CPU patch apply post
Posted by Kamran Agayev A. on April 8th, 2012
These days I’m responsible on applying CPU patches on some critical databases. Actually I’m thinking to create a new blog post on this topic
But now I would like to share a nice blog post which can be useful to overcome some patch installation issues you get during the installation
Here’s the link:

I liked the latest (7) step which was also helped me to overcome “is not writable” error even the mentioned .so file wasn’t in use by any active process
And my last advise : Don’t forget to backup “Oracle Home” folder and even having the backup of the database itself!
Note: Please make sure you’ve read the following metalink note:
Opatch Reports ‘libclntsh.so.10.1 not removed. Text file busy’ [ID 553263.1]

You can’t use “CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE” from NOMOUNT mode. If you have controlfile autobackup, restore it from there.
