Another bit of advice that might be fairly generic...
With a recent 11.2.0.3.0 upgrade, we ran into a fatal error during
installation/upgrade (i.e. "invalid entry size, expected XXX got YYY bytes")
which indicated that our installation/upgrade media files (i.e.
"pNNNNNNN_platform_XofY.zip") had been corrupted during download from
support.oracle.com.
Compariing our SHA1 and MD5 checksums against the digest proved that wrong, but
as we were unzipping those ".zip" files onto NFS-mounted file-systems from the
target servers, we instead re-unzipped the downloaded archive files from the
NFS server itself (i.e. on local drives) and the error from OUI disappeared.
Upshot: feel free to stage and use installation/upgrade media on NFS, but be
cautious about unzipping them on NFS.

so bold as to suggest you upgrade straight to 11.2.0.3. There'sa nasty bug with
11.2.0.2 and ASM and RAC that causes all the processes ofthe ASM instance to be
consumed and if the DB instance goes down you needto restart the entire CRS
stack of the node. If you have more than onedatabase in the same cluster and
more than one instance sharing any singlenode then this will bite you. There
are one off patches but they are notincluded in any of the bundled patches
AFAIK.Also, as mentioned before, starting with 11.2 you need to do out of
placeupgrades. One Off and CPUs can be applied in existing homes, but
patchestsand newer versions need a new
home.CheersAlan.-<>--//www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
