I will use the latest October 2016 PSU patch as a test case for this post...
Environment:
Server/OS - HP UX Itanium (11.31)
2 Node RAC - no ACFS, no shared homes, ASM is used
Method of applying patches -
Fully Manual
Non-Rolling
Why?
- better control,
- non-availability of bash in our HP UX servers which is required to run opatchauto
What do should know about the October PSU patch for RAC?
OCW PSU patch number -- 23854735
DB PSU patch number -- 24006101
Below are very very simple steps to rollback the patches in your environment:
DB HOME:
opatch nrollback -local -id 24006101 -oh $ORACLE_HOME
cd /u01/software/psuoct2016/12cGI/24412235/23854735/custom/scripts
./prepatch.sh
opatch nrollback -local -id 23854735 -oh $ORACLE_HOME
./postpatch.sh
GRID HOME:
$GRID_HOME/crs/install/rootcrs.pl -prepatch [-nonrolling]
opatch nrollback -local -id 24006101 -oh $GRID_HOME
opatch nrollback -local -id 23854735 -oh $GRID_HOME
$GRID_HOME/crs/install/rootcrs.pl -postpatch [-nonrolling]
Use -nonrolling only if you have patched using the nonrolling mode.
Hope this helps!
Cheers
