Upgrading a physical standby database and the method you use

Hi all,

I have an upgrade of a database this weekend from 10g to 11.2.0.4.4. This is a dataguard environment with the one physical standby.

I usually just shutdown the standby and then upgrade the primary. If all goes well, I just startup the standby in mount mode under new oracle home and let the logs upgrade the standby database.

That way in case something happens in primary upgrade, you do have an option to fail over to standby instead of a restoration.

Is this the best method? Or do you prefer the standby up in (and in sync) under new oracle home and it gets upgraded while the primary is upgraded?
