Checking Patch Prerequisites

You can use the MySQL Cloud Service Patching page to check the prerequisites of a patch before you apply it to a database deployment .

1. Open the MySQL Cloud Service console.

   For detailed instructions, see Accessing MySQL Cloud Service Console.

2. Click the deployment to which you want to apply a patch.

   The MySQL Cloud Service Overview page is displayed.

3. Click the Administration tile, and then click the Patching tab.

   The MySQL Cloud Service Patching page is displayed. A list of patches you can apply appears in the Available Patches section.

4. In the entry for the patch whose prerequisites you want to check, click the menu and then select Precheck.

   If you have previously checked prerequisites on the selected patch, the Patch Precheck Service window displays, showing the results of the previous check and asking you to confirm another precheck. In this case, click Precheck to continue.

   The Patching page redisplays, showing a status message that your request has been submitted.
