Extract the Oracle Grid Infrastructure Files

From your client connection to the Podman container as the grid user, download, extract Oracle Grid Infrastructure binaries, and the binary files to 19.16 (for Oracle Linux 8) or 19.28 (for Oracle Linux 9).

For example:

  1. Ensure that the Grid user has read-write-execute privileges in the software stage home in the Oracle RAC node 1 container (in this example, /software/stage).

  2. Confirm that you have downloaded and staged the required files for Oracle Grid Infrastructure and Oracle Database Release 19c (19.3), as well as the patch files. You must be able to see the Oracle Grid Infrastructure and Oracle Real Application Clusters (Oracle RAC) software staged under the path /stage/software inside the Oracle RAC Node 1 container.

    Oracle Linux 8 (with 19.16): 

    $ ls -l /software/stage/*.zip

    Oracle Linux 9 (with 19.28):

    $ ls -rlt /software/stage/*
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 3059705302 Jun 16 17:28 /software/stage/LINUX.X64_193000_db_home.zip

  3. As the grid user, unzip the files at their intended location. For example:

    Oracle Linux 8 (with 19.16): 

    $ cd /u01/app/19c/grid
$ unzip -q /software/stage/LINUX.X64_193000_grid_home.zip
$ cd /software/stage
$ unzip -q p34130714_190000_Linux-x86-64.zip
$ unzip -q p34339952_1916000OCWRU_Linux-x86-64.zip
$ unzip -q p32869666_1916000ACFSRU_Linux-x86-64.zip

    Oracle Linux 9 (with 19.28):

    $ cd /u01/app/19c/grid
$ unzip -q /software/stage/LINUX.X64_193000_grid_home.zip
$ cd /software/stage
$ unzip -q p37957391_190000_Linux-x86-64.zip

  4. As the grid user, unzip the new OPatch version in the Oracle Grid Infrastructure home to replace the existing one. For example, where OPATCH-patch-zip-file is the OPatch zip file: 

    $ cd /u01/app/19c/grid
$ mv OPatch OPatch_19.3
$ unzip -q /software/stage/OPATCH-patch-zip-file

After you unzip the OPatch zip file, you can remove the OPatch_19.3 directory.
