ODA X6-2 and X7-2 18.3 to 18.5 Upgrade Observations
ODA X6-2 and X7-2 18.3 to 18.5 Upgrade Observations
I've just updated a couple of ODA X6-2L's and a ODA X7-2M from 18.3 to 18.5 and thought I'd detail a couple of issues I encountered and the workarounds.
As part of addressing these issues I was able to free up additional space in the /u01 and /opt filesystems.
The ODA's host various 11.2.0.4 Standard Edition databases.

A known issue was detailed in the release notes that could cause the server patching to fail as it may have the 12.1 or 12.2 grid home listed as the default Oracle Clusterware home in the inventory.
