Hello Lisa
2) I do not open the database to general use during patching, RAC or no RAC.
Let me finish the upgrade in peace and I will give you a working
database AFTER I finish.
3) Check the docs, and see if there are corrections for the CRS.
I will recommend running the patch against all three homes, just to
be sure.
I do not check CPU for specific corrections. I just run it against
all homes.
About the template databases, I never use them.
They are usually in version x.0.1 and you have to upgrade then.
I first install software only and upgrade and patch it, then I build a
database from scratch.

My questions are:
1. Has anyone ever had a CPU patch go south because the database
was in use?
2. Am I the only one who is nervous running something that is
modifying the data dictionary while the database is open for
general use?
3. Are there CPU patches for the clusterware? I don't see any.
And as a tidbit, to those of you who may not already know this: When
creating a database with dbca, don't use the template databases if you
can avoid it (general purpose, data warehouse, transaction
processing). These preconfigured databases save time within the
database creation process, but they include the java engine within the
database. It takes a long time to patch the jvm.
