Hi Guys,

@psshah, The website I provided in the first post got README from Oracle, so if Oracle doesn't request any special installation steps is it safe to apply this patch even if it Prod env?

Or should I test it in Dev env first?

As you mention this env is very critical even if I applied this patch in single user mode because it has RAC and Sun Cluster sw.

Thanks for you comments.

@achenle Oracle DBA doesn't care for Netbackup upgrade, he is considering his own DB so down time for his DB is very critical, So I came with installing this patch in normal mode while DB is off, is it dangers?

Thanks for your comments.

@fpmurphy, Yes there is newer patch, but as this patch is minimum requirement and no special steps needed I decided to apply it.

Symantec stated "Customers should review the above list and apply the patches relavent to their configuration. If later O/S patches are available, they should be applied. The above list is simply the minimum level."

Thanks for your comments.

------

I really appreciate your comments guys and I need your experiences in this field, should I or shouldn't try to install this patch in normal operation mode?

I came with some steps to be in safe side:

1- Backup all effected libs in the README, 12 libs.
2- Shutdown the db before applying this patch.
3- Clear shared library from RAM before applying this Patch.
4- In case of any thing went wrong I will remove the patch then restore libs that I backed up.

What do you think, Do you agree with me or you don't?

Thanks again, and I hope you help me before I miss with my env Smilie

EDIT-PATCH(1)						      General Commands Manual						     EDIT-PATCH(1)

NAME

       edit-patch, add-patch - tool for preparing patches for Debian source packages

SYNOPSIS

       edit-patch path/to/patch

       add-patch path/to/patch

DESCRIPTION

       edit-patch is a wrapper script around the Quilt, CDBS, and dpatch patch systems. It simplifies the process of preparing and editing patches
       to Debian source packages and allows the user to not have to be concerned with which patch system is in use.   Run  from  inside  the  root
       directory of the source package, edit-patch can be used to edit existing patches located in debian/patches.

       It can also be used to incorporate new patches.	If pointed at a patch not already present, it will copy the patch to debian/patches in the
       correct format for the patch system in use.  Next, the patch is applied and a subshell is opened in order to edit the patch.   Typing  exit
       or pressing Ctrl-d will close the subshell and launch an editor to record the debian/changelog entry.

       edit-patch  is  integrated  with  the  Bazaar  and Git version control systems.	The patch will be automatically added to the tree, and the
       debian/changelog entry will be used as the commit message.

       If no patch system is present, the patch is applied inline, and a copy is stored in debian/patches-applied.

       add-patch is the non-interactive version of edit-patch.	The patch will be incorporated but no editor or subshell will be spawned.
