When trying to patch your virtualized ODA with patch 12.1.2.12.0 and immediately after that with 12.2.1.4.0, you might consider to load the patches like this:


[root@XX1 Oracle_Soft_Repo]# oakcli unpack -package /cloudfs/Oracle_Soft_Repo/p26433712_1212120_Linux-x86-64_1of2.zip
Unpacking will take some time, Please wait...

[root@XX1 Oracle_Soft_Repo]# oakcli unpack -package /cloudfs/Oracle_Soft_Repo/p28216780_122140_Linux-x86-64_2of3.zip

Unpacking will take some time, Please wait...
Successfully unpacked the files to repository.

After that, a verification attempt shows following strange error:


[root@XX1 tmp]# oakcli update -patch 12.1.2.12.0 --verify
ERROR : The Patch version must be 12.2.1.4.0

Reason is that only the newest patch version is saved in a flag file, so that less recent versions are not known:


[root@XX1 ~]# cat /opt/oracle/oak/pkgrepos/System/VERSION
version=12.2.1.4.0

To install patch 12.1.2.12.0, both patches have to be removed from repository first:

After that, patch 12.1.2.1.12.0 has to be reloaded into repository:


[root@XX1 ~]# oakcli unpack -package /cloudfs/Oracle_Soft_Repo/p26433712_1212120_Linux-x86-64_1of2.zip
