oakcli update

Use the oakcli update command to apply Oracle Database Appliance patches.

You can apply patches using the patch bundle. In the 12.1.2.7 release, you can use the --local patching option to patch components one node at a time without impacting the other node. This reduces the downtime when applying the patch.

Note:

For this release, you must use the --local patch option to patch the server and grid components. If you want to update only the Oracle Database software, use the oakcli upgrade command.

Syntax

oakcli update -patch version [--server | --storage | --database][--local} [--noreboot] | [--clean] | [--verify][-h]
