From the Upgrade Guide
(http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28300/upgrade.htm#i1011600):

"Resource Limits

If you run out of resources during the upgrade, then increase the resource allocation. After increasing the resource allocation, you should perform a SHUTDOWN ABORT and restart the instance (in UPGRADE mode) before rerunning the catupgrd.sql script or restarting DBUA."

Cheers,
cam
