Checks the validity of the components of the staged software update package.
software_update ‑validate { ‑component component:instruction [,component:instruction]... | ‑all {newerVersionOnly | alwaysInstall} } [{‑disruptive | ‑noDisruptive}] [‑ignoreCompatibilityChecking] [‑forceControllerShutdown] [‑ignoreBadSystemState] [‑ignoreOperationPoolDraining] [‑overridePreviousFailedUpdate] [‑ignoreExistingAlerts] [{‑sessionKey | ‑u admin‑user ‑oracleFS oracle‑fs‑system}] [{‑outputformat | ‑o} { text | xml }] [{‑timeout timeout‑in‑seconds | ‑verify | ‑usage | ‑example | ‑help}]
The validation process confirms that the specified staged software on the Oracle FS System can be installed successfully. The response from this command contains the validation results.
Processes the staged software module only when it is newer than the existing module.
Processes the staged software module regardless of the version of the existing module. Only use this option if you have been instructed by the release notes, a My Oracle Support Knowledge article, or Oracle Customer Support.
Validates the requested components of the software update package that have been staged on the Oracle FS System. The validation process confirms that the specified staged software can be installed successfully on the system.
Takes all of the data paths offline and temporarily places the Oracle FS System in an inactive state.
Instructs the software update process to proceed when hardware issues exist.
Instructs the software update process to proceed when a conflict with the settings in the compatibility matrix occurs.
Instructs the software update process to ignore any existing system alerts and to continue the update.
Instructs the software update process to proceed after waiting for a preset time period for internal tasks to complete, regardless of whether those tasks have completed within that period.
Performs the software update with the data paths and the Oracle FS System remaining active. User applications can continue accessing the storage arrays without interruption.
Instructs the software update process to ignore any failures from a previous update attempt and to continue the update.
The following global options can be used for fully formed fscli commands:
The command completes successfully.
The command returns with an error.
The session times out.
Inspects the validity of the command syntax, not the semantics. Used to test the structure of a command without running the command. Does not determine whether errors would be produced if you issue a structurally correct command with the input provided.
Directs the CLI to prompt you to supply a session key when you issue the command. The CLI displays Sessionkey: as the prompt. To obtain a session key, log in with the ‑returnKey option specified. After the session is established, the session key is displayed in STDOUT. If you request a session key, the ‑sessionkey option is required syntax for all commands that are issued in a given session. In environments with more than one Oracle FS System, the session key is used to determine to which Oracle FS System to direct the command for validation. Session keys are also used to establish two or more CLI sessions when using a shared administrator account.
