Server Administration :: Oracle 11g Patch Installation Steps
Jan 16, 2011
I have installed grid and oracle 11g on linux environment. I want to installation January patch related to grid and oracle 11g. This is the first time i m going to install the oracle 11g.
A link which describe step by step with screen shots how can i install oracle 10 r2 on oracle linux server release 6.1 using vmware workshop 8.my actual os is windows server 64 bit in this in install vmware 8 and i install oracle linux server release 6.1 32 bit now i want to install oracle 10g r2 or oracle 11g r2 on this .
I am using Oracle 11g (11.2.0.1.0) and I want to apply January patch on 11.2.0.1.0. I have applied 3 patches. I have single Instance with ASM and Grid.
1. Applied Opatch on grid. unzip p6880880_112000_LINUX.zip -d /opt/grid/11.2.0/grid
2. Validated the Oracle Inventory. /opt/grid/11.2.0/grid/OPatch/opatch lsinventory -detail -oh /opt/grid/11.2.0/grid
3. Shut down the databases. 4. Run the prepatch script ./9655006/custom/server/9655006/custom/scripts/prepatch.sh 5. Shutdown the ASM. 6. Ran the below command to stop CSS etc. /opt/grid/11.2.0/grid/crs/install/roothas.pl -unlock
8. Applied Opatch on Oracle home 9. Applied Oracle patch /opt/oracle/product/11.2.0/db/OPatch/opatch napply -oh /opt/oracle/product/11.2.0/db -id 10248516
8. Run the postpatch script ./9655006/custom/server/9655006/custom/scripts/postpatch.sh
9. Run the following script to enable CSS etc. /opt/grid/11.2.0/grid/crs/install/roothas.pl -patch /opt/grid/11.2.0/grid/bin/crsctl check has /opt/grid/11.2.0/grid/bin/crsctl check css
10. If CSS is not online ran the below command. /opt/grid/11.2.0/grid/bin/crsctl modify resource "ora.cssd" -attr "AUTO_START=1" /opt/grid/11.2.0/grid/bin/crsctl modify resource "ora.diskmon" -attr "AUTO_START=1" /opt/grid/11.2.0/grid/bin/crsctl stop has /opt/grid/11.2.0/grid/bin/crsctl start has
11. Up the ASM and Databases. Ran the postinstall in GRID and Oracle. @catbundle.sql psu apply
12. Ran the below command on grid and Oracle. /opt/grid/11.2.0/grid/OPatch/opatch lsinventory /opt/oracle/product/11.2.0/db/OPatch/opatch lsinventory
1. Let me know steps which are followed are right because I didnot see the version change after connecting to database? (for example 11.2.0.1.0 after applying I can see 11.2.0.1.4 but not changed the version). How should I know the patch is applied properly?
We're thinking of moving from 10.2.0.3 to 10.2.0.5 in our production Oracle RAC. The 10.2.0.5 patch is quite new and I was wondering if any of you have upgraded to this patch in any of your environments and if you experienced any issues afterwards?
I have been working in the installation of oracle 11g r2 in my fedora 17 (32 bits) system for a few days and still have not gotten.Now I found that I need the OPtatch for enable the db console and even being a member of My Oracle Support I can not request the patch for a technical question.
1) Note to the Approver: I am that one because I am an end user (freelance)
I want to install Oracle 11g R2 in windows 2008 64 bit server. How can I know whether my server is ready to install Oracle ie is all components are available in server or any patch is to be applied etc.
I have a single node Oracle E-Biz 12.1.3 Installation.We plan to convert this to a dual node RAC install and I wanted to run by the steps to perform this AND clone over the current production system to the new RAC system (note this will not be using ASM - but will be based on NetApp NFS)
1. Install GRID 11.2.0.3 - installed acorss two nodes, Binaries can be shared - voting disks / cluster rigistry MUST be shared
2. Install Database Software for RAC - Binaries cannot be shared and must be installed on each node independently
3. Configure the GRID for database (database / listeners)
4. Clone over the stand alone system (clone database as RAC)
I will be using SCAN - and therefore would expect all the web services / concurrent manager nodes to point to the SCAN hostname as opposed to individual host names.
I am reffering to one off patch "10402264" .I have to apply tihs patch to my 11.2.0.2.4 database.Is there any chart oracle provide to check if 10402264 is covered in any PSUs? or i have to go to each PSU readme and check "Bugs fixed" ?
i wish i could get somthing like this
11.2.0.2 One-off# PSU4 PSU5 11.2.0.3.0 10402264 NO YES YES
I am trying to install oracle 11g on windows 2003 ent with sp2 , where I am getting an error, The java runtime environment was not found at bin/javaw.exe. hence the oracle universal installer cannot be run.
