Oracle Grid Infrastructure & RAC Upgrade from Oracle 12c to Oracle 18c in Full Rack Exadata X7 Step by Step -2 Oracle 18c Upgrade Steps

Mehmet Salih Deveci August 6, 2019 Leave a comment

Hi,

I will continue to 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.

 

Read and apply first article before this article. Because you cannot upgrade Grid Infrastructure without applying that steps.

https://ittutorial.org/18c-upgrade-oracle-grid-infrastructure-upgrade-from-oracle-12c-to-oracle-18c-in-full-rack-oracle-exadata-x7-steps-1-patch-27006180-failed-24600431-patch-rollback/

 

If you have completed steps in the first article, you can start upgrade of Oracle Grid Infrastructure Upgrade from Oracle 12cR2 to Oracle 18c

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

 

Download Grid Infrastructure software and upload into Exadata. Unzip files and run sh gridSetup.sh file to start Upgrade.

Upgrade Oracle Grid Infrastructure is selected automatically. Click Next.

 

 

Select the Cluster nodes in this step. We have 8 nodes, so I have chosen them as following.

Click SSH Connectivity and do manual SSH Connectivity between nodes if it doesn’t exist.

 

I have setup SSH connectivity between nodes, so I can continue.

 

 

You can register Oracle GI 18c with Enterprise manager Cloud Control.

 

Type Oracle base in this step.

 

 

You can select Automatically run configuration scripts.

 

Verifying Installation.

 

We have performed prerequirement steps in the first article, so There is no error in this step. Click submit and start Upgrade.

 

Upgrade is started.

 

In this step, you should run rootupgrade.sh on all nodes.

 

 

rootupgrade.sh is run like following. Firstly run it at the first node, then other nodes.

 

[root@MehmetSalih01 u01]# 
[root@MehmetSalih01 u01]# /u01/grid/rootupgrade.sh
Performing root user operation.

The following environment variables are set as:
ORACLE_OWNER= grid
ORACLE_HOME= /u01/grid

Enter the full pathname of the local bin directory: [/usr/local/bin]: 
The contents of "dbhome" have not changed. No need to overwrite.
The file "oraenv" already exists in /usr/local/bin. Overwrite it? (y/n) 
[n]: y
Copying oraenv to /usr/local/bin ...
The file "coraenv" already exists in /usr/local/bin. Overwrite it? (y/n) 
[n]: y
Copying coraenv to /usr/local/bin ...

Entries will be added to the /etc/oratab file as needed by
Database Configuration Assistant when a database is created
Finished running generic part of root script.
Now product-specific root actions will be performed.
