This page describes SETUP steps for the new Oracle 19c Database Upgrade Hands-On Lab.
Index
Setup Information
Space and memory requirements – and login
- Space requirements: 64GB hard disk space
- Memory requirements: 8GB RAM minimum
- CPU requirements: Dual-core CPU
The lab is configured to request 8GB of RAM when it starts up. You can adjust this with the SETTINGS for the lab of Virtual Box before startup:
Click on the “oracle” user tab on the login screen and type in the password: oracle
VERY IMPORTANT:
If the login screen does not appear but instead you get a BLACK screen after the reboot process, then please check this link here:
In the cases we encountered during the first run of the labs, two people struggled with it. The:
WaylandEnable=false
parameter brought the solution. I set this for the downloadable image already but people who get the lab via a USB drive in the early stages may miss this setting.
Keyboard layout and preferences
If you need to change the keyboard settings (preconfigured is English-US (default) and German) please do the following:
| 1. |  |
| 2. |  |
| 3. |  |
On the Linux desktop, click on the PENGUIN icon in the left upper corner, then choose “SYSTEM SETTINGS”, then under HARDWARE: “INPUT DEVICES”. The first item is “KEYBOARD”. Choose the “LAYOUT” tab, then click on “CONFIGURE LAYOUTS” and “ADD” the keyboard you’d want to add.
You can then always switch the current keyboard layout by clicking on the “en” (or “de“) characters in the menu bar. As the default is set to “English-US" you may change the default as otherwise every xterm will always open with English keyboard settings at first. You can always alter the keyboard on the fly. There’s no need to open a new xterm to change the setting temporarily for this xterm.
Inside the lab
Username and Passwords
All passwords are set to: oracle
This applies to the OS user root and oracle as well as to the database accounts for SYS and SYSTEM.
Switching environments
You can switch between the different environments by typing: . upgr
This reads: dot <space/blank> upgr
From the picture below you can see the available environments and the shortcuts to switch between any of them.
If you need to alter these files or create new ones, find them in /usr/local/bin/ and alter them with root privileges.
There is an additional environment variable $OH19 defined for convenience. This points to the 19c Oracle Home, and will be used several times in the lab.
HOL overview picture
This is what you’ll find inside the hands-on lab virtual image.
It contains 3 different Oracle Homes:
- Oracle 11.2.0.4 –
/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.4 - Oracle 12.2.0.1 –
/u01/app/oracle/product/12.2.0.1 - Oracle 19.9.0 –
/u01/app/oracle/product/19
The lab contains also 5 different databases:
UPGR– 11.2.0.4 database (non-CDB)FTEX– 11.2.0.4 database (non-CDB)DB12– 12.2.0.1 database (non-CDB)CDB1– 12.2.0.1 database (CDB)CDB2– 19.9.0 database (CDB)
Notation conventions
This is VERY IMPORTANT for the entire lab.
This color means: Execute on the OS level in an xterm:
example: RED means you’ll type this in an xterm
This color means: Execute in SQL*Plus:
example: GREY means you’ll type this in SQL*Plus
And the third color means: Execute in the job console upg>:
example: BLUE means you’ll type this in the autouopgrade job console
This way you can copy&paste from the instructions if necessary without having trouble with prompts.
