apply patch using opatch

Hi all,

I am on Linux 2.1 and trying to upgrade the security patches 68 on 9.2.0.5


any way, below is the error I got

[oracle@test 3811906]$ /home/oracle/DBA_STUFFS/patches/opatch/OPatch/opatch apply
PERL5LIB=/home/oracle/product/9.2.0/Apache/perl/lib/5.00503:/home/oracle/DBA_STUFFS/patches/opatch/OPatch/perl_modules; export PERL5LIB
/home/oracle/product/9.2.0/Apache/perl/bin/perl /home/oracle/DBA_STUFFS/patches/opatch/OPatch/opatch.pl apply

ERROR: OPatch failed because of Path problem.




it looks for fuser but when I go to /usr/sbin/ I can't find it

any advises????

See if it's in your path...
# which fuser

If it's not in your path,
# find / -type f -name fuser

then put it in your path.

At lease on HP, you need to: chmod go+x /usr/sbin/fuser

Jeff,


thanks for your advises and I have another question since I am 100% clear of what I need to do.

ok, I have to use the patch for opatch and any way it would be something like this:

[oracle@test 3811906]$ pwd
/home/oracle/DBA_STUFFS/patches/security68_1/3811906



[oracle@qhoudb03 3811906]$ /home/oracle/DBA_STUFFS/patches/opatch/OPatch apply


and now I understand that I have to put the patch of fuser into this command as well, the question is "where to I put the path for fuser?" BTW, the path of my fuser is in /sbin/fuser/


thanks

export PATH=$PATH:/sbin

Then do which fuser and it will return you the directory fuser is in so you know you did it correctly

then go to the Patch directory (not the opatch directory) and do

/path_to_opatch/opatch apply
