A lot of people use the graphical way to upgrade Oracle software from one version to another. While there is nothing to say against that the same can be done without any graphical tools. This post outlines the steps to do so.<\/p>\n
Currently my cluster is running Grid Infrastructure 12.1.0.1 without any PSU applied. The node names are racp1vm1 and racp2vm2:<\/p>\n
\n[grid@racp1vm2 ~]$ \/u01\/app\/12.1.0\/grid_1_0\/bin\/crsctl query crs softwareversion\nOracle Clusterware version on node [racp1vm2] is [12.1.0.1.0]\n[grid@racp1vm2 ~]$ \/u01\/app\/12.1.0\/grid_1_0\/bin\/crsctl query crs activeversion\nOracle Clusterware active version on the cluster is [12.1.0.1.0]\n[grid@racp1vm2 ~]$ \/u01\/app\/12.1.0\/grid_1_0\/bin\/crsctl query crs softwareversion racp1vm2\nOracle Clusterware version on node [racp1vm2] is [12.1.0.1.0]\n<\/pre>\nObviously the first step is to copy the source files to all the nodes and to extract it:<\/p>\n
\n[grid@racp1vm1 ~]$ cd \/u01\/app\/oracle\/software\/\n[grid@racp1vm1 software]$ ls -la\ntotal 2337928\ndrwxr-xr-x. 2 grid oinstall 4096 Nov 5 15:14 .\ndrwxr-xr-x. 3 grid oinstall 4096 Nov 5 14:24 ..\n-rw-r--r--. 1 grid oinstall 1747043545 Nov 5 15:14 linuxamd64_12102_grid_1of2.zip\n-rw-r--r--. 1 grid oinstall 646972897 Nov 5 15:14 linuxamd64_12102_grid_2of2.zip\n[grid@racp1vm1 software]$ unzip linuxamd64_12102_grid_1of2.zip\n[grid@racp1vm1 software]$ unzip linuxamd64_12102_grid_2of2.zip\n[grid@racp1vm1 software]$ rm linuxamd64_12102_grid_1of2.zip linuxamd64_12102_grid_2of2.zip\n<\/pre>\nIt is necessary to create the path for new ORACLE_HOME before the installation as the \/u01\/app\/12.1.0 is locked (that is owned by root and not writable by oinstall which is the default Grid Infrastructure behavior):<\/p>\n
\n[root@racp1vm1 app] mkdir \/u01\/app\/12.1.0\/grid_2_0\n[root@racp1vm1 app] chown grid:oinstall \/u01\/app\/12.1.0\/grid_2_0\n[root@racp1vm1 app] ssh racp1vm2\nroot@racp1vm2's password: \nLast login: Thu Nov 5 14:52:57 2015 from racp1vm1\n[root@racp1vm2 ~] mkdir \/u01\/app\/12.1.0\/grid_2_0\n[root@racp1vm2 ~] chown grid:oinstall \/u01\/app\/12.1.0\/grid_2_0\n<\/pre>\nI’ll use my favorite method for installing the binaries only without doing any configuration:<\/p>\n
