# As the root user from the GI_HOME/OPatch directory: ./opatchauto apply -nonrolling Use code with caution. Steps for Non-Rolling Patching:
Some patches contain metadata explicitly stating they cannot be applied in a rolling fashion due to significant binary or architectural changes. opatchauto72030 execute in nonrolling mode
In a non-rolling session, all remote nodes must be shut down. Only the local node where you run the command should have the GI stack up. # As the root user from the GI_HOME/OPatch directory:
Run the opatchauto apply command with the -nonrolling flag. Only the local node where you run the
Download the latest OPatch utility and your target patch from My Oracle Support . Back up your Oracle Homes before proceeding.
The error message typically occurs during Oracle Grid Infrastructure (GI) or RAC database patching when the opatchauto utility detects an environment that does not support the default rolling mode. By default, opatchauto attempts to patch nodes sequentially (one at a time) to maintain high availability. However, certain configurations—most notably shared Oracle Homes —require a full cluster shutdown and a non-rolling execution. Why OPATCHAUTO-72030 Occurs
If opatchauto detects that remote nodes are down or the cluster stack is inconsistent, it may require a non-rolling approach to resynchronize the nodes. How to Execute in Non-Rolling Mode
