Hi,
It is not to true to say you cannot do a rolling clusterware upgrade.
This is very much possible. Here is a link to performing a rolling clusterware
upgrade from 10.2.0.3 -> 10.2.0.4:
https://jarneil.wordpress.com/2008/06/23/rolling-oracle-clusterware-upgrade-to-10204/
You can also see from there how to do a 10.2.0.3 to 11.1.0.6 clusterware
upgrade in a rolling fashion.
Where you get the problem is that ASM is not rolling until 11.1, however this
should not prevent clusterware itself being upgraded in a rolling fashion at
10gR2.
cheers,
jason.
