Upgrade 11gR2 RAC to 12c RAC on RHEL

In this article we will see the steps to Upgrade 11gR2 RAC to 12c RAC on RHEL. We will be doing upgradation of Oracle version 11.2.0.3 to 12.1.0.2 which will include Grid and Database both.
The current 11gR2 RAC configuration is as below,
• OS: RHEL 5.8
• Oracle Software owner: oracle
• Grid Software owner: grid
• Oracle Home: /u01/app/oracle/products/11.2.0/db
• Grid Home: /u01/app/11.2.0/crs
• The OCR, Voting Disk and Database files are stored in ASM diskgroups.
• RAC Nodes – rac1,rac2

========================================================================
• Complete prerequisites
Complete the below checks before proceeding with the upgrade installation of 12c Clusterware
– First of all make sure you have downloaded the below software from Oracle Support site.
Grid binaries
• linuxamd64_12102_grid_1of2.zip
• linuxamd64_12102_grid_2of2.zip
Oracle binaries
• linuxamd64_12102_database_1of2.zip
• linuxamd64_12102_database_2of2.zip
Perform the below checks required for 12c installation.
– Stop the “avahi-daemon” process and disable it
# /etc/init.d/avahi-daemon stop
# chkconfig avahi-daemon off
# chkconfig –list avahi-daemon
– Add below kernel parameter in “sysctl.conf” file
# vi /etc/sysctl.conf
kernel.panic_on_oops = 1
# sysctl -p
– Add below lines “/etc/rc.local” file
chown grid:oinstall /dev/sdb1
chown grid:oinstall /dev/sdc1
chown grid:oinstall /dev/sdd1
chown grid:oinstall /dev/sde1
chown grid:oinstall /dev/sdf1
chmod 660 /dev/sdb1
chmod 660 /dev/sdc1
chmod 660 /dev/sdd1
chmod 660 /dev/sde1
chmod 660 /dev/sdf1
– Run the below command as “grid” user to check whether rolling upgrade prechecks have been completed or not. For this the 11gR2 RAC cluster should be up and running.
$ ./runcluvfy.sh stage -pre crsinst -upgrade -rolling -src_crshome /u01/app/11.2.0/crs -dest_crshome /u01/app/12.1.0/crs -dest_version 12.1.0.2.0 -fixup -verbose
Verify that all the requirements have “Passed”. If any prechecks failed, resolve it and again run the cluvfy utility.
=========================================================================
