Prev	Performing a full upgrade of SF Oracle RAC using the product installer	Next

A full upgrade involves upgrading all the nodes in the cluster at the same time. All components are upgraded during the process. The cluster remains unavailable for the duration of the upgrade.

Note:

You can not roll back the upgrade to a previous version after you upgrade to version 6.0.1.

You can perform the upgrade using one of the following Veritas script-based installation programs:

Common product installer (installer or webinstaller)

The common product installer provides menu options for installing and configuring multiple Veritas products.
SF Oracle RAC installation programs (installsfrac)

The SF Oracle RAC installation programs provide menu options for installing and configuring SF Oracle RAC. You can use either the script-based installer or the Web-based installer.

Note:

If you obtained SF Oracle RAC from an electronic download site, you must use the product installer (installsfrac) instead of the common product installer (installer).

You can also perform a full upgrade using a response file. You can create a response file by using the response file template or by customizing a response file that is generated by the script-based installer.
