Oracle Database - Enterprise Edition - Version 10.1.0.2 to 11.2.0.3 [Release 10.1 to 11.2]
Information in this document applies to any platform.
Would you like to explore this Topic further with other Oracle Customers, Oracle Employees and Industry Experts ?? You can discuss this Note, show your Experiences or ask Questions about it directly right at the Bottom of this Note in the Discussion Thread about this Document. If you want to discover Discussions about other Articles und Subjects or even post new Discussions you can access the My Oracle Support Community Page for High Availability Data Guard To apply an Interim Patchset for example the 10.2.0.4 Patchset or January 2010 10.2.0.4 RDBMS PSU, to both the Primary and Standby Sites.
Configurations with a logical standby should refer instead to My Oracle Support Article "Upgrading Oracle Database with a Logical Standby Database In Place (Doc ID 437276.1)".
The process for applying the Patchset/PSU/CPU to a Primary and Standby site will be the same as that used to apply a patchset. The following is one approach to performing this task:
Process Overview:
1. In the primary disable log shipping to the standby site.
2. Shutdown the standby site and apply interim patchsets to the RDBMS binaries as per the README. This includes Patchset/Patchset Update(PSU)/Critical Patch Update (CPU). You will not be able to and do not need to run the scripts(catpatch.sql etc) against the standby rdbms itself. Start the standby site to mount only, do not restart managed recovery.
3. Shutdown the primary site, apply the Patchset/PSU/CPU patch to the RDBMS binaries and patch the RDBMS itself using the instructions in the README (run catpatch/catbundle/catcpu etc). NOTE: The latest Patchsets for Oracle 11gR2 (11.2.0) require to be installed into a new ORACLE_HOME. So mind to reset your Environment and copy corresponding Files (like SPFILE, Network Files,..) to the new ORACLE_HOME, too. Follow the Database Upgrade Guide for further Details.
4. Start the primary site, re-enable log shipping to the standby.
5. At the standby site restart redo apply/managed recovery and the RDBMS changes implemented in the Primary Site through catpatch/catbundle/catcpu will also be applied to the standby.
NOTE: Step 5. should be done immediately after upgrading the Database Binaries on the Standby Database. It is to ensure the Data Dictionary (CATPROC)-Version matches the Version of the Database Binaries. If this does not match (eg. when you upgrade the Standby Database Binaries first and perform a Role Change on the Standby before you upgrade the Primary) you may run into severe Problems. Having different Patchlevels in a Data Guard Physical Standby Database Environment is not supported anyway, see
Mixed Oracle Version support with Data Guard Redo Transport Services (Doc ID 785347.1)
for further Details and Reference.
6. Checks to perform to ensure the patch has been applied successfully at the primary and standby sites. The Interim Patchset application in detail - in this case 10.2.0.4 PSU 3 or Patch 9119284 NOTE: If you are using Oracle Restart (starting from 11.2.0.x) you have to use the SRVCTL-Commands like shown for RAC Databases to stop/start the Database and Services.
1. If you are using a Data Guard Broker configuration, in the Primary Site disable archiving to Standby Site.
If this is RAC you will need to ensure that archiving is disabled from all Primary Site Instances. When a Data Guard Broker configuration is in place this will be managed through dgmgrl. If you are using sqlplus and DO NOT have a broker configuration this would need to be performed from the sql prompt.
1.1 Disable log shipping using DGMGRL. DGMGRL> connect /
Connected.
DGMGRL> show database verbose plb_prm

Name: plb_prm
Role: PRIMARY
Enabled: YES
Intended State: ONLINE

Properties:

..
.
Current status for "plb_prm":
SUCCESS
DGMGRL> edit database plb_prm set state='LOG-TRANSPORT-OFF';
Succeeded.
DGMGRL> exit
OR
1.2 If you are managing the environment using sqlplus
In this case you DO NOT have a Data Guard Broker configuration disable the destination used to ship archives from the primary to the standby site using sqlplus. SQL> alter system set log_archive_dest_state_X=defer scope=both sid='*'
2. Apply the patch at the Standby Site binaries.
If this is a RAC standby this patch application would occur across all nodes.
2.1.1 If this is a single instance environment shutdown ALL processes running from the home.
This will include all listeners, database instances, asm instances etc running from the home to patched. [oracle@aulnx9 patches]$ lsnrctl stop lsnrplb

2.1.2 If this a RAC standby shutdown all the RAC services that are running from the ORACLE_HOME to be patched.
In this case the RAC database is called plb and the listener name for the listener running from the ORACLE_HOME to patched is lsnrplb. [oracle@aulnx13 ~] srvctl stop database -d plb_std
[oracle@aulnx13 ~] srvctl stop listener -n aulnx13.au.oracle.com -l lsnrplb_aulnx13
[oracle@aulnx13 ~] srvctl stop listener -n aulnx14.au.oracle.com -l lsnrplb_aulnx14
2.2 The release of OPatch that is supplied with 10.2.0.4 will not be able to apply a PSU as seen through the errors below. [oracle@aulnx9 9119284]$ pwd

2.2.1 To overcome the patch issue apply the latest copy of OPatch to the home via Patch 6880880.
If you already have a later release of OPatch then it is not necessary to perform this step.
Download Patch 6880880 and following the install instructions in the README [oracle@aulnx9 patches]$ mv /u01/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_plb/OPatch /u01/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_plb/OPatch_10204

2.3 Once the new release of OPatch is in place apply the patch to the Standby Site
Please Note: In the Standby Site only the patching of the binaries is performed, there is no need to run the catupgrade/catcpu/catbundle.sql script as this will be performed through redo apply at the Standby Site.
The example below is applying the patch to a Single Instance Standby Site and its applying PSU Patch 9119284. [oracle@aulnx9 9119284]$ opatch apply
