Step 5: Upgrading the second half of the cluster
Perform the following steps to upgrade the second half of the cluster.
To upgrade the second half of the cluster
- If you plan to upgrade the operating system, rename the
/etc/llttab
file to prevent LLT from starting automatically when the node starts:# mv /etc/llttab /etc/llttab.save
- Upgrade the operating system, if required.
For instructions, see the operating system documentation.
# shutdown -g0 -y -i6
If you upgraded the operating system, restart the nodes:- After you finish upgrading the operating system, change the LLT configuration to its original configuration.
# mv /etc/llttab.save /etc/llttab
- Make sure that you can run secure shell or remote shell from the node where you launched the installer to the nodes in the second subcluster without requests for a password.
- On the second half of the cluster, upgrade SF Oracle RAC using the product installer. Navigate to the product directory on the installation media.
# cd /dvd_mount/
When you invoke the installer, select the Full Upgrade option. The installer automatically detects the phased upgrade though you select the Full Upgrade option.
Using the product installer:
# ./installer -upgrade sys3 sys4
For Solaris Zone environments: Additionally, perform the following steps if Oracle RAC is installed in a non-global zone:
Take the zone service groups in the subcluster offline:
# hagrp -offline zone_group -sys sys_name
Update the zone configuration.
For instructions, see the topic "Preparing to install non-global zones" in the document Storage Foundation and High Availability Solutions Virtualization Guide.
From the global zone, run the following command for each non-global zone in the subcluster:
# zoneadm -z zone_name attach -u
- Restart the nodes, if prompted by the installer:
# shutdown -g0 -y -i6
