Why?

The reason I am addressing this is that, while working on patches for 11g servers, I was so tired of doing it manually. Staging the patch out to each server, going to each one running the same mundane commands to install (with just the slight variations for each one). I decided I would just create 2 scripts to get this done instead.

Two Scripts?

I had to create two scripts in order to stage the patches from one server to the others. While there might have been a better (more all in one) way of doing this, I felt it was better to keep it plain and simple. The two scripts I wrote are patchOracle.sh (for the actual patching of the server) and stagePatches.sh (as the name says this one is to stage the patches from one server to the others).

Script one (stagePatches.sh)

This script resides on the server where the patches are downloaded from Oracle Support to. You will need to change the variables to suite where you want to grab the patches from (ie. Where you download them to):

## stagePatches.sh
## Variables for this script
patchID=${1}
patchType=${2}
hostListInput=${3}
stageDir="/stage/dir/stage-tmp"
oracleHome="/my/oracle/home"
function stageBSU(){
 echo "SCPing patched to staging directory on hosts . . "
 hostList=`echo ${hostListInput} | sed 's/,/\\n/g'`
 for host in ${hostList}
 do
 scp ${stageDir}/${patchID}.zip ${host}:${oracleHome}/utils/bsu/cache_dir/
 echo "Staged to ${host}"
 done
 echo ". . FINISHED"
}
function stageOPatch(){
 echo "SCPing patched to staging directory on hosts . . "
 hostList=`echo ${hostListInput} | sed 's/,/\\n/g'`
 for host in ${hostList}
 do
 scp ${stageDir}/${patchID}.zip ${host}:~/
 echo "Staged to ${host}"
 done
 echo ". . FINISHED"
}
function help(){
 echo "Help Function:"
 echo "Usage: ${0} patchID patchType hostList"
 echo "Examples:"
 echo "BSU: ${0} IHFB bsu hostname01,hostname02"
 echo "OPatch: ${0} 17802511 opatch hostname01,hostname02"
 exit 0
}

function checkProd(){
 #this is for checking if staging to a prod environment (change the *prod* to a string checking the hostname for a prod indicator, this is obviously different for each environment).
 if [[ ${hostList} = *prod* ]]; then
 echo "You are applying a patch on a production environment!!"
 read -p "Press [Enter] to continue or ctr-C to quit."
 echo ""
 fi
}

case ${patchType} in
 bsu | -bsu )
 checkProd "${hostList}"
