Oracle Upgrade

Introduction

This document includes the upgrade steps for Oracle.

Upgrade Software Installation

Important

The software installation must be upgraded on all servers where Gluent Data Platform is installed.

Perform the following actions as the owner of the existing Gluent Data Platform installation.

Backup Existing Software

Source the Gluent Data Platform environment file and run backup commands:

$ . <OFFLOAD_HOME>/conf/offload.env
$ cd $OFFLOAD_HOME/..
$ for f in offload/conf/{offload.env,datad.conf,datad.properties,*.xml,*.key}; do [ ! -f $f ] || cp $f .; done
$ mv offload offload.$(date +%Y.%m.%d_%H.%M.%S)

Unpack New Software

Unpack the install tarball (gluent_offload_<version>.tar.bz2):

Note

When unpacking, an offload directory will be created if it does not exist. The offload directory is referred to as <OFFLOAD_HOME> and an environment variable ($OFFLOAD_HOME) will be set when offload.env is sourced.

$ cd <Gluent Data Platform Base Directory>
$ tar xpf <Gluent Data Platform Installation Media Directory>/gluent_offload_<version>.tar.bz2

Restore Configuration Files

Copy configuration files into new $OFFLOAD_HOME:

$ for f in {offload.env,datad.conf,datad.properties,*.xml,*.key}; do [ ! -f $f ] || cp $f offload/conf; done

Oracle Database Actions

Note

The database actions need only be performed on one Oracle server.

Perform the following actions as the owner of the existing Gluent Data Platform installation.

Move to the setup directory:

$ cd $OFFLOAD_HOME/setup

Connect to the database as an appropriately privileged account and run upgrade_offload.sql as shown below.

SQL> @upgrade_offload.sql
