GI 19c RPM Package Manager Database

I am upgrading an Oracle 18c Grid Infrastructure cluster to the new Oracle 19c version, release for on-premises last week. The OUI pre-requisite checks finds two issues that need my attention. The first issue is that I am missing Patch 28553832 which should be easy to solve. Simply download the patch and apply it before attempting this upgrade. The second issue says “RPM Package Manager database”. What is this? To learn more, I clicked on the Details link for this finding. You can see the information in the screenshot below.

As we can see, I do not have any credentials for the ‘root’ user so the OUI is having a problem verifying the RPM Package Manager on my system. The solution is easy enough. Press the Back button in the OUI to arrive at the screen where I can have the OUI automatically run the root scripts for me.

There are even a few young men about 20 who experience from issues, but normally you will buying viagra from india not listen to about it. For some, this infertility clinic consequence viagra tablets price might be a good idea for a man to cut the pill in half so you can take it separately. Even Bill Gates, the founder of giant Microsoft Corp., had no escape from the BSOD error during the beta release of Windows 98 at Computer levitra tablets Dealer’s Exhibition (COMDEX) in Las Vegas in April, 1998.

Normally, I run the rootupgrade.sh script manually and I leave these fields blank. This time, I checked the box to run the config scripts automatically. I do not know the root password on this system but I do have sudo access so I enter in the details for the second option. I then press Next and have the OUI check the pre-requisites once again. This time, the check for the RPM Package Manager succeeds.

Personally, I like to have more manual control over my upgrade process and I like to run the rootupgrade.sh script myself. In this case, once I know the pre-req check passes, I can go back here and uncheck the box to auto run the root script. The pre-req check will fail again, but I can ignore it this time.

What do you do if you do not have the root password or sudo access? You can have your SysAdmin come to your workstation and type in the root password to verify the pre-req check passes. Then re-run the OUI and ignore the finding the next time. You will probably have to get your SysAdmin to run the rootupgrade.sh script when it is time to do so.
