Our production environment don't have ASM installed and it is running 6.9 without any patch.
We are planning to upgrade to 6.9.1 & latest patch.
So my question is will there be any problem during upgrade ? What would be any suggestions/steps to overcome such problem ?
Hi Tushar,
ASM is mainly used with hard appliances.
The fact that you don't have ASM, should not create an overhead during the upgrade process.
Obviously you should test thoroughly the upgrade process (and the business flows) on your test env prior to the actual upgrade on PROD env.

Thank you Boris,
Actually that's where the trick is, our DEV & UAT are hard appliances from RSA.
And PROD is locally set up by someone, previouslly.
As I remember installation script usually asks for ASM partition when it asks for staging & other paths.
That's why I was not sure what will happen when start the installation itself.

Tushar.
If you have an ASM partition, then the script will prompt you to provide a value for this partition (example below), but if you don't have ASM, then you will not see it.
What is the Oracle ASM partition []? <ASM partition value>
That's great. I was thinking that, someone might suggest me to tamper installation script to avoid it. And actually I should have done my homework by checking installation script first.
I believe considering both of your comments we can proceed further.
Thank you.
