ORACLE Upgrade from 10.2 to 11.2 on hp unix

ORACLE 11g Upgrade
This procedure explains upgrading ORACLE database from 10.2.0.4 or 10.2.0.5 to 11.2.0.2 or 11.2.0.3. If the source database runs Oracle 10.2.0.2, you need to first update the source database to at least patch set 10.2.0.5.
In the below example we would be upgrading oracle version from 10.2.0.5.0 to 11.2.0.2.0
Prerequisites:
Files needed for upgrade
Download oracle related software from http://service.sap.com/oracle-download
Download sap specific patches from http://service.sap.com/swdc
1.       Oracle Database software
The Oracle Database DVD contains a total of six or seven SAR files (depending on the platform), which include the various Oracle 11.2
components such as database, client, grid, gateways, and so on.
For a single-instance database upgrade, you only need to extract the database software. The database components are packed in the files OR111264.SAR and OR211264.SAR. If you only use a single instance database, these 2 SAR files alone are sufficient. In this case, you do not need to extract any other SAR files.
2.       Patch set for Oracle 11.2.0.2 ////database patches/oracle11.2.0.2/database rdbms
3.       Oracle Client
4.       Latest Opatch and Mopatch files
5.       Latest version of SAP specific installation scripts RUNINSTALLER, RUNINSTALLER_CHECK, and 11ginstall.sh from OSS Note  1524205
6.       Latest version of DBA Tools (BR* Tools)
                In summary, below are the files required for the upgrade
               
Planning:
1.       To check the original version of your database, do one of the following from the environment of the source database
Enter one of the following command
sqlplus —version
or
sqlplus / as sysdba
SQL> select version from v$instance;
2.       Check the hardware and software requirements
3.       Review Oracle specific Kernel parameters and Shell Limits
Preparation
1.       Check if the new stage directory /oracle/stage/112_64is created. As per the standard upgrade document this directory will be named /oracle/stage/11202. But we name the directory 112_64 to be in par with the old directory 102_64. One other reason is we can use the same directory 112_64 for any other oracle 11g release also
2.       RDBMS DVD content has to be extracted to the stage directory:  Extract OR111264.SAR and OR21164.SAR files to the new stage directory: /oracle/stage/112_64
SAPCAR –xvf OR111264.SAR
SAPCAR –xvf OR211264.SAR
3.       Check the Oracle inventory directory.
4.       The Oracle inventory directory maintains the inventory of all Oracle software installed on the system. The path to the Oracle inventory directory  fileoraInst.loc

SAPCAR –xvf OR211264.SAR
3.       Check the Oracle inventory directory.
4.       The Oracle inventory directory maintains the inventory of all Oracle software installed on the system. The path to the Oracle inventory directory  fileoraInst.loc.
Before starting the installation of the new Oracle software on the database host, make sure that the file oraInst.loc is present in either the directory /etc or directory /var/opt/oracle and check that it has the following entries
·         inventory_loc=<location of the oracle inventory>
·         inst_group=dba
5.       Updating the Oracle Installation Scripts
In directory /orcle/stage/112_64/database, Move the SAP directory to a backup directory named SAP.SAVE
Extract the contents of 11ginstall-11202-029-complete.zip file downloaded from OSS note 1524205 to this directory
6.       Confirm if new oracle mount point /oracle/<DBSID>/112_64 is created
7.       Backup oraInventory directory
cp -pr /oracle/oraInventory /oracle/oraInventory.old
Procedure
1.       Login as ora<SID> user
2.       Check Prerequisites for OUI
Navigate to /oracle/stage/11202/database and execute
./runInstaller –executeSysPrereqs
3.       Checking Operating system requirements
Navigate to /oracle/stage/11202/database/SAP and execute
./RUNINSTALLER _CHECK
4.       We can ignore the above kernel parameter errors as the set value in the server is greater than the minimum required values.
5.       The below parameters has to be set/unset for the database software installation. This should be temporarily unset for the database software installation session only
6.       Set Oracle home to the new software location

16.   At this point login as root user and execute /oracle/SMD/112_64/root.sh
17.   Confirm successful installation

Installing SAP bundle Patch
You only need to install the latest SAP bundle patch because these patches are cumulative.
18.   Go through the “Readme*” file provided with the bundle patch beforehand.
19.   Copy the new version of downloaded Opatch and MoPatch files to the new home directory
20.   At previous ORACLE_HOME,check whether listener is down.
21.   Make sure that the ORACLE_HOME is set to /oracle/SMD/112_64
22.   Run MOPatch in documentation mode
/cddump/SAP_112025_201203_HPUXIA64.zip

