Storage Foundation for Oracle® RAC 7.4.1 Configuration and Upgrade Guide - Solaris

To perform the post-upgrade tasks on the first half of the cluster

1. Change /etc/default/llt to start LLT on the nodes by setting the LLT_START attribute to 1:

   Run the following command to bring LLT online, if it is in maintenance mode:

   # svcadm clear llt

   LLT_START=1

2. On any one node on the first half of the cluster, force GAB to form a cluster.

   For RHEL 7, SLES 12, and supported RHEL distributions:

   For earlier versions of RHEL, SLES, and supported RHEL distributions:

   # gabconfig -x

3. On the first half of the cluster, start SF Oracle RAC:

   # cd /opt/VRTS/install

   # ./installer -start sys1 sys2

4. On the first half of the cluster, manually mount the VxFS or CFS file systems that are not managed by VCS.
5. Relink the SF Oracle RAC libraries with Oracle.

   See Relinking Oracle RAC libraries with the SF Oracle RAC libraries.

6. Bring the Oracle database service group online.

   If the Oracle database is managed by VCS:

   # hagrp -online oracle_group -sys node_name

   If the Oracle database is not managed by VCS:

   For Oracle RAC 12c or later:

   $ srvctl start instance -db db_name \
   -node node_name

   For Oracle RAC 11.2.0.2 and later versions of 11g Release 2:

   $ srvctl start instance -d db_name \
   -n node_name

   For Oracle RAC 11.2.0.1 and earlier versions:

   $ srvctl start instance -d db_name \
   -i instance_name

   Note:

   The downtime ends here.

7. On the first half of the cluster, start all applications that are not managed by VCS. Use native application commands to start the applications.
