Grid control 11g... and unable to patch using deployment procedures

Recently upgraded grid control from 10.2.0.5 to 11g, and now unable to apply patches using the standard deployment procedure.

The job bombs out at the initialize step.

Here's the error
Downloading the patches from My Oracle Support.
Error while evaluating expression:[Error evaluating expression: ${doInitialization(step.guid)} : [no oraInstaller in java.library.path]]


Found note 427577.1, installed patches 9495798, 9705138, and 10388644. Still not working.

Couldn't find any additional info, so opened a ticket with Oracle support...

Resolution log:
1) Reran OPatch Update job and Refresh from Metalink, restarted job, still broke
2) Deleted the job, restarted from scratch again and noticed a warning during the "Search and select software updates" screen -- the component already exists in the software library.
So I chose not to overwrite the version in the software library, and instead of failing at the initialize stage, now the job fails a few steps down at the "Stage Patches" step.

Here's that error:

Received null input stream of binary file, null', for the item identified by, 'Components/Oracle Software Updates/p10248523_11.2.0.2.0_46(Revision: 0.1)'. See log file '$ORACLE_HOME/sysman/log/emoms.log on Oracle Management Service host for more details.


At this point my guess is there's something wrong with the software library not getting upgraded correctly from 10g to 11g. We'll have to see what Oracle support recommends...

--- Update 2/8
Oracle support eventually concurred it's likely a problem with the software library. "Trying fix described in Oracle Internal Support Portal: Document 602886.1", which looks to be a pretty straightforward method to rebuild the software library.

Making a cold backup now, will post more info later.
--- Update 2/17

Rebuilding the software library was successful, but did not resolve our issues with patching. Oracle support suggests that either we used the wrong JDK version (we used 1.6.0_24 rather than the required 1.6.0_18), or I did not use the required 64 bit flag when installing the weblogic server.

So -- we're reinstalling grid control in a new location on the same server to try and see if that resolves our patching issues, and if it does migrate all our targets to it.

--- Update 2/17
Found someone else who experienced a similar error to the one above who also had to reinstall.

Seems this is the correct way to start the weblogic installer for grid (where JAVA_HOME is set to your 1.6.0_18 JDK):
$JAVA_HOME/bin/java -d64 -jar wls1032_generic.jar


As for install guides, I think I would recommend this one from CamOra ICT.
