Purpose

This note lists the top opatch or patch related questions or problems in Oracle Clusterware (11gR2 Grid Infrastructure or pre-11.2 CRS) and RAC environments.

It does not intend to replace the readme that comes with a patch, rather it's recommended to go through the patch readme thoroughly and follow it. Occasionally a patch readme may contain incorrect information, in that case, please engage Oracle Support to seek clarification.
