SFRAC 5.0MP3RP5 Oracle RAC application notes provides the steps needed for upgrading Oracle RAC to 11gR2. Upgrading to 11gR3 steps are the same. ftp://ftp.veritas.com/pub/support/patchcentral/Solaris/5.0_MP3/sfha/sfha-sol_sparc-5.0MP3RP5-patches.tar.gz_doc/sfrac_appnote_50mp3rp5_sol.pdf

No additional SF product licenses needed as you already have 5.0 SFRAC lic keys.
NOTE: SFHA, SFRAC 5.0MP3 versions already reached 'End of Limited Support' and would reach 'End of Support Life' Aug 2013. We stongly advice you to upgade to 6.x releases.
SFRAC 5.1 ver does not support Oracle RAC 11gR3 because 11gR3 was released after 5.1 got released. Since you have SFRAC 5.0MP3RP5 patches installed, 11gR3 will work on this version. After Oracle RAC upgrade, plan to upgrade SFRAC version to 6.x.
