Re: Upgrade 8.1.7.0 to 8.1.7.4.x Tru64 Parallel Server

I assume that the existing 8.1.7.0 environment is already running OPS. In that case, the 8.1.7.4 patchset should apply successfully. If it is a TruCluster 5.x or higher, it would be a Cluster File System, in which
case it would most probably be a single ORACLE_HOME shared by both nodes. [I have a 9iRAC install on TruCluster that way]. In that case, only one ORACLE_HOME needs to be patched !
Data Dictionary scripts are against the database so they need to be run only once.
