I'm supposed to apply the patch to GRID as well as the database home, so I know
the commands to stop/start all components, but I was expecting to see the
details in one of the documents, particularly to specify what flags to use for
the opatch apply in order to be sure I'm running it as a rolling patch.
Doesn't look like these are included in the readme files..

Hi Rajesh,
The readme just says to use the OPatch rolling installation method and refers
me to the same document 244241.1 you mentioned. That document explains the
concept of what happens when using the rolling patch method, but it doesn't
give any commands.
The patch I need to apply is an old CPU patch
p16742095_112030_Linux-x86-64.zip. (Unfortunately I have to use this old one
because there was an oops with the CPUs and one of the bugs fixed in this patch
was not included in the subsequent CPUs.)
Any assistance is greatly appreciated!Thanks.

Chris, What CPU are you trying to apply ? In a RAC installation - I'd "guess"
that the preferred choice as defined by the README would be to use "opatch
auto"
These documents might help...
Rolling Patch - OPatch Support for RAC (Doc ID 244241.1)
FAQ: OPatch/Patch Questions/Issues for Oracle Clusterware (Grid Infrastructure
or CRS) and RAC Environments (Doc ID 1339140.1)
Thanks,

Hello All,
Please excuse this newbee question.I'm applying a rolling opatch (CPU) to an
11.2.0.3 RAC installation on linux, and none of the documents seem to point me
to the instructions/commands on how to execute a rolling patch with opatch.
They are not included in the readme, nor in the documents referenced in the
readme.
Where can I find the actual commands to run to execute an opatch rolling patch?
Thanks!
