在RAC数据库上安装小补丁时，为了不停止业务，可以使用滚动安装的方式(Rolling)，也就是说，安装补丁的时候，先停止一个数据库实例，在这台节点安装这个补丁，然后启动这个实例，再停止下一个实例并安装这个补丁，这样能够保证一直有可用的数据库实例，业务能够继续。
使用滚动安装的前提是这个补丁是可以Rolling安装的，对于如何判断一个补丁是Rolling的，下面的文章中会提到。
一般来说，大体的Rolling安装的方式如下：
1. 下载补丁。
2. 打补丁之前，最好做一下数据库的备份。
3. 检查这次安装的补丁是否和以往的补丁冲突。
4. 如果有测试库，最好先在测试库测试一下这个补丁。
5. 务必仔细阅读补丁的Readme并按照其中的步骤来打补丁：
1). 用Oracle用户将这个补丁上传到服务器上的一个目录.
2). 解压这个文件：
3). 停止1号机这个ORACLE_HOME下所有的数据库实例＋ASM实例（如果有）;
4). 在1号机打补丁：
$cd $ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/10082277
$opatch apply
5). 然后opatch会问您是否要打下一个节点,这时候执行下面的操作:
6). 启动1号机这个ORACLE_HOME下所有的数据库实例＋ASM实例（如果有）;
7). 停止2号机这个ORACLE_HOME下所有的数据库实例＋ASM实例（如果有）;
8). 在之前打补丁的那个提示符中，确认继续打下一个节点;
9). 启动2号机这个ORACLE_HOME下所有的数据库实例＋ASM实例（如果有）;
10).如果有多个节点，依次执行。
下面是在10.2.0.4 RAC上滚动(Rolling)安装补丁8575528的过程：
1).用oracle用户将这个补丁上传到服务器上的一个目录，比如：$ORACLE_HOME/OPatch下面.
$ pwd
/u01/app/oracle/OPatch
$ ls
docs emdpatch.pl jlib opatch opatch.ini opatch.pl opatchprereqs p8575528_10204_Linux-x86.zip
2).解压这个文件：
su - oracle
$ unzip p8575528_10204_Linux-x86.zip
Archive: p8575528_10204_Linux-x86.zip
creating: 8575528/

$ ls
8575528 docs emdpatch.pl jlib opatch opatch.ini opatch.pl opatchprereqs p8575528_10204_Linux-x86.zip
3).检查这个补丁是不是可以在RAC上滚动安装(rolling)。
$ $ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/opatch query -all /u01/app/oracle/OPatch/8575528|grep rolling
Patch is a rolling patch: true
4).停止1号机数据库的ORACLE_HOME下所有的数据库实例（如果有ASM，也要停止）：
$srvctl stop instance -d
$srvctl stop asm -n
比如：
$srvctl stop instance -d ONEPIECE -i ONEPIECE1
$srvctl stop asm -n nascds14
$ crs_stat -t
Name Type Target State Host

5). 在1号机打补丁：
比如：
$su - oracle
$cd /u01/app/oracle/OPatch/8575528
$opatch apply
