How to Apply PSU patch on GI home 11gr2?

Hi,
My databases is running on 11gR2 RAC ? I am not able to get notes for applying psu patch on Grid_HOME..
GRID_HOME=11.2.0.2
DB_Version=10.2.0.5
do we need to stop RAC services on GRID_HOME?
Please help us
Thanks,

Hi,
Patch apply depends on the location where you need to apply Patch, like Grid Home or Oracle Home.
If the patch is related to Oracle Home there is no need to stop any service for Grid Home.
If patch is For grid Home then surely services will need to be stopped running from grid home.
You will get better guidance from read me of the patch, and will request you to try to read it first.
There is an article on otn will help you to wt to do and when.

Errors on applying PSU patches for GI (Grid Infrastructure) 11.2.0.3

Need help!
This is all in the version of 11.2.0.3.   We created a single node GI with ASM by the user grid.   Grid home is /grid/product/11.2/grid/   And oracle home created by user oracle at /oracle/product/11g.    I have downloaded the GI PSU patch 16742216 for GI and Oracle DB PSU patch 16619892.   I just want to apply the patch to GI home, then Oracle home with different PSU.   Here is what I did after unzip the patch for GI:
1.   Stopped ASM instance and stopped listener (these are owned by grid)
2. Created a ocm response file at grid home by grid user:   $ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/ocm/bin/emocmrsp   -no_banner
3. Use the root to run grid profile to setup grid GI environment
4. Use the root to run as (as described in Oracle instruction): opatch auto /home/grid/patches -ocmrf /grid/product/11.2/grid/OPatch/ocm/bin/ocm.rsp
But got this error.   For some reason it looks for Oracle home, not grid home, although I do not have any oracle home environment setup in root user:

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

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

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.

Regarding applying psu patch on rac

dear gurus
actually last time i applied a psu patch which i could apply as rolling patch but i shutdown database and all services
and on node 1 of my rac i applied the patch .it didn't ask for any option that where i want to run and applied on both nodes while i execute the command only from one node.so i performed post steps and it was successful.
now again i need to apply one PSU patch so what's the best way to apply either i go as i did last time shutting down database both instances and services and then apply patch on one node
or shutting down both instances,database services and then apply patch on node 1 as
opatch apply local
then after completing on one node do same on node2
opatch apply local
is it right way and right command
database version 10.2.0.4
Os rhel 4.5

The correct way is described in the README of the patch file.

[SOLVED]How to apply a patch- first attempt

I need to apply a patch to python2-pillow, which was kindly created by manisandro, to allow my HP Officejet 6700 scanner to work. I'm following the directions at Patching in ABS. I already have the python2-pillow package installed via pacman. I generated the md5sum for the patch by copying and pasting the text into gedit and saving it locally as a .diff file. I then ran md5sum on the file. The following is a copy of my PKGBUILD:

When I run makepkg I get an error saying I am missing several dependancies: tk, python2-setuptools. I don't get this error if I reinstall the package using pacman. Shouldn't the dependancies be the same? It also seems to be packaging python-pillow rather than python2-pillow. Is there a way to fix this?
Thanks for any help.

Fixed checksum problem. The makepkg had worked in part the the .diff file was in the source directory. I ran md5 on that and it worked. However, new problem:
==> Starting build()...
/home/sl/abs/pillow/PKGBUILD: line 21: cd: cd /home/sl/abs/pillow/src/Pillow-2.3.0: No such file or directory
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().
Aborting...
However,
[sl@localhost pillow]$ cd /home/sl/abs/pillow/src/Pillow-2.3.0
[sl@localhost Pillow-2.3.0]$
Changing permissions to 777 didn't help.

Do we need to apply DST patches on ASM Home?

Hi there,
I have a question.
Do we have to apply DSTv11 patches and its inetrm patch (7695070) on ASM Home? We have 10.2.0.4 DB's on Sun Solaris and AIX boxes.
I would appreciate , if you could provide this information.
Thanks in advance,
RM.

I do not believe you can use the same HOME for ASM and database. AFAIK, ASM needs a dedicated HOME

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.

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:

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

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
