Parameter	Description
-help	Displays the gridSetup.sh -switchGridhome command help.
-zeroDowntimeGIPatching	Switch the active Oracle Grid Infrastructure home to the current home without stopping the databases and services.
-skipDriverUpdate	Specify this option to skip updating the operating system drivers, such as Oracle ACFS and Oracle ASMFD. Note: If the patch that you are installing contains operating system driver updates, then you must use -skipDriverUpdate to avoid restarting your server.

-drainTimeoutInSeconds	Drain the database services before stopping the database instances on the current node. Specify the drain timeout value in seconds.
-resume	Resume operation to run pending and failed jobs.
