To upgrade VCS agent for Oracle to use with VCS 7.2

1. Stop VCS locally.

   # hastop -local -force

2. Remove the earlier version of the VCS agent for Oracle.

   # rpm -e VRTSvcsea

3. Install the VCS 7.2 agent for Oracle.

4. Make sure that you have copied the OracleTypes.cf file from the /etc/VRTSagents/ha/conf/Oracle directory to /etc/VRTSvcs/conf/config directory.

   Make sure to update the newly copied OracleTypes.cf file with all the type-level changes that you had made to the older OracleTypes.cf file.

   For example, if you had changed the value of the MonitorInterval attribute from the default 60 to 120 seconds, the OracleTypes.cf file gets updated. You must apply these type-level changes manually to the newly copied OracleTypes.cf file.

5. If you use ASM for database storage, then make sure that you have copied the file OracleASMTypes.cf from the directory /etc/VRTSagents/ha/conf/OracleASM to /etc/VRTSvcs/conf/config directory.

   Make sure to update the newly copied OracleASMTypes.cf file with all the type-level changes that you had made to the older OracleASMTypes.cf file.

6. If you had enabled detail monitoring for the Oracle agent in the previous version, set the value of the LevelTwoMonitorFreq attribute to the same value of that of the DetailMonitor attribute.

   Note:

   The DetailMonitor attribute is deprecated in VCS 6.0 and later.

7. Restart the VCS engine.
