connect to exadata node1:

shut down all the services (database, ASM, listeners, nodeapps, and CRS daemons) running from
the Oracle home of the node you want to patch. After you patch this node, start the services
on this node.Repeat this process for each of the other nodes of the Oracle RAC system.
OPatch is used on only one node at a time.

Status of DBs on node1 :

lsnrctl stop

srvctl status instance -d ORCLP1 -i ORCLP11
srvctl status instance -d ORADW1 -i ORADW11

Stop databases on node1

srvctl stop instance -d ORCLP1 -i ORCLP11
srvctl stop instance -d ORADW1 -i ORADW11

Apply the patch :

export ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0.2/dbhome_1
export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/OPatch:$PATH

cd /home/oracle/18110491
opatch apply -local
opatch lsinventory | grep 18110491

 

==> patch has been applied

Status of DBs on node1 :
srvctl start instance -d ORCLP1 -i ORCLP11
srvctl start instance -d ORADW1 -i ORADW11

Repeat the above steps  from node2 to node8.
There will be different Databases and instances on other nodes.
Verify the Instances on othe nodes
ps -ef|grep pmon
