Steps to apply cpu patch on RAC

Hi All,
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.
Regards.

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

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.

What are the steps to apply Oracle Patch?

What are the steps to apply Oracle Patch?

Hi,
apply patch != apply patchset
Generally, patch is apply with opatch tool (from 9i), and there is an exe for patchset.
But, as it already said, the reading of readme is always a good idea...

Applying CPU patch on dbs at separate oracle homes

These etcoratab entry shows that these 3 DBs are on different home, to apply cpu patch on one db i dont need to run off other db right?
# *:/w01/app/oracle/product/920:N
cflnp:/w01/app/oracle/product/920:Y
# *:/b01/app/oracle/product/920:N
cimgp:/b01/app/oracle/product/920:Y
# *:/u01/app/oracle/product/920:N
ccntp:/u01/app/oracle/product/920:Y

These etcoratab entry shows that these 3 DBs are on
different home, to apply cpu patch on one db i dont
need to run off other db right?Yes , you need to shutdown database for which(oracle_home) you applying patch only

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.

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.

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.

To be able to download the CPU, you need your metalink credentials. No one here can send you the patch.
Steps for applying the patch are documented in the readme file bundled in the patch itself.

Steps to apply patch 4632932

Hi All,
I need to apply patch 4632932.
Could you please give me the steps?
Thanks

README for 4632932
This fix is only applicable to Linux environments.
This patch enables you to set the environment variable LD_PRELOAD on Linux platform when you source APPSORA.env. This setting is required for running E-Business Suite on Linux x86 platforms.
Steps to apply the patch:
- Stop all application services (keep the database and the database listener up and running)
- Download the patch from Metalink
- Copy the patch file to any directory (i.e. /u04/patches)
- As 'applmgr' do the folowing:
- $ cd /u04/patches
- Type 'unzip p4632932_11i_GENERIC.zip'
- cd 4632932
- Type 'adpatch'

Database rolling upgrade cpu patch with minimal service outage

Oracle 11gR2 Primary Instance
Oracle 11gR2 Active Physical Standby
Requirement of applying CPU and CVE patches with minimal downtime. I believe that I've been able to apply CPU patch to Active Standby after deferring redo transport and applying patch to active physical standby first and then performing a manual switchover to have the standby become the primary and former-primary become the standby and they apply CPU Patch there and then perform another role transition to its original role.
Appreciate your experience with primary and active physical standby rolling upgrades/patches. Thanks

Hello;
I believe you are over thinking this. All you have to do on the Standby is install the patch. No switchover, no SQL. No nothing.
The SQL will move from the Primary to the Standby.
Check the readme for the patch closely or post the patch number if you want to confirm.
OR
How do you apply a Patchset,PSU or CPU in a Data Guard Physical Standby configuration [ID 278641.1]
( If it helps I had the same thoughts after my first Data Guard setup !! )
If you are trying to avoid downtime entirely the switchover will take about as long as the patch.
If you have RAC this is interesting :

Hi,
i dont understand why path is changing
E:\inloc\ILP\patch\6410725\backup\patch / 115 / sql
1)did u give correct path of patch directory when installing patch?
2)are u installing the patch from inside the patch directory?if not do it and check
3)give full permission to everyone on the patch directory
Regards
