I have been passing the gi one and that works for both gi and home... so far at least ;-)
Here's what I have been using for the July PSU :
/u001/app/11.2.0/grid/OPatch/opatch auto /u001/app/oracle/software/JulyPSU2013 -ocmrf /u001/app/11.2.0/grid/OPatch/ocm/bin/ocm.rsp

Hi Rui,
Thanks for the quick response, but I have to admit I'm not quite sure I follow. If I have to pass -ocmrf as an argument, which ocm response file should I pass it? The GI one or the DB one?
Thanks!

Stephan,
You'll need to run the eomcmrsp script to generate the ocm.rsp file. I do this on both the grid and db homes just in case. The eomcmrsp can be found in the OH/Opatch/ocm/bin directory.

Hi all,
I'm working on a Linux test RAC (I've been working with RAC on Windows for several years now, but RAC on Linux is a new beast to me). I've hit a bit of a challenge, and not sure if this is intended, or...
Our typical build model (on Windows) is to install (and configure) 11.2.0.3 GI, install 11.2.0.3 DB (software only), apply the latest bundle patch to both homes, and then create the database, &c.
So, on this test RAC, I installed (and configured 11.2.0.3 GI), and installed 11.2.0.3 DB (software only). I'm trying to apply PSU 7, but the method seems a little different, and I'm not sure the best way to handle this. From the documentation, it sounds as though I simply run opatch auto on node 1, and it handles the rest. What I've seen looks pretty good - it shuts down the clusterware, patches, starts the clusterware back up. But it doesn't do anything about the database home.
Reviewing the opatch log, it shows
2013-09-06 16:49:52: Oracle Interim Patch Installer version 11.2.0.3.5 Copyright (c) 2013, Oracle Corporation. All rights reserved.

So basically, it didn't patch the DB home because we haven't created a DB home yet? It seems even running opatch auto from the DB home, with ORACLE_HOME set to the DB home, it does not find the DB home to patch. Is this intended? Is there a workaround? Or do we need to create a database before opatch auto will recognize that home and patch it?
11.2.0.3.(hopefully)7 on OEL 6.
Thanks!
