I’ve just applied PSU1 to our Oracle Enterprise Manager Cloud Control 12c Release 2 (12.1.0.2) Production environment in a matter of minutes, so I thought I’d post how straight forward it was 🙂
Download patch 14840279 (PSU) and 6880880 (latest OPatch v11.1.0.0.0) to a convenient location on your OMS server(s), such as /tmp.
Set your environment variables:
export MW_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/middleware/oms12c export ORACLE_HOME=$MW_HOME/oms export PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/OPatch export PATCH_TOP=$ORACLE_HOME/Patches
Create your PATCH_TOP directory:
mkdir $PATCH_TOP
Update OPatch to the latest version:
unzip -d $ORACLE_HOME /tmp/p6880880_111000_Linux-x86-64.zip
Check OPatch has been updated correctly:
opatch version
Unzip the patch:
unzip -d $PATCH_TOP /tmp/p14840279_121020_Generic.zip cd $PATCH_TOP/14840279
Check for any conflicting patches (take a look at MOS 854428.1 & 965556.1 if there are):
opatch prereq CheckConflictAgainstOHWithDetail -phBaseDir .
Shutdown your OMS(es):
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/emctl stop oms
Leave the EM repository database, and it’s listener up and running, and make sure you take a full backup of your database, and of your OMS installation at this point!
tar -cvf /u01/app/oracle/oms12c-pre-psu1.tar /u01/app/oracle/middleware/oms12c
Apply the patch to your OMS (only takes a few mins):
opatch apply
Once the patch has been applied successfully, if you have other OMSes, apply the same patches (don’t forget OPatch) to those, and then continue with the post_deploy.sh script below…
Grant executable permission to the post_deploy.sh script (this wasn’t done by default!):
cd $PATCH_TOP/14840279 chmod +x post_deploy.sh
Run the post patch script, entering the path of the patch directory and SYSMAN password when prompted:
./post_deploy.sh Please enter Patch Location: /u01/app/oracle/middleware/oms12c/oms/Patches/14840279 Please enter SYSMAN password: ****
Monitor it’s progress by tailing the log file supplied (about 5 mins):
tail -f /u01/app/oracle/middleware/oms12c/oms/Patches/14840279/log/*.log
Restart the OMSes:
$ORACLE_HOME/bin/emctl start oms
