Answer 1

Please unzip the file to a folder say patches.
unzip p13348650_112030_Linux-x86-64.zip -d /tmp/patches
Now specfiy the command opatch as below
opatch auto /tmp/patches -oh /u01/app/grid/11.2.0.3 -ocmrf /u01/app/grid/11.2.0.3/OPatch/ocm/bin/ocm.rsp
As patches folder has a file bundle.xml, 13348650(GIpatch) and 13343438(db/asm patch) which is used by opatch, here bundle.xml is need by opatch utility.
<bundle type = "GI_BUNDLE">
<entities>
<entity location="13348650">
<target type="crs"/>
<target type="siha"/>
</entity>
<entity location="13348650/custom/server/13348650">
<target type="rac" />
</entity>
<entity location="13343438">
<target type="crs"/>
<target type="rac"/>
<target type="sidb"/>
<target type="siha"/>
</entity>
</entities>
</bundle>
Hope i made some sense to you
Thank you
