HP Serviceguard Toolkit for Oracle on Linux User Guide Version A.12.00.00

2 Installing and uninstalling HP Serviceguard toolkit for
Oracle
This chapter covers the details related to installing, uninstalling, and upgrading the Oracle toolkit.
Installing Oracle toolkit
Oracle toolkit RPM must be installed on all the nodes of the cluster that is configured to run the
Oracle toolkit package. For a fresh installation of the Oracle toolkit, run the following command:
rpm -ivh serviceguard-oracle-toolkit-<version
number>.<OS_destro>.noarch.rpm
For example:
rpm -ivh serviceguard-oracle-toolkit-A.12.00.00-00.sles.noarch.rpm
Upgrading Oracle toolkit
IMPORTANT: The cmupgrade command is a new tool introduced in HP Serviceguard for Linux
A.12.00.00 which helps you upgrade HP Serviceguard and its components such as Serviceguard
Manager, Toolkits, Extended Distance Cluster, etc. This command can be used to perform online
or offline upgrade of HP Serviceguard across major versions starting from A.11.20.00 and later.
It is recommended to use this command to upgrade the Oracle toolkit. For more information on
this command see Managing HP Serviceguard A.12.00.00 for Linux at http://www.hp.com/go/
linux-serviceguard-docs.
To follow the usual method to upgrade an already installed version of the Oracle toolkit, run the
following command:
rpm -Uvh --nopostun serviceguard-oracle-toolkit-<version
number>.<OS_destro>.noarch.rpm
For example:
rpm -Uvh --nopostun serviceguard-oracle-toolkit-A.12.00.00-00.
redhat.noarch.rpm
The files are installed in the following directories:
• $SGROOT/oracletoolkit
• $SGCONF/scripts/tkit/oracle
• $SGCONF/modules/tkit/oracle
The packages that are created before the installation of RPM will continue to run and you can halt
these packages, and failover them without any issues. However, they cannot be modified and
reapplied.
To use the new features bundled with this RPM, delete the old packages and recreate them using
the new scripts.
NOTE: If you have upgraded from any previous version to A.12.00.00, then ensure you include
the new module version in to the existing packages.
