Using the CVU Database Upgrade Validation Command Options
Use the Cluster Verification Utility (CVU) command cluvfy stage -pre dbinst -upgrade
to check the readiness of your Oracle RAC installation for upgrades.
Running cluvfy
with the -predbinst -upgrade
options performs system checks to confirm if the cluster is in a correct state for upgrading from an existing Oracle RAC installation.
The command uses the following syntax, where variable content is indicated by italics:
cluvfy stage -pre dbinst -upgrade -src_dbhome src_RAChome [-dbname
db_names_list] -dest_dbhome dest_RAChome -dest_version dest_version
[-fixup] [-fixupnoexec][-method root|-method sudo -user user_name
[-location dir_path ]] [-verbose]
The command performs the appropriate checks on all the nodes in the cluster before setting up an Oracle RAC Database. The following table describes the options for the command.
