Upgrade Oracle rpms in a Split Architecture Deployment
The following procedure describes the steps to upgrade Oracle rpms if you have deployed Oracle and NetBackup IT Analytics Portal on separate servers. This deployment is also referred to as split architecture.
To upgrade the Oracle rpms in your split architecture deployment:
- Backup the existing Oracle directory.
#cd /usr/lib #cp -Rp oracle oracle.BAK
- Verify the rpms installed.
#rpm -qa | grep oracle oracle-instantclient-basic-xx.xx.x.x.x-x.exx.x86_64 oracle-instantclient-sqlplus-xx.xx.x.x.x-x.exx.x86_64
- Remove the existing rpms.
#rpm -e oracle-instantclient-basic-xx.xx.x.x.x-x.exx.x86_64 # rpm -e oracle-instantclient-sqlplus-xx.xx.x.x.x-x.exx.x86_64
- Verify that the rpms are removed.
#rpm -qa | grep oracle
- Install the new rpms.
#rpm -ivh oracle-instantclient-basic-xx.xx.x.x.x-x.exx.x86_64.rpm warning: oracle-instantclient-basic-xx.xx.x.x.x-x.exx.x86_64.rpm: Header V3 RSA/SHA256 Signature, key ID ad986da3: NOKEY Verifying... ################################# [100%] Preparing... ################################# [100%] Updating / installing... 1:oracle-instantclient-basic-21.18.################################# [100%]

- Verify that SQL Plus is installed.
#which sqlplus /usr/bin/sqlplus
- Verify the symbolic link.
#ls -al /usr/bin/sqlplus lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 39 <TimeStamp> /usr/bin/sqlplus -> /usr/lib/oracle/21/client64/bin/sqlplus
- Verify the SQL Plus version and test.
#su - aptare #sqlplus -version SQL*Plus: Release xx.x.x.x.x - Production Version xx.xx.x.x
#sqlplus portal@<portal_user_password>@<service_name> SQL*Plus: Release xx.x.x.x.x - Production on <TimeStamp> Version xx.xx.x.x Copyright (c) <year>, <year>, Oracle. All rights reserved.
