OPatchAuto failed.

Solution:

Ensure unzip of the patch as grid home owner before running opatchauto from root user.

As a workaround, execute the below command as the <grid home owner> to fix the file permissions on unzipped patch location and re-run opatchauto from root user.

chmod -R 775 <unzipped patch location>
