Thanks Chiappa. I agree that it would be best to patch and bring all components to the same version.

We have also located a metalink note which simply recommends that the gsd resource be disabled IF no 9i RAC databases are to coexist with the 10g databases as gsd is esentially required only for backward compatability with 9i. For the time being we have disabled the gsd service and restarted the nodeapps. The status now for all services shows 'online'.

regards
