When executing opatchauto for Oracle Grid Infrastructure (GI), the error typically signifies a mandatory requirement to use non-rolling mode . This most often occurs when the GI home is shared across nodes or when the specific patch is architecturally "non-rollable," meaning it cannot be applied while other nodes are still running an older version. Understanding the Error: OPATCHAUTO-72030
To resolve OPATCHAUTO-72030, you must explicitly instruct the utility to use non-rolling mode opatchauto72030 execute in nonrolling mode high quality
Before executing opatchauto in non-rolling mode, ensure that the following prerequisites are met: opatchauto72030 execute in nonrolling mode high quality
(Example: /u01/app/19.0.0/grid/OPatch/opatchauto apply /soft/35319490 -nonrolling ) opatchauto72030 execute in nonrolling mode high quality
Use tail -f on that file to track real‑time progress. Key success markers:
One specific operational scenario frequently encountered by DBAs is the execution tagged with the code in non‑rolling mode . This article dissects this command, explores why non‑rolling mode is sometimes the only viable option, and provides a step‑by‑step guide to executing it with high quality—minimizing downtime and maximizing safety.
