Integration

Hi,

This is a pretty straight forward upgrade from 11.2.0.2 to 11.2.0.3. You can use the same 11.2.0.3 binaries that are already there or if you want/need then create a separate ORACLE_HOME for your new database.

The upgrade will be transparent to your other 11.2.0.3 databases on the cluster.

What is your question..or did I miss it?

Dear Freddie,

Thanks for your comments.
do we have any standard procedures, we need to follow for upgrading in 11.2.0.2 to 11.2.0.3?
i have done many standalone DB upgrades , havent done any any cluster DB upgrade. so i dont want to miss out any steps?

please let me know what steps i should follow?

Hi,

Use DBUA to make your life easier if you haven't done this before. Presumably your ASM and CRS are already at 11.2.0.3.

From memory, if you are doing an manual upgrade then it's not much different to doing a standalone upgrade.

You set cluster_database=false first, run through the steps and then set cluster_database=true at the end.

You will also need to update the oracle_home for this database to the new home in CRS using:

srvctl upgrade database -d <db_name> -o <oracle_home>

You need to confirm the steps by reading the docs at http://www.oracle.com/pls/db112/portal.portal_db?selected=11&frame=
