PSU and One-off patching on GRID Home

Grid Infrastructure Version: 11.2.0.2
Question1.
Do you apply one-off patches for GI HOME? I have only applied PSUs on Grid Home . I have never applied a one-off patch on a Grid HOME.
So, I thought of downloading a GRID related one-off patch for AIX . So, I looked for
12767231 - AIX-11202-GIPC DISABLE SWITCH PORT FOR ONE PRIVATE NIC,HAIP DID NOT FAILOVERwhich is part of GI PSU 11.2.0.2.4 ( 12827731).
But when I searched for the one-off patch 12767231 in patch search in Metalink, I couldn't find the patch download for this particular bug.
I think you can apply this one-off patch only as a part of PSU. Right?
Question2.
Why on earth should I apply GI's PSU(or one-off patch) on RDBMS_HOME or vice versa?
RAC Databases run on the top of CRS stack.
Although related ,both GRID HOME and RDBMS HOME contain different binary files doing different things. So why should we apply GI's PSU/one-off patch on RDBMS_HOME and RDBMS_HOME's PSU on GRID Infrastructure HOME?
Question3.
We install grid using Grid Installer GUI. When doing a fresh installation of 11.2.0.2 or 11.2.0.3 in a new server , I want to apply its latest PSU as well. When should I do this PSU patching ?
A. Before running root.sh ?
One of last screens we get in Grid Installation is where the installer prompts you to run root.sh (see the screenshot below)
http://husnusensoy.files.wordpress.com/2009/10/camtasiastudio351.png
Should I do the PSU patching now ? ie just before executing root.sh ?
B. or After running root.sh ? ie. After the whole Grid Installation is succesfully complete ?

Hello There.
for question number 3. What I do is this:
1. Execute runinstaller for grid, choose to check for patches, and put those patches in a folder, the next install don't need to go to internet, and reuse the 2 downloaded patches avaliable as today for 11.2.0.3.
2. patch GI (Grid Infrastucture home)
3. Install DB Binaries, no db creation
4. Patch DB Binaries
5. Create DB using dbca.
hope this helps.

Interim patch and One-off patch

DB version : 11.2
In oracle terminology, Interim patch is same as one-off patch. Right?

Hi;
>
In oracle terminology, Interim patch is same as one-off patch. Right?An Interim Patch (formerly known as a “one-off” patch) is a bug fix (or set of fixes) made available to customers who for business reasons cannot wait until the next Patch Set or new product release to get a fix.

Has someone applied the one off patch for-ONS bug 5749953 SIGBUS ERROR

Hello all,
Env:: 10g on Soalris
I need to apply the one-off patch for
Bug:5749953 -- ONS SIGBUS ERROR AFTER INSTALL PATCHSET 10.2.0.3 FOR CRS
Usually for any CPU we issue opatch apply from the patch directory.
and its mentioned in the readme.html as well.
But for this one off patch, there isn't anything mentioned in the readme.html.
All it says is
# 6. Patch the Files
#    6.1 Patch the CRS home files
#    After unlocking any protected files and saving configuration settings
#    you are now ready to run opatch using the following command.
#    As the Oracle Clusterware (CRS) software owner;
#    % opatch apply -local -oh <CRS_HOME>
#    Note: In configuration A, invoke this only on one node.
#    6.2 Patch the RDBMS home files.
#    Alert: The RDBMS portion can only be applied to an RDBMS home that
#          has been upgraded to 10.2.0.3.0.
#    For additional information please read Note.363254.1;
#    Applying one-off Oracle Clusterware patches in a mixed version home
#    environment
#    As the RDBMS software owner;
#    % opatch apply custom/server/5749953 -local -oh <RDBMS_HOME>
#    Note: In configuration A, invoke this only on one node.Could someone let me know from where i should give 'opatch apply' if patch.zip files are unzipped in /export/home/oracle/5749953 ? TIA,
JJ

The patch can always be installed in 2 ways.
1. Do a cd and then run opatch
cd <patchlocation>
opatch apply
2. Else specify the patch location as an argument
opatch apply <full path to the patch i.e the one you do cd above> ...
Both the above styles yield same result.

Query Regarding Applying One-Off Patches

Hi,
We have plans of doing the following:
Upgrade the databases to 10.2.0.5.0
Apply the 10.2.0.5 PSU 3
Apply a list of one-off patches identified for our environment (which are not included in 10.2.0.5.3)
Query:
If the one-off patches identified to be applied in our environment are available only top of 10.2.0.5.0 and not for 10.2.0.5.3, then which of the following mentioned solutions should be proceed with considering :
Upgrade the database to 10.2.0.5.0, apply the one-off patches available on top of 10.2.0.5.0 and then apply the 10.2.0.5.0 PSU3
or
Upgrade the database to 10.2.0.5.0, apply the 10.2.0.5.0 PSU3, request for one-off patches on top of 10.2.0.5.3 and appy the same
Thanks and Regards,
Santosh

Are One-Off patches client specific?

Hi
Are One-Off patches client specific? I have a document which lists the patches applied to Oracle Home on existing server and I have to apply the same patches to a new server that I am building. I searched for all the patches listed but the "one-Off" patch listed cannot be found by the search.
Please let me know.

Hmm... maybe I should have provided a bit more info.
The server i am configuring is 10gR2 (client is still using this release and have extended support - so downloading patches should not be a problem). I have to move DBs from existing server to a new one. Before i do that, I have to install exact same binaries (rel and patches) that have been applied to existing server. The document I have been provided contains list of patches applied to oracle home (10.2.0.5). Among the list of patch numbers, this is the only one I could not find.
The do you have referred to is for 11g not 10g.
Regards
then you need to follow Srini's suggestion regarding cloning the oracle home.

