Part 1 \u2013 18.3 to 18.8"},"content":{"rendered":"

The process of patch ODA is not complicated but requires attention over some steps. The 19.6 version was the first that was possible to patch from 18.8 version, and the version that allows upgrades to newer. If you want to go directly to 19.5 you need to reimage of the appliance. In this post, I will cover the process that I made recently to patch from 18.3 to 19.8 version.<\/p>\n

The first part covers the upgrade from 18.3 to 18.8.<\/p>\n

Patch Matrix<\/h2>\n

The matrix of what can be done can be found at this post from ODA blog<\/a>, and you can check below:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Another important detail is to check the MOS note ODA: Quick Reference Matrix for Linux Release and Kernel by ODA Hardware Type and Version (Doc ID 2680219.1)<\/span><\/a> and verify if your hardware is still compatible.<\/p>\n

Remember that in this process, the ODA will reboot several times, so, you need to inform your teams that databases will be unavailable during the process.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Actual environment<\/h2>\n

The environment is ODA X5-2, running the version 18.3. This same environment I reimaged last year, and you can see the steps that I made in a previous post<\/a>. And it running bare metal (BM).<\/p>\n

The first thing to do is to check the actual hardware about errors. If you have, please fix it before the start. Another important detail is to verify if your disks have smartctl warnings. To do that, execute smartctl -q errorsonly -H -l xerror \/dev\/DISK<\/strong>; If you have \u201cSMART Health Status: WARNING: ascq=0x97 [asc=b, ascq=97]<\/em>\u201d report (or similar warning), please open an SR to replace the disks. Even the warning can lead to an error during the patch.<\/p>\n

I recommend you to save outside of ODA some config files from BOTH nodes (to have quick access in case you need):<\/p>\n

[root@odat1 ~]# mkdir \/nfs\/ODA_PATCH_18\/bkp_files_odat1\r\n[root@odat1 ~]# cp \/etc\/hosts \/nfs\/ODA_PATCH_18\/bkp_files_odat1\r\n[root@odat1 ~]# cp \/etc\/fstab \/nfs\/ODA_PATCH_18\/bkp_files_odat1\r\n[root@odat1 ~]# cp \/etc\/resolv.conf \/nfs\/ODA_PATCH_18\/bkp_files_odat1\r\n[root@odat1 ~]# cp \/etc\/sysconfig\/network-scripts\/* \/nfs\/ODA_PATCH_18\/bkp_files_odat1\/\r\ncp: omitting directory `\/etc\/sysconfig\/network-scripts\/backupifcfgFiles'\r\ncp: omitting directory `\/etc\/sysconfig\/network-scripts\/bkupIfcfgOrig'\r\n[root@odat1 ~]#\r\n[root@odat1 ~]# cp \/u01\/app\/18.0.0.0\/grid\/network\/admin\/listener* \/nfs\/ODA_PATCH_18\/bkp_files_odat1\/\r\n[root@odat1 ~]#<\/pre>\n
Another detail before the start is to check the actual components and running versions. To do that we execute the odacli describe-component<\/em>:<\/p>\n

Check above that some disks are running the firmware PD51. This occurs because they were changed after the 18.3 version and the firmware is newer than the one that exists at 18.3. If you have something that you want to update you can call the odacli update-storage<\/em> to do the update. Remember that doing this the ODA nodes can reboot.<\/p>\n
18.8<\/h2>\n
The first thing to do is download the patch ODA of 18.8 version using the patch 30518425. since you will have some reboot during the process, is required to stop the databases. I recommend stopping all databases running to speed up the process. This reduces the load over ASM and to stop\/start GI (done internally during the process).<\/p>\n
Another point is about HAIP. The HAIP needs to be disabled after you patch the 18.8. If you are coming from a reimaged 18.3 version (like me in this case), the patch process will disable HAIP automatically (since it was never configured), but if your 18.3 came because you already upgrade is from 12.x version, you need to manually disable it.<\/p>\n
The process to disable it is not quite simple because evolve CRS and cluster definitions. I made this for Exadata\/ZDLRA and you can check in this previous post<\/a>. To ODA you can check this post<\/a>. Or read the ODA<\/a> documentation. Disable HAIP is done after patch to 18.8, and not before.<\/p>\n
Update Repository<\/h3>\n
The first step is to upload the unzipped patch files at the internal ODA repository. This process is done using the odacli update-repository<\/strong> and you pass the full path to unzip patch files (here my files are in NFS folder):<\/p>\n
[root@odat1 18.8]# \/opt\/oracle\/dcs\/bin\/odacli update-repository -f \/nfs\/ODA_PATCH_18\/18.8\/oda-sm-18.8.0.0.0-200209-server1of2.zip,\/nfs\/ODA_PATCH_18\/18.8\/oda-sm-18.8.0.0.0-200209-server2of2.zip\r\n{\r\n  \"jobId\" : \"3368e5ba-f5da-4e07-af69-f9f51c29517e\",\r\n  \"status\" : \"Created\",\r\n  \"message\" : \"\/nfs\/ODA_PATCH_18\/18.8\/oda-sm-18.8.0.0.0-200209-server1of2.zip,\/nfs\/ODA_PATCH_18\/18.8\/oda-sm-18.8.0.0.0-200209-server2of2.zip\",\r\n  \"reports\" : [ ],\r\n  \"createTimestamp\" : \"July 25, 2020 10:10:35 AM CEST\",\r\n  \"resourceList\" : [ ],\r\n  \"description\" : \"Repository Update\",\r\n  \"updatedTime\" : \"July 25, 2020 10:10:35 AM CEST\"\r\n}\r\n[root@odat1 18.8]#<\/pre>\n

The next is to update the dcscomponents with command odacli update-dcscomponents<\/strong>. And here one detail.

Create-prepatchreport<\/h3>\n
The next step is to verify if you can update it to 18.8 or no. The odacli will do a lot of tests for the operational system, GI, and ILOM. To do that, we just need to call odacli create-prepatchreport<\/strong>, and after that use the odacli describe-prepatchreport<\/strong> to check the report.<\/p>\n
Some known issues can be checked before. One that I passed was the existence of \/u01\/app\/oraInventory\/locks. I needed to remove it from both nodes to have success at the report<\/strong>. Besides I receive:<\/p>\n

Stop TFA<\/h3>\n
Before continue is a requirement stop TFA in both nodes. This is needed because will be changed the version and upgraded to AHF. So, we call \/etc\/init.d\/init.tfa stop <\/strong>in both nodes:<\/p>\n
