Before You Begin

If you are going to use the local updates option obtain a copy of the non-bootable ISO file. For details, see Obtaining Software and Firmware Updates.

To update a server that is not connected to the web, download the non-bootable updater file (LOCAL UPDATE CONTENT) to a connected server and then make the corresponding ISO file available to the unconnected server using a CD/DVD drive, network location, or USB drive.

Launch Oracle System Assistant.
For instructions, see Accessing and Using Oracle System Assistant.
In the navigation pane, click Get Updates, and then click one of the following tabs:

5. Provide your My Oracle Support (MOS) credentials.
  Enter your MOS user name and password.
  
  Note - If the sign-in process stops, it might be because your user name and password do not match, or because My Oracle Support is not configured to enable your server to get updates. To configure My Oracle Support to enable your server to get updates, see Configure MOS to Enable Oracle System Assistant Updates.
  
  The server downloads the updates and then displays a message asking to reboot the server.
6. Select OK.

2. Click the Show Update button.
  A browser appears.
