Upgrade Log Files
The OAK patching process has component-specific logging enabled for every component being patched. Resulting log
files can be found in the /opt/oracle/oak/log/<hostname>/patch/<patch bundle number> directory on each of the
nodes. As an example, you may find the following output:
[root@s1 DB]# cd /opt/oracle/oak/log/s1/patch/2.7.0.0.0/
[root@s1 2.7.0.0.0]# ls -lptr

This directory is a good starting point. However, each separate component that is patched may generate an
additional specific log file. For example, the operating-system upgrade utility yum would report activities in the
/var/log/yum.log file. From a practical perspective, it is very useful to know where to look for additional information
in case you need it.
Upgrade System Infrastructure
During the system infrastructure upgrade step, the whole cluster will be unavailable. All databases are going to be
stopped by the patching utility, and will be down for the duration of the upgrade. They will be restarted at the end of
the process.
You start the system infrastructure upgrade by issuing the following command from the first node. The command
needs to be executed as the root user:
cd /opt/oracle/oak/bin/
oakcli update -patch 2.7.0.0.0 -infra
