In this post I have demonstrated step by step method to relocate 11gr2 Grid infrastructure (gi) home to another location. Below steps had performed on Single instance Grid Infra.
Please note: I strongly recommend you to test this steps and validate. I am not sure this is a supported action. However I followed below steps which worked fine for me. I have implemented this in couple of environments
| Environment Details |
| OS Version : AIX 6.1 |
| Oracle Version : 11.2.0.2 PSU 2 |
| Storage System : ASM |
| Old Grid Home : /prasprd/gridinfra/grid1 |
| New Grid Home :/prasprd/gridinfr/grid2 |
| Step1 |
Verify Current location of GI
cat /etc/oratab
ASM:/prsprd/gridinfra/grid1:N
PPRD:/prsprd/oradb/db1:N
| Step2 |
Stop all has stack (as root)
/prasprd/gridinfra/grid1/bin/crsctl stop has
| Step3 |
Copy GI files to new destination
cp -R /prasprd/gridinfra/grid1/* /prasprd/gridinfra/grid2/
| Step4 |
Edit the file crsconfig_params, with new gi home path:
vi /prasprd/gridinfra/grid2/crs/install/crsconfig_params
From ORACLE_HOME=/prasprd/gridinfra/grid1 To ORACLE_HOME=/prasprd/gridinfra/grid2
| Step5 |
Edit OLR.loc file with new home
vi /etc/oracle/olr.loc
From olrconfig_loc=/prasprd/gridinfra/grid1/cdata/<servername>.olr To olrconfig_loc=/prasprd/gridinfra/grid2/cdata/<servername>.olr
From crs_home=/prasprd/gridinfra/grid1 To crs_home=/prasprd/gridinfra/grid2
| Step 6 |
Take backup of crsconfig_lib.pm
cd /prasprd/gridinfra/grid2/crs/install/
cp crsconfig_lib.pm crsconfig_lib.pm.bak
| Step 7 |
Edit following line from crsconfig_lib.pm
From my @exp_func = qw(check_CRSConfig validate_olrconfig validateOCR
To my @exp_func = qw(check_CRSConfig validate_olrconfig validateOCR read_file
| Step 8 |
Now lock and relink the GI HOME as root user….
/prasprd/gridinfra/grid2/rdbms/install/rootadd_rdbms.sh
/prasprd/gridinfra/grid2/crs/install/roothas.pl –patch
| Step 9 |
Check the CRS resources status
/prasprd/gridinfra/grid2/bin/crsctl stat res –t
| Step 10 |
Verify Current location of GI
cat /etc/oratab
# +ASM:/prsprd/gridinfra/grid1:N
+ASM:/prsprd/gridinfra/grid2:N
PPRD:/prsprd/oradb/db1:N
