in-place vs. out-of-place patch on standalone grid infrastructure/ASM

We are currently using in-place method to apply PSU on Grid Infrastructure/ASM, and out-of-place patch on DB binary. The reason is that patching ASM is quite different from patching DB binary, which requires a lot more work/steps and have to shutdown the entire Grid stack. The only advantage by doing the out-of-place patching on ASM is that we can pre-laydown ASM binary with the patch, but still need to go through those steps as otherwise in-place patch.  On the other hand, out-of-place patching requires a lot more disk space.

I am talking about patching 11.2.0.3 Grid Infrastructure on standalone server.

Howdy, Stranger!
