This article speaks of applying a GI PSU (GI+DB)patch in a standby environment on oracle 12c setup. Oracle 12c makes use of a new utility "opatchauto" to apply the patches unlike the "opatch" used in prior 12c versions. In this demo, I'm applying 12.1.0.2.2 GI PSU in a dataguard environment.
Environment:
Primary server: ora1-1
Primary database: TARGETDB
Standby server: ora1-4
Standby database: TARSTDB
PDB name plugged into the primary and standby: TARGETPDB
As a pre-requisite, before proceeding, make sure that the standby is in sync with the primary database.
Primary Database Details:
SYS@targetdb> select status,instance_name,database_role,open_mode from v$database,v$Instance;
STATUS INSTANCE_NAME DATABASE_ROLE OPEN_MODE
-------- --------------- ---------------- --------------------
OPEN targetdb PRIMARY READ WRITE
SYS@targetdb> show pdbs
CON_ID CON_NAME OPEN MODE RESTRICTED
--------- ------------ -------------- ------------
2 PDB$SEED READ ONLY NO
3 TARGETPDB READ WRITE NO
SYS@targetdb> select max(sequence#) from v$archived_log;
MAX(SEQUENCE#)
--------------
95
Standby Database Details:
SYS@tarstdb> select status,instance_name,database_role,open_mode from v$database,v$Instance;
STATUS INSTANCE_NAME DATABASE_ROLE OPEN_MODE
-------- ---------------- ---------------- --------------------
MOUNTED tarstdb PHYSICAL STANDBY MOUNTED
SYS@tarstdb> show pdbs
CON_ID CON_NAME OPEN MODE RESTRICTED
------ ----------- ----------- -----------
2 PDB$SEED MOUNTED
3 TARGETPDB MOUNTED
SYS@tarstdb> select max(sequence#) from v$archived_log where applied='YES';
MAX(SEQUENCE#)
--------------
95
From the above query result, it's clear that the standby is in sync with the primary. Now, defer the log shipping on the primary to the standby database.
SYS@targetdb> alter system set log_archive_dest_state_2=defer;
System altered.
Look out for the OPATCH utility version and ensure that the minimum version is 12.1.0.1.5
On the primary database server:
[oracle@ora1-1 ~]$ /u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0.2/grid/OPatch/opatch version
OPatch Version: 12.1.0.1.10
OPatch succeeded.
[oracle@ora1-1 ~]$ /u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0.2/db_1/OPatch/opatch version
OPatch Version: 12.1.0.1.10
OPatch succeeded.
On the standby database server:
[oracle@ora1-4 ~]$ /u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0.2/grid/OPatch/opatch version
OPatch Version: 12.1.0.1.10
OPatch succeeded.
[oracle@ora1-4 ~]$ /u01/app/oracle/product/12.1.0.2/db_1/OPatch/opatch version
OPatch Version: 12.1.0.1.10
OPatch succeeded.
Check if any patch conflicts exist on both primary and the standby server.

Just deviating from the topic, I was very much interested to know what are all the steps that OPATCHAUTO actually does. With 12c, we have an option called "-generateSteps" to get the steps of what opatchauto does internally. Let me get it here:

Moving on, shutdown the standby database and apply the patch on the standby server.

As ROOT user, apply the patch using "opatchauto" utility. If no Oracle home paths are specified using the "-oh" option, then the patch would be applied on both GI and DB home.
By default, OPATCHAUTO looks for the OCM response file (ocm.rsp) under the "$ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/ocm/bin" location (ORACLE_HOME here refers to the home from where OPATCHAUTO is called - in our case it's GI home). If the file ocm.rsp is located under this location, then there is no need for you to explicitly specify the location using "-ocmrf" option while executing the "opatchauto" command. If the file ocm.rsp exists in a non-default location, then specify its path using the "-ocmrf" while executing "opatchauto". In my case, the file existed under the default location and hence skipping the usage of "-ocmrf" option.

Now we see that the GI and DB patches have been applied on the Grid and DB home on the standby server.
Patching Primary Database:
Moving on to the primary server, the patch is applied in the same way as on the standby using the OPATCHAUTO utility. Here too, the OCM.RSP file is placed under the default location $ORACLE_HOME/OPatch/ocm/bin (ORACLE_HOME here refers to the home from where OPATCHAUTO is called - in our case it's GI home).:
OPATCHAUTO automatically brings down the database before patching and starts it up after the patch is applied.

Do not run any patching scripts on the standby database. Invoke the "datapatch" tool to complete the post patch SQL actions on the primary database.
Datapatch in a multitenant environment applies the SQL changes only to the ROOT (CDB$ROOT), PDB$SEED and any open PDBs.
On the primary, datapatch applies the changes on the CDB$ROOT, PDB$SEED and the PDB TARGETPDB (as this PDB is OPEN):

The SQL changes in terms of redo will be applied on to the standby database as it is received from the primary.
You can have the SQL changes tested on the standby database by having it converted into a READ WRITE on mode and this is possible by converting the physical standby database into a SNAPSHOT standby database.
Let me have the patch tested on the physical standby database by converting it into SNAPSHOT standby.
SYS@tarstdb> select database_role from v$database;

Conclusion:
PSU patch is applied on both primary and standby database Oracle Home. In addition, the SQL changes have been successfully applied on the primary database and the corresponding redo on to the standby database. We can now be confident enough that the bug for which the patch was applied would not be seen on the standby database when a role transition occurs.
