Use this procedure to update the Oracle Database software. Once the Component Bundle is installed, the latest Oracle Database binaries are installed and available for configuration of VMs.
This procedure is also required when you update the MCMU component as described in Update the MCMU Component (CLI). Install the Component Bundle after updating the MCMU component.
% cd /var/opt/oracle.minicluster/patch % /bin/unzip '*zip'
In this example, the version_no is 1.1.21.4. Your version_no might be different. Make note of the version_no for the next step.
% ls MC-README.txt mc-1.1.21.4-sfw.tar.ad mc-1.1.21.4-sfw.tar.aa mc-1.1.21.4-sfw.tar.ae mc-1.1.21.4-sfw.tar.ab
This command might run for 1.5 hours.
In this command line, replace version_no with the version of your tar files.
% cat mc-version_no-sfw.tar.a? | sh ./import.sh
% cd /var/opt/oracle.minicluster/patch % cat mc-version_no-sfw.tar.a? | sh ./import.sh Checking directory ownership Checking directory /commonfs/sfw/OracleDBSW is owned by mcinstall user Checking directory /commonfs/sfw/calibration is owned by mcinstall user Checking directory /commonfs/sfw/s7-sysfw is owned by mcinstall user Checking directory /commonfs/sfw/s11.3 is owned by mcinstall user Check PASSED Extracting Oracle MiniCluster Component Bundle ................5min...............10min..............

Once complete, delete the tar file:
% rm mc-version_no-sfw.tar.a?
% su - root # svcadm clear eshm/omc
Clear the eshm/omc service on both nodes.
IMPORTANT – Update the MCMU component before you update any other component. See Update the MCMU Component (CLI).
If you have already updated the MCMU component, you can update other components by performing one of these procedures:
Update components using the MCMU BUI – See Update MiniCluster Software (BUI).
Update components using the MCMU CLI – See Update the MCMU Component (CLI).
