Upgrade 10gR2 RAC to 11gR2 RAC on Oracle Enterprise Linux 5
This tutorial the step by step of upgrading database from 10gR2 RAC to 11gR2 RAC. I have chosen the below upgrade path which will allow me to upgrade 10gR2 Clusterware and ASM to 11gR2 Grid infrastructure. In this upgrade Path, the original 10gR2 CRS installation was made hidden as if there is no CRS existed. Then, the fresh installation of 11gR2 Grid Infrastructure was taken place and 10gR2 ASM diskgroups were moved and mounted using the new 11gR2 Grid HOME. At this stage, the original 10gR2 RAC database was managed by 11gR2 Grid HOME. At the end, the 11gR2 RAC database home was installed and the original 10gR2 RAC database was upgraded to 11gR2 RAC manually.

HERE’s an existing 10gR2 RAC Setup in detail
The Upgrade Process is composed of below Stages:
· Pre-Upgrade Tasks
· Hide the 10gR2 Clusterware installation.
· Install 11gR2 Grid Infrastructure.
· Move 10gR2 ASM Diskgroups to 11gR2 Grid Infrastructure.
· Register10gR2 RAC database and services to 11gR2 Grid Infrastructure.
· Install 11gR2 RAC for database home.
· Manually upgrade original 10gR2 RAC database to 11gR2 RAC.
Pre-Upgrade tasks:
· Install/Upgrade RPMs required for 11gR2 RAC Installation
· Add SCAN VIPs to the DNS
· Setup of Network Time Protocol
· Start the nscd on all the RAC nodes
· Create 3 ASM Disks for 11gR2 OCR and Voting Disks.
· Backing up 10gR2 existing HOMEs and database
Minimum Required RPMs for 11gR2 RAC on OEL 5.5 (All the 3 RAC Nodes):
Below command verifies whether the specified rpms are installed or not. Any missing rpms can be installed from the OEL Media Pack
rpm -q binutils compat-libstdc++-33 elfutils-libelf elfutils-libelf-devel elfutils-libelf-devel-static \
gcc gcc-c++ glibc glibc-common glibc-devel glibc-headers kernel-headers ksh libaio libaio-devel \
libgcc libgomp libstdc++ libstdc++-devel make numactl-devel sysstat unixODBC unixODBC-devel
I had to install below RPM.
numactl-devel à Located on the 3rd CD of OEL 5.5 Media pack.
[root@node1 ~]# rpm -ivh numactl-devel-0.9.8-11.el5.i386.rpm
warning: numactl-devel-0.9.8-11.el5.i386.rpm: Header V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID 1e5e0159
Preparing... ########################################### [100%]
1:numactl-devel ########################################### [100%]
[root@node1 ~]#
I had to upgrade the cvuqdisk RPM by removing and installing the same with higher version. This step is also taken care by rootupgrade.sh script.
cvuqdisk à Available on Grid Infrastructure Media (under rpm folder)
rpm -e cvuqdisk
export CVUQDISK_GRP=oinstall
echo $CVUQDISK_GRP
rpm -ivh cvuqdisk-1.0.7-1.rpm
Add SCAN VIPs to DNS:
SCAN VIPS to configure in DNS which resolves to lab-scan.hingu.net:
192.168.2.151
192.168.2.152
192.168.2.153
HERE is the existing DNS setup. In that setup, the below two files were modified with the entry in RED to add these SCAN VIPs into the DNS.
/var/named/chroot/var/named/hingu.net.zone

Restart the DNS Service (named):
service named restart
NOTE: nslookup for lab-scan should return names in random order every time.
Network Time Protocol Setting (On all the RAC Nodes):
Oracle Time Synchronization Service is chosen to be used over the Linux system provided ntpd. So, ntpd needs to be deactivated and deinstalled to avoid any possibility of it being conflicted with the Oracle’s Cluster Time Sync Service (ctss).
# /sbin/service ntpd stop
# chkconfig ntpd off
# mv /etc/ntp.conf /etc/ntp.conf.org
Also remove the following file:
/var/run/ntpd.pid
Network Service Cache Daemon (all the RAC nodes)
The Network Service Cache Daemon was started on all the RAC nodes.
Service nscd start

