Solaris X86-64 ORACLE 11.2.0.3.8 patch:
Correct steps:
1. patch for BUG6880880 and OPATCH
2. Patch 11.2.0.3.8 for BUG16902043
I feel like I have to practice it. I think it's easy to get things done. I think you should be careful if you have any questions about the OPATCH version before installing the 11.2.0.3.8 patch.
MOS is still very useful.
