一套新装的ORACLE Restart环境(11.2.0.3.0)，计划最新的PSU，在使用opath auto方式安装补丁时报错，表面上的错误信息提示opatch工具不满足版本要求：
[root@dmdb01 ~]# opatch auto /u01/20996944 -ocmrf /u01/file.rsp Executing /u01/app/11.2.0.4/grid/perl/bin/perl /u01/app/11.2.0.4/grid/OPatch/crs/patch11203.pl -patchdir /u01 -patchn 20996944 -ocmrf /u01/file.rsp -paramfile /u01/app/11.2.0.4/grid/crs/install/crsconfig_params

要求opatch工具的版本，发现已经是最新版本了，说明这个错误与opatch工具的版本无关。
[root@dmdb01 ~]# opatch version OPatch Version: 11.2.0.3.15
OPatch succeeded. [root@dmdb01 ~]# |
在使用opatch auto打补丁时，生成了两个日志文件，查看opatchauto2017-04-08_04-45-04.log文件的内容，发现如下信息：
OPatch failed to lock and get an Inventory Session for the given Oracle Home /u01/app/11.2.0.4/grid Possible causes are: No read or write permission to $ORACLE_HOME, cannot create $ORACLE_HOME/.patch_storage No read or write permission to $ORACLE_HOME/.patch_storage OPatch cannot proceed further because system will not be able to backup files, or read the backup area for rollback/restore. OPatchSession cannot load inventory for the given Oracle Home /u01/app/11.2.0.4/grid. Possible causes are: No read or write permission to ORACLE_HOME/.patch_storage Central Inventory is locked by another OUI instance No read permission to Central Inventory The lock file exists in ORACLE_HOME/.patch_storage The Oracle Home does not exist in Central Inventory
UtilSession failed: IPMRWServices::verifyPatchStorageDirectory() cannot read or write to /u01/app/11.2.0.4/grid/.patch_storage
OPatch failed with error code 73 |
从以上日志，基本知道opatch报错原因了。
去$ORACLE_HOME 和$GRID_HOME下查看.patch_storage目录的权限，发现$GRID_HOME下基本就不存在.patch_storage目录，解决办法很简单，手动创建这个目录即可：
[root@dmdb01 grid]# mkdir .patch_storage [root@dmdb01 grid]# chown grid:oinstall .patch_storage/ [root@dmdb01 grid]# su - oracle [oracle@dmdb01 ~]$ cd $ORACLE_HOME [oracle@dmdb01 db_home1]$ mkdir .patch_storage mkdir: cannot create directory `.patch_storage': File exists [oracle@dmdb01 db_home1]$ |
再次安装补丁，一切OK：
[root@dmdb01 u01]# opatch auto /u01/20996944 -ocmrf /u01/file.rsp Executing /u01/app/11.2.0.4/grid/perl/bin/perl /u01/app/11.2.0.4/grid/OPatch/crs/patch11203.pl -patchdir /u01 -patchn 20996944 -ocmrf /u01/file.rsp -paramfile /u01/app/11.2.0.4/grid/crs/install/crsconfig_params

处理故障，有时还是不能被表面现象迷惑。
