Issues and workarounds for Exadata Patching (JAN-2019)
0 / Details
- Applying PSU 01/04/2019 (version 18.1.12.0.0.190111)
- Database Machine X5-2 / X6-2 stacks, which were running 12.1.2.3.5.170418 before the patching
- Upgrading Grid Infrastructure (GI) from current 12.1 to 18c (18.5).
1 / Dependency issues due to custom RPM packages
-
- When OS patches are installed, "dbnodeupdate.sh" may prevent an upgrade due to custom RPM packages dependencies in the prerequisites phase. As Fred describes in this post (https://unknowndba.blogspot.com/2018/12/exadata-patching-patchmgr-modifyatprereq.html), using the '-modify_at_prereq' flag is very dangerous as it will change your system during the prerequisites step, which is usually executed days before the actual maintenance window. So be aware of this, and avoid this flag at all costs.
-
- "patchmgr" may remove some packages while applying an update, but that doesn't always work, as you can see below, when "patchmgr" failed due to custom RPM packages installed in the system:
[root@exa1cel01 dbserver_patch_19.190104]# ./patchmgr -dbnodes ~/dbs_group -precheck -iso_repo /tmp/SAVE/p29181093_*_Linux-x86-64.zip -target_version 18.1.12.0.0.190111 -allow_active_network_mounts

exa1db01: # File: /var/log/cellos/nomodify_results.240819004658.sh. #

-
- RPM packages may have intricate dependencies amongst one another, so removing the packages manually may get error like the following:
[root@exa1db01 ~]# rpm -e dbus-1.2.24-8.0.1.el6_6.x86_64
error: Failed dependencies: dbus = 1:1.2.24-8.0.1.el6_6

by (installed) GConf2-2.28.0-7.el6.x86_64
- Remove all packages listed in the prerequisites and then attempt the upgrade again:
[root@exa1db01 ~]# rpm -e dbus-1.2.24-8.0.1.el6_6.x86_64 pm-utils-1.2.5-11.el6.x86_64 hal-0.5.14-14.el6.x86_64
Stopping system message bus: [ OK ]
- Run The prerequisites check and if everything goes fine, start applying the patch with "patchmgr":

Note that the removed packages may cause some features from stop working. In my situation we had problems only with LDAP authentication. To fix it, those packages had to be re-installed after the patch and re-configured, so it's highly advisable to review the whole list of custom RPM packages during the prerequisites phase to detect any features that might get broken during the Exadata Patching.
2 / ASM not starting automatically during clusterware startup:
-
- While applying the same patch described above, GI wasn't able to automatically start the clusterware, which caused the patching operation to fail.

-
- After some troubleshooting we identified the issue was caused by ASM not starting up automatically.
-
- The issue was caused by CRSUSER__ASM_01 not being included in the ASM Password File, the following steps were taken from ( How to recreate shared ASM password file in 12c GI cluster (Doc ID 1929673.1) ):
- Checked the password file and it did not included the "CRSUSER__ASM_01" user:
[oracle@exa1db03 pythian]# . oraenv <<< +ASM3 [oracle@exa1db03 pythian]# asmcmd ASMCMD> lspwusr
Username sysdba sysoper sysasm
SYS TRUE TRUE TRUE
- Re-create the password file
[oracle@exa1db03 pythian]# asmcmd pwget --asm
+DATA/orapwASM
ASMCMD> pwcopy +DATA/orapwASM /tmp/asm.pwd
copying +DATA/orapwASM -> /tmp/asm.pwd

credmaint is an internal option and therefore undocumented. It is used by internal scripts in configuring various services.

NOTE: Type the password received from Step 2, Copy and Paste won't work.
In flex ASM environment, we should add ORACLE_001 user after recreating password file (ORATEXT of SYSTEM.ASM.CREDENTIALS.USERS.oracle_001 from ocrdump).

Patching an Exadata is hardly what it used to be, but even when we have some issues, most of the errors described here were fixed by analyzing the log files generated by "patchmgr" and "dbnodeupdate.sh", so even something goes wrong we still have enough information to troubleshoot it and proceed with the patching.
