I looked and it has some dates of yesterday, some of today and dates all over the place. Should they all be the same? I just don't know what to look for any more. Is there something that needs to be done to rman after an upgrade or patch? I don't recall doing it on my test box though. I looked at the patch logs and other than OCM being configured and not running, there are no errors or other warnings.
ciao,
Brian

What Tanel wrote, plus, a common reason for the patched binary(ies) to
not actually get slapped into place is if another instance on that node
is running the same binary (or one of the tools is being executed while
the relink is supposed to happen). Less common is an improperly killed
process still having a file handle on the executable that you're trying
to replace.
I would think your logs from patching would show the failure, but
looking at the date last modified for the files in your "oracle" bins
and library might also be useful.

Hi Brian,
Every parameter has an internal constant number associated with it. These numbers may change between releases/patchsets as new parameters are added (and some removed).
The Oracle binary patching works roughly like this on Unix:
- replace the Oracle kernel module files (.o or .so files) in libserver.a with new versions
- relink Oracle and tools (relink takes the module files from libserver.a and links them to oracle binary)
So I suspect something failed either in step 1 or 2.
You can start with relinking Oracle binary and all the tools (rman too).
If it still doesn't work, then compare the contents of libserver.a's on both installations.
Btw, are you running RMAN from the patched Oracle home and not the old one, right?
