Run pre root script and apply the GRID patch

1) Stop all databases rununing out of this ORACLE_HOME and unmount ACFS filesystem

2) Run the pre root script
[grid@gract1 gract1]$ $GRID_HOME>/crs/install/rootcrs.pl -prepatch

3) Apply the CRS patch 
[grid@gract1 gract1]$   $GRID_HOME/OPatch/opatch apply -oh $GRID_HOME

Repeat now all above steps for each RAC node !!

Run the datapatch tool for each Oracle Database
