This post shall cover the steps to upgrade from Oracle 10.2.0.4 to 11.2.0.2 using silent installation and manual upgrade. In the next one, I'll share the new features specific to 11.2.0.2 Mon, 08 Nov 2010 22:04:31 GMT http://www.ritzyblogs.com/OraTalk/PostID/119/Getting-started-with-11-2-0-2-The-Upgrade http://www.ritzyblogs.com/OraTalk/PostID/109/Oracle-11gR2-Features-and-Bugs For last few months, I've been busy like hell dealing with umpteen number of Oracle 11gR2 RAC installations and upgrades and it's been a roller coaster ride discovering a new feature or bug every day. So I reckon it's high time to consolidate and put together a summarized checklist for fellow DBAs. Obviously, I won't be able to cover all the 11gR2 features but nevertheless would like to share my learnings and discoveries.

But when that instance comes back up, those relocated services need to be manually put back to their preferred instance. By using FAN callouts, we can automate this task.
