You might want to check the manual upgrade notes, there are actually a few
more steps involved in a manual upgrade to 11.2.0.3.  There is a post
upgrade check script, and a script that is supposed to run some tasks that
dont require upgrade mode to run.
Usually the upgrade instructions say something about upgrading the standby
binaries first, then upgrade the primary binaries, then run the upgrade sql
scripts on the primary.

If its a dataguard standby, the standby should upgrade by properly with log
shipping.
