11g is becoming more and more interesting for many Companies.
Since last year I started to implement 11g Oracle Clusterware with 11g ASM and 10g RAC Databases; on the last months I did start to work on pure 11g environments soon to be production, so I thought that having experience on how to migrate 10g RAC environments to 11g was necessaire.
On this post I'm presenting a step by step procedure for migrating 10.2.0.3 Oracle Clusterware, ASM and RDBMS to 11g.
Each step is presented on a separate document:
10g Oracle Clusterware Upgrade to 11.1.0.7
10g ASM Upgrade to 11.1.0.7
10g RAC Database Upgrade to 11.1.0.7

CRS Bundle Patch I was released for version 11.1.0.7.
It is available for Linux x86 and x86-64, AIX 64-bit, HP-UX Itanium and HP-UX RISC 64-bit.
Details can be found on metalink Note 810663.1 11.1.0.X CRS Bundle Patch Information
Before applying the patch be sure to follow instructions on Note 458485.1 : "How to find whether the one-off Patches will conflict or not?", to check for potential conflicts between patches already applied and the new patches.
Apply on test, check and then go on production.

This lab looks into the ASM disk header section that contain the Partnership and Status Table, the PST.
I have found in some limited occasions, specially following storage crashes that result in problems to mount the ASM disk groups, that looking into the PST may help to clarify the extent of the damage and asses if we need to go for a backup or not.
The lab can be found on this document:
Looking into PST Metadata
Note that when reading the Metadata to seee the PST you must add to the kfed command the parameter "aunum = 1", that is written in the guide but is not clear enough.
