We have been attempting to install the latest GI PSU on a new AIX system, but having problems with opatchauto failing out with the error below:
oracle.osysmodel.driver.sdk.productdriver.ProductDriverException: Unknown host name in config:hkxtsdbdv1 at oracle.oplan.db.driver.crs.AbstractCrsProductDriver.findHostByName(AbstractCrsProductDriver.java:124) at oracle.oplan.db.driver.crs.AbstractCrsProductDriver.getLocalInfo(AbstractCrsProductDriver.java:774) at oracle.oplan.db.driver.crs.CrsProductDriver.buildSystemInstance(CrsProductDriver.java:225) at oracle.opatchauto.gi.GIPatchingUtil.generateOPatchAutoExecutionStep(GIPatchingUtil.java:202) at oracle.opatchauto.gi.GIPatchingUtil.generateapplysteps(GIPatchingUtil.java:286) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:60) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:37) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:611) at oracle.opatchauto.gi.GIPatching.processOPatchAutoUtility(GIPatching.java:217) at oracle.opatchauto.gi.GIPatching.process(GIPatching.java:275) at oracle.opatchauto.gi.OPatchauto.invokeGIPatching(OPatchauto.java:157) at oracle.opatchauto.gi.OPatchauto.main(OPatchauto.java:91)
Martin Bach has previously blogged about similar issues, although his solution didn’t work for us.
Eventually I realized that our hostname is actually set as uppercase (HKXTSDBDV1). When I changed machine hostname to lower case then patch applied with no problems.
We have raised a bug with Oracle support.
