ASM - 11.2.0.3 -- non RAC
I've always patched ASM GRID_HOME (non RAC) using the database psu. I patch asm
first with opatch apply and then switch to the db home and use the same patch.
It's always gone smoothly, no issues, upgrades are always smooth. opatch
lsinventory shows the correct PSU information. I'm thinking I've only patched
the db component of ASM and never the grid component.
I'm investigating using OEM for patches and I brought in the PSU and it didn't
bring up ASM as a potential target. So this is making me question my whole PSU
strategy for ASM on non-rac systems.
Looking at the GI PSU the documentation seems to be better now in that opatch
auto (as root) should patch both GI and DB home in a single instance
environment.
Am I correct in my thinking?
