In my previous post, we went through the steps of patching the Oracle Enterprise Manager (OEM) 13.4 from a lower patch level to a higher patch level 13.4.0.20. If you would like to stay in OEM 13.4, there is no more patches for the same. If you would like to upgrade to the terminal release of OEM 13c, let's check how that can be achieved.
Note: If pictures look blurry in the post, please click on them to see the clear picture.
OEM 13.4 to 13.5 upgrade paths
There are 2 different path by which the OEM can be upgraded
1. Upgrade End to End
- Takes long time
- Takes to base version and another downtime required to apply RU on 13.5
- Needs OEM 13.4 to be version 13.4.0.10 or lesser patch level.
2. Upgrade s/w only with plugins and configure later
- Two phases - no downtime during 13.5 install resulting in lesser downtime for OEM
- This path is recommended irrespective of the 13.4 patch level you are in.
- You should go straight to 13.5 RU01 or RU02 depending on version of patch if you are greater than 13.4.0.10.
In this post, we will go through the steps of the second method mentioned. This post is going to be longer with multiple screenshots to explain all the steps.
Main activities involve the below:
- Check list and completing prerequisites
- Install OEM 13.5 out of place as a separate installation
- Patching OEM 13.5 RU 16
- Upgrade phase (Configure and upgrade 13.4 to 13.5) - Downtime
- Post upgrade
Documents referenced:
- OEM 13.4 to 13.5 - Upgrade Path (Doc ID 2815000.1)
- 13.5: Checklist for Upgrading Enterprise Manager Cloud Control from Version 13.3/13.4 to 13.5 (Doc ID 2761728.1)
- Enterprise Manager 13.5 Main Release Update List (Includes Plug-ins) (Doc ID 2760230.2)
Check List:
A few items of the checklist can be checked before starting install of OMS 13.5 and a few can be verified before starting ConfigureGC.sh
Do not miss these prerequisite checklists to be completed as the upgrade cannot progress when these are satisfied. 1. Certified version of DB for Repository is 19c with RU11 or later. If you are on 12c versions, you will have to upgrade the repository DB to 19c with RU11 or later before the OMS upgrade. If your repository DB is an 18c, the upgrade will not be stopped, however, the DB should be upgraded immediately to 19c RU11 or later after the OMS upgrade.
2. Oracle recommends that you back up the Middleware Home, the Management Repository, Central inventory, Software library, Management Agent. Since the upgrade is performed Out of Place, the existing OMS Home and the Instance home are untouched. In case the upgrade fails, restore the repository DB from the backup taken prior to the upgrade.
3. Check if any agent running version < 13.3.0.0.0. If yes, upgrade them to 13.3.0.0.0 or later
SQL> select mt.target_name||' Agent Version='|| mtp.property_value from mgmt_target_properties mtp , mgmt_targets mt where mt.target_type='oracle_emd' and mt.target_guid = mtp.target_guid and mtp.property_name='Version' and mtp.property_value < '13.3.0.0.0';
no rows selected
SQL>
4. Verify that all the OMS (including Standby) have the same version of Plugins deployed
SQL> set serveroutput on
declare
oms_guids mgmt_medium_string_array := mgmt_medium_string_array();
oms_names mgmt_medium_string_array := mgmt_medium_string_array();
mismatches smp_emd_nvpair_array := smp_emd_nvpair_array();
begin
select host_url, em_plugin_util.get_guid_from_name(unique_oms_name)
bulk collect into oms_names, oms_guids
from gc_oms_info;
for j in 1..oms_guids.count
loop
dbms_output.put_line('Checking mismatch for OMS ' || oms_names(j));
mismatches := smp_emd_nvpair_array();
em_plugin_inventory.get_plugin_mismatch(oms_guids(j), mismatches);
if mismatches is null or mismatches.count = 0
then
dbms_output.put_line('No mismatch found for OMS ' || oms_names(j));
else
dbms_output.put_line('Mismatch found for OMS ' || oms_names(j));
for i in 1..mismatches.count
loop
dbms_output.put_line('Plug-in on repository: ' || nvl(mismatches(i).name, 'None') ||
', Plug-in on OMS: ' || nvl(mismatches(i).value, 'None'));
end loop;
end if;
end loop;
end;
/
Checking mismatch for OMS linux-8.selvapc.com:4889_Management_Service
No mismatch found for OMS linux-8.selvapc.com:4889_Management_Service
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
SQL>
