Upgrading Oracle Grid Infrastructure Using Command-Line Interface
Complete this procedure to upgrade Oracle Grid Infrastructure (Oracle Clusterware and Oracle Automatic Storage Management) from an earlier release using the command-line interface.
Note:
- You must migrate from Oracle ASMFD to Oracle ASMLib before starting the upgrade.
- You must remove Grid Infrastructure Management Repository (GIMR) before starting the upgrade.
Note:
-
After upgrading to Oracle Grid Infrastructure 23ai, remove the
ADR_BASE=/u01/app/grid
entry from$ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/sqlnet.ora
file, if you use Oracle ASM for database storage. -
At the end of the upgrade, if you set the Oracle Cluster Registry (OCR) backup location manually to the earlier release Oracle Clusterware home (CRS home), then you must change the OCR backup location to the new Oracle Grid Infrastructure home (Grid home). If you did not set the OCR backup location manually, then the backup location is changed for you during the upgrade.
-
Because upgrades of Oracle Clusterware are out-of-place upgrades, the previous release Oracle Clusterware home cannot be the location of the current release OCR backups. Backups in the old Oracle Clusterware home can be deleted.
-
If the cluster being upgraded has a single disk group that stores the OCR, OCR backup, Oracle ASM password, and the Oracle ASM password file backup, then Oracle recommends that you create a separate disk group or use another existing disk group and store the OCR backup and Oracle ASM password file backup in that disk group.
