Step 3:

run following script on RAC1&RAC2 

/u01/app/11.2.0.4/grid/rootupgrade.sh 

Performing root user operation for Oracle 11g 


The following environment variables are set as:
    ORACLE_OWNER= grid
    ORACLE_HOME=  /u01/app/11.2.0.4/grid


Enter the full pathname of the local bin directory: [/usr/local/bin]:

Step 4:

confirm the GI current version:

[grid@rac1 ~]$ crsctl query crs activeversion
Oracle Clusterware active version on the cluster is [11.2.0.4.0]

Step 5:

change user grid .bash_profile

Section 2: upgrade database from 11.2.0.3 to 11.2.0.4

Step 1:

comment out the ORACLE_SID ORACLE_BASE ORACLE_HOME in .bash_profile

Step 2:

*install database software only

software location:/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.4/db_1

Step 3:

run following script on RAC1&RAC2:

/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.4/db_1/root.sh 

Step 4:

run utlu112i.sql before upgrade

[oracle@rac1 ~]$ export ORACLE_SID=sdb1
[oracle@rac1 ~]$ export ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle
[oracle@rac1 ~]$ export ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/db_1

WARNING: --> Your recycle bin is turned on and currently contains no objects.
.... Because it is REQUIRED that the recycle bin be empty prior to upgrading
.... and your recycle bin is turned on, you may need to execute the command:
        PURGE DBA_RECYCLEBIN
.... prior to executing your upgrade to confirm the recycle bin is empty.

**********************************************************************
Recommendations
**********************************************************************
Oracle recommends gathering dictionary statistics prior to
upgrading the database.
To gather dictionary statistics execute the following command
while connected as SYSDBA:


    EXECUTE dbms_stats.gather_dictionary_stats;


**********************************************************************
Oracle recommends reviewing any defined events prior to upgrading.


To view existing non-default events execute the following commands
while connected AS SYSDBA:
  Events:
    SELECT (translate(value,chr(13)||chr(10),' ')) FROM sys.v$parameter2
      WHERE  UPPER(name) ='EVENT' AND  isdefault='FALSE'


  Trace Events:
    SELECT (translate(value,chr(13)||chr(10),' ')) from sys.v$parameter2
      WHERE UPPER(name) = '_TRACE_EVENTS' AND isdefault='FALSE'


Changes will need to be made in the init.ora or spfile.
