Considerations for upgrading SFHA to 6.1 on systems configured with an Oracle resource

If you plan to upgrade SFHA running on systems configured with an Oracle resource, set the MonitorOption attribute to 0 (zero) before you start the upgrade. If you use the product installer for the rolling upgrade, it sets the MonitorOption to 0 through its scripts. In a manual upgrade, the MonitorOption value must be set to 0 using the hares command. When the upgrade is complete, invoke the build_oraapi.sh script, and then set the MonitorOption to 1 to enable the Oracle health check.

For more information on enabling the Oracle health check, see the Symantec Cluster Server Agent for Oracle Installation and Configuration Guide.
