Step by step patch apply in RAC node

=====================================

1. Verify that the Oracle Inventory is properly configured in both home( crs and
RDBMS home)

opatch lsinventory -detail -oh <CRS_HOME>

opatch lsinventory -detail -oh <RDBMS_HOME>

2. Unzip the patch

unzip p12639163_112010_AIX-5L.zip

3. Stop the CRS managed resources running from DB homes using

<RDBMS_HOME>/bin/srvctl stop home -o <RDBMS_HOME> -s <status file location>

/tmp/oracle_home.stat -n <node_name>

4. After that unlock the Grid Infrastructure home

<CRS_HOME>/crs/install/rootcrs.pl -unlock

5. Save the RDBMS home configuration settings

custom/server/12639163/custom/scripts/prepatch.sh -dbhome <RDBMS_HOME>

Patch the CRS home files

opatch napply -local -oh <CRS_HOME> -id 12639163

Patch the RDBMS home files.

opatch napply custom/server/ -local -oh <RDBMS_HOME> -id 12639163

Configure the RDBMS HOME

custom/server/12639163/custom/scripts/postpatch.sh -dbhome <RDBMS_HOME>

<CRS_HOME>/crs/install/rootcrs.pl -patch

start the CRS managed resources running from DB homes using

<DB_HOME>/bin/srvctl start home -o <DB_HOME> -s <status file location> -n <node

name>
On success you can determine whether the patch has been installed by

# using the following command;

opatch lsinventory -detail -oh <CRS_HOME>

opatch lsinventory -detail -oh <RDBMS_HOME>
