Yeah but I can load 11g on the server with a 10g instance running and create a dummy db in 11g right? As long as I have 2 different oracle homes?

ciao,
Brian

Either/Or

Just don't run two independent instances against the same database at the same time.

Personally, I prefer an out-of-place upgrade whenever possible. That allows me to create a dummy database and verify a few things without impacting production at all. Then simply stop the old prod instance, start up prod using the new instance (go through the appropriate "mount upgrade" if required) and usually you're golden.

It's all in the docs.
