This note is about upgrading a virtualized ODA from 12.1.8 to 12.1.2.12, as a direct upgrade from 12.1.8 to 12.2.1.4.0 is not supported.
#1 Download the update patch 26433712
#2 Upload the patch to the two ODA_BASE nodes in /tmp/patch
#3 From the 2 nodes, run the oakcli command below
# oakcli unpack -package /tmp/patch/p26433712_1212120_Linux-x86-64_1of2.zip # oakcli unpack -package /tmp/patch/p26433712_1212120_Linux-x86-64_2of2.zip
#4 Remove the bundle patches from both node, and make sure there is enough space on /tmp
#5 Validate the system from the first oda_base node:
# oakcli validate -a
#6 From both ODA_BASE nodes, verify the OS patch
# oakcli validate -c ospatch -ver 12.1.2.12.0
#7 From both ODA_BASE nodes verify the list of components to be patched
# oakcli update -patch 12.1.2.12.0 --verify
#8 From the *first* ODA_BASE node, apply the server patch, the clusterware will be upgraded during this operation
# oakcli update -patch 12.1.2.12.0 --server
At the end of the patching, the nodes will be restarted.
#9 From the *first* ODA_BASE node, stop all repositories and apply the storage patch:
# oakcli stop repo <repo1> ... # oakcli stop repo <repon> # oakcli update -patch 12.1.2.12.0 --storage
At the end of the patching, the nodes will also be restarted.
