oracleasm-support rpm package

User754933-OracleMar 26 2013 — edited Apr 7 2013
Is it safe to upgrade the oracleasm-support RPM package with the system live, no reboots or DB outages
and everything running? Any potential fallout if I yum upgrade that package with the system completely
live?

I gues that is only possible using the ksplice.
Dude!
The oracleasm-support package, as far as I know installs oracleasm tools like scandisk, listdisks, querydisk, renamedisk, configure, etc. It does not install any kernel driver. I don't see a reason why a reboot was required. Changes of course won't affect the live system, until you reuse the tools.

Ofcourse no-reboot of the server is required for updating ASM rpm .
However a db outage will be required as you will have to shutdown and disable ASM before installing the update .

It might be possible to update with the database and ASM live , however this is not recommended .


Thanks

Hi friend,

Upgrading the oracleasm-support RPM package with the system live not recommended. Suggestion is do it in any test system before updating in LIVE system.

Thanks
