Oracle Database Appliance X6 – resize your /u01
Basically on an ODA X6-L the directory /u01 has the size of 100 GB. With seven different ORACLE_HOME directories for the Oracle databases and the Grid Infrastructure software, there is no disk space left for patching the Oracle Database Appliance. ODA patches require between 13 GB and 15 GB free space on /u01 for the new software. Just FYI – during the patch process a new stage directory called /u01/patching is created where the new software is temporarily located. Patch Apply failed – Not enough free Space If there is not enough free space available, update processes like updating a database home fail.
