2 Prerequisites
To ensure there is enough space available, out-of-place patching adds a new Oracle home next to the existing Oracle home. For further information, refer to My Oracle Support document KB137807 How to Perform ORACLE_HOME Backup?.
For opatch utility, refer to Oracle document Single-Instance Oracle Database Maintenance with OPatch.
3 Installation
These instructions are for all Oracle AI Database installations.
Before you install Grid Infrastructure Release Update 23.26.4.0.0, refer to document KB135057 How to Use the My Oracle Support Conflict Checker Tool for Patches Installed with OPatch for additional information on how to check the environment and how to detect and resolve any interim patch conflicts.
You can install Oracle Grid Infrastructure Patch in one of two ways:
Patch Installation Instructions for Grid Home Using Oracle FPP
Patch Installation Instructions for Grid Home Using gridSetup
3.1 Patch Installation Instructions for Grid Home Using Oracle FPP
To prepare for the software update, download the Oracle Fleet Patching and Provisioning (Oracle FPP) Gold Image:
Download the Gold Image that you have built to your system. As Grid user, deploy a new target software home using the following Oracle FPP command:
$ cd <gi_home>/bin
$ rhpctl deploy home -path dest_path -zip gold_image.zipWhere
dest_pathis the destination path for the new empty pre-created directory for the new Grid home, andgold_imageis the image name.Run precheck for the Apply software update. To prevent issues during the patch operation, run a precheck evaluation for moving Oracle Grid Infrastructure to the new software home using the following Oracle FPP command:
$ rhpctl move gihome -eval -sourcehome gi_home -desthome dest_pathWhere
gi_homeis the source Grid home anddest_pathis the target Grid home.For details about the
move ... -evalcommand options for Oracle Grid Infrastructure, refer to the Oracle Fleet Patching and Provisioning Administrator's Guide.Apply the RU update, moving the Oracle Grid Infrastructure to the new home. Move Oracle Grid Infrastructure to the new software home using the following Oracle FPP command:
$ rhptl move gihome -sourcehome gi_home -desthome dest_pathWhere
gi_homeis the source Grid home anddest_pathis the target Grid home.For Oracle RAC environments, refer to the instructions in the Oracle AI Database Recommended Patch Maintenance for Oracle Real Application Clusters.
3.2 Patch Installation Instructions for Grid Home Using gridSetup
Create a new directory for the Target Grid Home on Node 1.
Download and unzip the Gold Image file
p40014665_230000_Linux-x86-64.zipto the Target Grid Home directory<TARGET_GRID_HOME>on Node 1. This directory must be empty and cannot be/tmp.The directory should have read permission for the
ORA_INSTALLgroup.Run the following commands:
$ cd <TARGET_GRID_HOME>
$ unzip p40014665_230000_Linux-x86-64.zipTo install software only on Grid home, run:
$ <TARGET_GRID_HOME>/gridSetup.shTo switch the Grid services from the source home to the target home, run:
$ <TARGET_GRID_HOME>/gridSetup.sh -switchgridhome
4 Deinstallation
These instructions apply if you need to deinstall the patch.
You can deinstall Oracle Grid Infrastructure Patch in one of two ways:
Patch Deinstallation Instructions for Grid Home Using Oracle FPP
Patch Deinstallation Instructions for Grid Home Using gridSetup
4.1 Patch Deinstallation Instructions for Grid Home Using Oracle FPP
To deinstall Grid home, run the following command:
$ <grid_home>/bin/rhpctl move gihome -sourcehome source_home -desthome dest_path
Where dest_path is the recently patched Grid home and source_home is the original Grid home to where you want to move the GI stack back to. (Note: This is applicable after a successful Grid Infrastructure patch has been done and you want to rollback to the previous Grid home.)
For Oracle Real Application Clusters database patch rollback, refer to document Oracle AI Database Recommended Patch Maintenance for Oracle Real Application Clusters.
