When upgrading Oracle, you need to set up the server again. The following is the server setup procedure necessary when upgrading Oracle:
- Stop the server by executing the monitor-mode server termination command (monend command).
- Manually reference and update the connection for the shared disk used by Oracle.
For details about how to connect a shared disk, see the documentation for your OS.
- Upgrade Oracle.
For details about how to upgrade Oracle, see the Oracle documentation.
- Correct the definition files for controlling Oracle instances and Oracle listeners.
When Oracle is updated, the Oracle home directory may change. Therefore, as needed, correct ORACLE_HOME in the control definition files to the value that is in effect following the upgrade.
- Manually disconnect the shared disk.
For details about how to disconnect the shared disk, see the documentation for your OS.
- Start the server by executing the monitor-mode server start command (monbegin command).
