Download latest OPatch (v 12.2.0.1.39) from [link] (https://updates.oracle.com/ARULink/PatchDetails/process_form?patch_num=6880880 ) given the README of the patch.




Steps for Patching

Login using grid user:

su - grid
Create a folder where the patch and OPatch software to be downloaded and extracted
mkdir /home/grid/dbpatch

OPatch installation will go first. Take backup of existing OPatch folder from $ORACLE_HOME directory.

Installation of OPatch Using Grid User

sudo su - grid
backup OPatch as OPatch.org
cd $ORACLE_HOME
mv OPatch OPatch.org

Go to patch folder /home/grid/dbpatch

cd /home/grid/dbpatch
unzip p6880880_122010_Linux-x86-64.zip $ORACLE_HOME/

check if everything is fine
opatch version

This command should run without any issue and it should give you version of OPatch as : 12.2.0.1.39

if everything is fine, take inventory list :

opatch lsinventory -detail -Oh $ORACLE_HOME  > /home/grid/GridInventoryListPreUpgrade.txt

OPatch installation will go first. Take backup of existing OPatch folder from $ORACLE_HOME directory.

Installation of OPatch Using Oracle User

sudo su - oracle
backup OPatch as OPatch.org
cd $ORACLE_HOME
mv OPatch OPatch.org

Go to patch folder /home/grid/dbpatch

cd /home/grid/orclsoft
unzip p6880880_122010_Linux-x86-64.zip $ORACLE_HOME/

check if everything is fine
opatch version

This command should run without any issue and it should give you version of OPatch as : 12.2.0.1.39

if everything is fine, take inventory list :

opatch lsinventory -detail -Oh $ORACLE_HOME  > /home/oracle/OraInventoryListPreUpgrade.txt

Unzip Patch 35319490 in folder /home/grid/orclsoft

unzip p35319490_190000_Linux-x86-64.zip -d /home/grid/orclsoft/

Check conflicts with patch :

 sudo su - grid
 $ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/opatch prereq CheckConflictAgainstOHWithDetail -phBaseDir /home/grid/orclsoft/35319490/35320081 
 $ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/opatch prereq CheckConflictAgainstOHWithDetail -phBaseDir /home/grid/orclsoft/35319490/35320149  
 $ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/opatch prereq CheckConflictAgainstOHWithDetail -phBaseDir /home/grid/orclsoft/35319490/35332537  
 $ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/opatch prereq CheckConflictAgainstOHWithDetail -phBaseDir /home/grid/orclsoft/35319490/35553096 
 $ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/opatch prereq CheckConflictAgainstOHWithDetail -phBaseDir /home/grid/orclsoft/35319490/33575402 

Same with Oracle User:

 sudo su - oracle
 $ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/opatch prereq CheckConflictAgainstOHWithDetail -phBaseDir /home/oracle/orclsoft/35319490/35320081 
 $ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/opatch prereq CheckConflictAgainstOHWithDetail -phBaseDir /home/oracle/orclsoft/35319490/35320149 

Validate if /tmp has free space:

Login with grid user

  sudo su - grid

Create a file in /tmp folder:

vi /tmp/patch_list_gihome.txt

/home/grid/orclsoft/35319490/35320081
/home/grid/orclsoft/35319490/35320149
/home/grid/orclsoft/35319490/35332537
/home/grid/orclsoft/35319490/35553096
/home/grid/orclsoft/35319490/33575402

Execute checking space command:

sudo su - grid
$ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/opatch prereq CheckSystemSpace -phBaseFile /tmp/patch_list_gihome.txt

Validate if /tmp has free space for Oracle user:

Login with oracle user

  sudo su - oracle

Create a file in /tmp folder:

vi /tmp/patch_list_dbhome.txt

/home/oracle/orclsoft/35319490/35320081
/home/oracle/orclsoft/35319490/35320149

Execute checking space command:

sudo su - oracle
$ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/opatch prereq CheckSystemSpace -phBaseFile /tmp/patch_list_dbhome.txt

Note: Skip step 2.1.2 as there are no conflicts

Note: Skip step 2.1.3 as We don't have clustered installed. We have only binaries

Now the environment is ready for patching. We can start patching grid home.

Login with root

su -

export PATH=$PATH:/u01/app/19.0.0/grid/OPatch

validate opatch and opatchauto is working here with root user:

opatch version
opatchauto version

if everything looks fine, apply the patch on grid home using:

opatchauto apply /home/grid/orclsoft/35319490 -oh /u01/app/19.0.0/grid
This will provide output at the end like:


if the patch returned successful, the validation can be done by logging into sqlplus as:

 sqlplus / as sysasm

This should return:



Patching on Grid home done, let's move to patching oracle home
Open new Terminal and Login with root

su -

export PATH=$PATH:/u01/app/oracle/product/19.0.0/db_1/OPatch

validate opatch and opatchauto is working here with root user:

opatch version
opatchauto version

if everything looks fine, apply the patch on grid home using:

opatchauto apply /home/oracle/orclsoft/35319490 -oh /u01/app/oracle/product/19.0.0/db_1

This will provide output at the end like:

if the patch returned successful, the validation can be done by logging into sqlplus as:

 sqlplus / as sysadmin

This should return:
