Cannot start ASMB after upgrade to 12.1.0.2.160119, TNS-00517, ORA-12560, ORA-12547
Dear followers of this board,
I am really desperate finishing my upgrade from 12.1.0.1 to 12.1.0.2.160119. Please let me explain, what I did.
For an open issue related to AQ-over-DBLink between Oracle 12.1.0.1 and 10g, Oracle advised me to upgrade to the most recent version, which is 12.1.0.2.160119. The database is a staging database, single instance, using ASM, running on RHEL 6.5, 64bit.
What I did:
- Install new 12.1.0.2 GI-Home (software-only, silent mode) and patch it to version 12.1.0.2.160119
- Install new 12.1.0.2 DB-Home (software-only, silent mode) and patch it to version 12.1.0.2.160119
- Deconfigure my GI 12.1.0.1 OHASD, TNSListener and ASM services
- Configure OHASD, LISTENER and ASM in 12.1.0.2.160119 GI Home
Everything was working like a charm. After reboot, ASM and Listener are starting and my one and only ASM diskgroup gets mounted. When configuring my ASM instance I passed the spfile and password file stored in ASM. As mentioned before, this works perfectly and
