Solution Description

The problem is because of the library file (libclntsh.so.11.1) is not released by some process. Most probably it will EM console. Either you can stop emctl using following command or kill the process which is holding the library file. You can find out the process which holding the lib file using /sbin/fuser command.

Option 1: emctl stop

Option 2:

$ /sbin/fuser /u00/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.3/db_1/lib/libclntsh.so.11.1

/u00/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.3/db_1/lib/libclntsh.so.11.1:  4212m

$ kill -9 4212

Now you can proceed with patching.
