Patching Oracle Grid Infrastructure Without Changing the Grid Home Path

This procedure explains how to patch Oracle Grid Infrastructure without changing the Grid home path.

Before You Begin

Ensure that the gold image containing the Grid home is imported and exists on the Fleet Patching and Provisioning Server.
Ensure that the directory you provide in the path option is not an existing directory.
The source Grid home must be a managed home (provisioned by Fleet Patching and Provisioning). It does not need to be an Oracle Layered File System (OLFS)-compliant home.
The Grid home must be Oracle Grid Infrastructure 12c (12.2.0.1) or later.

Procedure for Patching

To move a non-OLFS-compliant Grid home to an OLFS Grid home, from the Fleet Patching and Provisioning Server, run two commands similar to the following:

$ rhpctl add workingcopy -workingcopy GI_HOME_12201_PSU1 -aupath
  /u01/app/orabase/product/12.2.0.1/aupath -image image_name
  -client client_name -softwareonly

$ rhpctl move gihome -srcwc GI_HOME_12201 -destwc GI_HOME_12201_PSU1 -agpath
  /u01/app/orabase/product/12.2.0.1/agpath -path
  /u01/app/orabase/product/12.2.0.1/grid

To move an OLFS-compliant Grid home to a patched version, run two commands similar to the following:

$ rhpctl add workingcopy -workingcopy gihome12201_psu1_lpm -aupath
  /u01/app/orabase/product/12.2.0.1/aupath -image image_name -client
  client_name -softwareonly

$ rhpctl move gihome -sourcewc gihome12201_lpm -destwc gihome12201_psu1_lpm
