SF Oracle RAC software must be at the same version across all nodes in an SF Oracle RAC cluster after the upgrade, that is 6.0.1.
Review the following information before you upgrade:
If you are running an Oracle RAC version that is not supported in this release, first upgrade Oracle RAC to the supported version before upgrading SF Oracle RAC. For instructions, see the product documentation of the version in use.
-
If you are running SF Oracle RAC version 5.0 MP1 or earlier, first upgrade to version 5.0 MP3, then upgrade to version 6.0.1.
For Solaris zone environments: Only Oracle RAC 11.2.0.3 is supported in SF Oracle RAC 6.0.1. As mentioned above, upgrade to Oracle RAC 11.2.0.3 before you upgrade SF Oracle RAC.
For instructions, see the Veritas Storage Foundation for Oracle RAC Installation and Configuration Guide of the corresponding version.
The directory /opt must be writable and must not be a symbolic link. You can not have a symbolic link from /opt to an unconverted volume. If you do have a symbolic link to an unconverted volume, the symbolic link will not function during the upgrade and items in /opt will not be installed.
