Updating the Cloud Tooling on Exadata Cloud at Customer

You can update the cloud-specific tooling included on an Exadata Cloud at Customer compute node by downloading and applying a software package containing the updated tools.

Note:

It is highly recommended to maintain the same version of cloud tooling across your Exadata Cloud at Customer environment.

To check the installed cloud tooling release and check for updates:

Connect to the compute node as the opc user.

See Connecting to a Compute Node Through Secure Shell (SSH).
Start a root-user command shell:
```
$ sudo -s
#
```
Use the following command to display information about the installed cloud tooling and to list the available updates.
```
# dbaascli patch tools list
```
The command output displays:
- The version of the cloud tooling that is installed on the compute node.
- A list of available updates.
- Notification of the cloud tooling version that is installed on the other compute nodes in the VM cluster.
Note:

If the command fails or does not provide the expected output, then check the oss_container_url parameter setting in the configuration file at /var/opt/oracle/exapatch/exadbcpatch.cfg.

The expected URL contains the region and subscription identifiers for your Exadata Cloud at Customer instance in the following form:
```
https://storage.<region_id>.ocm.<subscription_id>.oraclecloudatcustomer.com/v1/Storage-idcs-cloudinfra-<region_id>/dbaas_patch/shome
```
For example, the parameter setting may be similar to:
```
oss_container_url="https://storage.us1.ocm.1234567.oraclecloudatcustomer.com/v1/Storage-idcs-cloudinfra-us1/dbaas_patch/shome"
```
You can also validate the accessibility of the storage container by using the curl command. In this case, use the oss_container_url value without the trailing shome directory. For example:
```
$ curl -v https://storage.us1.ocm.1234567.oraclecloudatcustomer.com/v1/Storage-idcs-cloudinfra-us1/dbaas_patch
```

To update the cloud-specific tooling:

Connect to the compute node as the opc user.

See Connecting to a Compute Node Through Secure Shell (SSH).
Start a root-user command shell:
```
$ sudo -s
#
```
Download and apply the cloud tooling update:
- To update to the latest available cloud tooling, use the following command:
```
# dbaascli patch tools apply --patchid LATEST
```
- To update to a specific cloud tooling release, use the following command:
```
# dbaascli patch tools apply --patchid patch-id
```
  In the preceding command, patch-id is a cloud tooling patch identifier, as reported in the output of the dbaascli patch tools list command.
