I had to recently patch several ODAs from 19.28 to 19.30, and one ODA patching failed running the prepatch report which is mandatory and helpful before going to patch the ODA. For each step (server, grid or storage) a prepatch report is needed. I had to troubleshoot and I could solve the problem, and I thought it would be more than interesting to share it, expecting it might be helpful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Problem description<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

After dcs-admin update, dcs components update, repository update with grid and rdbms clones, I have run a prepatch report, and decided to run it already for all components : server, grid and storage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is why we will see in the output following part : OS, ILOM, ORACHKSERVER, SERVER, STORAGE, RHPGI, GI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Running the prepatch report:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Analysing problem and root cause<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
I first checked if the package is really missing:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n[root@ODA01 ~]# rpm -qa | grep -i rhn-client-tools\n[root@ODA01 ~]#\n<\/pre>\n<\/br>\n\n\n\n
And it was definitively missing, when on other ODA it was existing:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n[root@ODA02 ~]# rpm -qa | grep -i rhn-client-tools\npython3-rhn-client-tools-2.8.16-13.0.6.module+el8.7.0+21032+057d0dfe.x86_64\nrhn-client-tools-2.8.16-13.0.6.module+el8.7.0+21032+057d0dfe.x86_64\n[root@ODA02 ~]#\n<\/pre>\n<\/br>\n\n\n\n
 I checked in the history of the package management if one transaction could have affected this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n[root@ODA01 ~]# dnf history | grep -i rhn-client-tools\n     2 | remove -y rhn-client-tools                                    | 2024-03-12 17:27 | Removed        |   16  <\n[root@ODA01 ~]#\n<\/pre>\n<\/br>\n\n\n\n
And it was the case! Someone manually removed the package 2 years ago. And also we can see that 16 dependencies rpm have been removed as well. What a mess!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I take the opportunity here to remind that an ODA IS AN APPLIANCE, and not a normal linux server. Any yum or dnf changes will have huge impact on the ODA patching, knowing that each version is coming with its bundle patch version, and the ODA will lock the repository. If a package is needed (for example, veeam agent plugin) it is always better to prioritise an installation with a tar file which will be totally transparent for the ODA patching. Otherwise it is better to install each rpm individually, avoiding if possible yum or dnf. The worst of course is removing a package with several dependencies. dnf remove including dependencies is of course something that I would never recommend to run on an ODA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The second question we can raise, is why now? We have been running several version from 2024 to 2026 and it seems only the 19.30 version is complaining about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Of course, I do not need to mention that such action has not been performed on the other ODA from the customer field, and this is why the patching did not raise this issue on the other ODAs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Resolution<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The ODA had no internet access. That was a pity as I could have easily installed the needed packages that were removed from the official oracle linux distribution package manager, using dnf. So the only way of resolution for me was to download and install each package manually. In any case it was not worth to try otherwise the patching activity could have been stopped here. Stuff work as I had to download and install about 16 RPMs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the beginning, I tried to find the needed rpm from the Oracle linux distribution (yum.oracle.com) directly, but I need to say that it was not that so easy to find all the rpm. Also the maintenance windows was running on, and I had to find quickly a solution. I then get used of pkgs.org project which is a kind of search engine linking to the appropriate distribution mirror to download the package. We can see the home page of each project. It was much helpful because you can easily find the package, and in the download part it refers you to the exact rpm package you need from the official documentation. I found it so helpful knowing the time constraints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For example for rhn-setup package, we can easily find it from pkgs.org:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
https:\/\/oraclelinux.pkgs.org\/8\/ol8-appstream-x86_64\/rhn-setup-2.8.16-13.0.6.module+el8.7.0+21032+057d0dfe.x86_64.rpm.html<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the download part you will find the exact distribution link for the source and the binary, as well as the mirror, as displayed in next table:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Type<\/strong><\/td>URL<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>
Binary Package<\/strong><\/td>https:\/\/yum.oracle.com\/repo\/OracleLinux\/OL8\/appstream\/x86_64\/getPackage\/rhn-setup-2.8.16-13.0.6.module+el8.7.0+21032+057d0dfe.x86_64.rpm<\/td><\/tr>
Source Package<\/strong><\/td>https:\/\/yum.oracle.com\/repo\/OracleLinux\/OL8\/appstream\/x86_64\/getPackageSource\/rhn-client-tools-2.8.16-13.0.6.module+el8.7.0+21032+057d0dfe.src.rpm<\/td><\/tr>
Mirror<\/strong><\/td>yum.oracle.com<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
So the package comes from the official distribution, and you can confirm for each of your downloads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I could install the first package which are needed for rhn-client-tools:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
