Re: clusterware upgrade question

Jason was quicker :) He's absolutely right, as far as I remember back Clusterware was rolling. I haven't used CRS 10.1 though.

Here's an example for 10.2.0.1->10.2.0.5: http://martincarstenbach.wordpress.com/2010/05/26/patching-crs-to-10-2-0-5/

And another one for 10.2 to 11.2:

As a side note, you can defer the ASM upgrade during the 11.2 migration, but I wouldn't recomend it.

No need to do primary and standby database(s) at the same time, but there is the implication that your environment is (slightly) out of sync which is known to irritate managers for a week.
