Install and Upgrade 12.1.0.2 Grid Infrastructure The 12.1.0.2 grid infrastructure software is downloaded from OTN and unzipped (“grid” directory).

You also see that I have the database software downloaded, as well as few patches (1979135 is PSU patch, 6880880 is

latest OPatch).

Start the installation by invoking OUI from the 12.1.0.2 media, grid directory.

Following are OUI screenshots and options chosen. Nothing specific to explain here…

Yes, Oracle install is that easy as click click click!

Had some space warnings, ignored the errors as the current space is sufficient for what I use this VirtualBox for (only for

practicing and demo).

Ignore warnings only when you are sure of what you are ignoring.

Click “Install” to begin the installation. After sometime, the popup to run rootupgrade.sh appears.

Ooops!! rootupgrade.sh failed. Fortunately it is a known issue.

Try the rootupgrade.sh again…

Success!! Now click OK in the popup window.

Remember to adjust the environment configuration file (if you have one) with new Oracle home value.

Grid Infrastructure services are running from the new home…

Before applying the PSU, need to have the OCM response file created.

Now, apply the GI as root user.

[root@emcc ~]# export PATH=$PATH:/d01/grid/12.1.0.2/OPatch

[root@emcc ~]# opatchauto apply /media/sf_Orac12csw/19791375/19392646 -oh

Patch succeeded, and services brought up automatically by the opatchauto.

Hope this helps…!