Now Run the actual bundle patch installation using MOPatch
/cddump/SAP_112025_201203_HPUXIA64.zip


 
Below script has to be run to fix any invalid objects
This should be done with the preupgrade parameters
Run utlrp.sql script as follows
cd /oracle/SMD/102_64/rdbms/admin
sqlplus “/as sysdba”

SQL>@utlrp.sql
If this command gives error.then



run

4th step is wrong,----You should open the database in the upgrade mode to run utlirp.sql script, once it is done shutdown the database and open it normally to run utlrp.sql script.
25.   Invalid objects if any can be found out using the below command
Select owner,object_type,object_name,status from dba_objects where status='INVALID';



Copying and Adapting the SQL*Net Files
26.   Copy “listener.ora”, “tnsnames.ora”, “sqlnet.ora” from old ORACLE_HOME to new ORACLE_HOME
27.   Add all three files to adapt to the  new directory. Be sure to adapt the value of ORACLE_HOME in the listener.ora file.
28.   Add the below line in the listener.ora file.
ADR_BASE_LISTENER = /oracle/DMC/saptrace
29.   Since your database is still running in the old environment, do not start the listener with the new listener.ora file at this point.
Running the Pre-Upgrade Scripts
You always execute these scripts as the ora<dbsid> user connected to the database as sysdba in the pre-upgrade environment of the database to be upgraded.
Login as orasmd user in the 10.2 environment.Start Databse
31.   Navigate to directory /oracle/DMC/112_64/sap/ora_upgrade/pre_upgrade
32.   Execute the following commands to perform pre-upgrade tasks, which can improve the performance of the upgrade process:
sqlplus“/as sysdba”
SQL> spool pre_upgrade_tasks.log
SQL> @pre_upgrade_tasks.sql
SQL> spool off
33.   Execute the following commands to check the pre-upgrade status of your database
sqlplus“/as sysdba”
SQL> spool pre_upgrade_status.log
SQL> @pre_upgrade_status.sql
SQL> spool off
34.   Check both the log files and look for any warning or errors and fix them.
35.   Make sure the below two components are in valid state
Change Database user profile using note 1519872
Configuration of the AWR retention period  (OSS Note 1326067)
37.   Run Update statistics before the upgrade
brconnect -u / -c -f stats -t system_stats
brconnect -u / -c -f stats -t oradict_stats
brconnect -u / -c -f stats -f collect -t all -p < CPU *2 val>

38.   Now take a complete offline backup of the database
ORACLE Database Upgrade
1.       Make sure the database backup is  successful. 
Stop the SAP system and listener running under the old ORACLE_HOME
3.       Ensure that you have write permissions on /etc/oratab.
4.       Login as ora<SID> user and set/unset  the below environmental variables
setenv ORACLE_HOME /oracle/SMD/112_64
setenv ORACLE_HOME_SRC /oracle/SMD/102_64
setenv ORACLE_HOME_TGT /oracle/SMD/112_64

unsetenv TWO_TASK
unsetenv ORA_NLS
unsetenv ORA_NLS32
unsetenv ORA_NLS33
unsetenv ORA_NLS10
umask 022
5.       Confirm that the following environment variables point to Oracle 11.2 directories
·         ORACLE_HOME points to /oracle/<DBSID>/112_64
·         PATH, SHLIB_PATH
setenv SHLIB_PATH /usr/sap/DMC/SYS/exe/run:/oracle/DMC/11202/lib
LIBPATH=/sapmnt/NSQ/exe:/usr/sap/NSQ/SYS/exe/run:/oracle/NSQ/11202/lib

6.       Navigate to $ORACLE_HOME_TGT/sap/ora_upgrade/post_upgrade and start the DBUA in query mode
./dbua.sap.sh –q
During this step, the SQL*Net profiles are copied.
 
Now start DBUA in interactive mode
./ dbua.sap.sh
 
I have decided to turn off the archiving during the upgrade


 

9.       Check the summary and click finish
10.   Upgrade Process starts
Monitor the progress of the upgrade
12.   As per OSS Note you can ignore all ORA-32004/ORA-32006 messages
13.   Verify the upgrade results
