OPATCH PATCH IN RAC


1.    The worked example below will use the following settings:
CRS_HOME = /u01/crs/oracle/product/10/crs

2.    The patch being applied is p123456
               oracle:> export PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/OPatch

               oracle:> which opatch
               /u01/crs/oracle/product/10/crs/OPatch/opatch

3.    Each node of the cluster has its own CRS Home, the patch should be applied as a rolling upgrade. All of the following
steps should be followed for each node.
Do not patch two nodes at once.

4.    As the Oracle Clusterware (CRS) software owner check CRS_HOME.
oracle:> opatch lsinventory -detail –oh /u01/app/oracle/product/db10.2.0/
Invoking OPatch 10.2.0.3.0
...
  Remote node = <node x>
-------------------------------------------------------------------
 
OPatch succeeded.

·         The above should list the components and the list of nodes. If the Oracle inventory is not setup correctly the OPatch utility will fail.

5.    Unzip the patch set container file, this will create one or more sub-directories.
      % unzip p123456.zip
 
      Archive:  p123456.zip
         creating: 123456/
      ...

6.    Shut down the RDBMS and ASM instances, listeners and nodeapps followed by CRS daemons on the local node.
·         To shutdown RDBMS instance on the local node run the following command:
% $ORACLE_HOME/bin/srvctl stop instance -d dbname -i instance_name
·         To shutdown ASM instances run the following command on each node:
         % $ORACLE_HOME/bin/srvctl stop asm -n <node_name>
·         To shutdown nodeapps run the following comand on each node:
         % $ORACLE_HOME/bin/srvctl stop nodeapps -n <node_name>


7.    Now shutdown CRS daemons on each node by running as root:
root # $CRS_HOME/bin/crsctl stop crs
Stopping resources. This could take several minutes.
Successfully stopped CRS resources.
Stopping CSSD.
Shutting down CSS daemon.
Shutdown request successfully issued.

8.    Prior to applying this part of the fix, invoke the unlock script as root to unlock protected files.
su -
 
root # cd <patch directory>/123456
root # custom/scripts/prerootpatch.sh -crshome  /u01/crs/oracle/product/10/crs -crsuser oracle
root # exit

9.    Now invoke an additional script as the crs software installer/owner. This script will save important configuration settings.
oracle:> cd <patch directory>/123456
custom/scripts/prepatch.sh -crshome /u01/crs/oracle/product/10/crs
custom/scripts/prepatch.sh completed successfully.


10. After unlocking any protected files and saving configuration settings run opatch as the Oracle Clusterware (CRS) software owner.

cd <patch directory>/123456
oracle:> opatch apply -local -oh /u01/crs/oracle/product/10/crs
