Upgrading RAC from 11.2.0.3 to 11.2.0.4 - Grid Infrastructure

11.2.0.4 patchset is available under patch number 13390677. This post list the steps related to upgrading from 11.2.0.3 to 11.2.0.4. It's not a comprehensive post of "how to upgrade" and list only major steps and things to look out for during the upgrade. At the time of this post, there's not much metalink notes related to 11.2.0.4 upgrade. However step is almost same as previous posts that showed upgrading to 11.2.0.3 and some of the information in metalink notes applicable to 11.2.0.3 are still useful.
There are few new features introduced with 11.2.0.4 grid infrastructure. Some of these "features" were already available as separate software packages and now being bundled with Grid and Database software. Trace File Analyzer (1513912.1) comes as part of GI and automatically installed. During the upgrade this is installed when rootupgrade.sh is run. It will be added to upstart (or inittab) to start at boot time. With this on a 11.2.0.4 installation there will be two Oracle related processes added to init.
14907 ?        Ss     0:00 /bin/sh /etc/init.d/init.tfa run
16456 ?        Ss     0:00 /bin/sh /etc/init.d/init.ohasd run
RACcheck (1268927.1, 1457357.1) is another software that is bundled in 11.2.0.4 database software. For upgrades RACcheck is useful to check the upgrade readiness of the RAC (1457357.1) which was available from 11.2.0.3 onwards.
Oracle documentation says that installing clusterware files on block or raw devices is not supported. This was also the behavior from 11.2.0.1 as well, that block or raw devices are not supported when a fresh installation is done. But upgrading from a system that uses block or raw devices was not an issue. It's not clear why this is specifically mentioned in de-supported section of 11.2.0.4 and if this is now applicable for upgrades as well. (cannot upgrade to 12c if cluster files are in block or raw devices). However under the 11.2 section of the latest documentation it still says "Installing Oracle Clusterware files on raw or block devices is no longer supported, unless an existing system is being upgraded." Upgrading to 11.2.0.4 when cluster files are on block or raw devices will be verified later is verified here. System used for this post was the one earlier converted from standard edition to enterprise edition and had cluster files in ASM.
Refer new feature guide for complete list of features available with 11.2.0.4.
The system used is 11.2.0.3 RAC system on RHEL 6 and has listener names (scan listener and listener) and ports changed to non-default values. During that upgrade this caused issues at the end of the execution of the rootupgrade.sh script on the last node. The rootupgrade.sh seem to be looking for default listener name and without it some of the steps seem to fail. However output also shows that it is able to detect non-default listener names. It's not sure if any step actually failed or not as ultimately cluster version was upgraded to 11.2.0.4. Below is an few lines of output during rootupgrade.sh execution on the last node.

To be on the safe side if non-default listener name/port is used it's best to create a default listener and start it before the upgrade and remove once the upgrade is completed. Same problem was there upgrading to 12c using DBUA
[grid@rhel6m1 admin]$ srvctl add listener -listener listener -p 1521
[grid@rhel6m1 admin]$ srvctl start listener -l listener
[grid@rhel6m1 admin]$ lsnrctl status
Running RACcheck post upgrade check (run as oracle user)

on the existing 11.2.0.3 system gives the following warning on the resulting html file."The default setting for memory_target in 11.2.0.4 and 12.1 versions has been increased to 1024M from the previous default of 256M. Oracle also advises increasing memory_target to 1024M as a minimum in version 11.2 as a proactive measure to match the new defaults. No patch is required in order to increase the value of memory_target." This fact is also noted in Bug 14292825 - ORA-4031 in ASM as default memory parameters values for 11.2 ASM instances low (Doc ID 14292825.8). So it's best to increase the memory target for the ASM instances before the upgrade. (update 2015/12/03. Seems there's further changes to minimum amount, doc 1363369.1 suggest minimum value of 1536M.)

Start the GI upgrade by executing runInstaller.

When prompted execute the rootupgrade.sh script on each node.
It was also observed that COST related files were copied to the new GI HOME during the upgrade and doesn't require any manual intervention. However once the upgrade is completed and before the old GI home is removed change the wallet location in the sqlnet.ora file inside $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin. Upgrade is a rolling upgrade and script will bring down cluster stack on the node and once upgrade is finish bring it back up. Other nodes are open for use during this time.

ASM upgrade has finished on last node.

Once the last node is also upgraded the active version is updated
[grid@rhel6m2 ~]$ crsctl query crs activeversion
Oracle Clusterware active version on the cluster is [11.2.0.4.0]
Click OK on the configuration dialog to continue with rest of the upgrade steps.

If the 11.2.0.3 GI HOME is no longer needed deatch it from the inventory and remove
./runInstaller -silent -detachHome ORACLE_HOME=/opt/app/11.2.0/grid 
rm -rf /opt/app/11.2.0/grid
To check the post upgrade health of the cluster use
cluvfy stage -post crsinst -n rhel6m1,rhel6m2 -verbose
or/and
./raccheck -u -o post
.
This conclude the grid infrastructure part of the RAC upgrade. Next step is to upgrade the database software and finally the databsae.
