Applying 10.2.0.

3 patches to Oracle on HP Servers:

1. If any databases or listeners are running out of the Oracle home you are patching,
send a Remedy notice for 1 hour of down time.

2. Set an EM blackout for all databases running out of the Oracle home you are
patching.

3. FTP the patch bundle from the software depot to $ORACLE_HOME/PATCHES

> cd $ORACLE_HOME/PATCHES
> ftp uctvd606 (login as "ormerck")

For HP Itanium
ftp> cd /opt/oracle/install/10.2.0.3_ITANIUM
ftp> get all_patches_10203_HPUX-IA64.tar

For HP PA-RISC
ftp> cd /opt/oracle/install/10.2.0.3_HP
ftp> get all_patches_10203_HPUX.tar

4. Untar the patch bundle

For HP Itanium
> tar xvf all_patches_10203_HPUX-IA64.tar

For HP PA-RISC
> tar xvf all_patches_10203_HPUX.tar

5. View the included README file and follow the instructions for applying all
patches which have not been previously installed.

To view previously installed patches:

> . setup_opatch_env.sh
> opatch lsinventory

6. After applying all of the patches, remove any remaining ".tar" files from the
PATCHES directory

NOTE: As part of the patching process you will need to shutdown any databases and
listeners running out of the Oracle home. If there are databases running out of other
Oracle homes which are not being patched and which might be affected by shutting down
their listener, you can stop and start any effected listeners under another code tree so that
the other databases remain available during the patching.
