the specific machine that are running from the ORACLE_HOME.
OPatch will be used on each node in the RAC system one at
a time. If this patch is not rolling RAC installable treat
it as a non-RAC environment and shut down all services.
As an example, in the case of a two node RAC system:
1. Stop instances running on node 1.
2. Run 'opatch apply
3. When the apply finishes, opatch asks for confirmation
before going on to apply the patch to node 2.
4. Start instances on node 1.
5. Stop instances running on node 2.
6. Ask opatch to continue to applying the patch to node 2.
7. Start instances on node 2.
9. Apply pre-requisite updates.
Patch Installation Steps:
-------------------------
1. Set your current directory to the directory where the patch is located.
% cd
2. Apply the patch.
Use the following command to apply the patch to the ORACLE_HOME:
% opatch apply
When OPatch starts, it will validate the patch and make sure there
are no conflicts with the software already installed in the ORACLE_HOME.
OPatch categorizes two types of conflicts:
(a) Conflicts with a patch already applied to the ORACLE_HOME
In this case, please stop the patch installation and contact
Oracle Support Services.
(b) Conflicts with subset patch already applied to the ORACLE_HOME
In this case, please continue the install, as the new patch
contains all the fixes from the existing patch in the ORACLE_HOME.
The subset patch will automatically be rolled back prior to the
installation of the new patch.
Patch Post Install Instructions:
--------------------------------
Patch Deinstallation Instructions:
----------------------------------
1. Make sure to follow the same pre-install steps when deinstalling
a patch. This includes verifying the inventory and shutting down
any services running from the ORACLE_HOME / machine before rolling
the patch back.
2. Change to the directory where the patch was unzipped.
% cd
3. Run OPatch to deinstall the patch.
% opatch rollback -id 8670579
注意opatch命令是在$ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/目录下,环境变量PATH中没有包含该目录的话,直接敲入opatch命令是提示找不到改命令的,这时需要将该目录加入到PATH中.
