Apply PSU to Rac 12c on AIX7.1 (not pluggable database environment)

Recently I had opportunity to apply PSU to a rac environment in 12cR1 (not pluggable database architecture) on AIX7.1. The steps I followed are the next one:

1.- Make sure that I have the Opatch last version  (OPatch Version: 12.2.0.1.8) on all nodes (same version)
2.- Download PSU 24917825 for RAC Infra.
3.- Download PSU 24732082 for databases
4.- Take backup of ORACLE_HOME of Databases and Grid Infraestructure (also of your OraInventory) for all nodes (I suggest )

I have my install medios in the path: /u01/medios/ for my environments
(same Path on all nodes)

The PSU application on RAC nodes  can be performed  different ways. I choose this method and I will explain  you.

Apply PSU for Infraestructure GRID


The steps are the following (to do with grid user):

cd /u01/medios
unzip p24917825_121020_AIX64-5L.zip   

Note: For Opatch version 12.2.0.1.8 is not necessary to create response File with emocmrsp command.

This steps to do with root user but you will get error OPATCHAUTO-72046: Invalid wallet parameters (Doc ID 2150070.1). Here we will review patch conflicts:

export ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/12.1.0/grid
/u01/app/12.1.0/grid/OPatch/opatchauto apply /u01/medios/24917825 –analyze


If there are not patch conflicts we can proceed to apply patch to Infra. I remember you that this patch is rolling installable. I take 30’ minutes to apply (with root user):


[nodo01]#> export ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/12.1.0/grid
[nodo01]#>export export PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/OPatch
[nodo01]#>/u01/app/12.1.0/grid/OPatch/opatchauto apply /u01/medios/24917825  -oh /u01/app/12.1.0/grid

Now is necessary to repeat same process  with all rest of nodes. When we have the Grid Infraestructure on all nodes with the same version, we can to apply the psu to database software.

Apply PSU to database software


Just like te previous situation, this part is rolling installation. We will start with the node one. First step is shutdown all db service in that node: (all following command with oracle user)
srvctl stop instance -d  database –I instance_name
Then we’ll check Patch conflict:

[nodo01]#>cd /u01/medios/24732082
[nodo01]#>opatch prereq CheckConflictAgainstOHWithDetail -ph ./


If all previous results fine, we’ll proceed with apply the database PSU:

[nodo01]#>cd  /u01/medios/24732082
[nodo01]#>opatch  apply

Patching in rolling mode.

Remaining nodes to be patched:
'cmh-racn2' 'cmh-racn3' 'cmh-racn4'
What is the next node to be patched?



In that part the installation will ask us a question about which is the name of next hostname of Rac for the appy PSU. In this moment we will start again the database service only in this node (node 1), while we need shutdown the database service in the next one node (nodo2). When we have the instance up in the node 1 and down the service in the node , we can proceed with the installer.

When we have finished the installation on all nodes, we need to load the modified sql into the database.

Load modified sql into database (datapatch)

This is only necessary to apply once time, preferably node 1 with user oracle:


cd $ORACLE_HOME/OPatch
$ ./datapatch -verbose

And now when we execute query to catalog we can see that our database is update with the last PSU:


We can to do the same with de oraInventory  for the grid and database ORACLE_HOME:

Remains to explain what will happen with respect to OJVM upgrade. (I’ll have soon)

Bye : )
