Symptoms
*Symptoms
Briefly describe the symptoms of the problem. Remember to delete any customer specific information
On ODA (Oracle Database Appliance) upgrading a database doing
./oakcli update -patch 2.2.0.0.0 --database RAC
The "/u01/app/oracle/cfgtoollogs/dbua/logs/silent.log" shows the following
error:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Cannot find the ORACLE_HOME for the database "rac"
Could not connect to the database with the available OracleHome and OracleSid
parameters
Could not proceed with Upgrade due to errors.
Fix the errors and restart again!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Trying to upgrade the database from 11.2.0.2.x to 11.2.0.3.2, by issuing
oakcli update -patch 2.2.0.0.0 --database RAC
or
oakcli update -patch 2.2.0.0.0 --database rac
Both will fail.
If the database was not upgraded, we are getting the following errors
ERROR : Ran '/bin/su oracle -c "/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.3/dbhome_1/bin/dbua -silent -keepHiddenParams -dbName rac"' and it returned code(1) and output is:
Check the log file "/u01/app/oracle/cfgtoollogs/dbua/logs/silent.log" for upgrade details.:
cat u01/app/oracle/cfgtoollogs/dbua/logs/silent.log":
Cannot find the ORACLE_HOME for the database "rac"
Could not connect to the database with the available OracleHome and OracleSid parameters
Could not proceed with Upgrade due to errors.
Fix the errors and restart again!

You may receive the following warning messages:
WARNING: 2012-04-26 00:19:09: Do not find the Database: RAC
Changes
Upgrading ODA to the Bundle Patch version 2.2.0.0.0
Cause
We are getting the db name from the crs resource name.
We should use DB_UNIQUE_NAME from the resource profile.
if the database name is created with upper case, /etc/oratab will have upper case names:
SI:/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1:N # line added by Agent
TEST:/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1:N # line added by Agent
RAC:/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1:N # line added by Agent
srvctl will have upper case names:
$ srvctl config database -d RAC
Database unique name: RAC
Database name: RAC
The crs resources names were lower case for the dbnames, i.e.:
ora.rac.db
ora.si.db
ora.test.db
crsctl stat res ora.rac.db
NAME=ora.rac.db
TYPE=ora.database.type
TARGET=ONLINE , ONLINE
Solution
1. As root user to upgrade the oracle home to be 11.2.0.3.2 run:
/opt/oracle/oak/bin/oakcli update -patch 2.2.0.0.0 --database
If 11.2.0.3.2 database software already installed, you will receive the following warning messages:
INFO: No database names are provided. Only Oracle software will be upgraded
INFO: To upgrade the databases you can run 'oakcli update -patch 2.2.0.0.0 -database <db_names>' later
...
you can safely ignore them.
2. As oracle user, '. oraenv' to set the environment properly and run the following manually
/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.3/dbhome_1/bin/dbua -silent -keepHiddenParams -dbName <DB_NAME>
ie:
$ /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.3/dbhome_1/bin/dbua -silent -keepHiddenParams -dbName RAC
3. Update your bash_profile: '/home/oracle/.bash_profile'
with the new oracle_home '/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.3/dbhome_1'
