1. You must use the OPatch utility version 12.2.0.1.28 or later to apply this patch

Download p6880880_190000_Linux-x86-64.zip – OPatch 12.2.0.1.28 for DB 19.0.0.0.0 (Nov 2021), or later.

Replace existing opatch with the new one:

# export ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/19c/grid
# rm -rf $ORACLE_HOME/OPatch
# su - grid 
$ export ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/19c/grid
$ unzip -o /u01/swtmp/p6880880_190000_Linux-x86-64.zip -d $ORACLE_HOME

$ $ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/opatch version
OPatch Version: 12.2.0.1.28

2. Unzip the patch 33509923 as the Grid home owner:

# su - grid
$ cd /u01/swtmp
$ unzip p33509923_190000_Linux-x86-64.zip

3. Determine whether any currently installed one-off patches conflict with this patch 33509923 as follows:

# su - grid

$ $ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/opatch prereq CheckConflictAgainstOHWithDetail -phBaseDir /u01/swtmp/33509923/33515361

Oracle Home       : /u01/app/19c/grid
Central Inventory : /u01/app/oraInventory
   from           : /u01/app/19c/grid/oraInst.loc
OPatch version    : 12.2.0.1.28
OUI version       : 12.2.0.7.0
Log file location : /u01/app/19c/grid/cfgtoollogs/opatch/opatch2022-01-31_11-58-55AM_1.log

Invoking prereq "checkconflictagainstohwithdetail"
Prereq "checkConflictAgainstOHWithDetail" passed.
OPatch succeeded.

$ $ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/opatch prereq CheckConflictAgainstOHWithDetail -phBaseDir /u01/swtmp/33509923/33529556

$ $ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/opatch prereq CheckConflictAgainstOHWithDetail -phBaseDir /u01/swtmp/33509923/33534448

$ $ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/opatch prereq CheckConflictAgainstOHWithDetail -phBaseDir /u01/swtmp/33509923/33239955

$ $ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/opatch prereq CheckConflictAgainstOHWithDetail -phBaseDir /u01/swtmp/33509923/33575402

In case conflict is detected, stop the patch installation and contact Oracle Support Services, otherwise continue.

4. Stop database instances running on that server.

5. Apply patch using opatchauto:

# cd /u01/swtmp/33509923/
# export ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/19c/grid/
# export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH
# $ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/opatchauto apply
...

The home is not clean. This home cannot be used since there was a failed OPatch execution in this home. Use a different home to proceed

January 6, 2022 Leave a comment

Problem:

While installing Oracle software using applyRU:

$ /u01/app/oracle/product/19.3.0/dbhome_1/runInstaller -silent -applyRU /u01/swtmp/32895426/32904851/ -responseFile /opt/rsp/db_19.3_EE_swonlyinstall.rsp -ignorePrereqFailure -waitforcompletion

Got an error:

ERROR: The home is not clean. This home cannot be used since there was a failed OPatch execution in this home. Use a different home to proceed.

Solution:

If a previous attempt to install Oracle software using applyRU or applyOneOffs option failed, the home becomes unusable. Before retrying the process, you need to clean up the home first:

$ rm -rf /u01/app/oracle/product/19.3.0/dbhome_1/*

$ unzip -o /u01/swtmp/LINUX.X64_193000_db_home.zip -d /u01/app/oracle/product/19.3.0/dbhome_1

As a best practice I always have a new Opatch, so need to unzip it again:

$ unzip -o /u01/swtmp/p6880880_190000_Linux-x86-64.zip -d /u01/app/oracle/product/19.3.0/dbhome_1

Rerun the command:

$ /u01/app/oracle/product/19.3.0/dbhome_1/runInstaller -silent -applyRU /u01/swtmp/32895426/32904851/ -responseFile /opt/rsp/db_19.3_EE_swonlyinstall.rsp -ignorePrereqFailure -waitforcompletion

Platform IDs supported by patch are: 46. Platform ID needed is : 226

Problem:

Opatch apply failed with the following error:

Platform IDs supported by patch are: 46 Patch ( 24006111 ) is not applicable on current platform.
Platform ID needed is : 226

Reason:

You may not be familiar with Platform IDs, so the above error actually means “Downloaded patch is for Linux x86 and Linux x86-64 is required”.

Solution:

Download and apply patch for Linux x86-64.
