How to apply CPU patch

Hi...guys...
I want to apply the CPU patch for 2-NODE RAC Database..
Actually I never applied patches..plz can any one guide me how to apply the CPU patches for RAC...
As per as my knowledge..
1.apply the patch for clusterware.
2.apply the patch for database level...
is its right...
Another thing is how to upgrade the 10.2.0.2 to 10.2.0.4 for RAC ...
plz help me..

Hi,
you are right, clusterware always has to be on the same or higher patchlevel as/than the database so you will patch it first. Generally, the hardest part is finding the patch on metalink, once you have found it, there is a readme with every patch that has very detailed instructions on what to do. For CPUs and other patches, you will generally bring down services on one node, then run opatch on that node. Once it is done patching, it will tell you to restart all services on that first node and shut down services on the other node(s). Once you hit OK opatch will continue to patch the remote hosts.
The upgrade to 10.2.0.4 will be a bit more complicated. AFAIR there is a real installer with that one and once you are done patching the software you also have to patch the database itself which means downtime.

I am applying cpu patch to rac environment first time.It is a 2 node rac.Kindly let me know the methods and how to apply cpu patch on 2 node RAC.
Regards
Raj

Hi user8884603,
as Rajesh has mentioned, all info is in the readme file, but lookout specifically:
If you can apply the patch while the DB is open or CRS is started.
If you must apply the patch on all nodes in the cluster or only from 1 node.
As which user specific tasks must be done.
Hope this is helpful.

Listener not stoping while apply CPU(patch)

Any body know the effect if i dont stop listener while apply CPU(Patch), i dont want to stop listener which is serving 30more dbs also....

You are heading for a train wreck.
If the CPU is going to patch the listener code (did you read the docs to see if it is?) then it is going to affect all 30 instances.
But then 30 instances on a single server is, by definition, a train wreck waiting to happen.
If you are the junior DBA I'd suggest you talk to the senior DBA immediately. If you are the only DBA it is time you either called in a consultant or had a long talk with management about the concept of consolidation as you are presiding over lunacy.

How to apply signed patches to Studio 11 under Solaris 10?

I'm running Solaris 10 6/06 on a Sun W2100z (x86_64) workstation. I have a long history of experience with Solaris, but I'm not terribly familiar with the things that are new or different with 10, including zones and the new patch management tools.
I want to apply the latest patches to the various components of Studio 11, e.g. 120759-08,
121018-04, etc. Since all the other patches I've applied (for other OS subsets) have been "signed" patches, I was hoping to stay consisent and apply signed patches to Studio 11 too. I've been foiled at every attempt, though, so I'm looking for some help.
- if I use /usr/bin/updatemanager to select and attempt to apply the patches, I just get error
messages saying that the patches could not be applied:
121016-03 Sun Studio 11_x86: Patch for Sun C_x86 5.8 Compiler            Failed
Utility used to install the update failed with exit code {0}.

Install of update failed. Utility used to install the update is not able to add packages. Utility used to install the update failed with exit code 5.... and so on.
- if I try using "smpatch" to add the patch, I get this error:
$sudo smpatch add -i 120759-08
add patch 120759-08
Transition old-style patching.
Patch 120759-08 failed to install due to a failure produced by pkgadd.
pkgadd: ERROR: The package <SPROlang> is currently installed on the system in the
global zone. To install the new instance of this package in the global
zone only, you must specify the -G option. To install the new instance
of this package in all zones you must first remove the existing instance
of this package from the global zone first (via pkgrm) and then install
the new instance of this package in all zones.
pkgadd: ERROR: package <SPROlang> cannot be installed on this system/zone- if I try to use "patchadd" directly with the jar file in the current directory, I get this:
$sudo patchadd 120759-08

ERROR: Unable to verify signature for signer <es-signature>
Signature invalid on signed patch <120759-08>.
Patchadd is terminating.That's three strikes, and I'm out of ideas. Any suggestions for how one goes about applying signed patches for Studio 11? I'll switch to unsigned if I have to, but this seems like it shouldn't be this hard.
Thanks,
Tim

I started a new thread on the updatemanager forum.
http://forum.sun.com/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=107410
I found that forum by googling for "updatemanager" and "zones", but
I couldn't find any recent information on this issue. It seems the
problem has been known about for a while now.

hello,
this question is already answered in the Forum. There is also notes about it.
On the left upper corner there is a box called "search", it is really easy to use, no kidding here.
If you would have done so, you would have find the following thread:
Re: How to install the oracle patch in the HP_ux server.
or
Re: O patch apply procedure in Hp-ux and IBM aix
or the SAP Note 306408 OPatch: Oracle tool for patch installation.
If you have oracle 10g, the explanation is also valid, but there is a note specific for it. Lets see if you are able to find it

Basic Steps for applying CPU Patch

Hello,
I'm asking for someone to please post a basic step-by-step procedure for appling an oracle cpu patch. Nothing too detailed, but something I can use as an outline.
Thank you

If you look in the readme.txt it will have all the steps needed and what to do if it is rac or not; but very high level:
- shutdown the database
- cd into the patch directory
- issue $ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/opatch napply -skip_subset -skip_duplicate -local
- Startup
- run from sqlplus: catbundle.sql cpu apply
- run utlrp.sql
checking logs along the way

APPLYING CPU PATCHES

Hi Hussein:
I am planning to apply the CPU patches for my EBS instance. I know that the application server and the Database server patchsets are cumulative. So I can apply the latest CPU.But the EBS patchsets are not cumulative. In order to get the list of all the patches that needs to be applied since April 2006,I need to query AD_APPLIED_PATCHES with the EBS patch numbers since April 2006 right? Is this the right approach.
Regards,
Bala

Bala,
If your instance release is 11i then you are correct. You need to query AD_APPLIED_PATCHES (I would prefer querying AD_BUGS table) to get the list of applied patches.
In R12, CPU patches are cumulative.

How to apply AIA Patch using Opatch

i have an oracle aia update patch...how can i apply this patch using Opatch.......cann any one say me the procedure of doing so....
Quick reply is appreciated....
Regards
GSK

To apply patches on top of AIA 10g you need a Standalone patch.
In my case, i had to apply a patch on top of AIA 2.5 version.
-I had to apply a Stand alone patch. The version used is stand alone opatch 11.1.0.0.0 . this can be downloaded from the oracle support site.
-After applying the stand alone patch, you can apply the aia update patch. .
- opatch apply -oh <AIA_HOME> -jre <SOA_HOME>/jre/1.4.2
AIA_HOME - Complete directory path where AIA_HOME is installed
SOA_HOME - Complete directory path where SOA is installed
Follow the instructions given in the readme and should be able to do it.
Hope this helps
