Hi Niall,
Exadata patching is a completely different beast (Frits could confirm-taking waiting to whole new levels) with its own cycle and release dependencies.
For everyone else's RAC and Oracle Restart things are different with 11.2.0.2: Grid infrastructure is always an out of place patch, I.e you need a new Oracle home. The RDBMS binaries can be patched in place or out of place, the latter is preferred.
For Linux RAC only: if you are on 11.2.0.1 you have to install a PSU (not sure if 11.2.0.1.1 or 11.2.0.1.2) before running rootupgrade.sh in your new Grid Home. I think this is documented as an alert in the 11.2.0.2 availability and ... mos note.
Hth,
Martin

Yes and no 11.2.0.2 can be installed as a patch, the official word going forward is full install. Any folks running exadata - is that feasible.

Janine, if i'm reading this right, 11.2 and forward patches will be full installs(eventually forced into a new oracle home).
Someone feel free to correct me.
