Patching Oracle Grid Infrastructure Using Oracle FPP Lite Configuration

When you install Oracle Grid Infrastructure or when you upgrade an older version to the current version, the Oracle FPP Lite is configured automatically.

• The Oracle FPP Lite configuration for patching Oracle Grid Infrastructure performs all of the steps necessary to switch from one home to another.

  $ rhpctl move gihome -desthome destination_oracle_home_path {–sourcehome Oracle_home_path
  [-ignorecvuprecheck] [-ignorecvupostcheck] [-skipcvuprecheck] [-skipcvupostcheck] [-tgip -nodriverupdate]}

Where:

• -ignorecvuprecheck and -ignorecvupostcheck ignore CVU prechecks and postcheks respectively.
• -skipcvuprecheck and -skipcvupostcheck skips CVU prechecks and postcheks respectively.
• -tgip performs transparent move of the Oracle Grid Infrastructure home.
• -nodriverupdate skips patching the drivers if the patch contains a driver patch.

Note:

The -tgip and -nodriverupdate parameters are available only for Oracle FPP Lite.

Note:

• During Oracle FPP Lite patching, you must run the patching command only on the first node. The patching completes automatically on all other nodes.
• If any command fails in the first run, then you must re-run the command from the same node where it was started initially.

Use the rhpctl move gihome command parameters for the patching operation.
