The following blog will provide the necessary steps to upgrade the Grid Infrastructure from 12.1 to 12.2, for a Standalone Server.
One of the new features of GI 12.2 is the usage of the AFD (Oracle ASMFD Filter Driver).

Assumptions :

 You have installed Oracle GI 12.1 as grid user
 You have installed Oracle Database 12.1 as oracle user
 You have configured the groups asmadmin,asmoper,asmdba
 You installed oracle-rdbms-server-12cr2-preinstall rpm
 You patched your Oracle GI to PSU July 2017 (combo patch 25901062 to patch Oracle stack 12.1 , GI & RDBMS)
 [root]mkdir /u01/app/grid/product/12.2.0/grid/
 [root]chown -R grid:oinstall /u01/app/grid/product/12.2.0/grid/
 --stop all dbs that are using ASM
 [oracle]srvctl stop database -d ORCL

Installation : Tasks

[grid]cd /u01/app/grid/product/12.2.0/grid/
[grid]unzip /stage/linuxx64_12201_grid_home.zip
[grid]./gridSetup.sh
	Choose Upgrade Oracle Grid Infrastructure option.
	Confirm that all Oracle DBs using ASM are stopped.
	Check :
        Oracle base : /u01/app/grid/  
        Software Location : /u01/app/grid/product/12.2.0/grid/
		
	Uncheck "Automatically run configuration scripts". Is not recommanded by Oracle, but if you are doing like that 
is very possible that your upgrade process is dying without any output. 
	So at the right moment you will be asked to run rootUpgrade.sh maually.
	Click Next and validate that all the pre-requirements are confirmed.
	Monitor the progress and run the script rootUpgrade.sh when is prompted
	Once your action completed succesfully:
[grid@dbisrv04 ~]$ . oraenv
ORACLE_SID = [grid] ? +ASM
The Oracle base has been set to /u01/app/grid

[grid@dbisrv04 ~]$ crsctl query has softwareversion
Oracle High Availability Services version on the local node is [12.2.0.1.0]

Migrating ASM disks from ASMlib to AFD : Tasks

Oracle ASM Filter Driver (Oracle ASMFD) simplifies the configuration and management of disk devices by eliminating the need to rebind disk devices used with Oracle ASM each time the system is restarted.
Oracle ASM Filter Driver (Oracle ASMFD) is a kernel module that resides in the I/O path of the Oracle ASM disks. Oracle ASM uses the filter driver to validate write I/O requests to Oracle ASM disks.

Step1:

[grid@dbisrv04 ~]$ asmcmd dsget
parameter:
profile:

[grid@dbisrv04 ~]$ asmcmd dsset '/dev/xvda*','ORCL:*','AFD:*'

[grid@dbisrv04 ~]$ asmcmd dsget
parameter:/dev/xvda*, ORCL:*, AFD:*
profile:/dev/xvda*,ORCL:*,AFD:*

Step2:

[root]export ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/grid/product/12.2.0/grid/
[root]$GRID_HOME/bin/crsctl stop has -f

Step3:

root@dbisrv04 ~]# $ORACLE_HOME/bin/asmcmd afd_configure

ASMCMD-9524: AFD configuration failed 'ERROR: ASMLib deconfiguration failed'
Cause: acfsload is running.To configure AFD oracleasm and acfsload must be stopped
Solution: stop acfsload and rerun asmcmd afd_configure

[root@dbisrv04 ~]# oracleasm exit
[root@dbisrv04 ~]# $ORACLE_HOME/bin/acfsload stop

root@dbisrv04 ~]# $ORACLE_HOME/bin/asmcmd afd_configure
AFD-627: AFD distribution files found.
AFD-634: Removing previous AFD installation.
AFD-635: Previous AFD components successfully removed.
AFD-636: Installing requested AFD software.
AFD-637: Loading installed AFD drivers.
AFD-9321: Creating udev for AFD.
AFD-9323: Creating module dependencies - this may take some time.
AFD-9154: Loading 'oracleafd.ko' driver.
AFD-649: Verifying AFD devices.
AFD-9156: Detecting control device '/dev/oracleafd/admin'.
AFD-638: AFD installation correctness verified.
Modifying resource dependencies - this may take some time.

Step4:

[grid@dbisrv04 ~]$ $ORACLE_HOME/bin/asmcmd afd_state
ASMCMD-9526: The AFD state is 'LOADED' and filtering is 'ENABLED' on host 'dbisrv04.localdomain'

Step5:

[root]$ORACLE_HOME/bin/crsctl stop has

Step6:

[grid@dbisrv04 ~]$ $ORACLE_HOME/bin/asmcmd afd_refresh

Step 11b: Introduce new disks with AFD

[root]. oraenv
[root]+ASM
[root@dbisrv04 ~]# asmcmd afd_label DISK10 /dev/sdo1 --init
ASMCMD-9521: AFD is already configured
[root@dbisrv04 ~]# asmcmd afd_label DISK10 /dev/sdo1
[root@dbisrv04 ~]# asmcmd afd_lslbl
[root@dbisrv04 ~]# /u01/app/grid/product/12.2.0/grid/bin/asmcmd afd_lsdsk
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DISK02                      ENABLED   /dev/sdg1
DISK03                      ENABLED   /dev/sdh1
