Hi Niall,

Exadata patching is a completely different beast (Frits could confirm-taking 
waiting to whole new levels) with its own cycle and release dependencies.

For everyone else's RAC and Oracle Restart things are different with 11.2.0.2: 
Grid infrastructure is always an out of place patch, I.e you need a new Oracle 
home. The RDBMS binaries can be patched in place or out of place, the latter is 
preferred.

For Linux RAC only: if you are on 11.2.0.1 you have to install a PSU (not sure 
if 11.2.0.1.1 or 11.2.0.1.2) before running rootupgrade.sh in your new Grid 
Home. I think this is documented as an alert in the 11.2.0.2 availability and 
... mos note.

Hth,

Martin

Yes and no  11.2.0.2 can be installed as a patch, the official word going
forward is full install. Any folks running exadata - is that feasible.

Janine, if i'm reading this right, 11.2 and forward patches will be full
installs(eventually forced into a new oracle home).

Someone feel free to correct me.
