6.0.5 install w/all patches

Hi Forum Friends,

I need some help installing SFHA with all patches included. I wanted to know if there is a way to install all of these below in the same command?

The Sort installation report shows I need these patches

Patch Date Size
cpi-6.0.1.1100 2015-01-06 18.5 KB
cpi-6.0.5.300 2015-01-05 7.98 KB
sfha-rhel6.6_x86_64-6.0.5.200 2014-12-18 34.14 MB
fsadv-rhel6_x86_64-6.0.5.200 2014-11-25 3.85 MB
odm-rhel6_x86_64-6.0.5.100 2014-09-10 295.95 KB
sfha-rhel6_x86_64-6.0.5 2014-04-15 194.48 MB

 

To install in a single shot sfha-rhel6.6_x86_64-6.0.5.200 says to run something like this.

You can also install this patch together with 6.0.1 GA release and 6.0.5 Patch release
    # ./installSFHA605P2 -base_path [<601 path>] -mr_path [<605 path>] [<host1> <host2>...]

So how do I get the rest installed is there any extended commands I can use to include in this to get them all done in one shot?

I am open to using just installmr with -base_path and other switches as well. What ever would do it.

I plan on using a response file btw.

Thanks Bros

  • Hi,

    sfha-rhel6.6_x86_64-6.0.5.200  patch was basically intended for enabling RHEL 6.6 support on SFHA 6.0.5. The CPI installer program bundled with it (installsfha605p2 ) can be used to directly install the 6.0.1 base release, 6.0.5 MR patches (sfha-rhel6_x86_64-6.0.5) and the RHEL 6.6 patch: sfha-rhel6.6_x86_64-6.0.5.200

    As you mentioned above (and as stated in the install steps for sfha-rhel6.6_x86_64-6.0.5.200) the command to achieve this is:

    # ./installSFHA605P2 -base_path [<601 path>] -mr_path [<605 path>] [<host1> <host2>...]

     

    However, for this adhoc patch-installer program (installsfha605p2) the responsfile option is not supported.

    (Responsefile options can be used with the installmr program bundled with sfha-rhel6_x86_64-6.0.5)

    Note that the insatllmr program with responsefile can only install upto SFHA 6.0.5 (without the RHEL 6.6 patch). So, you may use the above command to collectively install 6.0.1, 6.0.5 and sfha-rhel6.6_x86_64-6.0.5.200 

    Once done, the odm and fsadv patches will need to be installed separately.

    Please note that with 6.1 (or later) release you have option to install individual patches together as mentioned here:

    Hope that helps!

  • Hi,

    I would suggest to go with installmr for appropriate installation . .. all the dependencies will be checked & resolved once you run the installmr script ..

    component like ODM are part of RAC component .. I would suggest to shutdown all your cluster groups ..

    once you run the installmr command, select oracle RAC as product & then a full upgrade ...

    Detailed instructions can be found in install/upgrade guide
