Well, if any users have 'restricted session' (because they have "DBA" - don't ask) - the standard 'shutdown immediate/startup restrict' just will not do. This is when the tried and true "REMOVE NETWORK CABLE FROM SERVER" method of restricted session is the only way to perform a real upgrade (from the console).
