PSUs and opatch auto - Why the Occassional "Unable to determine if $ORACLE_HOME is shared oracle hom
This is 11.2.0.2 with RAC databases of the same releases. Everything runs on rhel 5. I'm on my second cluster applying the Jan 2013 PSU for Linux x86-64. The patch number is 14841385 which contains both GI 11.2.0.2.6 (13696242) and RDBMS 11.2.0.9 (14724315).
The command is to apply the patches to all Oracle Homes at once, so: sudo opatch auto . -ocmrf $ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/ocm/ocm.rsp
The patch starts normally, detects Clusterware but then claims it cannot detect if the affected Oracle homes are shared or not. Here's an excerpt from the log:
Detected Oracle Clusterware install
