 2. Directories under GRID_HOME are owned by root:oinstall instead of grid:oinstall

drwxrwxrwt. 6 root oinstall 52 Jun 3 11:29 auth
drwxr-xr-x. 2 root oinstall 12288 Jun 3 11:29 bin

-rwxr-xr-x. 1 root oinstall 414 Jun 3 11:20 rootupgrade.sh
drwxr-x---. 5 root oinstall 45 Apr 17 11:56 suptools

 3. rootconfig.sh ownership has changed

[grid@<nodename> ~]$ ll /u01/app/19.0.0/grid/crs/config/rootconfig.sh
-rwxr-x---. 1 root oinstall 6248 Jun 3 11:20 /u01/app/19.0.0/grid/crs/config/rootconfig.sh
