As mentioned in upgrading from 12.1.0.1 to 12.1.0.2 the pre-reqs for upgrading to 12.1.0.2 has changed and most notably the GI management repository is no longer optional. Prior to the upgrade OCR and Vote files were moved to a diskgroup with sufficient space for GI management repository. Rest of the steps are listed assuming these pre-reqs are completed.
1. Before the GI upgrade backup the OCR manually. This could be used in downgrading the GI from 12.1.0.2 to 11.2.0.4 later on.
2. The RAC has been setup with role separation. This requires certain directories having permission so that both grid user and oracle user is able to write and read to them. Make cfgtoollogs writable to both grid and oracle, usually this is writable only for one user and group permission is only read and executable. Without write permission on this directory following error could be seen when upgrading GI.
PRCR-1158 : Directory /opt/app/oracle/cfgtoollogs/asmca in file path does not exist PRCR-1154 : Failed to create file output stream with file name: /opt/app/oracle/cfgtoollogs/asmca/asmca-150325PM054138.logCouldn't get lock for /opt/app/oracle/cfgtoollogs/asmca/asmca-150325PM054138.log chmod 775 $ORACLE_BASE/cfgtoollogsAnother directory requires write permission for grid user is the dbca inside cfgtoollogs.
chmod 770 $ORACLE_BASE/cfgtoollogs/dbcaAs the GI management repository is a database the admin directory is another directory that requires write permission for grid user. Without this permission creation of GI management repository will fail with following
Cannot create directory "/opt/app/oracle/admin/_mgmtdb/dpdump". chmod 770 $ORACLE_BASE/adminThese permissions must be set on all the nodes.
3.GI upgrade is an out of place upgrade. Create a new GI home on all nodes.
mkdir -p /opt/app/12.1.0/grid2 chown -R grid:oinstall 12.1.0 chmod -R 775 12.1.04. Before the upgrade check GI active version is 11.2.0.4 and upgrade state
[grid@rhel6m1 grid]$ crsctl query crs releaseversion Oracle High Availability Services release version on the local node is [11.2.0.4.0] [grid@rhel6m1 grid]$ crsctl query crs softwareversion Oracle Clusterware version on node [rhel6m1] is [11.2.0.4.0] [grid@rhel6m1 grid]$ crsctl query crs activeversion -f Oracle Clusterware active version on the cluster is [11.2.0.4.0]. The cluster upgrade state is [NORMAL].5. Verify the pre-reqs with orachk (refer 1268927.2) and cluvfy

cluvfy stage -post crsinst or orachk -u -o postto check for any post upgrade issues. If satisfied with the upgrade uninstall the 11.2.0.4 version of grid infrastructure software. This conclude the upgrade of grid infrastructure from 11.2.0.4 to 12.1.0.2.

It seems even though the GI gets upgraded the TFA does not and continue to run out of the old 11.2.0.4 GI home. Even on the init script (init.tfa) the TFA home is listed inside the 11.2.0.4 GI home.
more /etc/init.d/init.tfa | grep grid TFA_HOME=/opt/app/11.2.0/grid4/tfa/rhel6m1/tfa_homeWhile this old TFA is present even unlocking and patching the new 12c GI home will not install the TFA in the 12c home even though output says upgrading or installing TFA.

One is to uninstall the 11.2.0.4 GI home or TFA from 11.2.0.4 and then unlock and patch the 12c home. This has to be done on all nodes.
