11gR2:Oracle Online Patching
Online patching is new feature introduced in 11.1.0.6 and oracle started delivering patches with 11.2.0.2.
This patch allows you to apply patch to live database i.e we do not need to shutdown database. This feature is only available for RDBMS home and can be installed/enabled using opatch.
RDBMS Online Patching Aka Hot Patching [ID 761111.1] explains internals of how this patching works.
I tested it while working on Database corruption issue caused by Bug 10205230 ORA-600 / corruption possible during shutdown in RAC. This bug is present in 11.2.0.2 database which causes corruption when you try to use shutdown immediate/normal/transactional option to shutdown RAC database. As per MOS note 1318986.1, Data corruption occurs around shutdown one or more of the RAC instances
* One of the following ORA-600 asserts:
- ORA-600 [kclchkblk_3]
- ORA-600 [kclwcrs_6]
- ORA-600 [ktubko_1]
- ORA-600 [kcratr_scan_lostwrt]
- ORA-600[3020] on the standby database
Workaround is to perform local check point and do shutdown abort. Patch 10205230 was available for our platform and I downloaded using below command directly to server
read mos_user_id read -s h_passwd wget --http-user="$mos_user_id" --http-password="$h_passwd" "https://updates.oracle.com/Orion/Services/download/p10205230_112020_Linux-x86-64.zip?aru=13671866&patch_file=p10205230_112020_Linux-x86-64.zip" -O p10205230_112020_Linux-x86-64.zip
mos_user_id - Metalink aka Mos user id (email id)
h_passwd - Password
To query if patch is online, go to patch directory and run following

"Patch is an online patch: true" indicates patch can be applied to live db.
To apply the patch, we can use following syntax
Non - RAC => opatch apply online -connectString <SID>:<USERNAME>:<PASSWORD>:<NODE>
RAC => opatch apply online -connectString <SID>:<USERNAME>:<PASSWORD>:<NODE1>,<SID2>:<USERNAME>:<PASSWORD>:<NODE2>,...
Since we are patching RAC database, we will use second syntax

You can verify that patch is applied and enabled
SQL> oradebug patch list Patch File Name State ================ ========= bug10205230.pch ENABLED
If you have multiple ORACLE databases running out of same RDBMS Home, you can enable patch for other database using enableonlinepatch option
$ opatch util enableonlinepatch -connectString orcl02d1:sys:oracle123:prod03,orcl02d2:sys:oracle123:prod04 -id 10205230
In case of single instance home, below syntax is used
$ opatch util enableonlinepatch -connectString orcl:sys:oracle123 -id 10205230
Alert log is updated with following entries during patch application
Patch bug10205230.pch Installed - Update #1 Patch bug10205230.pch Enabled - Update #2 Thu Jun 21 02:13:17 2012 Online patch bug10205230.pch has been installed Online patch bug10205230.pch has been enabled
Online patching is very important feature introduced in 11.2.0.2 as this allows you to apply patches without any downtime. Note that if you apply patch using normal opatch apply, it will not be enabled. You can confirm this by oradebug patch list command.
