Hi,



I'm applying a PSU to a clustered home for the 1st time in my life and of course hit a snag.. This is 11.2.0.4 database on a 2-node ASM (12.1.0.2 ) cluster on an ODA and I am applying the 11.2.0.4 October 2016 PSU. All databases are single-node, just ASM is clustered. I am patching only the database homes, not ASM.



I ran opatch on node 1 and it propagated automatically to node 2. Before the patch, both nodes had databases running without errors.



Opatch reported no errors on either node.



After the patch, I can restart the databases on node 1 without problems and run the post-install actions, but on node 2 start attempts end in ORA-205 "Error identifying control file". In the alert log are masses of errors like this:

ALTER DATABASE   MOUNT


NOTE: Loaded library: System



ORA-15025: could not open disk "/dev/mapper/HDD_E0_S00_372178872p1"



ORA-27041: unable to open file



Linux-x86_64 Error: 13: Permission denied



Additional information: 9



…




I checked the permissions/ownership of the oracle executable, but that is the same on both nodes. The file permissions on the disk devices are also the same and ASM has never gone down during or after patching. I'm stumped...



Cheers,


Tony