Patch apply on Windows platforms which bundle one-off patches sets.

Dear All,
I need help from urgent basis, If you have document for patch apply on Windows platforms which bundle one-off patches sets.
For example 10.2.0.3 to Oracle Client patch (7117709) 10.2.0.4 .
Thanks for all

Each patch/patchset has a readme file. This file describes how to apply a patch.

Why the scan lister and listener configure/start from GRID home why not from Oracle Home.

Hi
why the scan lister and listener configure/start from GRID home why not from Oracle Home.

> why the scan lister and listener configure/start from GRID home why not from Oracle Home.
Because Oracle says that's the way it has to be.
As @MohaAGOU said, starting in 11gR2, the Listeners (both SCAN and traditional) are now cluster resources. Let's start with the SCAN Listener. There are only 3 of them, even if you have 4 or more nodes in the cluster. If a node goes down and a SCAN Listener were running on it, Grid Infrastructure will relocate the SCAN Listener to a surviving node. Much easier to do this if the entire resource were in the GI home. Note that an instance cannot be relocated and it is running on a different home.
As for the traditional listener. The Listener itself won't be relocated during a node termination, but its VIP will.
Cheers,
Brian

Whether DB restart required for applying one-off patch

Hi All
Whether we need to restart database, after applying one-off patch ( Patch no:6554634). The environment in Oracle 10g R2 on AIX on RAC.

What does the README instruct you to do...Normally it would advice you to restart ur database...
If it is RAC, which way are you applying the patch ??

Oracle one off patches for Oracle 10.2.0.4 on AIX

Are the AIX5L patches located at this web page below the same patches you should use for AIX 6.1?
https://websmp107.sap-ag.de/swcenter-3pmain
Database Patches -> Oracle -> Oracle 10.2.0.4 -> AIX5L (64-bit)

Yes.

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.

Why can I only see ten text messages? If i receive an 11th message it automatically knocks the last one off. Please help, it's driving me mad!!!

I have an Iphone 4s and my friends can see all text messages, going back years but I can only see the last ten. If I receive any more than 10 it just knocks the last dated ones off! I have not deleted any so if I haven't deleted any then they must be there but I can't access them. Somebody please help - i've tried everything and gone through every menu!!

I have had a similiar issue with this as well. It gets even scetcher when you create the file extension dynamically.
Technically if one is clever they can create something like this and make the file extension and output format dynamic. What ends up happening is the file extension will get stripped.
I logged a tar with oracle. Kevin in support told me to upgrade to the latest one off patch, I did. The issue still persisted. Kevin then stated, using the java api's is unsupported sucks to be me huh.
Example:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xapi:requestset xmlns:xapi="http://xmlns.oracle.com/oxp/xapi" type="bursting">
<xapi:request select="/XXBOL_POXPRPOP/LIST_G_INIT_INFO/G_INIT_INFO/LIST_G_HEADERS/G_HEADERS">
<xapi:delivery>
<xapi:filesystem id="save1" output="/u20/app/DUVS1/apduvs1/applmgr/apps/apps_st/appl/xxbol/1.0.0/temp/bursted/Output_${POH_PO_NUM}.${FILE_EXT}"/>
</xapi:delivery>
<xapi:document output-type="${FILE_OUPUT_FORMAT}" delivery="save1">
<xapi:template type="xsl-fo" location="xdo://XXBOL.XXBOL_POXPRPOP_TP1.en.GB"/>
</xapi:document>
</xapi:request>
</xapi:requestset>
Anyways, it seems like whenever there is an error or mistake anywhere pdf is defaulted (just like you said). It would be much better if it just bombed.
For the sake of doubt try changing it to:
/XXBOL_POXPRPOP/LIST_G_INIT_INFO/G_INIT_INFO/LIST_G_HEADERS/G_HEADERS/POH_PO_NUM
There is zero doubt this node and value should be available to the burster. If that doesn't work it's tar time. Verify the xpath is good in cooktop or xml spy.

Need help on applying PSU 9 patch on Grid and Rac

Hi Gurus,
Oracle Version : 11.2.0.2
Operating System : linux x_64
Here we got p14841385_112020_GI_PSU9Linux-x86-64.zip from applying PSU 9 patch on our four node rac.
Steps we follow.
1.) Bringing DB instance 1 and AMS instance 1 down.
2.) stoping Cluster on node 1 as root user
(crsctl stop crs -n node1)
3.) applying PUS patch.
My doubt in read me file is
•Case 1: Patching Oracle RAC or Oracle RAC One Node Database Homes and the GI Home Together
•Case 2: Patching Oracle RAC or Oracle RAC One Node Database Homes
•Case 3: Patching GI Home Alone
•Case 4: Patching Oracle Restart Home
•Case 5: Patching a Software Only GI Home Installation
•Case 6: Patching a Software Only Oracle RAC or Oracle RAC One Node Home InstallationHere we in bit confussion which case we need consider case 3 or case 5.
We are haing another PSU 9 patch for oracle also.
Please help me how to proceed .
Thanks & Regards,
Venkata Poorna Prasad.S

Hi Venkata,
Case 3 you need to being down complete database as it will patch all node of the cluster by reading cluster configuration files from Grid Infrastructure.
Case 5 you can patch each node locally keeping other cluster db nodes up

Its been one month, my iphone 4's display is completely blackout and even its battery is not charging. I tried to restart my iPhone by pressing home and on/off button but it is also not worked. Now I'm in Nepal and here not even a single apple service center. What to do? Please help me.

You clearly did not notice that you have joined a USER TO USER COMMUNITY FORUM
This is NOT Apple ,Apple do not read nor do they therefore respond
So if you would like to wind your neck in ........................
try a reset of iPhone and then a restore,best, as new and if it then functions correctly try restoring with your backup
