"upgraded to 11.2.0.1" implies that the RDBMS HOME has been upgraded from
10.x or 9.1
An RDBMS Home is never "upgraded to 11.2.0.x". 11.2.0.x is always a fresh
install as an ORACLE_HOME. (although you can do a fresh install of
11.2.0.1 and then upgrade that HOME to 11.2.0.3, the recommendation is that
even 11.2.0.3 would be a fresh install).
It is the database that get's upgraded, not the RDBMS HOME.
Very badly worded instructions.
