Upgrade a standalone Oracle database by comparing manual upgrades with the DMU graphical option, and outline steps for configuring Oracle, grid, and database homes to simplify the process.
Upgrade a data guard configuration by upgrading the standby to 12c first, start mrp to apply redo, then upgrade the primary; redo ships automatically to the standby.
Upgrade a standalone Oracle database with ASM using grid home by upgrading the grid first, then the database home binaries, in a Data Guard-free setup.
Upgrade a standalone Oracle database with Data Guard and ASM by upgrading the standby first, enabling MRP, then upgrading GRID_HOME and Oracle Home on the standby, and finally the primary.
Upgrade the grid software on the physical standby first, then upgrade the database on standby, while disabling the data guard broker and backing up its configuration, before upgrading the primary.
Upgrade the grid infrastructure from 11g to 12c on a physical standby, using the installer to upgrade grid infrastructure and automatic storage management while the standby remains active.
Update the bash profile to point to the new grid home after the upgrade, then start the database manually and plan upgrading the primary and physical standby software.
Upgrade grid software first, then install the 12c database software into an Oracle home on standby. The standby is upgraded via software installation only, coordinated from the primary via MRP.
Prepare the physical standby for upgrade by updating Oracle home and environment. Copy parameter and password files, DNS names, and listener configuration to enable Data Guard and MRP upgrades.
Learn how to upgrade Oracle 11g to 12c in a Data Guard setup by upgrading the standby first, configuring new Oracle homes, and using MRP to apply logs automatically.
Plan downtime for grid infrastructure upgrade by disabling Oracle restart on the primary, shutting down the database, and verifying listener and oracle home configurations on both primary and standby.
Upgrade the primary grid to 12c using the default upgrade path. Set the correct grid home, run prerequisites check, and update the grid user's environment variables to the new home.
Upgrade the grid environment by updating the oracle home to 12.3 and refreshing the bash profile, then perform grid upgrade steps that mirror the primary and standby process.
Upgrade the 12c database software on the primary in a grid environment using the run installer, then perform the database upgrade and verify standby readiness.
Copy dns names to new home, update Oracle home and listener, and modify the Oracle user's bash profile; VB upgrade copies dbms folder automatically, but not parameter or password files.
Learn to invoke DBUA to upgrade a primary database from 11g to 12c, validating environment variables and Oracle home, checking standby sync, and reviewing upgrade progress and alert logs.
Review the upgrade progress and step timings for the primary database, confirming the upgrade results as successful and noting that the standby database is upgraded automatically.
Upgrading oracle database from 11g to 12c in standalone configuration is easy and sometimes straight forward. The complexity increases when you have standalone 11g database configured with oracle data guard. This complexity even increases further when you have same 11g standalone database with data guard and ASM configured.
