Steps to Upgrade Grid Infra – Standalone (GI) and Oracle Database from 12.2 to 19.14

March 14, 2022

Steps to Upgrade Grid Infra – Standalone (GI) and Oracle Database from 12.2 to 19.14

In recent two blogs, we discuss Applying the latest JAN-22 RU 33583921 on Grid Infra – Standalone and Database Home (OH) 12.2 Click here to read more. & Steps to Apply Database and Grid Infrastructure RU Patch Before Grid Infrastructure Configuration Click here to read more.

Above both steps are necessary to proceed with GI and DB upgrade to 19.14 as before we start an upgrade process, Oracle strongly recommends that we Patch both GI & DB earlier release and new release Oracle Database and GI software. So in the above blogs, we already applied latest Patch JAN-22 RU 33583921 on GI and DB 12.2 Version and already installed alongwith configured GI and DB home 19.3 and applied the latest Patch JAN-22 RU 33509923 on GI and DB 19.3 Version.

Below are the high-level steps we will follow.
Step 1. Validate 12.2 GI
Step 2. Run precheck
Step 3. Upgrade GI from 12.2 to 19.14
Step 4. Validate GI upgrade to 19.14
Step 5. Download autoupgrade
Step 6. Create autoupgrade configuration file
Step 7. Upgrade database from 12.2 to 19.14 using autoupgrade
Step 8. Validate DB upgrade to 19.14

Below are setup details and the same will be used in this demonstration.

Grid Home 12.2	/u01/app/12.2/grid
Oracle DB Home 12.2	/u01/app/oracle/product/12.2/db_1
Grid Home 19.14	/u01/app/19.0/grid
Oracle DB Home 19.14	/u01/app/oracle/product/19.0/db_1
Non-CDB DB Name	NONCDB
CDB DB Name	ORCL
Autoupgrade Location	/u01/19c_dbupgrade

Step 1. Validate 12.2 GI: Crosscheck all services are online in the grid cluster. Use the below commands to check cluster version and services status.

[grid@test-machine03 bin]$
[grid@test-machine03 bin]$ pwd
/u01/app/12.2/grid/bin
[grid@test-machine03 bin]$ ./crsctl query has releaseversion

Step 2. Run precheck: Run runcluvfy.sh command with option -pre hacfg make sure all checks are PASSED. We are going to ignore the Swap Size check.

Step 7. Upgrade database from 12.2 to 19.14 using autoupgrade: Run autoupgrade first in analyze mode. Review the status.html file for any potential error which can fail Upgrade. Run autoupgrade in fixup mode to run prefixup script and once fixup command is finished review status.html file. Once the above two steps are done and no ERROR in status.html procced with deploy mode where actual downtime will start and autoupgrade will perform actual upgrade steps. If you wish to monitor upgrade in the web browser instead of executing lsj command frequently you can start http server using command “python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8080” Use url: “http://<server-ip>:8080/state.html” to monitor upgrade status directly in this URL.
