Thanks the the suggestion, Martin. I actually noticed a post from Andrew 
Kerber, earlier today, and forwarded to my colleagues. I'm sure it will be a 
topic of discussion on Monday.

Thanks,

Hi Mark,

I’d also recommend you patch to 11.2.0.2.2 whilst you are at it, there’s a 
rather interesting note on MOS (1318986.1 - ORA-600 / corruption possible 
during shutdown in RAC) as part of the 11.2.0.2 Patch Set - Availability and 
Known Issues [ID 1179474.1] document.

Best regards,

Martin

Thanks to Andrew and Alan for their replies.

To answer some questions, yes, GI home was previously upgraded to 11.2.0.2.

I pre-staged the binaries for 11.2.0.2 DB Home, and that was successful to all 
5 nodes.

When I ran ‘dbua’, later, I got the error.

Problem was, I set ORACLE_SID to the local instance of the db I wanted to 
upgrade, and ORACLE_HOME to the new 11.2.0.2 home and put the ORACLE_HOME/bin 
in my PATH.  When I did that, I got the bizarre error shown below.

The solution was to log out, log in, cd my_11.2.0.2_db_home/bin and then run 
‘./dbua’.  When I did that, it worked.  (No environment variables set.)

Oh, and yes, dbua wants you to choose the name of the database, not the local 
instance.

So, anyhow, all is well, and my upgrades are on the way.

-Mark
