GI cloning (for out of place patching)
Hi
Oracle 12.1.0.2.0 (RAC + GI)
Since prefferable method for patching (psu, bundle..) is out of place patching, I was wondering how this procedure (cloning) should be carried out with GI (never done this before).
Here I see brief tutorial: https://docs.oracle.com/database/121/HPDBI/app_cloning.htm#HPDBI7852
So, by patching, I mean, that on same server I create a backup directory from current GI_HOME, with "cp -rp" command to the new location, patch this new location and then start crs from this new home.
Current GI_HOME=/oracle/12c/grid
New GI_HOME=/oracle/12c/grid_2
# cp -rp /oracle/12c/grid /oracle/12c/grid_2
