It would be a great help.

Thanks Steven for help.
Let me tell you our Server Configuration,

1) Version: 11.2.0.3
2) Operation system version:
Solaris 10 5/09 s10s_u7wos_08 SPARC
3) ASM version: 11.2.0.3
4) ASM file system on shared storage which is coming from SAN (VMAX).

So, just please let me know the steps, like ASM also should be upgraded or not?
and RMAN Catalog also needs to be upgraded?
Thanks

It's all in the documentation, starting with the docs that are included in the patchset. Take some time to read and digest it.

I always upgrade just the ASM instance first. The installer includes an option to do that, and I've always chosen that option.

The database can be upgraded later, it is quite happy to run a release behind ASM.

Unless you have a test system that is totally yours (not being used by developers) I'd strongly encourage you to build yourself a virtual sandbox to practice on before even going to a system that other people are using.
