Updating System Software and Firmware (Oracle System Assistant)

This section provides instructions for using Oracle System Assistant to update all or some of your system software and firmware.

Updating system firmware with Oracle System Assistant takes place in two stages:

1. Download the updates. See Update Oracle System Assistant and the Firmware Files on the Oracle System Assistant USB Drive (Oracle System Assistant Release 1.1) or Update Oracle System Assistant and the Firmware Files on the Oracle System Assistant USB Drive (Oracle System Assistant 1.2 or Newer).

   ---

   Note -  Downloading updates using Oracle System Assistant applies any updates to Oracle System Assistant itself. Other updates such as firmware are made available on the Oracle System Assistant USB drive but are NOT applied.

   ---

2. Install all or some of the updates. See Update Software and Firmware (Oracle System Assistant).

Oracle System Assistant downloads all available updates and provides the ability to install all the updates or to install only selected updates.

Before updating your server using Oracle System Assistant, you must configure the network port that Oracle System Assistant uses to access the web, and you might have to configure My Oracle Support so that your server has permission to obtain the downloads. For details, see Preparing Oracle System Assistant for Updates.
