Just not that a describe-job for the id above will return error. You just must have SUCCESS in the status
Now we can generate a prepatch-report to correct the eventual errors while patching

As we can see there are some errors because the system is expecting default values for some parameters.
For example the value of the disktimeout is set to 251 instead of the expected value by the prepatch check 200.

[root@serveroda log]# crsctl get css disktimeout
CRS-4678: Successful get disktimeout 251 for Cluster Synchronization Services.

So I may think that these errors can be ignored. And then I decide to continue by updating the server with the patch

After the reboot I connect and I remark that all components were updated except the BIOS and the ILOM. Then I opened a SR with Oracle and they asked me to follow steps in the following documnent
ODA (Oracle Database Appliance): OAK Bundle Patch failing on ILOM/BIOS component apply (Doc ID 1427885.1), what I did

First I stop the CRS stack

[root@serveroda ~]# /usr/bin/ipmitool sunoem getval /SYS/MB/BIOS/fru_version
Target Value: 52020500
[root@serveroda ~]#

As we can see, now the ILOM is updated and the target value for the BIOS is 52020500 which is the expected value. Then we stop the server

1
[root@serveroda ~]# init 0

4 or 5 minutes after we start the node via the ILOM and then validate that everything is fine
