dbaascli cswlib download

The cswlib download subcommand of the dbaascli utility downloads available software images and makes them available in your Exadata Cloud at Customer environment.

Connect to the compute node as the opc user and execute this command as the root user. 

# dbaascli cswlib download --version software_version --bp software_bp [--bp_update ( yes | no )] [--cdb ( yes | no )] [--oss_uri download_location]

In the preceding command:

  • software_version — specifies an Oracle Database software version. For example, 11204, 12102, 12201, 18000, 19000.

  • software_bp — identifies a bundle patch release. For example, APR2018, JAN2019, OCT2019, and so on.

  • --bp_update — optionally indicates whether the downloaded software image becomes the current default software image. Default is no.

  • --cdb — optionally specifies whether the downloaded software image supports the Oracle multitenant architecture. Default is yes. If you specify --cdb no, then a separate software image is downloaded that contains binaries to support non-container databases (non-CDB).

  • download_location — optionally specifies the location of the software image library. The location is specified as a uniform resource identifier (URI) to a cloud storage container that contains available software images.

    Normally, the --oss_uri option is not required because the location of the software image library is automatically derived from configuration information in the Exadata Cloud at Customer environment. However, if you experience any difficulties with the automatic location, you can lodge a service request (SR) with Oracle Support and they may instruct you to use this option to specify an alternate location.

To see Oracle Database software images that are available to download to your Exadata Cloud at Customer environment, use the dbaascli cswlib list command.
