Upgrading the VCS agent for Oracle
The agent binaries for Cluster Server agent for Oracle are part of VRTSvcsea package. The VRTSvcsea package is already upgraded if you chose to upgrade to VCS 7.3.1 on a cluster which has a previous version of Cluster Server agent for Oracle installed.
Before you upgrade the agent, make sure you meet the prerequisites to upgrade the Cluster Server agent for Oracle.
Warning:
The agent package VRTSvcsea includes the VCS agents for Oracle, Sybase, and DB2. So, the procedure to upgrade the VCS agent for Oracle upgrades all the other agents also. Make sure that you have also met the upgrade prerequisites for the other agents that are part of the VRTSvcsea package.
On Solaris SPARC: If you had installed Cluster Server agent for Oracle that supported VCS 5.0MP3, 5.1, 5.1SP1, 5.1SP1RP1, 6.0, 6.0.1, or 6.0.3 on your VCS cluster, you can now upgrade the agents for use with VCS 7.3.1.
