Uninstall/ Upgrade CTE with active ASMFD Setup

For an Active ASMFD Standalone Setup

1. Shutdown all databases running on guarded devices.

2. Shutdown the CRS and ACFS, type:

    crsctl stop resource -all
    crsctl stop has
    afdload stop
   

3. Perform CTE maintenance, uninstall or upgrade.

4. Restart ACFS and CRS, type:

    afdload start
    crsctl start has
    crsctl start resource –all
   

5. Restart related databases.

For an Active ASMFD RAC Setup

To perform CTE maintenance on all ASMFD RAC nodes in a cluster:

1. Shutdown all databases running on guarded devices.

2. Shutdown CRS, ACFS, and AFD on all nodes, type:

    $GRID_HOME/bin/crsctl stop cluster -all
    $GRID_HOME/bin/acfsload stop cluster -all
    $GRID_HOME/bin/afdload stop cluster –all
   

3. Perform CTE maintenance, uninstall, or upgrade on all targeted RAC nodes.

4. Restart AFD, ACFS, and CRS on all nodes, type:

    $GRID_HOME/bin/afdload start cluster -all
    $GRID_HOME/bin/acfsload start cluster -all
    $GRID_HOME/bin/crsctl start cluster –all
   

5. Restart related databases.

To perform CTE maintenance on a ASMFD RAC cluster in a rolling fashion:

1. Shutdown all instances running on guarded devices on the targeted RAC node only.

2. Shutdown CRS, ACFS, and AFD on the targeted RAC node only. Type:

    $GRID_HOME/bin/crsctl stop has
    $GRID_HOME/bin/acfsload stop
    $GRID_HOME/bin/afdload stop
   

3. Perform CTE maintenance, uninstall, or upgrade on the targeted RAC node only.

4. Restart AFD, ACFS, and CRS on a targeted RAC node only, type:

    $GRID_HOME/bin/afdload start
    $GRID_HOME/bin/acfsload start
    $GRID_HOME/bin/crsctl start has
   

5. Restart related instances on the targeted RAC node.
