Grid Infrastructure 12c Patch/Upgrade from 12.1.0.1 to 12.1.0.2

In this post, I will be demonstrating the steps to upgrade/patch the Grid Infrastructure (GI) 12.1.0.1 to 12.1.0.2. Since ASM runs from GI home, ASM would be upgraded while upgrade of GI home. As we know that Oracle now provides full installation binaries for patchset releases so the binaries are required to be downloaded from MOS. You would need to download Patch
17694377 disk 3 and 4. This upgrade was done on Oracle Linux 6 (x86-64) on running on Oracle Virtual Box. There is a 12.1.0.1 (cdb) database and an 11.2.0.4 (db11g) database running on this host having files on ASM.

You may like to visit here to view patch/upgrade guide for Oracle RDBMS version 12.1.0.1 to 12.1.0.2

Steps are as follows
You should log in as Grid Infrastructure software owner to perform this installation. Stop the databases (db11g) which depends on GI (ASM). Stop all databases (2 in this example) which depend on GI.
$srvctl stop database –d cdb
$
/u02/oracle/11.2.4/db_1/bin/srvctl stop database -d db11g

Initiate the installer from unzipped 12.1.0.2 GI software downloaded from MOS with patch number 17694377 (Disk 3,4)

First of all, you should unset ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_BASE environment variables as these would be set automatically during the installation

$unset ORACLE_BASE
$unset ORACLE_HOME
$./runInstaller 
Select 3rd option for upgrade and Click Next

Click Next




























Provide path for Oracle Base and Oracle Home and click Next




























Click Next




























In my case, installer returned me Warning/Fail for a couple of prerequisites for which I clicked “Fix and Check Again” button – which actually created a script (/tmp/…/runfixup.sh) which was required to be executed as user root to fix the warnings, which I did.




























Click “Install”




























Open a terminal and log in as user “root” and execute the script as instructed by the installer.

























Output of script is as follows
[root@salman1 ~]# /u02/app/grid/product/12.1.0/grid/rootupgrade.sh
Performing root user operation.

The following environment variables are set as:
    ORACLE_OWNER= grid
    ORACLE_HOME=  /u02/app/grid/product/12.1.0/grid

Enter the full pathname of the local bin directory: [/usr/local/bin]:
The contents of "dbhome" have not changed. No need to overwrite.
The file "oraenv" already exists in /usr/local/bin.  Overwrite it? (y/n)
[n]: y
   Copying oraenv to /usr/local/bin ...
The contents of "coraenv" have not changed. No need to overwrite.

Entries will be added to the /etc/oratab file as needed by
