctl start instance -d V1DEV -i V1DEV2
[oracle@v1ex2dbadm01 ~]$ srvctl status database -d V1DEV -v
Instance V1DEV1 is running on node v1ex2dbadm01. Instance status: Open.
Instance V1DEV2 is running on node v1ex2dbadm02 with online services v1jobservice. Instance status: Open.
[oracle@v1ex2dbadm01 ~]$
