1. Is there other way of patching aside from node by node?
2. Do u mean mean that you go to each node physically, load the,
patchset, run OUI and install the patch?

Thanks

1. if you are running RAC when you invoke the OUI it will list all available nodes and give you the option to patch them all
2. yep yep

thanks,

When I invoke OUI in DEV server i saw two nodes the dev and the prod.
so I patch the node firsts...and it was successful.

But in #2 above....u said that I have to go to each server physically to
patch it...so i login to the PROD server and run OUI...i choose the prod
oracle home ...OUI also tells me that prod home was a cluster set-up
but i didnt see the dev node...just the prod node. Unlike on the DEV server
i can see both nodes in OUI. So i continue to run the patch on thr prod
node but it is here where i encounter the error "There is no patch the needs
to be applied.

Dont you think i should run the patch on the DEV server to patch both the
prod and dev node? This means i am physically on 1 server login pathcing
all nodes/server.

Thanks a lot
