Patching Oracle Grid Infrastructure Using the Non-Rolling Method

You can use the -nonrolling parameter with the rhpctl move gihome command, which restarts the Oracle Grid Infrastructure stack on all nodes in parallel.

As with the rolling method, this is an atomic command which returns after all nodes are online.

Note:

The non-rolling patching method is available only if there is just one cluster node. If there are multiple nodes, then there is an error suggesting to use the rolling patching method.
  • Use the following command to patch Oracle Grid Infrastructure in an non-rolling fashion:
    $ rhpctl move gihome –sourcewc Grid_home_1 –destwc Grid_home_2 -nonrolling
