Overview
This procedure follows my attempt to install an Oracle RDBMS 11.2.0.3.0 home without Grid Infrastructure installed.
This procedure was followed by Apply Oracle RDBMS 11.2.0.3.3 Patchset which is incomplete because I decided to install Grid Infrastructure on GRIDCTRL.
Download the Patches
Using the locations described in
Finding the 11.2.0.3.3 PSU
, I transferred all of the files for Oracle RDBMS 11.2.0.3.0 and 11.2.0.3.3 to
/tmp
on
GRIDCTRL
:
/tmp/p10404530_112030_LINUX_1of7.zip /tmp/p10404530_112030_LINUX_2of7.zip /tmp/p10404530_112030_LINUX_3of7.zip /tmp/p10404530_112030_LINUX_4of7.zip /tmp/p10404530_112030_LINUX_5of7.zip /tmp/p10404530_112030_LINUX_6of7.zip /tmp/p10404530_112030_LINUX_7of7.zip
Create Directory
I created the following directories for the unzipped files:
mkdir /opt/oracle/software/p10404530
Unzip the Files
Following the advice I was given in
Start of Upgrade to Cloud Control 12.1.0.2 (#em12cr2)
, I used the
unzip60_lnx
utility instead of
unzip
because the former is able to handle files greater than 2GB.
Used the following commands to unzip the archives:
unzip60_lnx -d /opt/oracle/software/p10404530 /tmp/p10404530_112030_LINUX_1of7.zip unzip60_lnx -d /opt/oracle/software/p10404530 /tmp/p10404530_112030_LINUX_2of7.zip unzip60_lnx -d /opt/oracle/software/p10404530 /tmp/p10404530_112030_LINUX_3of7.zip unzip60_lnx -d /opt/oracle/software/p10404530 /tmp/p10404530_112030_LINUX_4of7.zip unzip60_lnx -d /opt/oracle/software/p10404530 /tmp/p10404530_112030_LINUX_5of7.zip unzip60_lnx -d /opt/oracle/software/p10404530 /tmp/p10404530_112030_LINUX_6of7.zip unzip60_lnx -d /opt/oracle/software/p10404530 /tmp/p10404530_112030_LINUX_7of7.zip
