Hi,

Solaris 9, 10.1.0.5 Enterprise edition.

I have an open SR about this, no response for 24 hours.  Scheduled patch
application time is this weekend, downtime (recompile views) in a short
window between regular batch scripts.

I have applied CPU Apr 2008 to a pre-production RAC system.  Only
downtime required was for the recompile views post installation step.

However, we have scheduled application of this CPU to the production
system, which has a single instance, manually managed, physical standby.

Metalink Note 187242.1, states that all Oracle services should be
shutdown on all nodes for the duration of the patch application.

It is going to be difficult convincing the users that their database
will be offline for however long it takes.

Anyone got any ideas while I wait for Oracle Support to come back on
this?
