I want to do OS patching on prod and hot standby.  What is the advised
procedure for maintenance on the two systems?  I would think patching
the standby should come first in case it blows something up. Oracle has
a defer switch you can throw on prod to tell it to relax on log shipping
to the standby.  Do we have that here?

Sorry if this is in the fine manual.
