Adding Oracle9i R2 patches - using the installer

Use the following procedure to add Oracle9i Release 2 patches to your node if you have installed Oracle, but have not yet configured Oracle in your cluster. To install Oracle9i Release 2 Patch software, you must have installed Oracle9i Release 2 (9.2.0.1). Before installing the Oracle patch, review the Patch Set Notes that accompany the patch set for instructions on installing the patch set and performing the post-installation operations.

 To apply Oracle9i R2 patches (for example, 9.2.0.7)

1. Launch the SF Oracle RAC Configuration program:

   # installsfrac -configure

2. Select Install or relink Oracle software.
3. Select the base version of Oracle software (Oracle9iR2).
4. Select Install Oracle RDBMS server to install Oracle patches.
5. Enter the DISPLAY environment variable required for the Oracle Universal Installer. For example, use "10.180.94.84:0.0."
6. Enter the Oracle user name. For example, use "oracle."
7. Enter the Oracle group name. For example, use "dba."
8. Enter the absolute path of the patch image. This is the path to the CD-ROM where the Oracle software resides. For example, specify For example, /oraimage/9207/Disk1.
9. Enter the Oracle base directory. For example, use /oracle.
10. Enter the Oracle bits (for example, "32").
11. Complete the installer wizard and keep in mind these points:
    • When runInstaller prompts you to run the script /tmp/orainstRoot.sh, make sure the script exists on each node before proceeding. If so, skip to running the /tmp/orainstRoot.sh script on each node.
    • If the /tmp/orainstRoot.sh script does not exist on each node, copy the script from the first node to each of the other cluster nodes.
    • Run the /tmp/orainstRoot.sh script on each node.
