How can I upgrade 10G R1 to R2 ?
Hi,
We have Oracle 10G installed since last year. So far so good. But since Oracle had release latest one R2, can anyone tell me how to upgrade the existing 10G R1 ? There are a lot of data inside the server and many system had been deployed. So how can I ensure the upgrade will work 100% or another word, I am afraid if the upgrade failed, the system also failed. If the upgrade is straight foward without reconfigure or minimum changes, then I will try if the procedure is simple and easy.
Another thing is, we also have 2nd 10G installed to another machine. We plan to use this as a backup, just incase 1st server down, 2nd one will take over. But I believe it is not as siimple as it is. How can I do that ?
Thanks.

The following is a chain of events that I first thought might solve the upgrade with no downtime:
(These first steps *would* requires downtime for certain:)
1. shutdown Oracle 10g R1 on both nodes.
2. shutdown crs process.
3. upgrade CRS.
4. open the R1 databases using the R2 of crs.
--------------------------
the next steps I was unsure about, until I realized that what would happen in step 7:
5. shutdown Oracle 10g R1 on node A.
6. upgrade Oracle 10g to R2 on node A
7. open Oracle 10g R2 on node A <-- This step should not work because we are trying to join an Oracle 10g R2
database to a cluster with an already running an Oracle 10g R1 instance.
8. shutdown Oracle 10g R1 on node B
9. upgrade Oracle 10g to R2 on node B
10 open Oracle 10g R2 on node B
Done!
