During the move of the OMR from GRIDCTRL to GORDON, bug 17583185 was encountered. (See MOS Doc 1951858.1).
The README says to check that the required programs are in the execution path. This is done as follows:
which opatch make ar ld nm
The output was:
/opt/oracle/app/OracleHomes/db11g/OPatch/opatch /usr/bin/make /usr/bin/ar /usr/bin/ld /usr/bin/nm
Thus, all of the required programs are accessible.
The README says that OPatch should be at least 11.2.0.3.0. This is checked as follows:
opatch version
The output was:
OPatch Version: 11.2.0.3.6 OPatch succeeded.
So, we are okay with OPatch.
The README says that Oracle inventory should be intact. This is checked as follows:
opatch lsinventory
The output is attached as 18 lsinventory_pre.log. Critical parts of the output are:
Installed Top-level Products (1): Oracle Database 11g 11.2.0.4.0 There are 1 product(s) installed in this Oracle Home. Interim patches (1) : Patch 20760982 : applied on Wed Jul 15 18:15:59 EST 2015 Unique Patch ID: 18941541 Patch description: "Database Patch Set Update : 11.2.0.4.7 (20760982)" Created on 5 Jun 2015, 04:55:07 hrs PST8PDT
It would appear that I had applied PSU 11.2.0.4.7 with registering it in the build diary.
The README says to extract the patch to some location. This is done as follows:
mkdir -p /opt/oracle/software/P17583185 unzip -q /tmp/p17583185_112040_Generic.zip -d /opt/oracle/software/P17583185
There was no output.
The README says to check for patch conflicts. This is done as follows:
cd /opt/oracle/software/P17583185/17583185/ opatch prereq CheckConflictAgainstOHWithDetail -ph ./
The output was:

There are no conflicts and we are cleared to proceed.
The patch was applied as follows:
cd /opt/oracle/software/P17583185/17583185/ opatch apply
The output was:

The README says to run a SQL file to complete the patch. This was done as follows:
sqlplus / as sysdba @?/sqlpatch/17583185/postinstall.sql
The output was:

There were no obvious errors.
