I completed a 10.1->11.2 upgrade on our three DBs (2 Prod/1 Dev+QA, ~2TB
total) in August.  In-place worked very well using DBUA.  Much lower
downtime than if it were a 2-system upgrade, at least for our DBs.  I've
never trusted an Oracle wizard for anything in Production before this, so I
was very happy that DBUA took a lot of the more complicated/confusing steps
(e.g. timezone upgrade from V4) completely out of the equation, and did it
very well.

I was able to test the full upgrade of Production using another server,
which was huge for some of the complexities, like needing to drop unused EE
modules.

GL!
