02 Upgrade EM12CR3p1 (2)


Overview

Having solved the issue raised in Unable to Unzip Files Bigger than 2GB , I was able to continue on with the upgrade of Cloud Control on GRIDCTL from 12.1.0.2.0 to 12.10.3.0p1.

Procedure

Unzip Last ZIP File

As described in Unable to Unzip Files Bigger than 2GB , I unzipped the third ZIP file successfully by using the following command:

/usr/local/bin/unzip60_lnx /opt/oracle/software/em12103p1_linux_disk3.zip -d /opt/oracle/software/em12103p1

Step 1: Prepare Yourself

It would appear that I had not completed the Cloud Control 12.1.0.2.0 upgrade. According to Upgrade REPOS to 11.2.0.3.3 from 11.1.0.7.0 on GRIDCTRL , I have only upgraded the OMR to 11.2.0.3.4.

Checking the status of the OMS, I get the following response:

[oracle@gridctrl ~]$ . oraenv
ORACLE_SID = [repos] ? oms
The Oracle base for ORACLE_HOME=/opt/oracle/app/OracleHomes/oms12c/oms is /opt/oracle/app
[oracle@gridctrl ~]$ which emctl
/opt/oracle/app/OracleHomes/oms12c/oms/bin/emctl
[oracle@gridctrl ~]$ emctl status oms
Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 12c Release 12.1.0.1.0

WebTier is Down
Oracle Management Server is Down
[oracle@gridctrl ~]$ ls /opt/oracle/app/OracleHomes
agent10g  agent12g  db10g  db11g  oms10g  oms12c

So, I have an additional problem in that the OMS is not starting automatically after a reboot. I had thought I had already solved that issue as described in 11G OCM Install OEM 10.2.0.5 With New Database . Obviously, I did not extend the solution to the new OEM 12.1.0.1 Cloud Control.

The OEM 12.1.0.2 I had created was using a VM. I had only created a workaround to solve Cloud Control Not Starting Automatically in OVM_EM12R2 .

Since I only have 12.1.0.1.0 installed, I cannot directly upgrade the OMS to 12.1.0.3.0p1, without installing bundle patch 1 first as described in 2.1 Upgrading 12c Release 1 (12.1.0.1) [with Bundle Patch 1], 12c Release 2 (12.1.0.2) to 12c Release 3 (12.1.0.3) .

Next Steps

Unfortunately, Bundle Patch 1 is a horror to install. The best approach would probably be to uninstall EM12CR1 and do a fresh installation of EM12CR3p1.
