Creating and adjusting the config file for AutoUpgrade 19c


In this post I will show you , how you can create a simple AutoUpgrade config file and adjust it for a database upgrade.

java -jar $OH19/rdbms/admin/autoupgrade.jar -create_sample_file config

oracle@host1:/oracle/software/autoupgrade/$ java -jar autoupgrade.jar -create_sample_file config
Created sample configuration file /oracle/software/autoupgrade/sample_config.cfg

sample output:

cat /ora_stage/software/autoupgrade/sample_config.cfg

# ----- Unplug/Plug Upgrade -----
# To perform an Unplug/Plug operation that upgrades and moves one or more PDBs
# from a source CDB into a target CDB, use the target_cdb and pdbs parameters.
# The target_pdb_name and target_pdb_copy_option parameters can be used
# to determine how each PDB is created on the target CDB.
#
# ----- NonCDB to PDB conversion -----
# To upgrade and convert an existing NonCDB database into a PDB of a target CDB,
# use the target_cdb parameter to specify the destination CDB.
# The target_pdb_name and target_pdb_copy_option parameters can be used
# to determine how each PDB is created on the target CDB.
#
# When neither of these options are used, a full upgrade of the source DB/CDB is performed.

How to Power On/off Oracle Exadata Machine

<<Back to Exadata Main Page How to Power On/off Oracle Exadata Machine Oracle Exadata machines can be powered on/off either by pressing the power button on front of the server or by logging in to the ILOM interface. Powering on servers using  button on front of the server The power on sequence is as follows. 1. Start Rack, including switches  Note:- Ensure the switches have had power applied for a few minutes to complete power on  configuration before starting Exadata Storage Servers 2.Start Exadata Storage Servers  Note:- Ensure all Exadata Storage Servers complete the boot process before starting the   database servers 3. Start Database Servers Powering On Servers Remotely using ILOM The ILOM can be accessed using the Web console, the command-line interface (CLI), IPMI, or SNMP. For example, to apply power to server dm01cel01 using IPMI, where dm01cel01-ilom is the host name of the ILOM for the server to be powered on, run the

How to Switch Log File from All Instances in RAC

<<Back to Oracle RAC Main Page Switch The Log File of All Instances in Oracle RAC. In many cases you need to switch the logfile of the database. You can switch logfile using alter system switch logfile command but if you want to switch the logfile from all the instances you need to execute the command on all the instances individually and therefore you must login on all the instances. You can avoid this and switch logfile of all instances by just running the below command from any of the instance in RAC database SQL> ALTER SYSTEM SWITCH ALL LOGFILE;   System altered.

ORA-46630: keystore cannot be created at the specified location

<<Back to DB Administration Main Page ORA-46630: keystore cannot be created at the specified location CDB011> ADMINISTER KEY MANAGEMENT CREATE KEYSTORE '+DATAC4/CDB01/wallet/' IDENTIFIED BY "xxxxxxx"; ADMINISTER KEY MANAGEMENT CREATE KEYSTORE '+DATAC4/CDB01/wallet/' IDENTIFIED BY "EncTest123" * ERROR at line 1: ORA-46630: keystore cannot be created at the specified location Cause  Creating a keystore at a location where there is already a keystore exists Solution To solve the problem, use a different location to create a keystore (use ENCRYPTION_WALLET_LOCATION in sqlnet.ora file to specify the keystore location), or move this ewallet.p12 file to some other location. Note: Oracle does not recommend deleting keystore file (ewallet.p12) that belongs to a database. If you have multiple keystores, you can choose to merge them rather than deleting either of them.