I want to install Oracle software 10g R2 at linux platform. I want to install it at Silent mode, but not able to find the .rsp(response) file. I have created the .rsp(response file) from oui , hut not able to configure the same.
I want to install the partitioning option in my oracle database. I have the license. When i run the installer and select the partitioning option, the installation begins from beginning overwriting my old setup files. How can i avoid this and only install partitioning.
I installed Oracle 10.2.0.1.0 in RH Linux 4.5. After that applied patch for 10.2.0.4.0. Everything went smoothly, but at the last steps I unknowingly clicked next button. I dont know whether some scripts is to be run as I did during installation of 10.1.0.4.0. If it is to be done I didn't do that.
How can I proceed now? If some scripts to be run where is the location? Will it cause any issue if I running it after completing the update?
When Oracle was installed, there was an error in the server's domain name (missing a "."). Is there an easy way to fix this domain name in the Oracle installation after the fact? I know about tnsnames.ora, pfile, system parameters, and I'm pretty sure I can do emagent -config. My concern is that the "Installed Products" would not like the fact that the domain name is now "abc.proj.org" when installation was done on "abcproj.org". The /etc/hosts file had "abcproj.org", and we want to fix it to "abc.proj.org".
I need to reinstall Oracle -- is there a better way?
Yesterday i installed oracle 11g r2 by default i installed database Oracle with the installation .but today i tried to create the database with the name green tat also completed successfully..the problem is in startup
export oracle_sid=green sqlplus '/ as sysdba' startup database mounted
select instance_name from v$instance; But it SHowing the instance name as Oracle...i tried with the other method also
export oracle_sid=green sqlplus /nolog conn sys/b123 as sysdba
database mounted
select instance_name from V$parameter;
and it shows instance name as green..i tried to see the datafile location for green database
select file_name from dba_data_files; it shows the orcl datafile locations.
where i can download the patch documentation. Is it available in the metalink (my oracle support)? if yes then is there any other way i can get hold of it?
can we apply 11.1.0.7 Patch Set on a 10.2.0.3 database server? i mean are patch sets cumulative or do i have to install the patch specific to my release the issue is i have the below error with rman: RMAN-03009: failure of delete command on ORA_DISK_1 channel at ORA-19633: control file record is out of sync with recovery catalog
I applied the Jan 09 CPU to my database this past Saturday and now my daily schema export is not running properly:

About to export specified users ... . exporting pre-schema procedural objects and actions . exporting foreign function library names for user TEST . exporting PUBLIC type synonyms . exporting private type synonyms
I am trying to install Oracle 11g Release 2 on Redhat Enterprise Linux 5.2 (vmware image) but after 50% installation it through errors while copying files on the server. I also tried on Windows 2003 Server R2 (physical m/c as well as vmware image) and faced same problems. I did installation of Oracle 11g Release 1 and didn't find any problems.
We are applying PSU JAN 2011 patch 10349197 on windows server 2007. While applying the patch we are getting the below error.
Following files are active :
E:oracleproduct10.2.0inoraclient10.dll E:oracleproduct10.2.0inorapls10.dll E:oracleproduct10.2.0inoracommon10.dll E:oracleproduct10.2.0inorageneric10.dll E:oracleproduct10.2.0inoraplp10.dll [code]........ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The following warnings have occurred during OPatch execution:
1) OUI-67620:Interim patch 10349197 is a superset of the patch(es) [ 8559466 ] in the Oracle Home -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Its not an rac. We stopped all the services running on this server.
I want to install Oracle EE 11gR2 on my Windows 7 Professional 64-bit laptop. Installed memory is 8GB.I need to install 32-bit server since Oracle Warehouse Builder will not run on a 64-bit o/s. Further, I use Toad 9.7.2 which will only recognise client 32-bit.
