Oracle Exadata Hardware - Version 11.2.3.1.1 and later

For supported Solaris SRUs on Exadata Database Machine check .

Goal

The goal of this procedure is to upgrade to the current recommended Solaris Version on Solaris 11 Exadata Compute Nodes.

Solaris 11.1 SRU 4.5 is the minimum target version. Specifically, upgrading to Solaris 11.1 SRUs before SRU 4.5 is not supported.

Solution

This procedure updates Exadata Database Machine database servers running Solaris 11 first to the latest Solaris 11 and then to the current recommended Solaris 11.1. Customers updating to higher SRU need to open SR to get appropriate update plan.

Note: We recommend to use Solaris 11.1 SRU 19.6.0 (see <Note 1673700.1> for details) as Solaris version for Exadata Database Server Version 12.1.1.1.1/11.2.3.3.1. It is recommended to upgrade Exadata Storage Server to 12.1.1.1.1/11.2.3.3.1 previously to this procedure as well.
Please consider Responses to common Exadata security scan findings (see <Note 1405320.1>) and CVE-2014-6271 and CVE-2014-7169 Patch Availability Document for Oracle Solaris (see <Note 1930090.1>) and apply IDR 1401 (<Patch 19686997>) or patches required to resolve the vulnerabilities

For database servers running Solaris 11 Express, they will first need to be upgraded to Solaris 11. Refer to <Note 1431284.1> for more information and procedures.

For customers with no internet access, offline repositories available via ISO images can be used. For repository setup check:

  • Solaris 11 Express and Solaris 11 Support Repositories Explained (<Note 1021281.1>)
  • Upgrading Solaris Exadata Database nodes from Oracle Solaris 11 Express to a latest supported Oracle Solaris 11 11/11 SRU. (<Note 1431284.1>)
  • Where to download Oracle Solaris ISO images and Update Releases (<Note 1277964.1>)

Ensure there is a valid, restorable backup of Exadata Database Machine database servers before starting this procedure. 

The following steps can be run on one compute node at a time in rolling fashion or in parallel if downtime is acceptable. On the node(s) being upgraded stop and disable CRS first before upgrade and enable and start CRS after upgrade completion. To stop and disable CRS, you could use these commands (run as root, substitute <GRID_HOME> with your Grid Infrastructure ORACLE_HOME path):

(root)# <GRID_HOME>/bin/crsctl stop crs

(root)# <GRID_HOME>/bin/crsctl disable crs

To enable and start CRS, you could use these commands:

(root)# <GRID_HOME>/bin/crsctl enable crs

(root)# <GRID_HOME>/bin/crsctl start crs

 

Upgrading Solaris 11 SRU 8.5 to the current recommended Solaris 11.1 Version

Verify the Solaris 11 version and status.

  1. Check the current version, SRU and exa-family package versions. Most important among the checks at this stage is to make sure that the returned version shows 0.5.11-0.175 (which is Solaris 11). If the version starts with 0.5.11-0.151, then the system runs Solaris 11 Express and will need to be upgraded to Solaris 11 using <Note 1431284.1>.

    Example:

    (root)# pkg list entire

    system/storage/megacli (exa-family)               0.5.11-0.1.0.10            i--

  2. Check ipmp interfaces using ipmpstat -g.

    Example:

    (root)# ipmpstat -g
    GROUP GROUPNAME STATE FDT INTERFACES
    bondib0 bondib0 ok -- bondib0_1 bondib0_0
    bondeth0 bondeth0 ok -- eth2 eth1

  15. Enable power management

    (root)# poweradm set active_control/administrative-authority=none
    (root)# poweradm set active_config/time-to-full-capacity=250
    (root)# poweradm set active_config/time-to-minimum-responsiveness=0
    (root)# svcadm clear power
    (root)# poweradm set active_control/administrative-authority=smf
    (root)# svcadm enable svc:/system/power:default

  16. Enable rds and rename the biosbootorder files in /opt/oracle.cellos/validations/rc.d

    (root)# svcadm enable rds
    (root)# mv /opt/oracle.cellos/validations/rc.d/F85biosbootorder \
      /opt/oracle.cellos/validations/rc.d/F82biosbootorder

    (root)# mv /opt/oracle.cellos/validations/rc.d/E85biosbootorder \
      /opt/oracle.cellos/validations/rc.d/E82biosbootorder

  17. Enable Turbo Mode if necessary

    (root)# ubiosconfig export all -x /tmp/ubiosconfig.xml
    (root)# grep Turbo_Mode /tmp/ubiosconfig.xml
              <Turbo_Mode>Disabled</Turbo_Mode>
    change Turbo_Mode entry to
              <Turbo_Mode>Enabled</Turbo_Mode>
    (root)# ubiosconfig import all -x /tmp/ubiosconfig.xml

