3.5.1 MxDB-Oracle-HiAv Installation and Administration Guide

Chapter 1: Install MxDB-Oracle-HiAv 6

3. Install MxDB-Oracle-HiAv 3.5.1 on the server:

# rpm -ivh <mountpt>/mxdb_oracle_ha-3.5.1-release.i386.rpm

4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 on the remaining servers in the matrix.

5. Restart Oracle services:

mxdb -d <database_name> -O

Upgrade MxDB-Oracle-HiAv from a

Release Earlier than 3.1.0

NOTE: If you have a large number of databases and are currently using

MxDB-Oracle-HiAv 2.7.2 or earlier, contact PolyServe Technical

Support to obtain the Large Upgrade Kit, which simplifies

creating a large number of virtual Oracle services.

To upgrade MxDB-Oracle-HiAv to the 3.5.1 release, you will need to

complete these steps:

1. Stop all databases currently under the control of MxDB-Oracle-HiAv.

2. Remove all pre-3.1.0 Virtual Oracle Services with the

MxDB-Oracle-HiAv GUI or the Management Console.

3. Uninstall MxDB-Oracle-HiAv from each node of the matrix.

4. Uninstall MxODM from the node on which it was installed.

5. Install MxODM 3.5.1 into only one node of the matrix.

6. Install MxDB-Oracle-HiAv 3.5.1 on each node of the matrix.

7. Use the MxDB-Oracle-HiAv GUI to create new Virtual Oracle

Services. (The SQL*Net files will not have changed during the removal

of the old Virtual Oracle Services, so it suffices to instruct the

MxDB-Oracle-HiAv GUI indicating the entries already exist.)

Each step is described in detail below.

1. Stop Existing Databases

The -S option to the MxDB-Oracle CLI command stops a database

currently under the control of MxDB-Oracle-HiAv. Repeat the command
