Goal
This is an example of manually applying a 12.1.0.1 Grid Infrastructure PSU in GI Cluster environment. The example was on Linux but steps are the same for other platforms.
Note: it's recommended to use opatchauto when possible, this procedure should only be used when opatchauto fails.

| Environment Configuration |
| 1. Download the latest opatch |
| 2. Create OCM response file |
| 3. Download the PSU and unzip as grid user. |
| 4. Apply the patch |
| 4.1. Apply to both GI and DB home |
| 4.1.1. Execute "rootcrs.pl -prepatch" as root user from GI home (this step will stop the Clusterware from the node and unlock the grid home): |
| 4.1.2. As grid user apply all sub-patches in the GI PSU (OCW, ACFS, DBWLM and DB, <note 1595371.1>) to GI home |
| 4.1.3. As oracle user apply all but ACFS sub-patches in the GI PSU (<note 1595371.1>) to DB home |
| 4.1.4. As the root user complete the patching |
| 4.2. Apply to GI home only |
| 4.2.1. Execute "rootcrs.pl -prepatch" as root user from GI home: |
| 4.2.2. As grid user apply all sub-patches in the GI PSU (OCW, ACFS, DBWLM and DB, <note 1595371.1>) |
| 4.2.3. As the root user complete the patching |
| 4.3. Apply to DB home only |
| 4.3.1. Save DB home state |
| 4.3.2. Execute prepatch.sh from GI PSU sub-patch directory to save DB home configuration |
| 4.3.3. Apply all but ACFS sub-patches in the GI PSU (<note 1595371.1>) |
| 4.3.4. Execute postpatch.sh from GI PSU sub-patch directory to restore DB home configuration |
| 4.3.5. Restart resources in DB home |
| 5. Repeated Step2-4 on other nodes |
| 6. Execute datapatch if necessary |
