I'm currently applying patch 9413827 to a grid infrastruture.

Objective: rather than apply an in place patching, I used a out of place patching strategy. Purpose is to apply patch to u01/app/11.2.0.1/grid rather than u01/app/11.2.0/grid

I copy the working grid home, /u01/app/11.2.0/grid to /u01/app/11.2.0.1/grid and have update the orainventory through the following command.

./runInstaller -attachHome ORACLE_HOME="/u01/app/11.2.0.1/grid" "CLUSTER_NODES={orac01,orac02}" LOCAL_NODE="orac01" -silent -local  CRS=true ORACLE_HOME_NAME="Ora11g_gridinfrahome2"



I do not have the option of installing grid binaries and configuring the clusterware again as it will complain that the cluster is already configured.

while unlocking unprotected files
export $GRID_HOME=/u10/app/11.2.0.1/grid
$GRID_HOME/crs/install/rootcrs.pl -unlock

............
CRS-2677: Stop of 'ora.diskmon' on 'orac02' succeeded
CRS-2793: Shutdown of Oracle High Availability Services-managed resources on 'orac02' has completed
CRS-4133: Oracle High Availability Services has been stopped.
Successfully unlock /u01/app/11.2.0/grid



If you notice the above I'm trying to unlock /u01/app/11.2.0.1 but instead it is the working /u01/app/11.2.0/grid that got unlocked

so when I apply the patchset, I encountered the following error which is something I expected

grid@ORAC02:~/patchset/9413827> opatch napply -local -oh $GRID_HOME -id 9413827

First question: is it possible to patch a in place patch using a out of place strategy?

If yes, what should be the correct way?

thanks a lot!

I've never tried to apply a patch that way. Why don't you just follow the instructions? Or apply the 11.2.0.4 patchset instead?
