Adding Oracle 10g patches

Before installing Oracle 10g Patch software,

Review the procedure to add Oracle 10g patches to your node if you have installed Oracle, but have not yet configured Oracle in your cluster.

 To install Oracle 10g patches

  1. Log in as oracle user.
  2. On one node, create the directory where you intend to copy the Oracle 10g patch software. For example:

    $ mkdir /oracle/patch

    $ cd /oracle/patch

  3. Copy all files included with the downloaded Oracle 10g patch software to the /oracle/patch.

  4. On each node, edit the .rhosts file to provide the other node access to the local system during the installation.

    Place a "+ +" character in the first line of the file. You can remove this permission after the patch installation is complete.

  5. Set the DISPLAY variable. Do one of the following:

     

    Bourne Shell (sh or ksh) 

    $ DISPLAY=host:0.0;export DISPLAY

    C Shell (csh or tcsh) 

    $ setenv DISPLAY host:0.0

  8. In the Node Selection dialog box, select all nodes for installation to install the patches on local disks of each node.

    If you are installing Oracle 10g patches on a local file system, install the software by invoking the installer on each node, one node at a time.
