1. Clone existing ORACLE_HOME 11.2.0.x
Make a copy of the existing (source) Oracle RDBMS installationLogin to root
cp -Rp /ora/app/orastage/product/11.2.0/dbhome_shared/* <NEW_ORACLE_SHARED_HOME>
or
cd $ORACLE_HOME
tar -cvf /tmp/source.tar .
transfer the file to destination host /tmp (or any area)
go to destination ORACLE_HOME
cd $ORACLE_HOME_DEST
tar -xvf /tmp/source.tar
Note : If the clone (target) installation is on the same server then the "cp -Rp" command could be
used
2. Clone the new ORACLE_HOME using OUI
export ORACLE_HOME=<NEW_ORACLE_HOME>
export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/opt/CA/
SharedComponents/ccs/cam/bin:/opt/CA/SharedComponents/bin:/home/orastage/bin:/home/orastage/
bin:/ora/app/11.2.0/oragrid/bin
Change oracle inventory path in $ORACLE_HOME/oraInst.loc
cd $ORACLE_HOME/oui/bin
./runInstaller -clone -silent -ignorePreReq ORACLE_BASE="<ORACLE_BASE_PATH>"
ORACLE_HOME="$ORACLE_HOME" ORACLE_HOME_NAME="ORACLE_HOME_11203" -invPtrLoc
$ORACLE_HOME/oraInst.loc
Execute root.sh from new ORACLE_HOME
Alternatively you can use clone.pl script too
cd $ORACLE_HOME/clone/bin
perl clone.pl ORACLE_HOME="<target_home>" ORACLE_HOME_NAME="<unique_home_name>"
ORACLE_BASE="<path_for_ORACLE_BASE>" OSDBA_GROUP=<OSDBA_privileged_group>
OSOPER_GROUP=<OSOPER_privileged_group>
Note : With the above task you have an ORACLE_HOME with PSU Patch 20760997

3. Loading Modified SQL Files in the database
a) For each database instance running on the Oracle home being patched, connect to the database using
SQL*Plus. Connect as SYSDBA and run the catbundle.sql script as follows:
cd $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin
sqlplus /nolog
SQL> CONNECT / AS SYSDBA
SQL> STARTUP
SQL> @catbundle.sql psu apply
SQL> @utlrp.sql
SQL> QUIT
Check the following log files
in $ORACLE_HOME/cfgtoollogs/catbundle or $ORACLE_BASE/cfgtoollogs/catbundle for any errors:
catbundle_PSU_<database SID>_APPLY_<TIMESTAMP>.log
catbundle_PSU_<database SID>_GENERATE_<TIMESTAMP>.log
where TIMESTAMP is of the form YYYYMMMDD_HH_MM_SS
