11.10.1 In-Place Grid Infrastructure Management Repository Patching

Use this procedure on each cluster node to perform in-place patching of Grid Infrastructure Management Repository (GIMR).

1. Download patches that you want to apply from My Oracle Support:
   https://support.oracle.com

   Select the Patches and Updates tab to locate the patch.

   Oracle recommends that you select Recommended Patch Advisor, and enter the product group, release, and platform for your software. My Oracle Support provides you with a list of the most recent Release Updates (RUs) and Release Update Revisions (RURs).

   Place the patches in an accessible directory, such as \tmp.

2. Review the patch documentation for the patch you want to apply, and complete all required steps.
3. As the grid user, run the following command:

   C:\> %ORACLE_HOME%\bin\mgmtprepatchbootstrap.pl apply inplace -patchHome BOOTSTRAP_LOCATION -sourceHome source_GIMR_home

   Where, BOOTSTRAP_LOCATION is the directory where the patch has been downloaded and source_GIMR_home is the Oracle home location.

   Note:

   Do not use slash (\) at the end of the path.
4. Change directory to the \OPatch directory in the target GIMR home. For example:

   C:\> cd GIMR_home\OPatch

5. Run the opatch apply command. For example:

   C:\> .\opatch apply patch_directory_location\patch_ID

6. Run the following command to apply the SQL patch:

   C:\> %ORACLE_HOME%\bin\mgmtca applyDatapatch -postPatchApply -id patchIDList

   Where, patchIDList is the list of GIMR patch IDs that you want to apply. The -id flag is optional.
