3.6.2 Upgrading Oracle VM Guest to 2.2.0.0.0

You can either upgrade Oracle VM Guest to 2.2.0.0.0 or create Oracle VM Guest 2.2.0.0.0. See Creating Oracle VM Guest 2.2.0.0.0.

Note:

You can only upgrade Oracle VM Guest on the same Linux operating system. For example, you cannot upgrade Oracle VM Guest that is installed on a Linux 5 operating system to Oracle VM Guest 2.2.0.0.0 that is installed on a Linux 6 operating system.

You upgrade Oracle VM Guest to 2.2.0.0.0 by applying the patch on each Oracle VM Guest in your system. The patch upgrades Oracle VM Guest to 2.2.0.0.0.

Note:

You must apply the patch mentioned in this section on each Oracle VM Guest and not on Oracle VM Server.

To upgrade Oracle VM Guest to 2.2.0.0.0:

1. Navigate to My Oracle Support and download patch number 26722892:Upgrade Utility for Exalytics Virtualized Guest from 2.0.1.4.0 to 2.2.0.0.0 that contains the p26722892_20020_Linux-x86-64.zip.

2. Log in to Oracle VM Guest as the root user.

3. Using FTP, navigate to a temporary (/tmp) directory on the Exalytics Oracle VM Guest.

4. Enter the following commands to navigate to the /tmp directory and unzip the zip file:

   # cd/tmp

   # unzip p20618011_10060_Linux-x86-64.zip

5. Disable all existing yum repositories (if any), by performing the following actions:

   1. Enter the following command to check for any existing repositories:

      Check /etc/yum/repos.d/ directory

   2. Set enabled=0 for each existing repository.

6. Enter the following command to run the upgrade script:

   # ./update.sh

7. Restart Oracle VM Guest from Oracle VM Manager.

8. Enter the following commands to verify the current RPM versions:

   • # uname - rm

     The output looks similar to the following:

     2.6.39-400.248.3.el6uek x86_64
     

   • # cat /etc/oracle-release

     The output looks similar to the following:

     Oracle Linux Server release 6.8
     

9. To verify that the upgrade was successful, enter the following command:

   # imageinfo