  18. Reboot to newly created boot environment

    (root)# reboot -p

  19. Check for enabled Turbo Mode and offline services

    (root)# ubiosconfig export all |grep Turbo_Mode
              <Turbo_Mode>Enabled</Turbo_Mode>
    (root)# sleep 60;svcs -xv

    The command above should return no rows

  20. Check ipmp interfaces with ipmpstat -g and add missing interfaces if needed

    Example:

    (root)# ipmpstat -g
    GROUP GROUPNAME STATE FDT INTERFACES
    bondeth0 rac-bondeth0 ok -- eth2
    bondib0 rac-bondib0 ok -- bondib0_1

    (root)# ipadm add-ipmp -i eth1 bondeth0
    (root)# ipadm add-ipmp -i bondib0_0 bondib0

  21. Check Image Status

    (root)# /opt/oracle.cellos/imageinfo

    Kernel version: 5.11 11.1 i386
    Image version: 12.1.1.1.0.131104
    Image activated: 2014-07-04 06:26:56 -0700
    Image status: success

  22. Check Hardware and Firmware Profile

    (root)# /opt/oracle.cellos/CheckHWnFWProfile -action check -mode exact

  23. Run exachk from MOS 1070954.1

 

II. Update using offline repositories

First, obtain the offline repository ISOs and stage them on the system in a local directory. The following notes have the necessary information for obtaining the ISOs.

  • Where to download Oracle Solaris ISO images and Update Releases (<Note 1277964.1>)
  • Oracle Solaris 11 Support Repository Updates (SRU) Index (<Note 1372094.1>)
  • Oracle Solaris 11.1 Support Repository Updates (SRU) Index (<Note 1501435.1>)

The ISOs referred to in the following procedures can be obtained from the following sources:

  • sol-11-1111-repo-full.iso <Patch 14669012>
    This repo is provided as single or multiple isos. We show the single iso case in this Note. For multiple isos case see the README inside iso.

  15. Enable power management
    (root)# poweradm set active_control/administrative-authority=none
    (root)# poweradm set active_config/time-to-full-capacity=250
    (root)# poweradm set active_config/time-to-minimum-responsiveness=0
    (root)# svcadm clear power
    (root)# poweradm set active_control/administrative-authority=smf
    (root)# svcadm enable svc:/system/power:default
  16. Enable rds and rename the biosbootorder files in /opt/oracle.cellos/validations/rc.d

    (root)# svcadm enable rds
    (root)# mv /opt/oracle.cellos/validations/rc.d/F85biosbootorder \
      /opt/oracle.cellos/validations/rc.d/F82biosbootorder

    (root)# mv /opt/oracle.cellos/validations/rc.d/E85biosbootorder \
      /opt/oracle.cellos/validations/rc.d/E82biosbootorder

  17. Enable Turbo Mode if necessary

    (root)# ubiosconfig export all -x /tmp/ubiosconfig.xml
    (root)# grep Turbo_Mode /tmp/ubiosconfig.xml
              <Turbo_Mode>Disabled</Turbo_Mode>
    change Turbo_Mode entry to
              <Turbo_Mode>Enabled</Turbo_Mode>
    (root)# ubiosconfig import all -x /tmp/ubiosconfig.xml

  18. Reboot to newly created boot environment

    (root)# reboot -p

  19. Check for enabled Turbo Mode and offline services

    (root)# ubiosconfig export all |grep Turbo_Mode
              <Turbo_Mode>Enabled</Turbo_Mode>
    (root)# sleep 60;svcs -xv

    The command above should return no rows

  20. Check ipmp interfaces with ipmpstat -g and add missing interfaces if needed

    Example:

    (root)# ipmpstat -g
    GROUP GROUPNAME STATE FDT INTERFACES
    bondeth0 rac-bondeth0 ok -- eth2
    bondib0 rac-bondib0 ok -- bondib0_1

    (root)# ipadm add-ipmp -i eth1 bondeth0
    (root)# ipadm add-ipmp -i bondib0_0 bondib0

  21. Check Image Status

    (root)# /opt/oracle.cellos/imageinfo

    Kernel version: 5.11 11.1 i386
    Image version: 12.1.1.1.0.131104
    Image activated: 2014-07-04 06:26:56 -0700
    Image status: success


    NOTE: "Image activated" and "Image status" will be blank after the update and this is expected behaviour. This issue will be fixed in the next release.

  22. Check Hardware and Firmware Profile

    (root)# /opt/oracle.cellos/CheckHWnFWProfile -action check -mode exact
