Current environment:
- Oracle EE 11.2.0.4
- Linux x86-64
- ASM 11.2.0.4
We have several environments that were set up as single-instance databases
using ASM, no GRID or RAC. We have been unsuccessful in trying to upgrade
ASM to 12.1.0.2. We have not attempted to upgrade the databases since we
were told that ASM must be upgraded to 12c first. Steps we have taken:
- unzip the grid files
- unset variables like ORACLE_HOME, ORA_CRS_HOME, etc.
- from the unzipped location, kick off runInstaller
- execute the rootupgrade.sh script
The last step is where we have problems. The last entry in the log is for
"asmca -silent -upgradeLocalASM". After a couple of hours (had a meeting
in between), we just pressed the <Enter> key a few times to see if it was
waiting for something. Apparently, it was prompting for something, but no
prompts appeared on the screen so we have no idea what we should have
answered to the prompts. The log did show one prompt for "Enter
password". We did verify that the ASMSNMP user was in there and had the
sysdba privilege. We verified that the orapw+ASM password in the 11g OHome
was correct for SYS and ASMSNMP.
Can someone point us to documentation or a step-by-step guide that will
guide us in upgrading this kind of environment? Unfortunately, this is a
secure system so I am unable to supply any logs.
Thank you for any suggestions and guidance.
