Cluster Management

Upgrading Oracle8
i
Server
The design of the PDC/O5000 is tightly integrated with Oracle8
i
Server.
Significant changes in Oracle8
i
Server will likely affect the operation of the
cluster.
Before upgrading to any new release of Oracle8
i
Server, consult your Compaq
and Oracle service representatives. Make sure that the new release is certified
and supported on the PDC/O5000, and get assistance to determine which
procedure you should follow to perform the upgrade properly.
Upgrading the OSDs
During the life of your PDC/O5000, you will need to upgrade the operating
system dependent modules as new versions are released.
Before beginning the upgrade procedure:
1.
Make sure that the person performing the upgrade has administrative
privilege on each cluster node.
2.
Make sure that all cluster nodes are active. From each node, run the ping
utility to verify that every node recognizes the other nodes by host
name.
3.
Shut down the Oracle database on all nodes.
4.
Stop the Oracle services (OracleCMService, OracleNMService, and
OracleService
SID
) on all nodes.
Once you have completed these steps, you can deinstall the existing OSDs and
install the new versions as described in the following subsections.
Upgrading the Ethernet OSDs
To upgrade the Ethernet OSDs:
1.
Insert the CD containing the new revision of the OSDs into the
CD-ROM drive on the primary node. (This is the node that was used for
the previous installation of the OSDs.)
The
Oracle Universal Installer
window is displayed.
