This note details the process of applying the Grid Infrastructure 12.1.0.2 PSU Jan 2015 patch on a two node Linux x86-64 RAC cluster.
The patch required is 19954978 and this in turn will apply the 19769480 patch to the database home as well.
The patch is rolling applicable and so involves minimal downtime.
Before applying the patch we need to do a couple of things first (on both nodes).
- Ensure opatch is a minimum version of 12.1.0.1.5 on both the Grid as well as Database home on both nodes.
[oracle@rac1 OPatch]$ ./opatch version
OPatch Version: 12.1.0.1.6
OPatch succeeded.
- Create an OCM response file – again on both nodes
[oracle@rac1 dbhome_1]$ echo $ORACLE_HOME
/u02/app/oracle/product/12.1.0/dbhome_1
[oracle@rac1 dbhome_1]$ $ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/ocm/bin/emocmrsp -no_banner -output /tmp/file.rsp

The OCM configuration response file (/tmp/file.rsp) was successfully created.
- Create a directory for the PSU patch – make sure the directory has no contents.
[oracle@rac1 dbhome_1]$ cd /u02/oracle/software/
[oracle@rac1 software]$ mkdir GI_PSU_JAN15
[oracle@rac1 software]$ cd GI_PSU_JAN15/
[oracle@rac1 GI_PSU_JAN15]$ mv /media/sf_software/p19954978_121020_Linux-x86-64.zip .

Ensure that you have enough disk space for the Jan 2015 PSU!!
Although the patch is around 800 MB, when we unzip the patch it occupies over 3 GB of disk space. In addition the patch application requires over 12 GB of free disk space on the Grid Infrastructure home and over 5 GB of free space for the Database home.
Otherwise the patch will fail with an error like the one shown below:
