Opatchauto72030 Execute In Nonrolling Mode High Quality

OPATCHAUTO-72030 typically emerges when a Database Administrator attempts to apply an Oracle Grid Infrastructure (GI) patch in rolling mode on a shared CRS home. Because the Grid Infrastructure home is shared across multiple nodes, the standard "one-at-a-time" rolling method is logically impossible; the files on disk cannot be simultaneously patched and running for different nodes. The Patching Story: A Shift to Non-Rolling

: After all nodes are patched and the stacks are brought back up, manually run on the last node to apply SQL changes to the database. Oracle Help Center Why this happens Shared Storage opatchauto72030 execute in nonrolling mode high quality

  • Rolling patch not supported (e.g., certain one-off patches)
  • Database downtime acceptable
  • Standalone server
  • First-time patching after fresh install

Troubleshooting Common Non-Rolling Errors

Running as wrong OS user

| Pitfall | Solution | |--------|----------| | | Always run opatchauto as the Grid home owner ( grid ), not oracle . | | Missing shared storage access | Ensure all nodes can access the same staged patch directory (e.g., NFS, ACFS). | | Rolling mode forced by default | Explicitly use -nonrolling ; otherwise, opatchauto may default to rolling for RAC. | | Interrupted execution | Do not Ctrl+C . Use opatchauto resume if supported; otherwise, roll back using -rollback . | | SQL patch failures | Run datapatch -verbose manually after successful binary patching. | Rolling patch not supported (e

To resolve this and execute successfully, you must satisfy the following conditions: Explicit Flag : You must add the -nonrolling parameter to your command. Stack Status : Unlike rolling mode, the GI stack must be stopped on all remote nodes Local Node : The GI stack must be on the local node where you initiate the command.
