Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 13c Release 2 (13cR2) was released a couple of weeks ago. In a previous post I mentioned we were going to stop our rollout of 13cR1 agents to production and upgrade from 13cR1 to 13cR2 before we resumed.
I don’t like doing anything at work that I haven’t already tried at home, so the first step in that process was for me to do some clean installs and practice upgrades. After a busy weekend and a late night last night I think I’m happy with the process. That resulted in these articles.
- Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 13c Release 2 (13.2.0.0) Installation on Oracle Linux 6 and 7
- Upgrade Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 13c Release 1 (13cR1) to 13c Release 2 (13cR2)
If you’ve done a 13cR1 installation, the clean 13cR2 installation will come as no surprise. They now have multitenant and non-CDB repository templates to choose from. I used the multitenant template in this example. The installation was fine on both OL6 and OL7, so nothing out of the ordinary to report there.
The upgrade process was similar to previous point release upgrades too. We used the non-CDB template, the only one available at the time, to build our 13cR1 installation, so not surprisingly I practised the upgrade using that as a starting point. The upgrade process went fine, but I got a lot of warning messages during the process. It was all working fine at the end though…
I guess we will start rolling this bad-boy out once I get back from the APAC Tour and Bulgaria (BGOUG).
Cheers
Tim…
Thanks for the share.
