Upgrading Oracle Grid Infrastructure
If you are using Fleet Patching and Provisioning, then you can use a single command to upgrade an Oracle Grid Infrastructure home.
Fleet Patching and Provisioning supports upgrades to Oracle Grid Infrastructure 23ai from 21c and 19c. The destination for the upgrade can be a working copy of a gold image already provisioned or you can choose to create the working copy as part of this operation. Refer My Oracle Support note 551141.1 for more information about Grid Infrastructure and Oracle Database upgrade paths.
As an example, assume that a cluster is running Oracle Grid Infrastructure on an
Oracle Grid Infrastructure home that was provisioned by Fleet Patching and
Provisioning. This Oracle Grid Infrastructure home is 21c and the working copy is
named accordingly, for example GIOH21C
.
After provisioning a working copy version of Oracle Grid Infrastructure 23ai (named
GIOH23ai
in this example), you can upgrade to that working copy
with this single command:
$ rhpctl upgrade gihome -sourcewc GIOH21C -destwc GIOH23ai
Note:
You can delete the source working copy at any time after completing an upgrade. Once you delete the working copy, however, you cannot perform a rollback. Also, use therhpctl delete workingcopy
command (as opposed to
rm
, for example) to remove the source working copy to keep
the Fleet Patching and Provisioning inventory correct.
