Upgrading SF Oracle RAC using the installer for upgrading BE on Solaris 11
You can use the Veritas InfoScale product installer to upgrade SF Oracle RAC on a BE.
On a node in the cluster, run the installer on the primary boot disk to upgrade SF Oracle RAC on all the nodes in the cluster.
At the end of the process, the SF Oracle RAC 7.4.1 is installed on the alternate BE.
To perform BE upgrade of SF Oracle RAC using the installer
- Insert the product disc with SF Oracle RAC 7.4.1 or access your copy of the software on the network.
- Run the installer script specifying the root path as the alternate BE:
# ./installer -upgrade -rootpath /altroot.7.3
- Enter the names of the nodes that you want to upgrade to SF Oracle RAC 7.4.1.
Note:
Make sure that the installed version of VxFS uses the disk layout version 6 or later. If you are on a previous disk layout version, upgrade the version before you proceed with the SF Oracle RAC installation.
The installer displays the list of packages to be installed or upgraded on the nodes.
- Press Return to continue with the installation.
During BE upgrade, if the OS of the alternate BE is upgraded, the installer does not update the VCS configurations for Oracle, Netlsnr, and Sybase resources. If cluster configurations include these resources, you are prompted to run a list of commands to manually update the configurations after the cluster restarts from the alternate BE.
- Verify that the version of the Veritas packages on the alternate BE is 7.4.1.
# pkg -R /altroot.7.3 list VRTS\*
For example:
# pkg -R /altroot.7.3 list VRTSdbac
Review the installation logs at
/altroot.7.3/opt/VRTS/install/logs
