Cloud Automation Update of a VM Cluster

This topic provides the details and procedure to manage the cloud automation update of a VM Cluster.

Before you begin, review the following:

• Oracle periodically applies updates to the database tools and agent software required for cloud tooling and automation. You can configure a preferred time window for applying these updates to a VM Cluster.

• Oracle checks daily for available VM Cluster cloud automation updates during the configured time window and applies them when applicable. If Oracle cannot begin applying an update within the configured time window because of an underlying long-running process, it checks again during the configured time window on the following day.

• A freeze period can extend for a maximum of 45 days from the start date. Oracle automation applies updates that contain critical security fixes with a CVSS score of 9 or higher, even during a configured freeze period.

Procedure

Perform the following steps in the Console.

1. On the Data Infrastructures list page, select the Data Infrastructure that you want to work with. If you need help finding the list page or the Data Infrastructure, see List Data Infrastructures.

2. On the Data Infrastructure details page, select the VM Clusters tab to view the list of all VM Clusters.

3. On the VM Clusters tab, select the VM Cluster that you want to work with.

4. On the VM Cluster details page, from the Actions menu, select Manage cloud automation update.

5. In the Manage cloud automation update panel, provide the following details.

   • Daily timeslot to apply update begins at: Select the start time.

   • Daily timeslot to apply update ends at: Select the end time.

   • Enable early access for cloud tools update: Turn on this option to enable early access for the VM Cluster. VM Clusters designated for early access receive updates one week before the updates are available to other VM Clusters.

   • Configure freeze period: Turn on this option to define a period during which Oracle automation does not apply cloud automation updates.

   • Freeze period start date: Select the start date. The freeze period begins at 12:00 AM UTC on this date.

   • Freeze period end date: Select the end date. The freeze period ends at 11:59 PM UTC on this date.
