Step 5: Patch the Shared Storage (Optional)

Use this procedure to patch the shared storage now, or to patch the shared storage during a maintenance window.

Patching the storage requires downtime when shared components are being patched. If a failure occurs, then you can restart the patching process by reissuing the same command.

Start the storage patching command only on one node (Node 0). The command patches storage for both nodes at the same time.

1. Log into Node 0 as the root user.
2. Run the command oakcli update -patch version --storage, where version is the patch set bundle version.

   For example:

   #/opt/oracle/oak/bin/oakcli update -patch 12.1.2.7.0 --storage
   

The storage patch runs, and automatically installs itself on both nodes. The output displayed by the patch process advises you of the installation progress. If you are running this step in sequence, then wait for the patch to complete before proceeding to the next step.
