mkdir -p /u02/app/grid/product/19C/dbhome
 
chown -R grid:oinstall /u02
 
chmod -R 775 /u02
STEP 2: Copy the 19c grid software to the first node of RAC and unzip it:
1

3
cd u02/app/grid/product/19C/dbhome
 
Unzip LINUX.X64_193000_grid_home.zip-------------------------on Node 1
Step 3. Run cluvfy utility to pre-check any errors On 1st node only run the pre-upgrade script from the new home and generate a fix script if generated. as grid user.

su - grid
cd  /u02/app/grid/product/19C/dbhome -- 19c grid home
./runcluvfy.sh stage -pre crsinst -upgrade -rolling -src_crshome /u02/app/grid/product/12C/dbhome -dest_crshome p /u02/app/grid/product/19C/dbhome -dest_version 19.3.0.0.0 -fixup –verbose
Note: Make sure the cluvfy is executed successfully. If any error occurs, take action before going to the GRID 12c upgrade.
Step 4. Using Dry-Run Upgrade Mode to Check System Upgrade Readiness

cd  /u02/app/grid/product/19C/dbhome
gridsetup.sh –dryRunForUpgrade

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The dry run upgrade is successful. Let’s proceed with the actual upgrade.

Step 5: Actual Upgrade Grid Infrastructure 
— Run as grid owner (oracle)

unset ORACLE_BASE
unset ORACLE_HOME
unset ORACLE_SID
Run below script before actual upgradation from root user

Su root
 
root# /u02/app/grid/product/12C/dbhome/crs/install/rootcrs.sh –unlock –crshome /u02/app/grid/product/19C/dbhome

Now , go to grid home & call gridSetup.sh

cd  /u02/app/grid/product/19C/dbhome
./gridSetup.sh

 

 

 

 

 

 

We have successfully upgraded the grid to the 19c version.
