I am in the process of upgrading grid from 11.2.0.3 to 11.2.0.4 on RedHat LinuxV5. I have installed the grid software. I would now like to install the latest PSU to the software so that once I upgrade grid I don't have to take any down time to install the latest PSU. I have always done this with the oracle RDMBS and have had no problems. But I seem to be having trouble applying the PSU patch to a grid home that is not currently in use. Has anyone done this before or can someone give me a high level instructions.

I am also thinking about keeping 2 grid homes on the server. I will run grid from one home. Then when the next PSU patches come out I will apply them to the grid home not in use. Once I am ready to push the new PSU out I will shutdown HAS, rename the gird homes and start grid back up. Then I should be on the new PSU. Does anyone apply the grid PSU like that? Is this a good or bad idea? What are the problems with this?

Thanks
