Recently for multiple customers I ran into issues while running "adop phase=fs_clone".
The error message itself is a bit strange, the error message is as follows:
/u01/install/APPS/fs_ne/EBSapps/log/adop/52/20240116_210955/fs_clone/prodebsapp01/TXK_SYNC_create/txkADOPPreparePhaseSynchronize.log: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lines #(424-426): TIME : Tue Jan 16 22:02:45 2024 FUNCTION: main::runFSCloneApply [ Level 1 ] ERRORMSG: /u01/install/APPS/fs2/EBSapps/comn/adopclone_prodebsapp01/bin/adclone.pl did not go through successfully. /u01/install/APPS/fs_ne/EBSapps/log/adop/52/20240116_210955/fs_clone/prodebsapp01/TXK_SYNC_create/fsclone_apply/FSCloneApplyAppsTier_01162152.log: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lines #(1176-1180): ERROR: RC-50410: Fatal: OUI Registration failed with an Abnormal Termination error during call from ouicli.pl.

Analyzing the error further I realized that this is around the (rather old) version of Oracle Installer trying to find the available space on the disk. With E-Business Suite running on OCI File Storage Service (FSS) this amount of available disk storage is basically "unlimited"; df reveals 8 Exabyte of free storage.
df showing tremendous amount of free storage
There are two solutions for this:
- The support note "Applying the Latest AD and TXK Release Update Packs to Oracle E-Business Suite Release 12.2" (Doc ID 1617461.1) suggests to first apply a patch and then set the new parameter s_forms_oui_tmpdir to a directory with e.g. less than 200 GB of free storage space. By default that is set to /tmp which should be fine since it isn't on FSS.
- As an alternative you can set the free space reported by FSS within the OCI console as described over there: https://docs.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/File/Tasks/change-file-system-size-mt.htm
Modified "Reported size" and "Reported inodes" in OCI Console
We went for the second approach since it does not require to apply a patch and set more parameters. Setting the size to 600 GB worked both to
- improve the reporting of space used in our checkmk based monitoring tool
- solve the issue described above.
On one environment I still ran into issues with 600 GiB/Gil; there 490 worked.
