To apply a PSU we can
download the required PSU and apply using “opatch apply” command of OPATCH
utility. In RAC environment or Oracle restart environment (single node Grid Infrastructure
installation), we would need to download “GI PSU” to patch the Grid
Infrastructure home. We have option to download and apply “GI PSU” patch to
both GI and RDBMS homes as well because GI PSU contains patch for both homes. In
this case we use “opatch auto” (for 11g) or “opatchauto” (for 12c and above)
command to be run as root user so that path can be applied on both homes.

ORA-00245: control file backup failed; target is likely on a local file system
Your RMAN backup command may fail with ORA-00245

along with the error message may look similar to the following. The highlighted
in red is the actual cause of this error which I will explain later in this
article and provide the solution for this.