If any of the following plugins are being used, download them () and stage them on the OMS_HOST.
Initiate the upgrade using:
em13500_<platform>.bin PLUGIN_LOCATION=<path where the plugins are staged> Plugins can be downloaded from below.
EM 13.5: https://www.oracle.com/enterprise-manager/downloads/oem-v135-update-plugins-downloads.html
Enterprise Manager for Times Ten
Enterprise Manager for People Soft
Enterprise Manager for Oracle Unified Directory
Enterprise Manager for Utilities (TUGBU)
Enterprise Manager for Golden Gate
Enterprise Manager for Database Appliance
Since I don't have these plugins, this step is not applicable to me.
5. Check if large number of stuck jobs and clean up if present.
SQL> SELECT job_type, status, cnt
FROM (
SELECT job_type, status, count(*) as cnt
FROM MGMT_JOB_EXEC_SUMMARY join MGMT_JOB_TYPE_INFO using (job_type_id)
WHERE status NOT IN(3,4,5,8,18,19,23)
group by job_type, status
order by 3, 1, 2
)
where cnt > 10000;
no rows selected
SQL>
6. Ensure that the tables in the Management Repository do not have any snapshots created and drop if present.
SQL> select master, log_table from all_mview_logs where log_owner='SYSMAN';
no rows selected
SQL>
7. Ensure that theere are no logon or logoff triggers set in the Oracle Database that houses the Oracle Management Repository and disable them if any.
SQL> SELECT trigger_name FROM sys.dba_triggers WHERE TRIGGERING_EVENT LIKE 'LOGON%' AND status='ENABLED';
no rows selected
SQL> SELECT trigger_name FROM sys.dba_triggers WHERE TRIGGERING_EVENT LIKE 'LOGOFF%' AND status='ENABLED';
TRIGGER_NAME
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GSMLOGOFF
SQL> select owner from dba_objects where object_name='GSMLOGOFF';
OWNER
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GSMADMIN_INTERNAL
SQL> alter trigger GSMADMIN_INTERNAL.GSMLOGOFF disable;
alter trigger GSMADMIN_INTERNAL.GSMLOGOFF disable
*
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01031: insufficient privileges
SQL> conn sys@rmancat as sysdba
Enter password:
Connected.
SQL> alter trigger GSMADMIN_INTERNAL.GSMLOGOFF disable;
Trigger altered.
SQL>
rmancat is the connect identifier to my OEM repository PDB database.
8. Disable the password_verify_function on the repository DB
9. Make sure no active sysman sessions are running in the Repository database. This is needed before downtime of the OMS
SQL> col username for a30
SQL> col action for a10
SQL> col machine for a30
SQL> select sid,serial#,username,status,action,machine from v$session where username is not null and status='ACTIVE';
SID SERIAL# USERNAME STATUS ACTION MACHINE
---------- ---------- ------------------------------ -------- ---------- ------------------------------
2 31258 SYS ACTIVE linux-8.selvapc.com
115 41695 SYS ACTIVE linux-8.selvapc.com
SQL>
10. Following init parameters should be set/reset prior to upgraded. If these parameters are not set/reset, then prerequisites will fail and won’t be able to progress.
Note: The parameters need to be set at CDB level if you are using multitenant architecture and repository database is a PDB.SQL> alter system set "_allow_insert_with_update_check"=true scope=both sid='*';

11. select username from dba_users where username like '%OPSS%';
1) If SYSMANUPGR_OPSS is present, run the query and skip the second step:
select * from sysmanUPGR_opss.jps_dn where parentdn like '%cn=roles%' and (rdn like '%'||CHR(9)||'%' OR rdn like '%\%' OR rdn like ' %' OR rdn like '% ') and (rdn like '%cn=%')
2) If SYSMAN122130_OPSS is present, run the query:
select * from sysman122130_opss.jps_dn where parentdn like '%cn=roles%' and (rdn like '%'||CHR(9)||'%' OR rdn like '%\%' OR rdn like ' %' OR rdn like '% ') and (rdn like '%cn=%')
If this query returns any rows, contact Oracle Support. If no rows are returned, continue with the upgrade.
SQL> select username from dba_users where username like '%OPSS%';
USERNAME
------------------------------
SYSMAN122130_OPSS

12. Copy the

All the checklist has now been completed to start the OEM 13.5 upgrade.
Install OEM 13.5
Once all the above checklist is completed (or which ever requires downtime can wait until downtime window), let’s start with OEM 13.5 installation. This upgrade will be out of place upgrade and is recommended method as if something goes wrong during upgrade, we still have the OEM 13.4 untouched.
