Adding Oracle9i Patches - using the command line

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) software (see Installing Oracle9i Release 2 binary locally from the command line). Before you install the Oracle patch, review the Patch Set Notes that accompany the patch set for instructions on installing the patch set and on performing the post install actions.

  Note   If you have installed Oracle9i Release 2 (9.2.0.1) software locally on each cluster node, perform step 5 on each node. If Oracle9i Release 2 is installed on cluster file system, perform step 5 only on the node where you are installing the patch.

1. Log in as superuser. If you are installing Oracle on CFS, log in on the node where the installation of Oracle9i Release 2 had initially been performed.
2. Verify that the library /opt/ORCLcluster/lib/libskgxn2.so is the correct one. As root user, use the following command, depending on the platform version.

   For 32-bit version:

   # cp /opt/VRTSvcs/rac/lib/libskgxn2_32.so \

   /opt/ORCLcluster/lib/libskgxn2.so

   For 64-bit version:

   # cp /opt/VRTSvcs/rac/lib/libskgxn2_64.so \

   /opt/ORCLcluster/lib/libskgxn2.so

3. Log in as Oracle user.
4. On each node where you plan to apply the patch, verify that the file $ORACLE_HOME/lib/libodm9.so is not linked to the Veritas library:

   $ ls -l $ORACLE_HOME/lib/libodm9.so

   The listing must look like:

   $ORACLE_HOME/lib/libodm9.so -> $ORACLE_HOME/lib/libodmd9.so

   If the listing is different, remove the link and create the required link:

   $ rm $ORACLE_HOME/lib/libodm9.so

   $ ln -s $ORACLE_HOME/lib/libodm9.so $ORACLE_HOME/lib/libodmd9.so

5. Use the Oracle documents accompanying the Oracle patches to install them. Choose all nodes where you intend to apply the patch.
6. Relink the SF Oracle RAC libraries to Oracle. Use the procedure Linking / copying SF Oracle RAC libraries to Oracle from the command line.
