DBUA0 Instance during 11g Upgrade

Recently when upgrading to 11g Release 1 , I found an unknown instance DBUA0 running on the server. I could not connect to the DBUA0 Instance to check further.

Raised a ticket with Oracle Support and found that DBUA0 is an Instance created by DBUA when upgrading the database and the presence of the DBUA0 process does not indicate a problem with the upgrade or that any action is required.

DBUA shuts down the instance after the upgrade is completed but for some reasons it did not.
So I had to reboot the server to make sure every thing with the upgrade is fine.
