Thank you Mark.
DBs are not large. I have 4 DBs run on this 2 node oracle cluster using raw
device (largest DB is about 200Gb). I am upgrading in place and I have 72
hours to complete the migration process. Upgrade oracle RAC
11.2.0.3 (OCR+Votedisk on raw device, none-ASM) to GI 12c moving to ASM and
RDBMS from 11.2.0.3 to 11.2.0.4.
Will it be easy to configure ASM on existing oracle cluster and move
everything to ASM prior to upgrade?
Will upgrading oracle cluster from 11.2.0.3 to GI 12c give me an option to
move OCR/votedisk to ASM?
Regards
Ali

Hmmm...it's a complicated question.
How large is the database? How much effort are you willing to expend to
minimize downtime? You can do a standby database and achieve near zero
downtime, but it's a non-trivial effort.
Depending on any SLA that you're subject to, size of the db, are you
upgrading in place? Are you building a new cluster?
Those are just a few questions to get you started.
Hope that helps,

Hello
We are planning to upgrade our oracle cluster 11.2.0.3 using raw device
(no ASM) to oracle GI 12c/ASM.
What will be the best approached to minimize the downtime?
