Cross-product upgrades
The installer does not support direct upgrade from a previous SFCFS or SFHA
version to SF Oracle RAC 5.1 SP1. You must upgrade SFCFS or SFHA to version
5.1 Service Pack 1, then install SF Oracle RAC 5.1 SP1.
Simplified SF Oracle RAC configuration
SF Oracle RAC configuration is faster and simpler with reduced manual
interventions. The Cluster Volume Manager and Veritas Volume Replicator
configuration is automatically performed by the installer.
SF Oracle RAC cluster verification checks
The option SF Oracle RAC Installation and Configuration Checks is introduced
in the SF Oracle RAC installer. This option enables you to verify the cluster during
various stages of SF Oracle RAC deployment.
For new installations, these checks can be performed before and after Oracle RAC
installation.
For existing deployments, you can perform these checks after any of the following
activities to check the sanity of the cluster:
■ Upgrading the operating system
■ Applying operating system patch updates
■ Applying Oracle patch updates
■ Applying SF Oracle RAC patch updates
■ Adding a node to an SF Oracle RAC cluster
■ Removing a node from an SF Oracle RAC cluster
