Apply CPU Patch in a DataGuard Physical Standby Database Configuration

Apply CPU Patch in a DataGuard Physical Standby Database Configuration
I seen lot of questions in OTN on patching of DataGuard, Recently I have applied CPU Patch on production database, I like to give step-by-step procedure how to apply CPUJAN2012(13343244).
Standby is in MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE Mode with Data Broker Enabled. When managing with broker, there are some steps which we need to manage with Broker instead of SQL. Which is highly recommended, If not there may be issues in Broker configuration.

1. In Primary disable log shipping to the standby & Stop MRP on standby
2. Shutdown Standby Database & Listener
3. Install CPU patch on Standby
4. Shutdown Primary database & Listener.
5. Apply Patch on Primary & Run Post installation Scripts (catbundle.sql)
6. Re-enable Log shipping on Primary
7. Monitor the redo apply from Primary to Standby
