Opatchauto72030 Execute In Nonrolling Mode Exclusive
| Risk | Impact | Mitigation Strategy | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | High | If CRS fails to stop, the patching aborts. Pre-check for hung processes or locked files. | | Patch Failure | Critical | If patching fails after shutdown, the environment may be left in an inconsistent state. Be prepared to manually restore the GI Home from backup. | | Diskgroup Mount Failure | High | If ASM patches are involved, ASM must come up in the new version. Check ASM alert logs immediately if startup hangs. | | Datapatch Errors | Medium | The binary patch may succeed, but SQL updates might fail. Monitor the datapatch log files post-startup. |

Resolving Error OPATCHAUTO-72030: Execute in Non-Rolling Mode Exclusive
Bring up the stacks and databases. Run datapatch on the final node to apply SQL changes if required. Troubleshooting Tips Doc ID 2957442.1 OPATCHAUTO-72030 During Opatchauto | Risk | Impact | Mitigation Strategy |
– Likely a typo or specific alias/script name. The standard command is opatchauto . 72030 might refer to a patch ID (e.g., Oracle patch 72030) or a log identifier . Possibly it's opatchauto run with a patch directory named 72030 .
To resolve this, you must stop all services across all nodes and use the -nonrolling flag with OPatchAuto . Be prepared to manually restore the GI Home from backup
This mode is the default behavior of OPatchAuto. In rolling mode, Oracle services are shut down and patched one node at a time while the other nodes in the cluster remain fully operational. This method ensures continuous availability of the database throughout the patching process, as users can be failed over to active nodes. The prerequisites for starting a rolling session require the local node to be up and at least one remote node to be up and running. Rolling patching is the preferred method for most interim patches, as it incurs zero downtime. However, not all patches are eligible for rolling application; the patch's README file and metadata explicitly state if a patch can be applied in a rolling fashion.
This comprehensive guide breaks down why this error occurs, the architectural mechanics behind rolling versus non-rolling patches, and the exact step-by-step procedure required to safely execute opatchauto in non-rolling, exclusive mode without risking cluster corruption.
