This is why we:
1. Use a separate tech stack (oracle home) for each instance.
1a. Use a separate unix account for each oracle home for total isolation.
The DBA here is real
anal. (BTW, that's me).
1b. I've also found that it is easier to use one listener for each instance
instead of one listener
for all instances.
1c. We go so far as to give Oracle Names its own tech stack.
2. For each tech stack install, use a separate OraInventory directory. See
metastink for details on
this.
3. Back up the OraInventory directory before and after an install/upgrade.
If this directory get
hammered, there is no way to recreate it except to re-install (Thank You
Oracle! <all the sarcasm in
the world implied here>).
For those on the list that dissagree, flame away. This is what I've found
works the best in this
environment.
In any case, if the 8.1.6.2 is in a separate home, then the 8.1.7 instance
upgrade will not effect
it. Since the patch says that there is nothing to upgrade, the
/var/opt/oracle/oraInst.loc file
probably points to the 8.1.6 OraInventory instead of the 8.1.7 OraInventory.

I have also two other instances running on 8.1.6.2, This upgrade may be
effected from these version of Oracle or not, or this upgrade can be totaly
independent from 8.1.6.2
I am a bit confused, Need your advise guy
Thanks allot

You generally get this error if the conents of the file
/var/opt/oracle/oraInst.loc points to the
wrong OraInventory directory.
We just went to 8.1.7.4 to resolve some issues with .2. So far, so good.

Hi List,
Friday afternoon I try to upgrade database(8.1.7.0 on sun solaris) to
8.1.7.4 but after few minutes I got the following message:
"There are no Patches need to be applied from the patch set oracle 8i patch
set 8.1.7.4.0" and doesn't go thru at all, My question is for installing
any patch do I have to install the previous patch first or what?
Is there any Prepatch to Install for any patching or NOT?
We have two option for upgrading 8.1.7.2 OR 8.1.7.4, Which one is better &
safer??
If I want to go for Patch 4,is there any comments or recommendation
Really appreciate
