OPatch - How are Online Patches Installed?OPatch is the recommended (Oracle-supplied) tool that customers are supposed to use in order to apply or rollback patches. It maintains an inventory of patches, and ensures that two conflicting patches are not simultaneously installed. OPatch was recently modified to support online patches, which means that it can apply/rollback online patches, as well as detect conflicts between any two kinds of patches. As such, it is not necessary for customers to execute the "oradebug patch" commands; OPatch does this.

All OPatch versions after 11.1.0.6 are Online Patch aware.

The syntax to install an Online Patch is:
opatch apply online -connectString <SID>:<USERNAME>:<PASSWORD>:<NODE>

example:
$ opatch apply online -connectString db11202:sys:oracle -invPtrLoc /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1/oraInst.loc

Verifying the update...
Inventory check OK: Patch ID 10188727 is registered in Oracle Home inventory with proper meta-data.
Files check OK: Files from Patch ID 10188727 are present in Oracle Home.

OPatch succeeded.


For RAC you can list all of the instances:
opatch apply online -connectString <SID>:<USERNAME>:<PASSWORD>:<NODE1>,<SID2>:<USERNAME>:<PASSWORD>:<NODE2>,...


The USERNAME and PASSWORD are those of a user that has SYSDBA privileges.
The USERNAME and PASSWORD can be left blank if the OS user applying the patch has the SYSDBA privilege.
To apply a patch only to local in the RAC environment, it is necessary to use '-local'.
