3.7.0 HP StorageWorks HP Scalable NAS File Serving Software upgrade guide HP Scalable NAS for Linux (AG513-96005, October 2009)

NOTE:
Complete steps 1–4 for each $ORACLE_HOME and its databases. The remaining
steps need to be completed only once.
1. Complete pre-upgrade steps. The Oracle 32-bit to 64-bit upgrade procedures
may include pre-upgrade steps that need to be performed before the actual
upgrade. These steps should be executed from your 32-bit Oracle service (from
a server in the low IP group). See your Oracle upgrade guide for instructions
on running any Pre-Upgrade Information Tool and be sure to fix any upgrade
issues before continuing.
2. Remove Virtual Oracle Services. Your upgrade downtime starts here. From a
server in the low IP group, remove every active Virtual Oracle Service associated
with your $ORACLE_HOME, which will also shut down all associated Virtual
Oracle Services and the database. For example, if a database name is PILOT,
enter the following at the CLI:
mxdb –d PILOT –R
3. Upgrade $ORACLE_HOME. All databases associated with a specific
$ORACLE_HOME must be upgraded together. See the appropriate Oracle
upgrade guide and also the Metalink articles referenced in “Metalink
articles” on page 62. There is no need to copy datafiles, as the 3.7.0 PSFS
filesystem is compatible with the 32-bit version.
4. Transfer any custom MxDB-Oracle-HiAv configuration files from the 32-bit
Oracle_Home into the corresponding locations in the new 64-bit
$ORACLE_HOME (for example, the $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/
mxdbha_<DBNAME>.conf configuration file).
5. Copy any local MxDB-Oracle-HiAv files previously saved (for example, custom
startup scripts in /opt/hpcfs/mxdb_oracle_ha/etc) to each server in the
high IP group. (This is not typical.)
