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.

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.

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.

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:

OPatch succeeded.
So I've done some reading but still not sure what to do here. Do I:
- download newer patches 13004894 and 12942119 that are available for 11.2.0.3.9?
- roll back 13004894 and 12942119

- apply newer patches 13004894 and 12942119?

Patch 13004894 and Patch 12942119 are NOT included in Patch 17540582 so what you need to do is:
- Rollback Patch 13004894 and Patch 12942119
- Apply Patch 17540582
- Apply Patch 13004894 and Patch 12942119 (11.2.0.3.9)

PSU patch info for E business release 12.1.2.

Can some one please let me know the document or procedure which should refer to apply PSU patch for E business suite. Do we have to apply two patches separately for Ebusiness suite database - 11.2.0.3 and application server?
Please help. I need an immediate assistance.

Are you referring to PSU or CPU? -- https://forums.oracle.com/search.jspa?&q=PSU+AND+CPU

PSU patching and backup

Hello,
When applying PSU patches and other interim patches, would you guys say it's necessary to backup the Oracle Home in question and the central inventory before applying the patch?
I know that the patch is stored in the .patch_storage directory so that Opatch can roll it back at a later point. Would this suffice or do you recommend a separate backup of the binaries and inventory as well?
thanks.

thanks.Yes always.
If in case of relinking you have any issue. In less cases which cannot be rolledback.
So always take ORACLE_HOM & Inventory backup too when all services(instance & listeners..) are down,

Need to evaluate CPU or PSU patches

Hi,
Our business is on the way of migrating the databases. Before migrating the databases, we need to evaluate whether we need to apply CPU or PSU patches after migration.
If we are positive on applying CPU patches, then we will migrate the oracle_homes as well, as we have been applying CPU patches after every release.
In case if we are positive upon PSU patches, then we will be migrating only the databases.
So with this scenario, we need to evaluate whether we need CPU or PSU. I did a basic analysis and found that PSU contains the CPU plus non-security updates. Therefore applying PSU is beneficial. Also we cannot mixmatch the patches i.e. if we are applying CPU, then we have to apply only CPU patches and if we are applying PSU then we have to apply only PSU patches. However we still need to know further details which could be captured from the answers to below questions.
1. What are the risks and impacts of applying the patches.
2. When Oracle releases both CPU and PSU, on what basis can we evaluate whether we need CPU/PSU when we are applying for the 1st time.
3. If, after a period of time after applying patches, if we encounter any bugs and Oracle recommeds to apply a bug fix, what will be the implication that will be encountered if we have to apply on top of CPU or PSU patches.
4. Will any situation arise where we need to apply a CPU patch, when we already have been applying PSU patch. If so do we have to rollback all the PSU patches or only the
5. Do we need to install new oracle_home each time we are applying PSU patch
6. Are there any ways we can reduce downtime. Are these hot patches. We have reduced our downtime while applying CPU patches by applying through OEM. How do we knoe whether they are hot or cold patches
These are some of the questions. Maybe later on i may get more questions. But I would like to get a clear idea.
Note: I had to write this elaborately, so that I can make myself clear on the scenario and also to avoid redundancy while posting messages.
Thanks

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

Applying patch on RAC seetup

Dear all,
Tomorrow i need to apply a bug fix patch on my RAC Set up database.For that please tell me the step by step process , how to apply it.
it is 2 node RAC.
Database version : 10.2.0.4
OS:linux rhel5 i have couple of doubts on it.
1)For patch to apply , we need to down both the nodes and we have to apply that patch ( or ) making one node down and applying the patch on that node is enough to minimise the down time .
2)let me correct my steps are wrong.
Steps to down the database:
1.on both the nodes:
1.database down.
2.asm down
3.node apps down
2.intrim patch which we downloaded we have to keep it in oracle/home/bin/opatch directory on one of two nodes is enough.
3.set PATH environment variable
4.set HOME environment variable
5.Go to opatch folder , and go to patch number folder.
6.opatch apply
after that
7. node apps upp
8. asm upp
9. database upp. will do right.....no need to apply on both the nodes....applying on one node is enough right.
or else if any one of you have detailed documentation , please give the link here or mail to my id
[email protected] Regards,
Vamsi.

I have applied such patches several times. I am confident that I can apply any patch any time.
But sorry to say I can't tell you the steps, I'm afraid that I'll miss something. and the smallest mistake can make your activity miserable. There is no generic method to apply a CPU/PSU patch. Methods differ.
The best guide for you, is the readme attached with the patch.
The generic method to apply the patch (probably):
1. Be cool, calm and confident
2. Without being lazy, go through each and every line of the readme.
3. Put the steps on a notepad (your interpretation of the readme)
4. start the patch application process
I know I have not answered your question, but this is the way which I follow.
Regards,
S.K.
