Re: Patch levels for Exadata primary and non-Exadata physical standby databases

Might be worth reading the MOS note:

Exadata Bundle Patches and Non-Exadata Systems (Doc ID 1459365.1)

"The answer is "*No*" if customers do not have an affiliated Exadata system, they *should not* apply Exadata Bundle Patches to non-Exadata systems. The patching route for non-Exadata customers should be via CPU/PSUs."

This advice is then contradicted in the same note for 12.1.0.2, which it seems Oracle are very happy to allow you to patch a non-exa system with an exadata BP.

I'd be careful on pre-12.1.0.2 DBs though.
