What Tanel wrote, plus, a common reason for the patched binary(ies) to not
actually get slapped into place is if another instance on that node is
running the same binary (or one of the tools is being executed while the
relink is supposed to happen). Less common is an improperly killed process
still having a file handle on the executable that you're trying to replace.
I would think your logs from patching would show the failure, but looking at
the date last modified for the files in your "oracle" bins and library might
also be useful.

Hi Brian,
Every parameter has an internal constant number associated with it.
These numbers may change between releases/patchsets as new parameters are
added (and some removed).
The Oracle binary patching works roughly like this on Unix:
1) replace the Oracle kernel module files (.o or .so files) in libserver.a
with new versions
2) relink Oracle and tools (relink takes the module files from libserver.a
and links them to oracle binary)
So I suspect something failed either in step 1 or 2.
You can start with relinking Oracle binary and all the tools (rman too).
If it still doesn't work, then compare the contents of libserver.a's on both
installations.
Btw, are you running RMAN from the patched Oracle home and not the old one,
right?
