Cause

The AIX server is not part of a cluster but has the high availability HACMP software installed.The
Oracle Universal Installer (OUI) detects this and assumes RAC is being installed, even if it is not.

Solution

-- To implement the solution, please execute the following steps::
If this is not a RAC( Real Application Clusters) environment then follow the solution below :

1) Shutdown database

2 ) Check whether the inventory list the Patch xxxxxxx. Use the following command :
$ opatch lsinventory -detail

3) If the Patch xxxxxx is listed the rollback the patch :
$ opatch rollback -id xxxxxxx

4) Relink the oracle executable with the option "rac_off"

$ cd $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/lib
$ make -f ins_rdbms.mk rac_off ioracle

5) Then apply the Patch xxxxxx

If the patch has been applied with warnings, then it has been applied successfully.
