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

   Copy

3. Perform CTE maintenance, uninstall or upgrade.

4. Restart ACFS and CRS, type:

   afdload start
   crsctl start has
   crsctl start resource –all

   Copy

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

   Copy

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

   Copy

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

   Copy

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

   Copy

5. Restart related instances on the targeted RAC node.

Note

If AFD fails to stop, try the following OS command:

modprobe -r oracleafd