I had a few failed attempts, especially when the database was being created with the ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error,
So here's what I did:
Changed C:WindowsSystem32driversetchosts so that it contains two lines 127.0.0.1 localhost & ::1 localhost Changed properties of setup.exe in the installation directory to be Windows XP SP2 compatible and run as administrator Selected "install database software only" (so I could figure out at what step the installation fails) Selected "single instance" Selected "Enterprise Edition" Selected oracle base "c:app" (instead of default location c:appd_seng)
Copy of files was completed successfully, log file was created in c:program files(x86)oracleinventorylogs & registry entries were added to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREWow6432NodeORACLE" (with keys KEY_OraDb11g_home1, ODP.NET & OracleMTSRecoveryService), and the following services were created:
OracleMTSRecoveryService: Started/Automatic OracleOraDb11g_home1ClrAgent: Not started/Manual OracleRemExecService: Started/Disabled
There are no listener.ora & tnsnames.ora yet. Sqlnet.ora is created with the line SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES = (NTS)
Now I went to Start, All Programs, Oracle - OraDb11g_home1, Configuration and Migration Tools, right clicked on "Net Configuration Assistant" and changed the properties to be Windows XP SP2 compatible and run as administrator and ran it. I selected "Listener Configuration", added a listener called LISTENER, TCP protocol, port 1521 and finished. A service called "OracleOraDb11g_home1TNSListener" was created and started in automatic mode. The PATH was updated and listener.ora was created with the lines:

The command completed successfully Now I went to start, all programs, Oracle - OraDb11g_home1, Configuration and Migration Tools, right clicked on "Database Configuration Assistant" and changed the properties to be Windows XP SP2 compatible and run as administrator and ran it.
I chose to create a databaseGeneral purpose Global database name ORCL SID ORCL Chose "Configure Enterprise Manager" & "Configure Database Control for local management" and disabled "Automatic maintenance tasks" Used the same password for all accounts
Selected storage type "File System" & "Use Database File Locations from Template" Unchecked Flash Recovery & Archiving Selected "Sample Schemas", "Typical" memory size (1228MB), "Use Automatic Memory Management" Left sizing/character sets/connection mode as default, and Selected "Generate Database Creation Scripts" in C:appadminORCLscripts (if I choose to Create Database, it fails with TNS Protocol Adapter Error).
I now open ORCL.bat in an editor, go to command prompt, create the directories as per the file, set ORACLE_SID=ORCL & path.
The next step C:appproduct11.2.0dbhome_1inoradim.exe -edit -sid ORCL -startmode auto -srvcstart system give an error "Unable to start service, OS Error 1056" (probably implies services already running), nothing is present in the windows alert logs about this. If I stop the service OracleVssWriterORCL, then this command completes, although no messages are returned.
The next step in the batch file starts sqplus /nolog and calls ORCL.sql.
ORCL.sql accepts passwords for sys, system, sysman & dbsnmp. It then executes host C:appproduct11.2.0dbhome_1inorapwd.exe file=C:appproduct11.2.0dbhome_1databasePWDORCL.ora force=y, which prompts me for the password for sys.
ORCL.sql then calls CloneRmanRestore.sql, which then tries to run connect "SYS"/"&&sysPassword" as SYSDBA
This is when I get the error ORA-12560: TNS:protocol adapter error, which has been haunting me for days.
My gut feel is that the database creation step at sqlplus is unable to recognise the listener...or probably it does not recognise the modified registry location (with Wow6432Node), the file oracle.key in C:appproduct11.2.0dbhome_1BIN shows the string SOFTWAREORACLEKEY_OraDb11g_home1.
I then changed oracle.key to point to SOFTWAREWow6432NodeORACLEKEY_OraDb11g_home1, restarted the listener and ORCL service, but connecting as sys returns the same error.
I encountered problems when installing Oracle 11g. The problem comes from Enterprise Manager. After searching online, I find there is an official solution path patch 8350262 for this. But I cannot find how to download or get that patch.
Where to take and how to find the latest versions of patches GI Patch Set Update for Windows?
For a DB there is article "*ALERT: Oracle 11g Release 2 (11.2) Support Status and Alerts [ID 880782.1]*". I am signed on notification messages by mail. When article *880782.1* changes, to me the notification message comes. From *880782.1* it is possible to pass in article "*Oracle Database, Networking and Grid Agent Patches for Microsoft Platforms [ID 161549.1]*". Here there are links to the latest versions of patches.
The latest versions for GI Patch Set Update it is possible to look in article "*Oracle Recommended Patches - Oracle Database [ID 756671.1]*" but here is not present Windows platform.
1). Where to take and how to find the latest versions of patches GI Patch Set Update for Windows? 2). Whether It is possible GI Patch Set Update for Windows to find by means of searching on tab MOS "*Patches & Updates*"?
I need some detail information regarding the CPM Patches released by oracle quarterly.
Is it compulsory to set the CPM patch when it is being realized. How to set or apply this patch. (either by runInstaller or OPatch utility i am not sure about this)
What is the difference between the interim & CPM patches.
