Hi there,
I would suggest to refer only official links from Oracle/Solaris/Symmentech, when it comes to patching.
Go to oracle site, search for correct patch, check dependencies etc.
Download patch and read README/INSTALL file.
Search on symantech if they have updated info about the patch you are talking about.
The type of environment you are mentioning looks very critical, so better apply patch by taking proper maintenance window in non business hours with proper rollback plan after implementing in test environment.
