When running ahfctl upgrade command, “AHF-00026: Perl is not owned by root” occurs and the AHF upgrade fails. In this article, we will provide effective solutions to resolve the problem.,

This is a bug and here is the solution: First: Since in the ahfctl upgrade command we cannot change the perlhome directory, we must unzip the AHF software zipfile and use ahf setup command.
[root@]# cd /u01/AHF23.6/
[root@]# unzip AHF-LINUX_v23.6.0.zip
Second: We should copy the path of perl in the above error to the /opt/perl and change the permission of this directory in the /opt/perl path.
[root@]# cp -pR /u01/app/19.3.0.0/grid/perl /opt/perl
[root@]# chown -R root:oinstall /opt/perl
Third: run the ahf_steup command with -perlhome option
[root@]# cd /u01/AHF23.6/
[root@]# ./ahf_setup -perlhome /opt/perl
Fourth: enter Y to upgrade the existing AHF version

Steps 1 and 2
By running the following command, the AHF upgraded successfully.

Steps 3 and 4
Check that the AHF is upgraded successfully.
[root@]# tfactl status
[root@]# ahfctl version
