Thanks Mark.
What you have stated is exactly what I was also wondering, especially when it is a rev. upgrade and not a Sol10-to-Sol11 upgrade.

Subject: Re: OS upgrade for RAC
1-2 days seems pretty arbitrary to me. What, exactly, will break on day 3, that didn't break on day 1 or day 2?
Obviously, probably shouldn't run that way indefinitely, but doing one node per weekend for 4 weekends seems reasonable to me.

We need to upgrade our database and grid to 12c and that requires the OS to be at a minimum of Solaris 10 Update 11. What I would like to find out is that if we do a rolling OS upgrade where we upgrade one RAC node at a time from Solaris10/Update10 to Solaris10/Update11, for how long can these RAC nodes stay out of synch in terms of the OS revision level? Is it possible to upgrade OS on one node every week and spread the entire process over four weeks? Oracle’s response was that the maximum these hosts can stay out of synch is 1-2 days but I would like to validate it from the list.
