DB Dummy|Sharing Experience on Oracle & Informix Databases …

(1) Shutdown DB, DBconsole (if any), Cluster, ASMlib (if any in Linux)

As RDBMS owner id “oracle”:
$ srvctl stop database -d -o immediate #– run once in any node
$ emctl stop dbconsole #– run on all nodes

As UNIX/Linux “root”:
# /bin/crsctl stop crs #– run on all nodes
# /bin/crsctl disable crs #– run on all nodes
# /etc/init.d/oracleasm stop #– run on all nodes
# /etc/init.d/oracleasm disable #– run on all nodes

(2) Backup filesystem for GI ORACLE_HOME & RDBMS ORACLE_HOME

(3) O/S upgrade

(4) Upgrade ASMlib (if any in Linux, run on all nodes)
# rpm -Uvh oracleasm-support-xxx
# rpm -Uvh oracleasm-2.6.xxx
# rpm -Uvh oracleasmlib-xxx
# /etc/init.d/oracleasm enable
# /etc/init.d/oracleasm lisdisks

(5) Relink RDBMS ORACLE_HOME Binary
Note: complete full steps in onde node, then proceed to next

As RDBMS owner id “oracle”:
$ /bin/relink all

(6) Relink GI ORACLE_HOME Binary
Note: complete full steps in onde node, then proceed to next

As UNIX/Linux “root”:
# cd /crs/install
# ./rootcrs.pl -unlock

As RDBMS owner id “oracle”:
$ cd /bin
$ ./relink all

As UNIX/Linux “root”:
# cd /rdbms/install
# ./rootadd_rdbms.sh
# cd /crs/install
# ./rootcrs.pl -patch

(7) Enable CRS auto-startup and start CRS on all nodes
Note: complete full steps in onde node, then proceed to next

As UNIX/Linux “root”:
# /bin/crsctl start crs
# /bin/crsctl enable crs

(8) Double check if DB, instances and all resrouces are ONLINE.

As RDBMS owner id “oracle”:
$ crsctl stat res -t

Gentle reminder:
Please read the following known bug before you plan for relinking Grid Infra 11.2.0.3.

Before start oracle RAC 11.1.0.6.0 installation on AIX 6.1 platform, you are require to install JDK to fix the Bug 9216848.

During the installation, on the “Select Installation Type”, pick the “Minimum” ratio button.

After JDK installed, you can continue to install oracle clusterware software and oracle rdbms software.