Backing Up ORACLE_HOMEs/database:
Steps I followed to take the Backup of ORACLE_HOMEs before the upgrade:
On node1:
mkdir backup
cd backup
dd if=/dev/dev/raw1 of=ocr_disk_10gr2.bkp
dd if=/dev/dev/raw3 of=voting_disk_10gr2.bkp
tar cvf node1_crs_10gr2.tar /u01/app/oracle/crs/*
tar cvf node1_asm_10gr2.tar /u01/app/oracle/asm/*
tar cvf node1_db_10gr2.tar /u01/app/oracle/db/*
tar cvf node1_etc_oracle /etc/oracle/*
cp /etc/inittab etc_inittab
mkdir etc_init_d
cd etc_init_d
cp /etc/init.d/init* .
On node2:
mkdir backup
cd backup
tar cvf node2_crs_10gr2.tar /u01/app/oracle/crs/*
tar cvf node2_asm_10gr2.tar /u01/app/oracle/asm/*
tar cvf node2_db_10gr2.tar /u01/app/oracle/db/*
tar cvf node2_etc_oracle /etc/oracle/*
cp /etc/inittab etc_inittab
mkdir etc_init_d
cd etc_init_d
cp /etc/init.d/init* .
On node3:
mkdir backup
cd backup
tar cvf node3_crs_10gr2.tar /u01/app/oracle/crs/*
tar cvf node3_asm_10gr2.tar /u01/app/oracle/asm/*
tar cvf node3_db_10gr2.tar /u01/app/oracle/db/*
tar cvf node3_etc_oracle /etc/oracle/*
cp /etc/inittab etc_inittab
mkdir etc_init_d
cd etc_init_d
cp /etc/init.d/init* .
RMAN full database backup was taken.
Hide the 10gR2 CRS:
In order to install 11gR2 GI, it is required to hide the existing 10gR2 CRS so that 11gR2 GI is installed without any conflict with 10gR2 CRS.
Shutdown CRS on all the RAC nodes
crsctl stop crs
renamed these files/Directories
mv /etc/oracle /etc/oracle_bkp
mkdir /etc/init.d/bkp
mv /etc/init.d/init* /etc/init.d/bkp
removed below lines from the /etc/inittab (the inittab was already backed up in Pre-Upgrade tasks as well)
h1:35:respawn:/etc/init.d/init.evmd run >/dev/null 2>&1 </dev/null
h2:35:respawn:/etc/init.d/init.cssd fatal >/dev/null 2>&1 </dev/null
h3:35:respawn:/etc/init.d/init.crsd run >/dev/null 2>&1 </dev/null
removed the network socket files:
rm -rf /tmp/.oracle
rm -rf /var/tmp/.oracle
rebooted all the RAC nodes at this stage
reboot

HERE’s the detailed Screen Shots of Installing 11gR2 Grid Infrastructure
Move 10gR2 ASM Diskgroups to 11gR2 Grid Infrastructure:
· Invoked the asmca from the 11gR2 Grid Infrastructure HOME (/u01/app/grid11201).
· Mount the FRA and DATA diskgroup using ASMCA. This way, asmca registered and moved the DATA and FRA diskgroups to the 11gR2 GI.

Start the 10gR2 RAC Database using SQLPLUS.
While Starting the 10gR2 RAC database, the below error was received. This is because, as per Oracle, 11gR2 has dynamic configuration of cluster and 11gR1 or older releases have static configuration. So, in order to run older version databases in 11gR2, the cluster configuration needs to be made persistent by pinning the nodes.

The labdb database was then started using sqlplus from 10gR2 home after pinning the node. Then I had registered labdb to 11gR2 Grid using the 10gR2 srvctl (/u01/app/oracle/db/bin/srvctl and ORACLE_HOME set to 10gR2) . The srvctl to manage 10gR2 RAC database needs to be invoked from 10gR2 home itself until it is upgraded to 11R2 RAC.

Upgrade the Database labdb Manually:
This Metalink Note (ID 837570.1) was followed for manually upgrading database from 10gR2 RAC to 11gR2 RAC.
· Ran the /u01/app/oracle/db11201/rdbms/admin/utlu112i.sql
· Fixed the warning returned from above script regarding absolute parameter
· Ignored the warnings regarding TIMEZONE as no action is needed for timezone file version if DB is 10.2.0.2 or higher.
· Ignored the warning regarding stale statistics and EM.
· Purged the recycle bin using PURGE DBA_RECYCLEBIN
· Copied the instance specific init files and password files from 10gR2 HOME to 11gR2 RAC Home.
· Set the cluster_database to false
· Stopped the database labdb. S
· Set the 11gR2 RAC HOME
· Updated the /etc/oratab file and modify the labdb HOME to 11gR2 HOME
· Started the instance labdb1 on node1 using UPGRADE option of start command.
· Ran the catupgrd.sql from $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin of 11gR2.
[oracle@node1 ~]$ export ORACLE_SID=labdb1
[oracle@node1 ~]$ export ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/db11201

Post Upgrade Steps:
· Ran the utlu112s.sql to get the status of the upgrade of each component.
SQL>@$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/utlu112s
· Ran the catuppst.sql to perform upgrade actions that do not require database in UPGRADE mode.
· Ran the utlrp.sql to recompile any INVALID objects
· Upgraded the database configuration from 10gR2 to 11gR2 into the OCR by removing the labdb database and adding it back
[oracle@node1 ~]$ srvctl add database -d labdb -m hingu.net -o /u01/app/oracle/db11201 -p +data/labdb/spfilelabdb.ora -y AUTOMATIC -a DATA,FRA
