Hi,

I will explain how to Upgrade Grid Infrastructure ( GI ) from Oracle 12cR2 to Oracle 18c in Full Rack ( Eight Nodes ) Oracle Exadata X7-2 in this article.

If you don’t know what is the Oracle RAC and Exadata, you can read following articles.

What is the Oracle RAC and Architecture of Real Application Cluster

https://ittutorial.org/exadata-tutorial-x8-oracle-database-machine-1/

 

 

You can download Oracle 18c installation file from Metalink and following link.

https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/database/enterprise-edition/downloads/oracle18c-linux-180000-5022980.html

 

When you upgrade Grid Infrastructure ( GI ) from Oracle 12cR2 to Oracle 18c, You will get an error related with Oracle patch: 27006180 like following.

 

To upgrade Grid Infrastructure ( GI ) from Oracle 12cR2 to Oracle 18c, you need to apply 27006180 patch to the 12c Grid Infrastracture ( GI ) before upgrade.

Download Latest OPatch utility and 27006180 from Metalink.

 

Apply 27006180 patch like following.

We could not apply Patch : 27006180 because of Bug Conflict with 24600431.

To apply Patch : 27006180, you need to rollback 24600431 patch from GI 12c home.

 

You can rollback 24600431 patch from GI 12c home like following.

 

Don’t forget that you should perform rollback and apply steps on all Nodes ( Eight Nodes )

 

Firstly run Prepatch step.
